cheers for the reply to late by the way. leg

The Right hand Intercooler hose was a pain to get on and wouldn't budge any further than half way up the pipe. do you mean Rad hoses too?

oh yes. As you will know its all a very tight fit in the engine bay around the rad intercooler area, especially with a big performance intercooler. so there was a bit of bending a forcing of the intercooler hoses.

Hi, Please could someone assist; I just replaced my Radiator and Intercooler all with new silicone hoses. After topping up the coolant today I took it for a drive and when I started to accelerate past 40mph mark roughly, Id get a very loud whooshing noise from the engine bay. sounds a bit...

Cheers for your replies! turns out it was the front Prop shafts Rear UJ that had gone and needed replacing. Took it into a Landy specialist and got it done. Cheers

update* It's more of a squeaking and scraping noise and only occurs when moving off as in when applying pressure to the accelerator pedal. once firm pressure is applied fully with increase in speed the noise goes away. When in traffic it happens, sometimes it can be really faint and not too...

hi all, Last night i noticed a funny noise when first moving off with pressing the acceleration pedal and releasing it, there is a funny like rattling noise coming from what sounds like behind where the pedals are... at first I thought it was my clutch as I need to replace the master and slave...

Hi everyone, This may not be the right place to put this, but hope it is... I am in need of a pair of Van sides for my Defender 90. I currently have Masai windows in mine, fitted myself. The problem is I have a few bad spots of Aluminium Corrosion or Electrolyte corrosion or whatever. I have...

Yes I suspect he should have done. would it be worth blocking the EGR then?. Erm. I noticed today actually. in idle. revving fully some black smoke will come out but nothing until very hard down on the right pedal. abnormal???. nothing comes out whilst moving however.

Flat - yeah I plan to Check over everything! Really want a smooth ride on the motorway, thanks for your help Banka5152 - oh that's also good to know!, sticking that on the list!

ozzyboydeano - I know now in heinsight that it looks bad that I got it mapped with rad / IC issues. it was really just a shot in the dark at trying to resolve the lack of performance at high revs. Like i have said I am no expert but through reading through threads and researching I'm now leaning...

Not too bad, Okay well I will look into prices for performance IC and then make a decision based on that!. Just a quick question. when I turned the wastage a few turns recently (advised by the tuning company) I noticed my fuel needle was literally moving towards the red constantly, it seemed to...

Banks5152 - That would be great if you could find out the postage over the weekend. I do actually have a lot of family in Kent. Seven Oaks area. Was the intercooler one you took off your 90? how old is it if you don't mind me asking?. I looked through your thread of your work on your 90...

Glad you agree about inter cooler. The radiator is actually just as bad!. What do you suggest? A larger performance once or a standard one? Will the standard one allow me to (if I address all the other possible issues) allow me to drive smoothly past 65 / 70??. If so, how much would postage...

Right so I have attached two images that i quickly took showing you why I refer to the radiator and inter cooler as ****ty. They undoubtably need replacing soon but I want your opinions of whether this could be causing me the issues. I drove to work and noticed that actually in every gear once...

Okay so I will remove this, what am i checking for exactly? and what will issues be causing?. Ah ha, I actually replaced the injector harness back in summer only a few weeks after buying the vehicle. Did it myself and all went well, I was still cleaning the Reg plug occasionally but looked the...

Marmaduke - When the company did the remap I think to test the drive afterwards he literally took it for a spin. The road he went down (the one I walked down to get lunch) had a top speed of 50mph so I doubt he would have experienced what its like up at 65-70mph. I will try what you said and...

The Re-Map did improve the engine running significantly. It made it very smooth and quieter through all the gears not to mention to huge increase in torque and acceleration. I had the vehicle fully serviced just 3 weeks ago. It was in no sense a waste of money. I think the issue causing the...

Im not sure, it was all very quick really. I drove 2 hours to get there then I went off for lunch pretty much s soon as I got there. I didn't explain anything about the current performance of the car to the man. What would this show? please excuse my ignorance.

Hi there, I'm new to the Forum. I have a Defender 90 TD5 that I got Remapped last week. Great performance now. However, before the remap I had Issues getting past 60mph without the engine getting very loud and everything vibrating like crazy through the pedals etc. I was hoping that the...
