Thanks guys for the interest, I've sent matey a copy of this thread... I'll let you know if he decides to sell it up, and will pm you both his details if he does

Thanks for reply Frosty.... its not mine, although I was tempted, but too many projects already and not enough space!! Mate who owns it would need to get it welded up professional, he'd refit and paint I guess, but my question really is what would it fetch when done - roughly. My advise to him...

A pal of mine has recently asked me to have a look at his sadly deceased father-in-law's Disco. We originally planned to pull it out of the barn (hence me getting involved) he used to store her, but managed to drop a battery on and she fired up a treat.. He's in 2 minds whether to keep it or...

Welcome to the forum. Is it same as this https://www.expressandstar.com/news/crime/2019/08/30/brothers-deny-fraud-at-wolverhampton-garage/ I remember seeing a thread on here where somebody got fleeced in Wolverhampton.. lost the car IIRC. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Yes, less threads showing gives more boost. Also I got 110, decat, straight through middle box. Noise is just right for me, I take the family on hols in it too, and don’t think it’s that much extra noise, but I do love to hear the whistling turbo. I have got disco tb though which helps.

Yup, tighten til it stops then back off, some suggest backing off further though I stick with 1 1/4 turns.

If you have access to nanocom, then post a few plots... it won’t help with fuel pressure as there is no fuel pressure sensor, but you can see if it’s a boost issue - you might just be hitting overboost at high load.

That is strange, maybe somebody’s idea of a tuning by restricting the boost air to the wastegate. Maybe a good idea to drop a gauge in to check boost pressure, or do as is generally advised and shorten wastegate 1 turn every few days until boost limit is hit (as you’ve had before) then back off...

Hi, welcome to the forum. Sounds like you’re hitting overboost limit. Loads on here about it, but in summary the ecu will cut fuelling if the boost exceeds certain limit, or airflow for that matter. Boost is managed by wastegate on turbo. If you can drop a pressure gauge in great, or find...

Maltingsoffroad have Oem at about £220. Cheapest I could find.

Thanks.. I’ll give that a go then

I'm thinking my fuel pump HP stage may be shot, as car wont rev above 3000rpm, got 16psi of boost, good airflow, EGR delete, straight pipe & no CAT, no faults on nanocom, new FPR and filter and new Injector loom. I can get an OEM pump for a 90 at the right price, but will it fit my 110? I've...

I had same issue this year (with TD5), but I don't think that limit is correct though. I'd remove boost pin, but I don't think CAT will help as its just a smoke opacity test. Make sure its nice and hot when you take it for retest. I'd go for the injector cleaner in the tank and then an Italian...

Heard some bad noises from gearbox on way home. Scrawled underneath expecting the worse, but it was just a disintegrated front prop uj. . Prop off, trip to craddocks on way to work tomorrow... relieved.

Have you checked intercooler and hoses for leaks/ delamination? Cleaned MAP inside and out? If you’re not hitting the boost limit, try shortening the actuator rod a turn or too. Be good to get a gauge plumbed on the inlet manifold. I have opposite problem

have you checked wastegate adjustment? It could be that it’s not closing off, in fact is it operating freely? Could you monitor boost pressure?

Hi all. Glad to have registered after lurking for a couple months. I bought my first Landy a couple months back, a Bonatti Grey Defender DCPU Td5, and have kept myself well entertained doing what seems to be fairly usual stuff. So far, full service, EGR/CAT delete, injector loom replaced...

Clearly the sensible choice... my mates running a sweepstakes on how long I last with the 110, I still quite like it.

Thanks, but only 2 months into defender so the novelty of diving under it every spare hour not worn thin yet.

Thanks for invite, I’ll catch up with you some point smithy, but can’t see me escaping this weekend. Sure you’ll get this straightened out soon, I almost went for a d3... I know the missus would have preferred one.
