Hi folks,
still battling with poor running Td5 in a MY 2005 Defender I did a compression test with home-made adaptor (on lathe) to have checked all five pots.
As one can see indication charts show hot and cold test in comparison.
Evenly about 21 bars at a few degrees less than operating temperature (had gloves on :mad2: ) and about 25 bars on cold engine.
From my experience this is far to low.
Local engine repair shop says: refer to LR in this matter - LR says refer to dealer - dealer has as expected "not the foggiest idea" ... and refers to new cars show room...
Does anybody have an idea/experience regarding wear limit or minimum required pressure value on Td5's ??
By the way: car has 117.000 kms on the clock. Fitted AMC head from TE @ 93.0000 kms so valve or head seal issue can be excluded.
