Does anyone know of a specialist that would be able to recondition a 200tdi fuel injection pump to a high standard around the heathrow area? Ours is playing up a bit at the moment, it has been re done before but the job was a total disaster had fuel spraying in every direction twice and got it...

So I've been told a lot that being in certain areas affects your insurance premium. So i live in London (right next to heathrow) if I was to insure a 2008tdci 90 vanel van would it be more expensive as a pose to living somewhere like Wiltshire or Cornwall ? Just getting an idea as to how...

So I get into a 200tdi and the gearbox is absolutely spot on, changes perfect and no dodgy clunks on any changes at all. I then get into a 2008 tdci and the gearbox seems to be atrocious, clunks from 1st to second, tough to get the right gears and always takes a while to get from one gear to...

Hi guys, done a similar post a few weeks ago but didn't gather the info/research I required, I'm after finding out which engine you prefer for on the road in daily use around town and on some long journeys. So if you don't mind could you state which engine you prefer with a reason. Kind...

Unfortunately im still in the process of selling my mini and buying a landy but i've come to a slight issue. I had a drive of a Td5 110 the other day and then drove my dads Tdci and it kind of made me want a Tdci for the better road driving. Seems to be my choices are either a late Td5...

Hi all, had a search around to see what cruising speed people feel comfortable with in their td5 defenders. I'm looking to buy one but am worried when doing motorway journeys it will be screaming its nuts off. So what kind of cruising speeds/rpm are people getting from their td5 defenders? Also...

So I'm buying a land rover defender 90 station wagon but I'm stuck between a 300tdi and a td5 obviously the td5 is a new vehicle therefore has a higher spec and will be more rust free but I have heard some nasty reliability stories. On the other hand a 300tdi I renound for its reliability which...

So I've heard a few bad rumours about the td5 engines. What's your verdict on the engine and have you had any bad experiences with them ? I'm after buying a td5 and I'm just looking for common problems with the engine so I know what to look out for. Also what are they like when they're tuned ...

May not be the appropriate location for this thread but I was unsure where to post it. So the disco 1 has a various choice of configurations. We got the 200/300tdi auto/manual and the v8 auto/manual. Any idea what it would cost to run a v8 on LPG and what configuration would be best suited...

I know there are loads of threads about young land rover drivers and insurance but none of them seem to be insuring td5's ? I'm not 17 yet but I have a 1982 1340 austin mini as a first car at the moment. However I've been bought up around land rovers and I'm starting to like the idea of selling...

Just thought I better introduce myself to the land rover forum, I'm not far off taking my driving test now, my dad owns a 1992 land rover defender 200tdi that I will be using as a run around with various off-road modifications and a couple of performance upgrades. I have been brought up with...

hi, I know there are many threads on this already but none seemed to answer my question. I am 17 in a couple of months and my dad bought this land rover defender 90 200tdi panel van from new in 1992, we live on the very edge of the low emission zone and as i will be using the land rover as a...
