Defender Td5 injector loom

back again trying to resolve my Td5 Defender problem. One or two members may recall that I have had an ongoing issue with my Td5 which, initially started to show overheating whilst towing. When the engine had been running well for approximately 20 miles it decided to cut out. It was as if I had turned off the engine. If I left the engine to cool for about an hour of so, it would start again quite happily and, after a few hundred yards, it would cut out again.

I have had several tests done and it looks as if it is the injector loom. The mechanic has said that there is no problem with the head

Does anyone,nout there in Loonyzone, have any advice on purchasing a spurious after market loom, or should I go for the Land Rover genuine replacement which, no doubt, will be two or three times the price

Any thoughts would be most welcome

Hi,

I have a loom that cost about £25, seems to be working fine.

Cheers

You could check the Britpart one at £22 as both times l have had one of these it's been an OE in the box.

Thanks for that Neilly. What brand is it, or can you let me know where you got it from?

Really appreciate your help, as ever

That's the sort of response from Britpart that I have never come across before! Thanks for your reply

Hi Alan,

I'd want to fit the OE item with this part. Prices seem to have gone up....it's £38.

As you say, fitting the genuine think is going to cost a few pounds extra, but worth it in the end
