It was by an independent guy, who works around the South Lincolnshire, Cambs, Norfolk area. He's ex an LR technician having decided to work self employed. It cost £40 each visit to come to my home. Two visits one to diagnose then another £40 to reprogramme the new ECU. The unnecessary...

Get someone with the Testbook software to read the ECU - they can tell you what faults are recorded plus the security code is logged in the ECU. There's some procedure that allows you to overide the immobiliser if you lock/unlock door in the right sequence starter for 10 here...

A few weeks ago my '99 110 CSW td5 started running rough It'd clear after running a bleed cycle so I replaced the injector washers & O Rings fine & dandy for 2 weeks. Then... refused to start at all, despite bleed cycle so I did the following... #1. replaced the fuel filter = no better...

I'm planning to convert my td5 110 CSW to auto. Having priced up breaker parts vs. Ashcroft kit I've bought a write off Disco2 TD5 Auto as the donor vehicle. To manage the costs the plan is overhaul the box & fit the larger suffix 24 clutch plates exchange purchase the Ashcroft large torque...

Found the same problem on my Defender 70k miles; absolutely clogged with black jelly like cack. Even after changing the air sepaerator in the filte rhousing the diesel looked like fizzy pop [run it into a jug] When the jelly stuff dried out looked like fine soil particles. Removed a load...

When the warning light on my 110 csw comes on = 60 litres to fill up the tank

That's a nice summary of both the question and the answer :D

You say that you've replaced the injector loom assuming that this was to try and cure the problem you may find that an injector starting to fail.

Busy with work m8 - been looking - mainly laughing! but today I thought I'd post before I went down for dinner

The mushroom ones are designed to act like a cyclone and spit out the larger bits of dust in the air so that you can drive in dusty conditions for longer without having to clean the standard air filter. The others only raise the air intake.

If you get pulled over by VOSA they'll nick you for either red deisel or veg oil - :( red is @ 26p/l atm vs 50p/l veg oil - probability of being stopped is the same, so financially red would be the best option

perhaps worth washing the rad again - when mud dries it a good insulator while youve got the hose out give the alternator a good rinse too otherwise teh mud will wear it out prematurely

:) Been busy with work & it being summer been out camping caravanning and all that sort of thing. - off work now for a few weeks following a spinal op - but can't sit for more than 10 minutes!!! I'll keep popping in but no idea as to what time of day or frequency:)

My '99 td5 with Mud terrain tyres & roof rack = 27mpg at last reckoning. I have no overdrive or transfer box mods and don't drive conservatively

get them to check the postion & fastness of the pick up on the accelerator switch - the whole thing is a big potentiometer so they should also be able to check that the resistance values are correct.... The ECU has a different map when in low range - again get them to check that the transfer...

Not sure if they're a "must have" - unless you're entering extreme competitions, and then you'll need a winch etc etc etc. I believe that they cost around £500 - £800 per axle.

Powerwash, then powerwash again. Check all the ledges especially in the wheel arches as the mud likes to hang up in there. in essence get rid of the mud first. Any heavily rusted chasis/steel parts would benefit from wire brushing and acid washing to kill the rust - waxoyl claim that their...

60mpg :eek: - I chose a Golf plus tdi and get 48mpg - s'pose that as I don't pick up the repair/running costs [other than fuel] may have a bearing on my mechanical sympathy and right foot, 400 plus mile return journeys don't add to my sense of leisure either especially when returning in time to...
