    Anyone have any experience with putting in a Overdrive for their TD5? It seems like a good addition.

    Normal temperature for Coolant

    I am stateside. I am essentially 1000 feet above sea level. Maybe my thermostat is knackered.

    Normal temperature for Coolant

    I have a 2005 TD5 that I use a nanocom with. I have read on forums that normal Highway speed temperatures are under 105C. Elsewhere I have read anything over 96C is bad news. When I get close to 3k RPMS for extended periods I will get 101-102 degrees. My needle on the dash of course is...

    I have been looking at Turner engines. I hear (from online folks) they are tremendous. Let us know what you find and who you go with. Good luck.

    A.C. question

    I have to replace my ac condenser and fan. Break in the line feeding it. Will I need to replace my dryer since it has been exposed? Someone mentioned it to me after we found the crack in the pipe leading to condenser. Does this sound right? Or should I just go ahead and order the condenser...

    Fuel gauge Flippin and floppin

    Update. I think I had fuel in the female ends of the connector to the top of the fuel pump. (sloppy job, the tank was full when I pulled the old one) I cleaned them out with some pipe cleaners, and aired them. On the road trip home the fuel gauge appeared to be in working order again. The...

    Fuel gauge Flippin and floppin

    Thanks for the reply! I habe new washers so I hope it's not the dam things again. The hairline crack. This seems very plausible as the past appears extremely brittle on my top portion of the plug. Is this what you are referring too as the "board"?

    Fuel gauge Flippin and floppin

    Hell all, Just changed my Td5 Fuel pump. Old one was whining to beat hell, still ran fine, but it was getting the dying cat death rattle. New one has been in for about 400 miles and then my fuel gauge went back and forth as if waving goodbye. Now it's unreliable. The whine, is coming on in...

    It is all true. They have absolutely taken to destroying any and all "newer" models from entering the US. You know, safety first, or something. But alas, the American Spirit is still alive!

    Greetings Everyone

    My first D90 was an 87 with a V8. I drove this truck all over the US, into Canada, never once breaking down on me. I did a lot of maintenance on it to do so, and I am lucky by nature. Current one I brought over has a TD5. Which even with all the BS that comes with it, I love. The...

    Greetings Everyone

    I have lurked on many Land Rover forums over the years. Fell for the Land Rover brand when I would see family pictures of them in Rhodesia. I had the chance to drive a few when in Africa during some contract work after my time in the Military (USA). Anyways I have a TD5 in my D90 and it...
