I'll nip outside and have a look in a jif. I'd always assumed it was 5 but I'm through with assuming *anything* from now on!

Nope! I have the reg doc in front of me and it's definitely 2.5.

Mine has the BMW engine, if that makes any difference. I've had a look in the Haynes manual, and from what I can gather, to determine whether it's chain or belt requires removal of the sump, the crankshaft pulley and the cylinder head - which makes no sense to me. I'm guessing I can only tell...

Yep, when I reconnect the battery the pump whines as normal for a few seconds.

Hi all, My previously faultlessly reliable Deffie just just conked out today for no apparent reason. I was descending a slight hill when it just died; no death rattle or other sinister noises involved. No warning; just suddenly stopped. So far I've only been able to carry out the most minimal...

Thanks! This is the kind of thing I'm looking for. Maybe a bit more digging would turn up a supplier with a keener price!

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a suitable source (pref. mail-order/ebay) for decent quality battery isolator switches? I want to avoid those nasty Chinese ones that run warm; I want a proper quality HD isolator suitable for a Deffie with a 2.5 diesel engine? cheers.

Yes, good suggestion. But why a clamp meter? We're not talking high currents here. If anyone knows what the normal quiescent current is for a TD5, then that would be useful to know. I can only think of the alarm/immobiliser that would remain live when all else is shut down, but 300mA seems very...

Hmmm. Not sure how easy it is to get to the alternator. I might actually check that last rather than first if it's a bitch to get at. But thanks for the tip; I hadn't considered that. I

Hi all, My 2003 TD5 is consuming 300mA when when everything is turned off. This level of quiescent current may not sound much, but if I leave the vehicle standing for a week or so, there's typically not enough grunt in the battery to spin the starter over. And this is a recent HD battery in...

Thank you, gentlemen. That should be enough to be getting on with for now!

Hi all, I've searched through all the threads with "clutch problem" in the title but to no avail - and there are a LOT of them! :-) The problem I am having is that my clutch pedal has recently become a bit sticky. It doesn't happen all the time but is becoming more frequent. Now, to describe...

Bloody line fault!!! Sorry, AF.

Might well work for the reasons you give, but that price is a real rip off.:eek: I've seen 'em on ebay for around 45 quid; exactly the same. Here's one by way of example but it's still too dear: Land Rover Series Steering Drop Arm Puller Tool 6000000 | eBay

Hi all, I got a letter from AF to remind me my policy expires at the end of this month. Like the mindless drone I am, I phoned the number provided, credit card in hand, to pay the renewal. That was 3 days ago, and despite calling that number over and over and over and over again at all times of...

Coda: Well, we tried one more puller, a heavy commercial one intended for use on coaches and trucks. I'd make up a clamp to prevent its legs from spreading under pressure and slipping off the lugs on the drop arm, since we'd had some problems with this during earlier efforts. Anyway, the clamp...

Bookmarked. Truly a prince among men, old Buster.

I'm not sure patience is such the desirable virtue it's made out to be. Impatient people tend to get the job done quicker!

Well done finding that! Buster's such a ledge, isn't he? Miles better than the Haynes manual.
