If anyone can help. Td5 defender stalls. All lights on except glow plugs. Won’t fire up. Temp gauge rockets to max but not overheating. No oil on red plug ecu. Very recently changed crank sensor. Googled it and one suggest wiggle black plug on ecu, did this and it starts. Later cuts out again...

Thanks for the response . I am learning quick with Defender mechanics ... certainly theory so once I’m at the garage with use of the tools I can with them work through it. I have just had no experience before buying this car.... My main problem is finding some one with good experience and...

Thanks Bluedog It’s a shocking amount of oil in the water tank. It’s blown out every where. So far i have seen it in torch light so will look more in the morning. I have been googling oil coolers, location etc since hoping it will make more sense.

Hi all I’m no mechanic so what I saw today made me panic. I’m based in Middle East and have very little good support / local knowledge here for working on td5 defenders. I left my 2006 defender td5 for a month , returned today , topped up water a little , checked oil noticing it was a bit low...

Thanks guys for getting back to me. I'm going to order a new MAF, then in a month take it to Dubai. Its getting expensive with all the trial and error! The Dealer in Muscat does not explain very well, the figures 200,250,250,250 does not seem to mean anything when I search the internet and forums.

Hi all I have a 2006 TD5 Defender. Had a few lumpy starting issues on a cold engine plus a slight loss in power. I did the usual ,check for oil on loom ,fuel reg, filter change, Injector seals and washers. Unplugged the MAF and no real change (may have even run a bit better with it unplugged). I...
