Good morning. Yeah your right it is a td5. It was late when I posted this thread. the engine and box came from a 1996 discovery.

The TD5 speedo is driven via the ECU not directly off the speed sensor.

On a TD5 Defender, the speedometer is driven by a speed transducer on the transfer 'box (in the same place as the drive gear for a cable driven speedometer).

On a TD5 (or V8) Discovery II, the speedometer is driven by a speed signal from the SLABS ECU, which gets its input from the ABS sensors at the wheels.
