    Electrical box placement (parking sensors)

    I usually ask ChatGPT, you don't have to listen but it often raises points I hadn't thought about. It's RHD actually, I was going to put it in with the fuses since there's lots of electricity and lots of space (TD5). I'd looked at the waterproof cable glands but I have eight 3mm cables to get...

    Electrical box placement (parking sensors)

    I've got a parking sensor kit I'd like to fit to the 110 as I'm occasionally required to do the school run in it and that can be a squeeze in the Mini. All the sensors feed back to a box which is basically the brain of the whole thing, this then has cables that come out to each of the 8 sensors...

    Discovery 1 Anti-Roll Bars on a Defender

    Okay, it took me far longer than I care to admit to realise that on the Defender the thicker ARBs are at the front and the thinner are at the back, which goes against all my understanding of ARBs and seems really odd considering that the back rolls more than the front. I spent an evening looking...

    Cant start - Fuel/air issues td5 110

    I had this problem after changing the pump and somehow the fuel pressure regulator was stuck open.

    Discovery 1 Anti-Roll Bars on a Defender

    A few years ago I saw some Discovery 1 ARBs on eBay for cheap and thought I was getting a cheap way of getting bars for my 110 TD5 given that the D1 was, as I understood, pretty much a Defender underneath. I've just got round to cleaning them up and bought all the fittings thinking they were...

    Part number for gasket between exhaust manifold and EGR pipe on TD5?

    I’ve seen that one before but I think the part number was for use with another part of the exhaust manifold/turbo. I’ve bought it and I’ll report back.

    Part number for gasket between exhaust manifold and EGR pipe on TD5?

    Does anyone know the part number for the gasket between the exhaust manifold and the EGR pipe on an early type TD5? I’ve searched around and it’s supposed to be some kind of crushed metal thing but I can’t find it on any diagrams and I see lots of similar looking types for sale but some are...

    TD5, symptoms of high fuel pressure

    It was from the JGS eBay store. It was actually listed as for a Discovery 2 but I checked online and it was said to be exactly the same. I recall the only difference is the plug for the water sensor on the bottom of the filter but already had one so I didn’t mind. I checked the Disco 2 diagrams...

    TD5, symptoms of high fuel pressure

    I don’t know what the actual original problem was but I found out my replacement fuel filter housing didn’t include the non-return valve so I’ve got one ordered. Hopefully there’s no more problems.

    TD5, symptoms of high fuel pressure

    I'm, bumping this old thread because I think it's what I'm supposed to do. It's the same issue but I've only just managed to return to it. In brief, I just replaced the pressure regulator valve thing in the fuel pressure regulator and it didn't make a difference. • The fuel pressure is...

    TD5, symptoms of high fuel pressure

    I replaced the fuel filter assembly. It’s in there isn’t it?

    TD5, symptoms of high fuel pressure

    The cylinder head was replaced a few years ago and I swapped all the injector seals and o-rings and I replaced the injector harness as well. I checked out the red ECU plug and there's nothing in there and I haven't seen an engine warning light but I've not plugged it in to check for codes. The...

    TD5, symptoms of high fuel pressure

    Mine's okay once it's warmed up and on a motorway but it's not starting well and and it's weak at lower revs and has poor throttle response.

    TD5, symptoms of high fuel pressure

    Bumping this because I finally got hold of a fuel pressure tester kit. I plugged it into the sensor and just ran the fuel pump rather than turning the engine on. Since I thought the fuel pressure regulator was stuck closed I was expecting the fuel pressure gauge to shoot up and go way beyond 4...

    TD5, symptoms of high fuel pressure

    Okay, I remembered I have an endoscope camera so I’m going to look at the fuel pump. I think looking at other things may just be wishful thinking, I’m probably just going to have to get to the fuel pump.
