Still got 5 months warranty but dealer scratching their heads trying to find fault, so i thought i would find it for them, then they can foot the bill...

whats the best way to check the fuel pressure? fit an inline guage of some description? I take it that LR testbook does not check fuel pressure? It has never kangarooed and can drive badly right from initial start up and so wouldn't really get a chance to overboost. Lack of fuel could leed to...

How does the ECM control boost pressure on the TD5? There are no electrical components on the turbo as it is driven off exhaust gases. I ask as my 90 has an intermitant fault sometimes it goes great pulling very well from 1000 revs and other times it seems to pull far less well as if lower on...

sounds good. Surely there must be information available that will state what the fault codes mean along with tolerance values. Are thes not available direct from Nanocom?

Has anyone tried or have any feedback for the new Nanocom diagnostic for the TD5? It is available through Bearmach...Any help would be appreciated.

Very good article in this months LRO about EGR systems. Does state that there are no power gains to be had by disconnecting the system...the author needs to test drive my 90!! Probobly no more power top end but driveability over entire rev range is greatly improved

My 2004 90 td5 xs has just returned 36 mpg's on last two tanks, this is driving calmly keeping to 50mph on A roads and mostly 60 on motorway/dual carriageway. It has been remapped and will go very well when required to! It did have power issues and has just had a new turbo as per thread...

Hi, I fitted a 200tdi and gearbox/transfer box into my series 3 lightweight. it gave 35mpg easy and didn't need a power upgrade! Yes you would have to move engine mounts and cross member but it is easy especially on a new cassis as the metal is still nice and thick Used the prop shaft from the...

New turbo fitted today and so far so good...watch this space!

Hi. My Defender had this problem. Initially cured by new airlow meter. All was fine for a while , but still has the same fault but on an intermitant basis. Still have the problem from time to time and as Defender is under warranty it keeps going back, having a new turbo fitted tomorrow as...
