Sounds like a power draw pulling through the light cluster ?

Does the number of trailer axles come into it or is it just weight ?

The 15p onwards td5 engines came standard with steel head dowls and the oil pump drive doesn't come off lol

My best mate has a 2.4 110 and another mate has a 2.2 110 . they are identical apart from colour to look at but the 2.2 has a lot more pull but they both feel **** to drive . no leg room and clunky gearbox

Its run like this for 3 years everyday and its been worked hard . we wired it into the yellow and white wire on the ECU plug and put a earth dump on it . you maybe don't approve but it works and hasn't caused any problems on my 90 or the 2 my mate has . my d2 has one of Pete bells boost boxes on...

Your right it'll never see 300k but I just did it to see how far it could be pushed and I was surprised how tough they are . I wont do it again to this extreme cos the fuel consumption is stupid but its a savage angry thing that makes me smile but its time it went for a more sensible truck for...

Why buy a boost box when you can just use a resistor in the right place . actuator as short as poss full size front mount . silicone hoses egr blank . middle box removed and a custom map by big fish . I will gladly show you it do it if you want

A standard td5 turbo will make 28 psi and the hybrid I got from the turbo centre can do nearly 30 psi . my 99 defender just keeps taking it and has done for a long time now

Clean the pencil filter out while you have the reg off . its behind the little black o ring in the side of the head

I put a all makes injector loom in my defender and it was ****ing oil out within 2 months and had buckled and distorted when I took the top off the engine . genuine one was about 45 quid and I only ever fit genuine pressure regs . our lad has tried repair kits but doesn't always work . he just...

Have you tried in Dixon at rsb . the gear he makes for the defenders is good and it ain't expensive

It would be the dearest remap known to man lol

I went for big cooler hybrid turbo running 28psi and a real savage map with torque limiter smoke limiter and rev limiter all set off the scale on a 99 defender with 130.000 on her she's done 170 now and no problems other than exhaust manifolds and AFM's

I bet the fuel screw on the back of the pump has been screwed in a bit . back it off half a turn and see what happens

Pete bell that owns bas at York is the boy when it comes to mapping 5s . it's a live map not just a generic map that most places offer . get yourself there he's a really decent fella

Go for TDI power and 5 gears otherwise a 17 yo will beat it to death . my brother started with a c reg NA diesel 90 . when he'd killed 3 na engines we put a 200 in and it was quicker used less fuel and he didn't kill it

Where abouts are you going in the dales ?

Never seen that happen before . strange one

When I've put rrc axles under 90's in the past I've just joined both pipes together in a T piece . never had any trouble with em

The answer does not have freelander written on its arse . no just no
