Engine Oil and filter, air filter change plus new rear brake pads fitted today. Then it got it's yearly oil bath, sprayed oil and diesel underneath and into as many nooks that I could find. I now look like a Junk yard dog.. covered in oil, but...

Try resetting the inertia trip solenoid on the bulkhead by pressing the rubber reset on the solenoid, mine would not start once and by resetting this it fired straight up.

Hi everyone, (1st post) having spent a few years benefiting from the wealth of knowledge and time other people give to the forum, i think I can give a little something back for a change. Just spent >8 hours trying to remove the oil filter (yes I...

I used a few layers of number plate adhesive pads. With packing as required.

What did I do today? Well started off investigating a headlight earth issue, found the connection at fault and now I have 2 fully working headlights on the 110! Then I binned the points/condenser and put in an electronic ignition kit, with a...

Mix it 1:4 with fresh diesel and run it in a tdi or any other old diesel! Mine is the same but last time they challenged my with a 25l drum of old oil, I continued emptying it while quoting and adding up the engine and gearbox quantities in the...

It would be great for someone who has a diesel heater, it would be great fuel.

Remove the 2 screws & replace the O ring… Yep I know how much diesel they loose as it’s happened to me. (Think I turned the o ring over to get me home) Nothing will fall out

Have a look at dieselinjectionpumps.co.uk Parts and information/diagrams available. I think that cover is for the pump advance mechanism, a spring/plunger is in there. Cover has a gasket or O ring to seal. I am no expert on diesel pumps but...

I watched a video on that not so long ago. There is some sort of mod you can do also if you feel inclined to do so. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183965760614 Think that is the kit, what it does I can't remember but apart from that it looks like...

Yes that looks like good fun. Watched two of the videos tonight. Would be interesting to know who previously owned it - clearly a character. Maybe it is in some of the other videos.

Try resetting the inertia cut off switch on bulkhead, press the rubber part to reset. Worth a try.

Is it stuck in low range. Try moving in and out of low range.

Just pop round local stables and ask, then you can choose which one has best access and muck, they’re glad to get rid, we even have a tipper transit deliver fresh once a week but prefer the well rotted which was available within 5 mile

I wish that load was on my allotment.

Old landies good for allotment , insurance £100yr

Especially when you need a 4x4 because of the potholes

I use it to potter down to my allotment, I may consider sorning over next winter but it will be a tight fit to keep it on my drive next to my XC90.

Just had my reminder in the post to renew my TD5 road tax, £415, shocking. Especially as it only does about 1 - 1.5k miles a year.

Auxiliary drive belt snapped on my TD5, then found the belt tensioner seized up, ordered new belt and tensioner, 30 minutes to find a socket to fit the recessed multi point star bolt in tensioner then just 5 minutes to remove and refit new...

Yes I use a garden spray, I took the spray head off and fitted a clear pipe after the valve, jobs a doddle now.

Turns out the replacement motor was faulty! I obtained a new new one and all is good (apart from the many hours wasted trying to sort out what was wrong!!!). Thanks anyway.

Try using the park switch from original motor on the new motor.

Here they are! good old Jeff Bezos...and his little website, only in blue but im sure you can work out how to ID pipes AFTER you have fitted clips....

They may have been a significant amount of coolant left in the block

So after many a dark night in the shed messing with my 90 iv managed to find the fault that had me tearing my hair out lol Started with no check engine or coil plus no prime, so checked the usual suspects, fuses, inertia wiring, ect Turns out I...

They can break off the pipes, when they forget to disconnect them, as the tank comes off... For the sake of £20, you can get a fuel pressure tester delivered in a week. Remove the temp sensor on the FPR, and screw it in. You should get 4 bar...

You can buy the socket to fit it from a landrover main dealer, last time I bought one it was £10, once you get the nut off bin it and put an ordinary wheel nut on, I replaced all mine with ordinary nuts, obtained on ebay. Those security nuts are...

Is your battery fully charged, it needs to be to get a TD5 started especially in this cold weather, Also try resetting the inertia switch under the bonnet, mine tripped once and engine would not start, I pressed the reset button and it fired...
