    Low range linkage broken

    Sorry to revive an old thread but this issue has just happened to my Dad's Td5 90. Basically the Clevis pin has lost it retaining clip and it started to work its way out. This resulted in us be in stuck in low range as the pin jammed against the t box casing until we could wriggle it back in...

    Friction modifier for TD5 R380 gearbox?

    Just my humble opinion but I have had great results with ZX1. Put into the engine and all parts of the drivetrain it makes the defender TD5 much smoother. I've also put some into the swivels to mix in with the grease. In the gearbox and transfer box it has made a big difference with the changes...

    Possibly controversial here but a loaded up defender plus a trailer really needs more than 110-130 bhp to mix with modern traffic. The tdi engines were great in their day but are old hat now and even tuned up only really give 130bhp. A td5 as standard is no better really at 122 horses but they...

I am trying to convince my father that he no longer wants his defender and that he wants to give it to me (after he does all the upgrades) but...

    Bulkhead swap AND engine transplant?

    The highly tuned TD5 from twisted would be a revelation compared to the 200 lump you currently have. I know that they have a test mule putting out around 250 bhp so the performance would be better than even a 4.6thor engine. Only real snag I can see is you will need to install the ecu which I...

    Hot legs!!!

    I had found that on the motorway there was hot air coming in under the seatbox. I then did a full oil change (engine, gearbox, t case and axles) and I put Activ8 in all of them. The difference was unbelievable! Plus better fuel economy! You may want to change the fluids?
