Quick update, still waiting on timing pins... In meantime have read a lot about the MAF & checked mine. (I don’t have nanocom yet) -Running w/ MAF plugged in or not, makes no difference. -voltage output at idle is 1.9 volts -voltage at full rev is 3.45 max am not sure if I have a problem or not...

Out of curiosity, how did your timing check turn out?

Nice! We have a cottage up that way.. that’s why I know my td5 doesn’t like really, really cold starts

You are all a fun bunch, I can see that , EH?

We are in Caledon, about an hour north of Toronto.

:)I've already ordered some things from him, and certainly could use his advice. unfortunately we are too far apart for him to work on it.

thank You, am looking forward to getting it really dirty!

We’ve had our share of issues already, but getting through them one by one. We wanted a project, and that’s what we’ve got!

it’s not a big fan of (really cold) cold starts, but does like the snow.

I just placed an order with Mike, it's nice to be able to get a few things here "locally" . I appreciate your help

I haven't checked him out, but will now! thank you

Thank you! I’m not sure how things could have gotten out of alignment, but hopefully this solves it. I’ve ordered the pins, Will be 10 days or so to get them to Canada. will avoid highways & hills till then! (Assuming it’s safe to drive).

I appreciate your response & offer my apologies Discomania, my wording / description was off.. when the camshaft alignment hole is aligned to the hole in the head, the hole in the gearbox (for threaded alignment pin) is not aligned to slot in crankshaft flywheel.

thank you will get a pin & go through it all. cheers!

Hi all, have always wanted a defender. they are tough to find here, but now I'm in it! picked up an '05 110 TD5 for my son & I to cut our knuckles on & it hasn't disappointed. am sure to be spending time on this forum !

Thank you Lynall, seller did say head gasket was replaced. will have a look for that thread.

Thanks for the reply! I don't have a proper pin, maybe i should invest in one. bad photos, but looks like with the cam centered, the other slot is noticeably off. It does smoke a bit but not too bad. I've run 2 tanks of injector cleaner through it w/o much improvement before noticing this.

Hi all, I have a "new to me" '05 defender TD5 that is seriously lacking power in gears 3-5, hates hills. tops out at 90kph on a flat. MAF is good, new stock turbo (oil leek in old one & shop cracked housing when trying to repair), EGR has been blanked, engine compression is 400psi, injectors are...
