    I don't believe it will. Maybe I'm wrong I would need to look again.

    Silicone hose kit. Disco eng in Defender

    I'm after a silicone hose kit for my mates defender. However it has a disco 200tdi in it so the lay of the turbo is different. Does anyone know of a supplier of this kit?

    200tdi struggle to start & wont rev

    Thanks guys, that confirms what I said to him. He's complained its low on power since he got it. But He's never serviced it. Filters first.

    200tdi struggle to start & wont rev

    My Mates 200tdi starts but cuts out immediately unless the throttle is pressed. Once running it ticks over (maybe a bit rough but not serious) but when you rev it - it doesn't reach its full potential. Any thoughts? I'm thinking fuel - filter maybe lift pump?

    Fuel pump

    The big white sender unit you removed - were the fuel pipes connected to this? Normally the big white sender unit is both pump and fuel level all in one. If your fuel pipes weren't connected to this then you don't have standard landrover gear.

    TD5 Glow Plugs

    I recently changed plugs as I had a spare set. A long reach 10mm socket, short extension and a ratchet. Be handy if you had a short ratchet as its a bit awkward. The 1/8th of a turn and you've ran out of room. I have had another post, turns out my fuel pump wasn't running as it should. Sounds...

    TD5 fuel pump

    FIred the engine up last night, took a few turns, enough to raise an eyebrow but not enough to think she won't start. 1 bar of pressure. Cut the hatch, easyenough to cut a hole but a bit of barsteward to remove the section of floor support. Anyway all done, time to make a cover...

    TD5 fuel pump

    Thanks Sierrafery Its a bit of a hassle to strips my mates disco to plug in the fuel gauge. So I may just swap the fuel pump. Just our of interest, what is the wee pipe on the side of the FPR, is it a spill pipe or should it be connected to a vacuum? FOUND THE ANSWER FPR WORKS ON...

    TD5 fuel pump

    So does the low pressure go through the filter and then return into the pump for the HP pump? That makes sense at the filter. I need to check my gauge on something else. I did connect it at the inlet to the fpr for HP. But I only get 1bar and the car is running.

    Viscous fan cuts in too soon

    Is it possible to replace parts of the viscous fan or is it only the complete unit available?

    TD5 fuel pump

    Not quite following you here. Does Fuel come out of the filter and clips into FPR, from there it runs around the engine, back out the FPR (a screw in fitting) in to fuel cooler before returning to the filter??? I removed the pipe from the filter to the fpr an inserted my gauge inline at...

    TD5 fuel pump

    This has all come about as now its winter the car has died. She did the same last winter, but has been great through the summer. I have an inline pressure gauge made with a spare FPR pipe. So I clipped it in the flow to the engine before the filter, after the filter and then (at the other...

    TD5 fuel pump

    My 110 isn't starting. I plugged my fuel pressure gauge in and its getting 20psi (just over 1 bar) as soon as the pump stops running the pressure drops to zero. I then placed the gauge inline before the filter housing same readings. Clamp the hose on the outlet from the pump, still same...

    Viscous fan cuts in too soon

    And what is the correct temp. for the td5 to run at? I run mine without a fan only because I haven't got round to replacing it. Has anybody got the wiring diagram for the electric fan. I could fit a relay and my owner power supply, but if half of it is present ...

    Disco power steering

    Its now complete. Myrtle now has a disco 300tdi with a 5 speed lt77. So far so good. Great of road. P38 steering box bolts to the outside of the chassis leg, and using the P38uj, connect to a defender steering column. The one with a bolted joint not the rubber joint. I was then able to cut...

    Fault codes

    Pump is running. I need to drag the car to work and stick it in the big shed. I have a fuel pressure gauge made up using the old pipes from a fuel regulator. So I can plug it inline and check the pressures. Seems a coincidence it reoccurs when wet?

    TD5 wont start!

    I stand corrected to some degree. I do recall this.;)

    Please helpppp????

    It could be your turbo pipes are delaminating. Thus the pipe is crushing and restricting airflow.

    td5 cranking but not starting

    Common problems: 1. Injectors have copper washers and O-rings. These are known to fail. Cheap to buy - get genuine parts. A slide hammer makes the job easier or make a lever out of an old allen key. 2. Could be Injector loom. About £30. Easily done whilst rocker cover is off. 3. In the fuel...

    Loom replacment

    My td5 110 has also died (again). That was nearly 5 months of reliable motoring, and the only thing I can think of is the weather has gone wet. Bearing in mind my ecu died of water ingress, im thinking the loom is at fault. Diagnostics all test ok, egr is only fault, crank sensor is reading...
