99 td5, that's abt pretty much as good as it gets. if the vehicle has seen normal use, then you're ok. i've a 02 defender which doesn't leak oil. (oh yes, i've checked, there's oil the the boxes, no worries) hence the driveway is spotless.

the largest i've seen are 18" rims on a defender.

Assuming right hand drive. 1. chassis number is on the driver side front chassis leg. you need to scrub away some gunk before you can see it. 2. VIN number is on the passenger side, when you look thru the bottom of the windscreen. it's a silver plate stuck to the bulk head. 3. open the...

some of the land rover owners group in singapore are actually running bio-diesel on their Td5. 1. you immediately notice reduced black smoke to no black smoke. instantly passes the MoT smoke test. 2. you need to change your diesel filter after about 2 mths as bio-diesel acts as a cleaning...

read the website before, but i haven't seen any reviews on the product. looks pretty good to me. any idea of the price?

it's running fine now. seriously. i think the default values are better than the wrong values.

another hint, i've discovered oil in my air intake too. this actually screws up the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor & Inlet Air Temp (IAT) sensors causing loss of power. you can check by removing the Td5 cover on the engine block, locate the air hose from the intercooler, if there's...

you can buy one from scorpion racing. leagal or not, i won't know.

do you have a 265 tyre on the rim? the 265 barely clears the wipers if it's an original land rover wiper. if you have a non original wiper assembly, it's pushes the wiper arm further towards the tyre, so it will not clear. on 235 tyres they are fine, orignal or non original wipers. buy the...

LT77 gearbox? The new design ones are for R380 and LT230

careful with that large land rover logo on the mat. sometimes when you drag things over it, it (the load gets caught by the uneveness of the logo) can tear the mat. i used to have that very nice piece of mat on my SIII. Yes, they flop over the wheel arches and the benches or seats are...

From the workshop manual. The MAF sensor is located in the intake system between the air filter housing and the turbocharger. The ECM uses the information generated by the MAF sensor to control exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). The MAF sensor works on the hot film principal. The MAF sensor...

i only have the problem when parked overnite and on the first move off. so what i do is, either park head in and reverse out which i believe helps the oil in the gear box move OR move off in gear 1, ****f to neutral and then shift to gear 2. once that's done it's smooth shifting all the...

try disconnecting the MAF sensor. Mass Air Flow Sensor. it's located after the air box and going to the engine. I've this strange problem on mine and the dealership told me for 7500USD we can change your injectors and it will fix the problem. another workshop told me the fuel pump is weak...

your d90 should be a > 02 model. 02 and beyond if EU3 compliant have an electronic connector going to the EGR. by blanking off the EGR, you can get slightly greater power at the middle but at the expense of the enviroment. hence if yours was blanked off, the wires could have been...

in my series days i had to hold the key to the 'heat' position to energise the glow plugs for abt 12 sec in the morning before i could start the engine. this was totally a manual start but it was certaintly very reliable. in the td5 days (electronic start), i usually wait for 2 sec before the...

what's the boost on the turbo? it should be 1bar on a standard td5. when you 'overdrive' the turbo to over 1.2 bar, it starts to act up, which can sometimes cause the eratic behaviour.

there's another side to the story, some people say, after oil change, fill up to high mark, crank engine, check, top up till high mark again while running. this way the engine never runs low on oil unless it has a major leak.

for all you know, it's your air box which is not shut properly. When you drive the engin hard, it needs more air, so it sucks in more air. some idiot didn't close mine properly and i suddenly had a very interesting whistling sound which i thought was the turbo and 4 days later, i decided to...

i'd take the td5 over a tdi. it's a good engine, only if you treat it well. it's a lot more to mess with, but it will make you learn the stuff of drive by wire engines. but be very careful, stay away from one that has many modification. You won't know what has been done and tracing a fault can...
