TD5 injector loom,

Mick.S said:

Hi,
I'm sure this topic has been covered a million and one times so apologies,
My 1999 TD5 defender has succumbed to the injector loom oiling problems,
I have carefully replaced the loom, cleaned the oil from the ecu red plug
but still have the problem,
my question/s are,
do i need to replace the loom all the way to the ecu ?
does the ecu need resetting in any way

all and any advice much appreciated,

just out of interest, how much would it cost (roughly) to have the work done at a landy garage and could anybody recommend a good one blackpool/preston area,

Did you drain the oil out of the ECU, and what other problems are you noticing?

And no, you won't have to replace the entire loom back to the ecu, however you may still have resdual oil seeping out for a while.

Hi John thanks for the reply,
out on the road everything is ok until you hit around 55/60 mph
when the engine starts misfireing,(not backfireing)
up to this speed everything is fine the engine revs freely and performs
normally.
Hope that helps,
Mick

hi, do you still have the egr valve connected,if so has it been cleaned recently or better still removed, also once a new injector loom is fitted you need to clean the red plug on the ecu periodically until oil is no longer present as some oil still remains in the main loom and can take quite a while to work through
