Hi, I am looking into swapping my Defender 2.5TD engine for a 300tdi from a 1998 Discovery (Full donor car) My Defender has a LT77 Gearbox, and the Discovery has a R380 gearbox. Is it possible to fit the Discovery 300TDI and R380 gearbox into the defender, or must I keep using the original LT77...

Ill get my hands dirty this week and fit the new seals, leaving the pump well alone. Do I need any other special tools to remove the regulator from the pump, other than torx bits?

My seal kit has arrived, I have a large seal which looks like it fits around the mounting bolts and smaller o rings. Do I use all these seals, and will it be obvious where they go once I remove the pressure regulator? Presumably I don’t need to remove the entire fuel pump to change the regulator...

Smashing, Thankyou. I have ordered the kit now. Do you know of any instructions to guide me? From what I see the starter and inlet manifold has to come off too?

I think I’ll start with the o ring, have been reading a few other posts and it’s solved the same symptoms as I have, Thankyou for that bit of knowledge! Next question is, can I find a step by step guide anywhere to do the job and is this what I want...

Hi Nodge68 - Sorry I didnt see your post. My sympotoms are poor starting in the morning, and when the car has stood for a while. When she does start she is rough for 5-10 seconds, clears, then drives very well. Do you think glow plugs could cause this? I have no glow light on the dash. I did a...

Not looked at the glow plugs as I was under the impression they don’t kick in until below 5 degrees on the td4? Guineafowl21: heard about this method, guess as long as I don’t release the clamp nuts too far I won’t end up with an injector embedded in my workshop roof, or bonnet lol!

Thankyou for the advice, I’ll make sure I give the car a run before hand to warm everything up. I have heard horror stories about td4 injector removal, which has made me slightly nervous about the procedure (even though I have removed injectors on other engines in the past) From the look of your...

My 05 Freelander TD4 is experiencing starting problems, suspected injector service required as she is over 110k. (Rear fuel pump already changed!) I know these injecectors can be a nightmare to remove, so my question is will this tool set work on the TD4 injectors, hopefully without destroying...

The injector pump seals are leaking on my 2.5 TD, we have identified the throttle shaft is worn and the o rings are perished. I am trying to source a repair kit, have spoken to Paddocks and John Craddock, neither of who could help me. Is there such a kit available? Ideally with replacement...
