Hi,
New to the world of Defenders, and have a question or two for you experienced folk about my 2003 TD5
1) Vehicle pulls well enough, but top end speed seems low. Feels like its struggling at 65-70. On the way home tonight the fuel light came on. It seemed to transform it and it was much revier. Is there a seperate pump for a reserve tank or anything? wonder if it is lacking fuel at higher revs, and thats whats limiting it a bit.
Or am I just clutching at straws here?
2) Oil leak (ok, i know they all leak according to my friends) It appears to be coming from the front top of the engine on the left side, out of an electrical plug, then running down a braided/crimped pipe towards altenator, then below that it goes everywhere and is on the front of the diff.
Although I have these teething problems, still love it and after wanting one for so long i want to get this one sorted and enjoy it.
Thanks all.
