whoever told you this is getting muddled up with the td5 and the newer tdci engines which are ford.
the td5 is a lr designed and built engine only no other stuff in it

Thanks for clearing that up The question was triggered by a guy who sells the oil and associated products for a cross section of vehicles.
He put my reg number in to the computer and it came up with an F on a code which he said it was a Ford engine
He told me that the engine requires 7.2 Litres of oil.
He then said that on another site the engine took 8.2 litres.
I was initially told that it was a BMW engine but I was also told that it was a rover engine design and reworked to suit the defender by somebody else.
I posted the question on the forum to see what response I would get from the knowledgeable folk in the congregation.
Thanks for the input

Both the quantities of oil you've quoted there are correct in these given circumstances:
Td5 engine refill and new filter 7.2 ltrs
Td5 engine from absolutely dry 8.2 ltrs.
These are the quantities given in RAVE, and as almost everyone else has said, the Td5 engine was designed and built by Land Rover, even though LR was owned by BMW at the time. Don't worry it's a misconception of many people (me included) in the past.
Location: Newport, South Wales (crap hole)
Location: zooport makes little britian seem posh!!
Location: Bridgend, Mid Glam. Somebody's got to live here.
And you were all moaning at someone taking the **** out of Wales... Doesn't sound like any of you are happy about where you live?!
