To be honest mate I dont know, but the garage a pretty insistent that its that as it has the symptoms of a td5 that needed injectors they sorted a while ago. Im going to hire a nanocom (£40 from ebay) so that I can do a better fault code check just in case its something else.

Thanks fo the advice Discodevon - the TD5 is a dec 1999 with 85k miles. Ive changed the crank position sensor and the injector wiring harness and cleaned out the ECU connectors (there was a tiny bit of oil in there) and there is no difference or improvement. If she is left overnight she will...

Thanks for the comments. Yeah I get that the fuel pump maybe ok if its noisy but it just doesnt feel right - but im going to leave it on anyway. I managed to connect up the PSCAN yesterday and it says that amongst other things "high speed crank sync lost" so Im going to change the crank...

Yeah Ill check both of these things. Regarding the air in the system I do think that this may be an issue, as I changed the fuel filter housing and as my fuel pump was noisy I bit the bullet and put on a genuine one. However that was screaming so sent it back and was found to be faulty so I just...

Hi Everyone I have to be honest and I'm a wee bit low today...Landy has certainly been testing my mental health! I've worked on her constantly since I got her (2000 TD5 90) about 5-6 years ago. Pretty much a total rebuild initially and then a rolling restoration over this time. Last month she...

Thanks mate - dod this cure it?

Well I replaced the fuel lines from the fuel filter to the pump and surprose surprise the noise is still there. The only thing left to look at is the engine side of the fuel system. I replaced the Fuel Pressure Regulator a couple of years ago and doesnt leak and there is no dip in performance...

Hi everyone My noisy TD5 fuel pump mystery continues. I know its not the pump (Ive replaced it 3 times including a VDO one) - the new one is quiet for 24 hours then goes noisy again. Ive replaced the fuel filter and checked the air bleed filter (the fuel filter housing was replaced a month or...

Right - after much more research and deliberation I reckon the all the issues have come since I replaced the fuel filter housing a month or so ago. The connectors were a real pain to get off and I wonder if one or more of them are now damaged. They dont leak but you can pull them off without...

The saga continues. The VDO fuel pump was confirmed to be faulty and I got my money back. I fitted an after market fuel pump that was quiet for 2 days and then got loud. The fuel line marked number 8 on the fuel system diagram HP Feed Connection from pump direct to the Fuel Pressure Regulator...

Quick update - I fitted a new pump (not a VDO one) on the recommendation of the garage and its now as quiet as it should be - definately a faulty VDO - disappointing considering the cost. I'm going to now have to submit a warrantly claim etc so thats a pain but better than sounding like a jet.

I tried to upload a mp4 file but no joy so did a zip thing. Just a note the area around the pump looks damp but its not, its where i cleaned it.

Good morning A few years ago I bought Landy (2000 TD5 90 Defender) and then spent about 18 months renovating and doing replacing parts as and when they needed. Over the last year I have started to work on the stuff that isn't necessarily urgent but more a good to do. Amongst other things I...

thanks for the advice

Hi Everyone My TD5 90 was leaking diesel from the rear of the engine this week and so had a look thinking it was the fuel pressure regulator that I replaced last year but unfortunately it wasnt (would have been under guarantee and an easy swap out). Unfortunately the fuel line that goes back to...

Perfect thanks mate - Ill order the Hardy Spicer tomorrow

Good morning all I'm just prepping for my MOT in a month or so and need to replace both front and rear propshafts on my TD5 Defender 90. I use Landy pretty much every day but only for on road driving. I just want a straight replacement and most suppliers stock the Britpart shafts. My only...

Thanks for the replies guys - Ive pretty much done all of the renovation on my Landy myself but the company insist on having the box fitted by a garage - it was done by my local independant and hes also my mate so when they changed it I also got a new drop arm and pipes and chassis bolts etc...

Thanks mate but I think they are going to replace it - just not pay the labour! Cheers anyway tho

Hi everyone my Defender td5 steering box was leaking in February this year and I needed to replace it for my MOT. I did some research and went to We Are Diffs in Birmingham. As part of the warranty I got my local independent garage to fit it. It has started to leak from the front of the box...
