I should read more words instead of concentrating on the pictures :)

Then read the code with nanocom or hawkeye(i dont know other tools to be 100% reliable with the Td5 engine management) but as long as the EML comes on it can be only the crank sensor or TPS unless the ECU is at fault.

Appreciate the advice. As it is Saturday, I'll try it before the workshop opens on Monday so I can cancel the rebuild if it works. I did not proceed as I was worried if there is contamination in the steering rack or pump that I cannot drain out...

Lots of off roaders remove the drop links and anti-roll bar completely so why not? Remove the drop links and tie up the ends of the anti-roll bar and see how it is.

A decent FL1 should be between £1k and £2k for a low mileage example so the only reason to throw money at one is for the fun of doing it. I was talking to a guy yesterday who has bought a clean 2003 HSE with 70k for £1300

Pretty little hippo. Welcome to LandyZone

Sorry been off here for a while had other jobs on the go ie Narrowboat and 6 night’s work back to the car now got new sensor for the drivers side from rimmers part number MHK100940G got the old cats off the car today proper ball ache but done can...

Can you ignore the link in future please.

Sorry! Someone linked this thread, will ignore now.

Here are the facts. I have tracks all expenses I have made on this car (excluding Fuel, Insurance and Road Tax) on just repairs and making it ready for green-laning. feel free to guess how much but It just below anyway. I replaced / repaired...

Pressurise enough and it will blow coolant out the overflow which goes to the side and then underneath and then drips down the wing.

Whole f_ckin' day wasted today on those two bolts and no further forward. That and trying to bleed the high pressure pipes with 2 dodgy batteries that **** themselves as soon as you try to crank. Utterly wasted ****ing day. Those bolts have one...

Update - put in new pulley bearing and new water pump. P gasket leaking, so got new gaskets and removed...I found housing cracked top and bottom. Crack towards pulley housing location and a big piece broken off at alternator bottom bolt hole...

Anyone had anything like this the engine fires up runs fine, boost pipes connected, all new vacuum lines tested, new fuel line and pump but no throttle at all doesn't even splutter just stays the same, Ecu shows that the throttle is there and...

Realistically there was only thirty bob's worth of damage as it was only a FL wot got torched 🤣

The valve stuck closed fault can be two possible faults. Its either that the valve is actually stuck closed. Or its a faulty height sensor. If the EAS controller reads a certain height that is too low and its tries to pump up the coresponding...

The bottom of the throttle body where the coolant runs through is held on by 3 tiny bolts, if the seiling surface is not perfect or if these bolts get over thightened or if the gasket gets old it will leak. Clean it properly, flatten and clean...

And has been EGR blanked

Hello It’s a TD5 10P manual the limp mode is now on every journey I drive so I have stopped using it currently till I can fix

well you've got 3 peeps now telling you to ignore the stuff you have found and to just get on and enjoy it. So I hope you do!!! ;););)

I had a car once which had a missing drop link, I never noticed! Probably not best practice but I can't see how it will hurt for testing purposes, might affect the handling a bit if you go hurtling down some twisty roads.

That’s an interesting idea. I surely cannot drive without the links???

Go & find some young yoofs to race of the lights. Then plugs look good to me. It runs & drives. Enjoy it while the suns out

Or twist them with power

Erm, the car he has sounds like a parts car for a working, but tatty one he buys. Erm, scrub that. Without an engine, props and presumably a box and other bits, it probably not even a decent parts car. Erm, scrub that. Best have a chat with...

Ssshhhhh
