the range on mine is particulaly poor (as id my spelling due to red wine) but as i only wany to get in it when i am next to it and lock it when i have just got out of it it has not been a problem

Its funny you should go for the battery as if i (from a petrol tuning background) had to select a battery for a 2.5tdi it would be around 900cca, i think i shal have a new bat under warranty, but if its batt then why only fail twice in all this time

both times it was parked at about 8 in the evening and I was back out to it about 7 in the morning. the 2 times were today and about 3 weeks ago Only info I have to hand on battery test is: 12.50 v measured at 542 cca rated 620cca

been through the full battery test/charge current as the alternator is "smart charge" and is ok. with ign all off static load is 0.03a if you have 1a static load you have a major fault as an interior light is about 0.3(not picking faults with adivice just sharing what info i know) its only...

For the 2nd time in 6 weeks i get up and go to hit the c/l button and nothing happens, its an 05 td5 xs no power in battery as its drained over night I know that no lights have been left on are there any relays/solenoids prone to sticking in the energized position and dragging the charge...

The wife used to work for BP and the quality difference in refinment between branded fuels and supermarket fuels is nowhere near as large as everyone thinks. its the same as when I worked for LG electronics we made many other brands or at least badged them just like phillips audio visual or...

I just loved " totally standard except being cut back" yeah mate its just like it rolled out the factory. its a classic case in point, you see it more on saxo's and corsa's, he started modifiying it and didn't know (or have any good mates brave enough to tell him) when to stop. we have a...

1st ever job today, never worked on a fender until today, removed EGR valve and fitted kit from TD5 Alive was careful with the bolts out of the exhaust manifold, other than that no drama's

If you know anyone who owns/manages a pub use the Co2 they use and ditch the big bottle as there are not mobile and it hurts when you drop it on yourself, as for the argon mix(i assume its a mig your talking about) its only woth it for thin sheet, you can get the same results with co2 as long as...

Is this because as G-man said there is no butterfly so there is never a need to reduce presure in a partially sealed section of intake Iam learning:)

its a defender. thanks for the info, I am starting to get my head around diesels Cheers

Having not got upclose and personal with my engine yet I can only assume the TD5 runs a re circulating dump valve Is there any benefit to fitting an atmospheric valve I am just getting into the ways of tuning diesels and arn't sure how much transfers across from tuning petrol engines yet...

Mine lives on the drive behind the gates and under the security camera and you can't blink around here without one of the spaniels wanting to know whats going on

Can't get photo as the wife is at work in it the connection is as below, but with the screws to secure the plug into whatever it goes into. its yellow and is on a non fused connection/earth to body all the other cables are spliced into the yellow cables to the ECU

When the guy from landrover assist was out yesterday we found a non std patch lead spliced into the engine ecu loom/a body earth and a live from the 2ndry fuse box its about 2 feet long, looks professionally fitted, its mainly yellow with a laptop looking connection on the end which has "power...
