Hi everyone, Always had a little slop in drivetrain and on reading about defenders didn't worry too much as some is supposedly normal?... Anyway in last week much worse. In gear on slight acceleration or at power to maintain a constant speed i.e say in 3rd or 4th to maintain a constant speed...

Case solved. Removed air intake pipe into air box to get better access the crank sensor located around 10 O clock on bell housing if viewed from direction of engine. Removed plug and 8mm fastener sensor to bell housing and then removed crank sensor. Covered in mixture of oil and coolant...

Ok codes are in guys and gals.... 83 high speed crank synchronisation lost fault. 136 injector 2 open circuit detected 141 injector 2 short circuit detected. After clearing and starting up several times the only code I could get it to re throw was the first one (code 83) Any thoughts or...

Hey guys 04 defender starting to fall apart! Need some help. Td5 started to develop misfire on start up (regardless if engine hot or cold) and also will misfire if sitting at lights at idle too long with the accompanying smoke from tailpipe. After the misfire goes back to normal for another...

Gmacz I will check play then.. Scooby I will get the brand for you but don't get too excited. It completely doesn't work for normal engine data/codes, only for abs. I believe the nanocom does heaps more in regards to abs this only tells me codes and function to clear.

An update for you lightning I went to beach today and was a dirt access road and cleared code and then tested brakes felt abs work through pedal and no lockup. Soon after handbrake light reappeared. Tried again and no abs, wheels locked up. Will have a play with that wheel sensor later in week...

Thanks lightning I'll be sure to give that sensor a clean and make sure fully seated. Hopefully won't need a new one. Thanks mystery yes I am not sure it continually clicks I may try get a replacement relay too. Check the earth under seat is clean....

Ok I'll try resetting and find some gravel! Thanks for the suggestion.. yes I hope all they did was remove the globes... Cheers mate!

To add to this abs relay rapidly clicks once engine starts for around 1 to 2 seconds then emergency park light comes on.

Hi everyone, Wondering if I could get some diagnostic direction. Have a 04 TD5 110. Handbrake light on constantly (I have replaced the handbrake switch and checked connections to the brake fluid and know it is neither of these). I have no traction control or abs lights ever so assume previous...

In reference is a td5 110 with r380. When I bought my car (second hand) I knew that gear changes into 2nd and 3rd were a little crunchy and you had to rev match to get a smooth change. I assumed a box with 220km fair enough that synchros would be getting a little old. I looked into rebuilding...

Thx scooby yes i have eliminated the handbrake switch and lvl switch as error points i can do this by looking at the light when key to position 2 and light comes on by manipulating the brake fluid switch or handbrake. Fluid is correct and have disconnected the fluid sensor completely anyway as...

Hi Everyone. Wondering if anyone can help in regards to td5 04 model 110 with abs. Bit of background- I assume that my defender had the 3 amigos at some point as the tc and abs light do not come on with ignition. I am unsure how a previous owner got the lights to go off? Wires at module look...

Metal ones blue dog mine is an 04

Hi guys been a long time but thought i would give a update for people searching for similar experience to me. After replacing busted thermostat and rodded out radiator still had overheat problems. Temp of top of head would sit around 94 and get to 107 odd under load (have aftermarket temp gauge...
