No it doesn't look like mine either 2003.

Hi Bankz5152, It has been running nicely in this hot weather so have held back on the purchase of the MAF. When it starts again I will unplug and order the unit. I will have a look for the MAP sensor and give that a wipe with thinners which I guess would be similar to brake cleaner.

Your are a star bankz5152 thanks.;)

Thank you again bankz5152. If it runs sprightly do I need one at all?

Thank you very much bankz5152. I have a snorkel fitted to my 90 would that have any bearing on the problem do you think.

I will check the rolling resistance when it happens again. Thanks Kwakerman!! MAF sensor? Google..... here I come. EGR blanking kit also. Thanks bankz5152.

Thank you for your input guy's Clutch? Feels more like brake drag, massive lack of power but only for a short period Vinlander. I ask the question about the ERG as I am not sure what symptoms are for a sick ERG.

When cold (only on occasions) my Defender 90 TD5 is extremely slow off the mark. 55k miles. After about 3 minutes it perks up and zooms off. Could this be down to the ERG? Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks fella's and fellaesses if appropriate. What a fantastic bunch Thanks again

Just popped out to fill up the washer bottle and the was no resistance from the bonnet release handle. The bonnet is shut tight. Anyone had this problem before. Need to get into engine bay without a can opener if possible.:(

Hi everyone just noticed smoke from the exhaust when going round tight right handers and then pulling away (mini roundabouts) 90 hard top TD5 52,000 miles, just been through MOT (09/02/16) no real issues. Confusing Smokey numbers... Absorption coefficient 1.42 l/min Mean absorption coefficient...

Will do guy's. 2003 - 46,000 miles do you think that the solenoid would have worn out in that time. I understand that it depends on the number of times the key is turned but thinking about it I wonder if the wear would be that excessive. Will check the connections.

Thanks James.

Won't bloody do it now! All good. I just know tomorrow morning it is going to play up. Feel it in my water. I know the radio light didn't light up and can't remember if I heard a click. If I do get a click what would you guess James? td5nut, will check starter motor earth tomorrow.
