Mmmm sounds like i need to delve deeper :( I'll try taking all of the rods out and prodding about...

all of the rollers and balls were out at that stage. even so, the 1-2 and 3-4 rods were in neutral :) what could stop the thrust washer from sliding? is there anything that can come dislodged? many thanks, Callum

Hi all, Having a slight issue with a series 3 gearbox, seemingly suddenly cannot engage reverse, the lever was blocking reverse entirely, no noises or anything. i was able to get into reverse again then after a drive it's gone again! in the video you should see the assembly butting up against a...

I believe both solenoids are for the EGR, they need blanking off (you should have got rubber caps in the kit for this :)

it's a friend that has has the machine, what sort of parts are they? Callum

My defender is my daily :cool: I'll shift some of these first and do some discos and freelanders next :)

Mine, a TD5 stage 1 will out do most smaller cars, i've embarrassed a number of chavs before too!! the only thing that lets it down are the gear changes, you can't rush them. callum

ah yes, i've just seen them @ £150 haha I think i'll give the cheaper one a go first!

the one i can get on monday is by a company called HAAS, I'll look at genuine though, shouldn't be too much price difference (hopefully!)

went for a drive today with the maf plugged in, 'normal' performance, as expected. when I unplugged it there it was, a huge difference! so i'll order a new one from eurocar parts and collect on monday. am i right in thinking without the maf plugged in I'll be running on default values? so a...

unfortunately not, I saw you can rent them for a week from ebay, I might give that a go if its not the MAF

fuel and air filter changed recently, hoses look good from the outside, I will check them fully as i know they can delaminate. injector harness changed recently, will check wastegate tomorrow. I don't think the map is the issue as it was done by a very well known and reputable company, that...

Hello all, I'm looking for some advice, my 2004 TD5 defender has a slight issue i've been trying to pin down for a few weeks although the issue has been going for a while. simply put, the engine starts, runs, drives etc. perfectly, I would never assume anything was wrong, it pulls well. it...

sounds good, the spacer in-between the bearings, should that give the correct preload or can you buy different sizes?

well damn! I brought AP Lockheed callipers from brook wells along with EBC spot drilled and grooved discs, all seals are OEM. I know what you mean, callipers are so simple can't go too far wrong. I just thought sod it, i'll wait for the bank account to recover before looking i reckon!

thank you, i'll take lots of photos and do a post. being a TD5 I'm not sure if I've got the single nut hubs or the older two nuts and a locking tab washer between them? it's quite good fun (until i look at my bank account!) making sure I've got everything i need, as it's my daily I've got to...

I've just looked on Brookwells and they have callipers made by 'AP' I would assume this is AP Lockheed, they are £97 each. I'm going to contact them to make sure, unless anyone knows on here? many thanks, Callum
