The oil in the red plug is very recent and its not too much for now. The symptoms have been there for quite some time now. And just to confirm, I do not have NRV? Whats the part number for the air bleed valve so I can order.

I would also like to add that I have tried waiting for about 20 seconds before starting for the air to purge but that doesn't really help either. It starts fine when warm and during the day.

How can one tell?? So it has no non return valve? Whats the part number for the air bleed? What about the black fuel in the old diesel filter? What could cause a longer crank?

I went through this whole thread and I am a little confused now. My defender was bought new in 2002, its a 2001 year and regularly serviced and looked after. It has been taking longer than usual crank and I hate that, it drives and idles fine otherwise. Having said that, I replaced all...

Bump...

I have been experiencing 2nd or 3rd crank starting lately specially in winters and this is long before the oil in the socket, the glow plugs are fine... could the injector washers be the reason? Changing oil and all filters has not fixed it.. my car is fine and quite well looked after. It...

Okay so after reading around I found that TD5s have two types of ecus ... The MSD and the NNN ones, out of curiosity I went out to check mine and what do I see... oil in the red socket. I bought the Defender new in 2002 and it now has 118k kms on the clock, I have always known that sooner or...

Lol... that was so long ago I couldn't remember. Thanks for bring it up though, after going through it I just realized I used the wrong oil in the T.case. I used a GL-5 sae-90 instead of a GL-4. I just drove it about 200 kms after the oil change... have I damaged anything?

Okay then I would like to use the Honda MTF... would anybody have more info on this oil? Would it be okay to use it? Some places say it is MTF 94 but I can't be sure of that. I don't want to go back to the ATF since I was never happy with the way it shifted. But if the Honda MTF is a no go then...

I recently replaced the gear oil in my Td5 R380 from ATFIID to GL-4 75w85 (GS Caltex Lubricants) I am aware that LR now recommends MTF94 but that is not available in my country. The shift is so much better and smoother with the GL-4, However just after replacing the oil I came across Honda MTF...

I got the steering box complete seal kit replaced on my TD5. The number you gave me was correct and my LHD defender has a similar steering box as a RHD 300 TDI Defender. The drop arm had a bad ball joint and was scratched in places so I thought I would replace it but LHD and RHD vehicles have...

Are you sure the part numbers STC 2847 and STC 3295 are valid for Left hand drive TD5 Defenders? I phoned a local LR parts dealer and he has both of them in stock which he shouldn't because he only deals in 200/300 TDI right hand drive vehicles parts??? You said TD5s and 300 TDIs have...

Noted! So that's all there is that might need replacing?

I will order this kit. And are there any other serviceable parts in the box that wear out gradually and need to be replaced? My steering is fine but I do have 115000 kms on the clock from new and I reckon this would be a good time to replace things in the steering which would fail in near...

Right Thanks... If you have access to the parts catalog, can you please give me part numbers of all the kits/parts that can cause this leak in a steering box? I will check price and availability in Dubai and get all of them if they are cheap so that I don't get any surprises when I actually...

Right thanks! I will get my mechanic to have a look at it just to make sure. Secondly, Do the 300TDI Defenders and the TD5s have the same steering box? Here in Pakistan we have RHD cars a Defender assembly plant for the military and the local market, we had the 300 TDIs till 2006 and the...

Right... is there any other place in the box from where oil can leak? The car is at my and I will have to go there to check but I'm sure its from the box. Secondly my Defender is Left hand drive so is the part number stc2848 valid for LHD vehicles too? Thanks.

So then I can use my existing uprights (bearing hub assemblies) on the disco axle? And what about the steering issue I have? Do I need a repair kit of some sort to fix that?

I know the diffs are the same... Are the axle the same as well or what??>

So is everything the same?? What about the bar calipers wheel bearing spacer and nut?
