I press lock button on remote once to lock and twice to deadlock, get a single beep when deadlocked and mirrors fold in.

What size tyres are you going to use that you need such a wide offset. I used 37x 12.5x 16 trepadors on a-35 offset 10” rim. It needed wide arches to be road legal.

I’d query why they used 5w30 oil when 15w40 is recommended for 200tdi.

I’d always start by locking the crank.

Did you set the engine to tdc before removing/pinning it?

I’ve 2 019, 110 CA, batteries linked together in my battery box. Does the job nicely

I’ve had issues like this using the cheap Chinese pumps. I had 3 over a 2 month period before ditching them an buying a genuine pump.

Had a similar issue when I had a D3, but on the front passenger window, I had to remove the CJB from behind the glovebox, nightmare to get at. Once off the car I cleaned the terminals, reassembled and all worked as it should.

With bubbling in the expansion tank it sounds like a head gasket.

If it’s one of the companies who collect your car and supposedly deliver it back fixed, be very careful as a lot don’t get there cars back or get them back not fixed but thousands out of pocket. There’s a thread on LZ somewhere highlighting the company

I’ve just had a 200 tdi rebuilt by Bambers Automotive Machine Specialists LTD in Preston. Whilst I was there he was showing me round the workshop and he was in the process of rebuilding his sisters 2.0l ingenium engine which had also had timing chain issues.

Once off, have the head pressure tested

Cracked head around the exhaust ports, allows exhaust gases into water jacket , pressuring the coolant and forcing it out the expansion tank over flow

Early td5 heads were known for cracking around the exhaust ports, leading to pressuring the coolant and blowing water out the overflow on the expansion tank when pushed Once head is off, have it checked for cracks before re fitting

Defender is inline 6

2.0 has been dropped from the defenders

I’m pretty sure the 3.0 diesel engine in the new defender is a different breed than the D4. Not heard of any cranks snapping in the defender, the majority of the issues in the ingenious engines were in the 2.0 litre that has been dropped by LR.

Could just be the go pedal ain’t being pressed hard enough 😂

Could the ecu not recognise the amount of boost if maybe a boost box had been fitted? I don’t know if one is fitted to the ops car but it was a popular mod on remapped td5.

Think in response 39 I told you to disconnect the maf
