Thank you buddy! Yeah fingers crossed I got away with this one! Still a bloody stupid mistake though

That's what I thought, thankfully I drove it really gently so I think I might have lucked out, no marks on the gears

I had low and high, diff lock.....all worked. I didn't think it was that easy to fit backwards but it was so easy I didn't notice

So I did something silly...... I had to change the shaft on my mt82 gearbox, did that and rushed to get everything back on. But had a road speed related noise, not actually that loud but you could hear it only when accelerating from 30mph. Anyway, driven it about 100 miles and just looked...

Bumpy bumpy, does anyone know anything about these o rings and if I can put them back in somehow? I've managed to get 1 in but it's leaking...albeit slowly

I had a post on the td5 forum regarding air getting into the fuel, and stalling/preventing air bleed. There was a split on hose by filter so I fixed that and then when I started I had loads of diesel coming from tank.....so I dropped front of tank enough to see the fuel lines in the pump....the...

Thank you! It's on a td5 defender 130 actually although I know it's all the same with the Discovery 2 hence I stuck it in this section but yeah I guess it's more a vehicle thing than an engine thing! I have some time today, I have a new non return valve and bleed valve for the filter block so...

Thank you MJI Pump sounds like it's running fine, was actually replaced quite recently. Is there any way at all it could be the fuel filter itself? I normally use Mahle and only had a Britpart one.....but surely it's only a filter!? What about the non return valve or bleed valve in the filter...

teensy update.......seems to be worse when the tank has less diesel in it....quarter of a tank today vs 3/4 the other day and it's way worse.

Morning all, Weird problem on the TD5, so it was running good, but the diesel heater we have wasn't getting a good enough fuel supply as I had temporarily tucked the fuel line under one of the filler joins and clamped up with jubilee clip......as the tube got squashed it lost supply so the only...

Afternoon all! I've just done the cylinder head on my series 2a and I've had so many issues with the manifold it's unreal, had it together yesterday.....then started and it was blowing out between the inlet and exhaust manifold bit.....the square gasket. Tightened, still blowing. Loosened the...

No worries buddy I'll do some hunting! thank you

hey Wimblow, yeah codes have confirmed. We are going to have a crack at it later today. Thank you so much for them pages.....and where the hell can I get the workshop manual? That looks bloody fantastic!

Morning guys my dad's 2.2 defender keeps going into limp mode on a long drive to cornwall......so I may have to jump in my defender and meet him somewhere with tools to change it over (i've got a new one). Is this possible/mad? I do work on my Land Rovers just have never had to remove/replace...

Probably could have worked out a clearer title but that pretty much covers it...... .....so basically the low pressure return line from the fuel filter on the 130 TD5 I'm trying to get started today had a break on the little weird connector that goes onto the fuel filter housing. I've ordered...
