i sorted it. got a second hand ecu (re configured it) and it fired up first time. i tried to reset my original ecu but it still wouldnt work. i decided to peek inside it and its clear to see the damage in there. looks too far gone to justify a repair on it. i can only think the shorting out...

an injector wiring loom has been ordered, should be here tomorrow, will fit that as a matter of course, start at the cheapest options, work upto the bigger money items, is is possible the ecu map has screwed up. i am considering rewriting it with a replacement. i did have the speakers shorting...

i have already cleaned up and tried to reset the fuel cut off switch in the engine bay. no joy with that. i left the battery disconnected for 24 hours today, but it still turns over but refuses to fire. what would stop the fuel getting to the piston stage. i have a nanocom coming to hopefully...

ok if there is no stop solanoid on a td5 what id preventing fuel getting to my engine. it gushes out of the fuel pressure gate. but it fails to fire up. i am close to taking the biggest hammer i have in my garage and giving my landy some pain. useless it is. anyone have a link to a test method...

*bump* additional information to my woes. my rear speakers were shorting out on the tub. is this a red herring for my troubles or has it blown something. i am currently out of idea of where to go or what to do next. anyone want to come round and help me push the damn thing up the driveway. i...

where is my td5 fuel stop solanoid located. a photo would be appreciated. no idea what it looks like, how big it is or where its located...i need to get a proper landy manual.! i cant even use the internet to find its location

lots of diesel in it, and it has a secure home. i removed a fuel pipe inlet on the fuel assembly and it flowed freely when the system was prime, so freely in fact i am now cleaning the drive up while i think of other things to try. i do notice the glow plug indicator only comes on sometimes, i...

td5 defender 2001. was all working fine. left on the drive for a week. got in started it up.it fired up but coughed and sputtlered for about 20 seconds. i started to reverse. stopped after 5 metres or so, went into neutral and it stalled / died / spluttered to a halt. now it will not fire up...

smoke or steam....is the first Q. smoke you choke,,,,steam you....well you just end up with soft supple skin...

the pendle three bike rack does handle two bikes just fine, even one bike on its own, no worries, maybe even take the full three bikes , so long as one is a childs. it needs a bit of work on the landy , you have to remove the towbar itself and fit a pendle supplied bracket/interface.(two bolts)...

i had identical troubles on a 2001 td5, looked at all sorts to fix it, hoses, waste gate stuck, wrong boost setting on waste gate rod, wiring harness contamination...the list went on, but i was due to fit an egr removal / blanking kit. from "td5 alive2 circa £46 i believe. check out his website...

my personal opinion is that the landy is for someone who likes to fettle with their vehicle once a month, there always seems to be something that needs looking at / fixing / modding, so if you dont mind getting your hands dirty now and again,then sure its a good buy....if you want something to...

thanks all for the tips, i am pretty sure i am there now, back to full power and it feels as though the engine is strong again now. not %100 sure what the fix was, because i did have alot of pipes and peripherals off when fitting the egr bypass. i had checked the pipes and connections prior in...

i have a pendle three bike rack but the reality is the rear spare does get in the way and it can only be used to take two bikes, i know pendle do add ons to make mine into a 4 biker(all the do is provide a londer outrigger. they do have a 4 bike rack which can be used as a three biker in the...

i am thinking of getting the td5alive ecu chip mod (stage 1) anyone had this done, is it a noticeable improvement on the stock ecu settings. anyone used the nano com software to "acquire a tweaked copied! ecu for educational purposes. i am not after a fancy ecu remap, just an improvement on the...

power loss update. checked the waste gate out and it was smooth in its operation. cleaned a few associated connectors up, even though it all looked fine. now this is the biggy, i had an EGR bypass/removal kit pending installation and i decided to fit that whilst it was laid up on the driveway...

ok...i peeked quickly at the waste gate linkage...too dark and cold to be properly playing around with it but i could get my hands to it...... should i be able to use my fingers to move this linkage freely. i was unable to move rod either way using decent sensible force. i have lubed it up for...

the harness renewal is my "maybe to do" list, but i am put off by the fact i ran it for 12 months with only a few power issues, which i had put down to me being paranoid. its the fact i can recreate the problem easily by hitting the gas in third, i would of thought a harness contamination would...

i am warming to the idea that the waste gate is sticking, its something that i havent looked at and would be consistent with it having sat in a garage forecourt for a while, plus its general neglect with stupid things when i bought it. i will try look at the W.G tonight and then have the run to...
