    TD5 Defender Traction Control DIY Switch

    I understand that there is a 12v+ source coming out from one side of the fuse socket and then live side going to the TC system. I still don't understand If I put a piggyback fuse there how I am rerouting the live wire back to the TC system if there is no place to connect. "Could loop it back...

    Death wobble and swivel pin preload.

    Nope, I have No I have not. I just watched a video on how to do it. I am thinking of ordering shims if I have to do this. I am guessing I would need them? Why does this happen? Is it because over time the shims compress and thin out?

    Death wobble and swivel pin preload.

    Okay so let me give now a real situation that happened yesterday. I was commuting on the my highway (motorway) and like mentioned before 80km/hr, every time, No issues. However, once I got to 85-87 I got a nasty wobble, on this particular part of the highway, to slow down is pretty dangerous...

    TD5 Defender Traction Control DIY Switch

    Thank you again! All understood and thank you for your patience’s. I am only confused on where to reroute the live wire after the switch if the piggyback fuse is there? If there is only an output wire, how do I reroute it back to the tc system? To make it stupid simple, could I use that...

    New transfer box needed! Surprise

    Try to rebuild it though, perhaps you can find a rebuild kit. Or possibly send it in for reconditioning, should be cheaper

    TD5 Defender Traction Control DIY Switch

    I am looking to install a Traction Control Switch? I have a Nanocom so not worried about clearing the fault when it's turned on. Looking to tap into the ABS+TC Fuse. Can anyone provide a step-by-step safe setup for this and parts I would need?

    Strange Start Up Noise - TD5

    Good news in my opinion. I find giving two cycles to prime the pump does make a difference

    Death wobble and swivel pin preload.

    I too have a death wobble but at very strange timing. I got my front tires replaced and balanced due to a snapped tire wire. I kept the tire that had a snapped wire on for about 6 months. Very hard to find defender tires where I am based. However, sorted out my steering wheel wobble. Before...

    Strange Start Up Noise - TD5

    Very Interesting, I was going to drop it at 200,000km to give it a flush. I will note this and check when I do so. It is a very aggressive overfill, as if the diesel is boiling in the tank. I was thinking maybe a piece of the snapped old breather hose may be blocking the valve. Not sure how...

    Strange Start Up Noise - TD5

    My fuel pump will overflow even when not fully filled when I fill the truck up, I did the breather hose 3 months ago. I heard of a one way pressure relief valve being in the fuel tank to let the tank breathe. I started it up a third time today no noise but now I have half a tank. Could it be...

    Strange Start Up Noise - TD5

    Thank you Brown, I appreciate the response. I started her up twice this morning, no noise, as if it was idling at operating temp. Glow plugs, I did do the plugs two months ago, beru. The connecters snapped so I put the pieces together and heat shrink them. I don't think a bad connection would...
