Hi, the best gain we get from decat and silencer removal is improved low down response,and best of all the stupid heat transfer ( to both front seat occupants)from the above!On close inspection to have 2 large heat sinks in such close proximity to the footwell.On a summer day the kids shoes have...

iT'S no good fixing the problem if you don't repair the cause so it will probably reoccur.I suggest a good check on the dual mass flywheel which is probablyshot.Cheers Grunty.

I'd change my stealer if I wuz U ! Crikey iz there no justice left innis werld !!

So am I to understand from responses that Ford and Bosch have got Landy owners where it hurts? Apart from the racket it makes when switching ignition on and off the damn things are always registering a fault! I can't believe that all are sitting back and accepting this rotten invention that is...

Still fighting that one lorryman! Maybe someone seeing this will help because the failure rate here in RSA is totally unacceptable.

Well now that I've removed the wretched device and cleaned a very coked intake system the motor runs as good as new and performs much better! Better emisions and performance makes it greener eh!! Gruntygrant.

Anyone removed that ridiculous EGR yet as the tdi 300, td4 and td5 removals have been so successfull ? Gruntygrant.

Hi guys,due to long roads and great distances to be covered we really need to have no limiter,so is there any one that has knowledge of this.Gruntygrant.

I am experiencing a weird shudder on acceleration from 60 up to about 80kph and then it seems to disappear at further speed.I found the transferbox oil burnt and a change seemed to improve it for awhile. Any ideas on a possible cause? Gruntygrant.

It's only done 137,00 kms and is a 2004 model! Very dissappointing but havefound another crank so am busy rebuilding, Cheers, Gruntygrant.

Bought a very nice low distance the other day that had a knock in the motor.I thought it was the flywheel so pulled the gearbox and horror of horrors! Dam crankshaft sheared at front of no 1 big end fillet! Spoke to agents and they claim to not have sold a new crank, so contacted BMW and...

Engine goes into limp mode pulling hard mainly on hills.Any ideas?

Wot about the new Puma's over heating here in RSA?Load on a hill and foot flat and it gives up the ghost.Appears to be no fix or are they just not interested in S.African problems?

So many crankshaft failures because of oil pump failures and new pumps not available.Are these foreign owners taking revenge ? 98,99 and 2000 models with no more than 180,000kms.

TD4 cankshaft broke on no1 b/e journal fillet.Engine still runs fine and all bearings could be re used Only covered 136,000kms.Wot the hell!!

Hey guys,maybe someone on this thread can help!In RSA were able to get a few new 300tdi defenders after the td5's.They are in the same chassis etc as td5 with all their advantages.I have been told that perhaps the reason these models perform so much better and are quieter is they were for...

Wot is the spec difference between the up to 2000 tdi 300 motor and the later ones as fitted to the Kalahari defender supplied to RSA for about 2 years?The performance,torque and smoothness are incredible and they seem to rev higher!:confused:
