    Sickly engine question

    Hello all - haven't been on in a long time because I haven't had any problems - until now! A recap - I run a London Taxi with the LR Defender 2.5 NA diesel (with Sherpa timing case). The engine was rebuilt by Turner Engineering about 18 months ago, and it has been running like a dream - even...

    World of weird! Injector problem!

    I am totally confused. Picked up cylinder head today from engineers - they cleaned it and sorted out thermostat housing sheared bolts - nothing more. I've just checked the new injectors I bought fit into the housings, and they don't - they won't slide over the shoulder where the two washers...

    How much does the motor weigh?

    Just another question. My Clarke engine stand that I bought has a maximum weight spec of 340 kilos. Does anyone have an idea of how much the complete engine weighs? That's block with all innards, cylinder head with inlet and outlet assembly, plus alternator and starter motor, but EXCLUDING...

    Installing new piston rings - any tips or tricks?

    Hello Landy peeps! Just a quick question. I have just received new piston rings from the UK, and will be installing them today. I have already cleaned the pistons and the ring grooves. I also have a ring compressor tool to hand. I recall when I removed the old rings how hard it was to...

    Sealant/Mastic/Silicon suggestions

    In Austria, we have a company called Wurth, which produce motor sealants for engines. I've noticed that a few of the normal gaskets were replaced by silicon, especially the big end where a "T shaped" cork gasket has been superceded by silicon. Can anyone suggest which sealants are suitable?

    Motor enamel

    I hope everyone had a good start to 2014! Stupid question - I've now cleaned my block ready for rebuilding - it's been checked and has no cracks, and the parts I ordered from LRDirect will be with me by the end of the week! I've attached a picture of the block, and would like to know if...

    Vavle spring question

    I'm looking at a parts list produced by Land Rover, and notice that in the diagram (and more importantly, in my cylinder head), I have 2 springs per valve - that is a smaller diameter spring sitting inside a larger spring. The part number in the LR parts list is ERR4640. When I check ANY...

    Part number list for 2.5d

    Does anyone have a link to a parts catalogue (with exploded view of the engine) they wish to share? Also, I see LRDirect have a good selection of parts at various prices - does anyone have any experience with this company? Land Rover Parts and Spares Direct

    Diesel strip and rebuild 2.5

    I've tried searching, but can't seem to find 2.5 strip and rebuild. I rebuilt my automatic gearbox back in May, so I'm not particularly worried about taking the work on. Is there a guide out there somewhere to this kind of standard? BW35 strip and rebuild in pictures | Rover P5 Club Forum
