So it’s all looking good with the new engine, sounding sweet as a nut, but and there is always a but, I have one final issue, the power steering fluid… Was at it for a good while last night and only seemed to get some into it, is there a system for doing it? I poured it in, turned the wheels...

It lives :D.

It sure is, thanks for your help, much appreciated, couldn't see it last night at all! Will fire her up this evening and see what happens...

Image in the below link, just been looking around the web and think it could be the alternator multi plug? Couldn't see anything last night, was working in the dark. The inlet manifold is in the top of the picture. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/43/32699589.jpg/

So the engine transplant is complete and everything is hooked up... but and here comes a stupid question - I have a sensor I can't for the life of me find where it goes! So where it is, when you’re facing the four heater plugs, look at the two on your right, follow the connections back to the...

Thanks for that, the warranty is long gone, I was still in school when it was bought by the first owner and thats a long time ago now! Have the engine out so will be getting stuck into the donar tonight.

So the saga continues, I have found a good engine from a well know source at a reasonable price so I'm going to put a new engine in which will work out less then a new head. Managed to also pick up an ECU that is chipped so that should increase the fun, old engine will be out tonight. I have...

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated, I have spoken to the people in Turners and they are very helpfull I must say - so its looking like a new cylinder head is the best way to go. Will I have to get the ECU re mapped if I put a new cylinder head on?

So the head is gone.... All the coolant out and engine over heating, got her home just about. So the head is going to come off but I have a few questions... Much thanks in advance! Can I skim it? I have heard you can if its not warped and just fit a thicker gasket, I would prefer this option...

Thanks for all the feed back, much appreciated! To be honest for the moment I would just like to replace the filter and look at blanking the EGR at another stage. Had a look on-line and the filter is only £3 or so. Can I just pop out the existing one and pop the new one in or is there a process...

Spot on there mate thats her! So can I just stick a new one in?

Cheers lads, yep thats her alright thing is full of crud, is it a hard job to fit? Looks like off and another on, but then I could be wrong, it has happened before:D

Hey Guys, Real stoopid question here but was inspecting under the hood and came across a small filter in the engine bay of my defender. It looks like its a fuel filter of some type but is quite small. Its in the front on the drivers side and is see through. I know the actual fuel filter is on...

So the fuel pump is in and sounding great and the noise in the coolant bottle has gone away, possibly just some air? Will leave it for a while and see, going to flush the coolant and stick a new fuel filter in:rolleyes:

Thanks for the reply, will try let air out first then get the pressure tested, once the fuel pump is in of course, will let you know how I get on!

Here she is!

Hi there, My second post:). I have a 1999 defender which has been having some issues of late. I have been noticing that every time I stop and turn the engine off I can hear bubbles in the coolant bottle, when I say bubbles imagine the sound of a hose under water. Like as if air is coming up...

Hi, my first post, I have a TD5 Defender, thanks!
