I drove one Discovery TD5 Automatic today, they are nothing like 300 Tdi, I didn’t like it all. I will stick with Manual 300TDi. If anyone selling a 110 (Pre 1985) 5 doors then please get it in touch.

Hi yes, i am intending to do all of the work myself as gained my will power by working on my 90 lol. I am looking for a pre 1985's Defender 110 with TD5 but can't find any. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place :-(

Hi thanks for the explanations, sorry what would be the advantage of 1.3 ratio ? Does anyone has a experience with TD5 automatic Defender

Thanks for your advice, I have read on the Wikipedia Defender history and noticed that 300tdi with Automatic transmission does 122bhp? If 300Tdi is more powerful with an Automatic transmission then why would it makes sluggish? The price they charge is insane, for M57 conversion, I personally...

Hi I have a full driving license and own a luxury Auto Mercedes, but I still love to drive my Defender 90 with LT77 gearbox. I’m interested to find out that people prefer manual Defender or automatic? I was under the impression everyone wants Automatic

Hi where have you advertised your Defender?

Hi Folks Hope everyone is doing good. I love the iconic Defender and I’m thinking to buy an old 110 so it could be restored properly with galvanise chassis and other parts along with an Automatic transmission. When I read the threads about 300Tdi, TD5 or M57 engines everyone has their good and...

Hi Flossie, I’m being so dumb as I didn’t realise that yes there is a spring on that ignition switch and finally I have leaned it now how to use it. It does allow me to twist the key to spring and glow plug light come on. Thanks for your help you are a star 😇

Thanks for your help

Hi folks Could someone please explain in plain English that what does that +90 means? Does that bolt needs to turn further 90 degrees manually? Or that 27mm bolt needs to be tightened to 80 Nm first then once again tighten to 90 Nm? Thanks

Hi Folks I am new to this, could someone please explain is similar language what does +90 means. I did torque it to 80nm with a torque wrench but not sure about this +90 means. Does that mean after 80nm torque, that 27mm bolt needs to be tightened further turn to 90degree? I have done about 100...

Hi mate my 300tdi is making the whining noise on heavy load or high rev too. Recently I have renewed the Manifold gasket and pulled the turbo slight off without taking off the exhaust, maybe it might have disturbed its seal. Do you have any pictures about that flang you are talking about?

Hi I think it was the 2.5td diesel engine

Hi folks Thanks for your precious time. I have replaced this cap without removing manifold. I knocked the old one out carefully with a 36inch long crow bar without damaging the Engine block edges. This new cap’s steel is slightly thicker may be 1-2 mm and depth is also couple of mm bigger. I...

I will try to replace it, bit scared hope that won’t drop into the Engine. I think someone already applied some sort of putty on it instead of replacing the cap. May be I could smear it with some TRV

I have just watched a video on YouTube for replacement. I have just renewed the manifold gasket and P Gasket and Red coolant. It’s seems like I have to remove everything again OMG. Can I reuse the Coolant if I manage to drain it slowly and use a filte to put it back in again. Or could that core...

Hi thanks for your reply, it has some space but not enough. Could you please provide any instructions how to replace these core plugs or refer to any manual?

Hi yes it’s pre Tdi model. It only has one position to switch on the ignition then on the further turn it starts the engine. Please advise what would the best way forward

Hi frinds P gasket was leaking on my 300Tdi conversion. Which replaced around couple of weeks ago. I noticed some coolant leak again and thought P Gasket is still leaking then I replaced the P Gasket again with TRV this time. Today I have noticed that coolant is leaking again. I inspected under...
