Yes TD5 does have a fuel cooler on fuel return flow.

The ECU will default to a setting that will be ok to drive.

Poor/loose fob battery connection maybe.

Try slackening the hinge bolts on the bonnet and lining it up the re-tighten the bolts.

You should be ok, I have found this in the MOT manual. Says from 2018 and when engine turned off not lights. But side lights and your DLR lights will stay on when engine turned off if left on. You only need to inspect daytime running lamps (DRLs) if they’re fitted as original equipment to...

I "think" daylight running lights have to turn off or dim when headlights are turned on to be MOT compliant, therefor a relay would be required to drop out the power to the running lights when headlights are turned on.

Or use zip tie. Some rubber gaiters come with zip tie retainers.

Relay 4 under fuse box, 4th from left.

My TD5 does a brake panel light check, I have just tried it with the hand brake off and turning ignition on the light comes on for a couple of seconds the goes off, with hand brake on it stays on until brake lever released. A different vehicle I know but it may work the same way.

My understanding of the fuel system is the pump runs continuously and fuel pressure is controlled by the fuel. Pressure regulator and excess fuel spills back to the tank after going through the fuel cooler.

Put mine in for MOT today and it passed with no advisories, MOT inspector said it was in great condition and a well sorted Defender, happy days.

Had my Defender air-con re-gassed, oh what a relief, it was so hot and unpleasant to drive in this heat and now back to a icy cool interior as well as driving an all time cool vehicle.

Definitely not right, sounds as though you are stuck in low range or your clutch is slipping badly. A comfortable cruising speed on my TD5 is 60 and can easily exceed 80mph with standard gearing set up. (allegedly as I would never exceed 70)

If you did not follow the correct procedure changing the battery the vehicle will be immobilised and the key fobs will require resynchronising. Battery removal and replacement Your vehicle may be fitted with a battery backed-up sounder, which operates as an anti-theft siren if the main battery...

The dipstick does have a black plastic tip on the very end of it. Early TD5's had a reputation for oil pump bolt unscrewing and causing engine failure, there was a mod that was carried out to stop this on later models and modified bolt available for DIY use, (thread lock on threads). Link to...

Show us a photo of it.

I did mine and found it an easy DIY job, it makes the job easier if you have an insert tool like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254219282069 I used one of my wife's kitchen utensils because I am too tight to by one.

Just take the relay into any auto shop and ask if they have one, they should be able to supply you with one off the shelf.
