Thanks for the tip, have checked the ECU, no sign of oil on plugs but will investigate electrics further today

Hi there, my 2004 TD5 has recently developed intermittent problem with starting with engine turning well on starter but not firing even if at operating temperature. This may happen a number of times then start and be fine firing up for a while until the problem returns. Once or twice it has...

Thanks for the reply. Have had a good look at that couldn't see anything amiss but will have another look wondered if I am missing any relays other than those with the fuses behind center panel and under drivers seat. Do you know of any others?

Happy Easter all. I have a problem with a 2004 TD5. The other day the offside rear indicator stopped working, no problem with the bulb. Now the rear and front side lights have stopped and hazards wont work (all bulbs tested OK). Indicators stopped working totally but when disconnected...

How do you remove the top mounting bush from the top end of arear shock absorber? No problem getting the shock off but cannot see how to get the bush out - Thanks in advance of any replies. PS it is a 2004 Defender 110 Td5

How do you remove the top mounting bush from the top end of arear shock absorber? No problem getting the shock off but cannot see how to get the bush out - am I being very dense? Thanks in advance of any replies

Thanks, I'll have a look at the CV joint straight away - here's hoping!

My TD5 110 has developed a strange noise, almost like a rubbing, coming from the front when taking LH bends especially at about 30mph, goes again when straightening out of the bend. Can hear it but cannot feel any vibration through the floor. Have had an initial look around but cannot see any...

Thanks all for the advice, going to gof or a top end tool as it will be put to a lot of use includeing the head (probably Snap-On). Ideas much appreciated.

A very basic question (I hope) is there a "best" torque wrench spec for working on a Defender 110 (04 model). Any advice on what and best place to buy would be welcome. Cheers.

Re my oroginal post concerning poor running TD5 - I checked all as advised including oil in harness, also removed the rocker cover and checked each injector connection - cleaned connector under drivers seat that was pretty gimy re-assmbled all and job done! all has been running smooth since (now...

No change in pump noise and no hiss when removing the filler tank. I'll take a look at the injector harness this morning. No dripping now but I'll also take a look at the fuel pressure regulator. Fingers crossed - thanks for the advice so far.

I recently had a broken bleed cap on the fuel filter of my TD5 noticed when the vehicle ran poorly and after investigating saw diesel dropping. I changed the filter and ran the ECU bleed procedure (now about 20 times!!). Engine is still running poorly, like on 4 cylinders, though occassionally...
