I have done 3 of these on my TD5, one was aftermarket, one second hand and one I just bought the regulator. The first included the main body to head gasket, the other gaskets I got of ebay. The new regulator has been on for a few years now but I do have a pressure problem at start up, no power...

I’m with James – fuelling issue. I can’t be bothered waiting for the light to go out and she will start without a problem. Unbuernt fuel in a cold exhaust wont smoke, will it ? The only time I may have a starting problem is if I have less than a 1/3 tank of diesel but I think this is a FPR issue...

Never changed mine, 305k miles and still goes in the right direction ! Life can be difficult enough with a D2 without trying to find non existent problems.

Worked for me about 100k miles ago

10w40, semi, ASDA and changed every 6000 miles - seems to work !!

New bush sets are available for about £10 on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.Xtd5+starter+repair.TRS0&_nkw=td5+starter+repair&_sacat=0 Done 3 on mine so far - the top nut is a bugger to get off and is a differnet size to the bottom two...

Fair point on the bodge - I'll have to do something as the water sensor/plug has disintigrated so nothing lights up now. Will check sensor over the weekend. I'm interested in peoples mental/driving attitude towards ABS, on my Discovery all 4 brakes work, TC works (but some of the lights don't)...

Not sure how this new site works yet - did you get my reply ?

Unpluged fluid and handbrake switches. 3 amigos are not reliable following this issue (which you kindly helped with a few years ago) https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/td5-abs-tc-and-hd-lights.213967/ I never got round to unwiring the instrument panel wires - on my list of things to do! I...

Handbrake light stays on - checked brake fluid level and all OK. I have also disconnected both switches which I thought would have extinguished the light but it stays on. I can't see anything else which would cause the light to stay on but I am open to suggestions !!

An interesting situation regarding the fan - I removed my siezed fan about 5 years ago and have never had a problem with overheating, even driving through London on the hottest day of this year. If you are on a motorway (and moving!) there is enough air flow through the radiator to keepthings...

As a matter of interest what mileage had it done when it snapped. Can't seem to find any advice on when it should be changed. Thanks

Taking the S1 up the A1 in July on an open trailer - any idea on the best cover to use? Thanks

If the ECU connector was full of oil the rest of that loom and the ECU may be contaminated - best case clean the inside of the ECU, worst case new ECU and engine wiring loom.

Don't worry about stripping threads just us two long bolts and nuts to secure the cap. It's easier to do the one nearest the engine with the main filter off.

Not sure my chassis would last that long but would love to try it !!

I've sealed that part up, along with a few other holes in the bottom of the air filter box - don't want water getting in. If the air filter box has water in it and the engine is running then disaster looms, the air/water mix may get pulled in. Too late to "dump" it later !

use longer nuts that go right through on both, but do this before you fit the other oil filter otherwise getting to the one nearer the engine is very difficult

Been running mine for 5 years in the UK and Europe without a fan, we're still going strong, not sure I could even find the fan now!
