Hi,
New to the site, so go easy on me.
I have viewed for several months now ( and have found it extremely informative ) since I took the plunge and bought a DiscoTD5 ( Had Defender 300 Tdi for 5 yrs).
Firstly details - it is a 2001 GS Td5 Auto 7 seater with A/C, SLS and NO ACE and 70 000 miles.Also is chipped .
Since I bought ( 6 months ) it I have had the dreaded 3 Amigos which was the driver front sensor
and diesel leak which was the Fuel regulator
, I have ripped out the EGR( On your recommendation)
and treated it to a full service BUT
1. On Friday did some light trailer work and when re started sounded like running on 4 Cyl , lots of vibration , pulling like s##t


.
2. Got her home and checked site and found thread about Oil in injector Harness, so removed plug at head and found oil, also removed plug from ECM and more oil , so cleaned both plugs with carb cleaner and hooked all back up and started engine and it is running better than ever.but
- Can you spray carb cleaner onto ECM without any probs?
- I would like to change the Injector harness ( I believe there is a newer type )but am not sure if the newer type is suitable for my year?
Finally - where would I get a replacement wiring loom from the Head to ECM ( I think I saw a thread about making up your own but Electronics and wiring not my thing, just nuts and bolts) ?
Cheers in advance
