Hi Tidd So... finally getting to a close on my situation. The results from the injector specialist testing in Oz confirmed that all 5 of my injectors had been damaged. They are being fully re-built and shipped back this week so hoping to get my truck back late next week. They are completing a...

That's interesting... at least I'm dealing with a business that accept their responsibility to put this situation right and it's not costing me anything. It's just taking such a long time. I can't believe how much I miss my Defender too...I've had some very nice new courtesy cars to drive while...

Yay! That's great news...(except you beat me and I hate losing :-) My injectors are being tested right now in OZ, so will be interesting to see what the results are. I assume it will be a similar fix. Out of interest... do you have any idea what these guys might have done to damage the...

Hey Tidd I thought that might be the case, sorry, I know what it feels like! I promise to let you know when I have any answers at this end...I've had to give the agent my grumpy conversation as they hadn't even sent the injectors off yet (very frustrating). My suggestion to you is to find an...

Hi Jabber Thanks for the input...the vehicle is with the largest LR service facility in NZ and pretty sure they have all the computer gadgets for fault assessment. Infact... I think the issue here is that they rely on the computer too much and in this case it's got no answers. They've done the...

Thanks guys... that's interesting... but guess what...when I took it in with the starting problem...they told me it was the fuel pump so it's got a brand new one...and it didn't make a jot of difference with the starting problem and the car continued to run perfectly on the new pump, as it did...

its a TD5 2003

Can anyone shed any light on why a simple injector seal/washer replacement process would result in complete loss of power. Went in with cold starting problem... washers and seals replaced... perfect to start now but no power. LR agent has had it for 2 months now and think its a faulty...

I would be he doesn't want to know me ;)

I'm on the North Shore in Auckland so feel free to get in touch if you need any help in your travels!

Sorry... a bit dense... only just spotted these kind welcomes! Thank you! I have a 2003 110 TD5.:o

Hi Here's an update and still looking for help.. I'm not a mechanic...but over the last month... this is how it's gone. Took it to Land Rover agent with starting issue...told them what had been suggested here by JasWilliams (thanks). They thought unlikely... but said they would test and check...

Thanks for the reply/suggestion... I'll look into those potentials and keep you posted. P.S I assume that is not normal to have to prime pre-start every time you start? I have never done this before this problem developing, always just turn the key and got going.

Any advice on the following would be appreciated... my Defender has just recently started developing starting issue. At the moment it is only after sitting for several hours... when it does start (after maybe 3 to 5 attempts), if I turn it off immediately and re-try it will fire instantly. I...

Am relatively new Defender owner in NZ... dogs and horses are my life so it's a perfect fit for me. As too is this forum now I've got one :-) :)
