    TD5 alarm

    Loosen the earth lead on battery but leave it connected, switch ignition on then off and immediately disconnect the earth lead from battery, then remove the positive lead if you want to remove battery to charge or change battery.

    Defender fires but does not start

    Sounds like air might be getting into the fuel line, try bleeding the fuel system using the bleed sequence before starting, likely leak point may be at fuel pump connections. I do not know if the 2.2 bleed sequence is the same as the TD5 (IGNITION ON PRESS THROTTLE TO FLOOR 5 TIMES)

    TD5 Fuel guage problems

    I wish I had 4 gallon left after doing 300 miles, 300 miles is about average on my TD5, to the point of low fuel light coming on.

    Diesel/petrol mixed fuel
