Could be the starter solenoid... there are kits to repair the contacts... or just give them a clean... if it's been stood for a while? Might also be worth getting the battery checked/charged?

Text sent... yes it's still available.

For Sale SOLD Demand Sports Silencer for TD5 90, to fit standard system. £190.00 (£252.00 rrp). Demand Engineering Link for full spec.

I had a similar, low power and rough running... solved by a new fuel pump. Cut a hole in the floor to save dropping the tank... will make the job easier if it happens again. Sounds like the garage has run through all the usual TD5 failure points in the hope of fixing the problem.

Would love to dive in, just skint... and haven't even got through christmas yet:( Rev counter definitely on my wish list... Please let me know if it's not sold in the new year.

Ashcroft did my TD5 auto conversion... HD torque converter... went for the compushift rather than the cable system...really good set up, smooth gear changes, and the stage 2 tune works well with this set up. They will certainly have answers to your questions.

I fitted the GL front kit, including new LR mud flaps, as mine had perished and fallen off... been on for a few years now... would highly recommend, especially if you have wider tyres/spacers. They don't stick out, which was a concern before fitting. Now running 235's... but had 265's before...

Having lined the rear a few years ago this was an overdue job... so finally got around to relining the front section: I never realised or expected there would be all this wiring up there... only the speakers and interior light were connected So pulled off the old liner, easy enough... most had...

Fitted some grab handles on the A Pillar... used Genuine Part door handles, and upgraded the screws to set screws... used M4 tap to cut thread into the existing mounts: The keen eyed may notice my temporary bodge... I used matchsticks wedged between the handle and the trim, which has worked...

No, just sanded to bare metal, and degreased with some thinners. The Raptor instructions seemed to suggest this would work, but using their primers would improve adhesion.

I just sprayed Raptor on my Rock Sliders... sanded down to bare metal, degreased and sprayed direct... on the aluminium chequer plate I etch primed first... seems to have bonded well enough.

Finally got around to Raptor coating my rock sliders.... came out a bit rougher than expected, as my Schutz gun wasn't cleaned out properly when I last used it!

Fitted Gwyn Lewis front mud flap kit. Had to remove Dirt Defenders when I fitted rock slider/ side impact sill bars... these work much better, and look Ok too. Should protect the bulkhead/footwell and cross member from crud build up and road spray.... as well as the door handles. I'm only...

Looks like Malvern is back on this Sunday... joint venture with Tractor World which might add a bit more to look at... anyone going? Malvern 4x4, Land Rover & Vintage Spares Day plus Tractor World Parts & Spares Day - Land Rover Monthly & 4x4 Vintage Spares Days (4x4sparesday.co.uk) Just...

Passed the MOT with the usual advisory... minor oil leak!
