What is it you don't like about the TD5?

Go into the Disco section and post. Also do a search, it will bring up loads of info.

i tried to get a EGR kit from them, tried ringing, various emails and nothing. In the end i got it from TD5 Alive. They do have good reviews though from other forums. Think the guy is on another forum, Porny or Porky or something is the guy who owns it i think.

yep, that does make sense. It does seem better when i pull a double axel trailer (1.3 ton empty) straight from cold, so this would make sense as they would warm up faster. It takes me 20 mins i guess, as i practically go straight onto a dual carriage way and the clutch doesnt really get much...

Ok, will have a look at that. Think its all dry though. As i said, its no different if its been sitting for 2 weeks or over night. It still judders the same, and takes the same amount of time to sort itself out. If it was an oil leak, surely it would be worse the longer its been sitting?

Yeah, its a weird one. How long before yours stops juddering?

i like the inside of the TD5s. Get some pics up of your truck. It must have some sort of dash in at the moment. They dont come with much in, the Puma Defenders Dash's are alot more modern than the previous ones though. I like the simple look design of the later TD5s

Got a bit of a starnge one here. Everytime i get in the car in the morning (or anytime its been standing for a while), the clutch for the first 10-15mins is really juddery. After this time is goes back to being perfect. I asked my mechanic when it was last in to have a look, but nothing came to...

personally i would stick with a manual. I had a TD5 auto disco before my TD5 defender and wouldnt change it back. I just prefer a defender with a manual box.

my average over the last 6000 miles is 34 MPG from my defender 90. I cant imagine that if i get a remap, i will get 40MPG from A defender. I have EGR removed, thats it!! Oh and some fill ups i get 36 mpg average. Cheers

I had my FPR when i was in The Alps. Cost me 220 euro, and took about a week to get it. Should of ordered it from england and just fitted it.

Hi, Just a quick one: im going to change my gearbox, transfer and diff oils. Going for the Difflock Evo oils. I will get 3 ltrs of the EVo 1 for gearbox. I have added up and i think i require 4.7l of the Evo 2 for Transfer & Diffs. Does everyone reckon 5ltrs is enough or should i go...

I have only been on a couple about a month or so ago, they ran down past the youth hostle and out towards Thursley. They were really dry. Obviously its rained since but will head out soon for another look. I want to find some mud to play in!!

I will go with you if you want, I know a few around hindhead that wernt too bad last time I went. Could just take some gardening stuff just encase though. I'm offshore for a while at the mo, but will be back in a week or 2!

Your weight budget is 3500kg, say your landy is 2000kg, you will have 1500kg left for trailer (including what's in it) this rule is fine for a landy, it gets more complex with a lighter vehicle as the trailer can't exceed the towing vehicles weight, but with a landy you shouldn't tow anymore...

I done it a couple of times, it's bloody horrid, cleaning it first, dust and sh1te everywhere then you come out looking like u have been down pit!! I got loads on my face, had to White spirit myself to get clean. Pump it in everywhere, keep your brakes etc clean though, oh and the exhaust!! Good...

I have heard that they have probs with the clutch as it's a ford design thing. Common with all vans, cars etc, but don't know anyone who has had one go so could be one of those miths! That Mpg sounds aweful, I get 34mpg average (90 TD5) some of which is towing a 1.5tonne (empty) trailer and...

I commute about 80 miles a day, from near Guildford to Winchester. So about 500 a week with weekends etc, so about 2000 a month. I wouldn't consider buying a run about, what's the point, I like driving my truck, it's good in bad weather etc. I get about 36mpg avaeage, so isn't that bad. It's a...

Yep sounds like it to mr after all the stuff I have read. Read the post "help with diagnosis please" i'm currently trying to work out what's going on with mine. It's a similar problem!!
