A td5 only needs the crank signal to start. Manual or auto? If its manual can you bump start it /tow start it and see if it fires straight away....then fit a starter motor If its auto.......fit a starter motor anyway.... its interference from the starter corrupting the crank signal. :) Your...

I don't think they fit a 200tdi. I could be wrong. This is how I see it... the mpi and 200tdi have the same resistance and work the same gauge but are different sizes/threads the mpi and 300tdi are the same size/threads but different resistance so a 300tdi one will only work a 300tdi gauge...

MPI temp senders fit a 300tdi and work with the older landrover temp gauges. It would seem they can no longer be found :)

keep the temp sender from the MPi :)

By key working I mean the fob bit...the buttons. Do you have more than 1 key? do the keys have power in the batteries? If its been fob locked the alarm/ immobilizer are armed and they stay armed until you unlock with the fob no matter what you do....the EKA will override it but the clue there...

assuming the key is working....the rf receiver above the headlining.

disco ones fit :)

thats how it used to work in the old days....without the disconnect and fuse bit. :) Ive seen it with a wire under the bonnet....opne the bonnet...hold wire on batter + for a while or until it gets to hot....start the engine. Thats maybe a bit rough bit it will work if it had to :)

ok next tip....too late but never mind. use the bolts to hammer it out. Slacken the 4 hub retaining bolts maybe a few mm out and use a hammer to knock the bolts and the hub out...hit one bolt then the next bolt working round and round or at least diagonally to each other ....then screw the...

Expanding....houses going up everywhere!!!

Yes.....the shaft wont come out until the hub and bearing are off anyway... ....just leave it all bolted together and pull the lot out. Not that id bother with the o rings...if they are not split...a wee smear of silicon round the hub and fire it back in.

why you taking the hub nut off? remove the 4 bolts at the back and take the hub shaft everything in one go. out a couple of inches at each side ...swap the diff and push the lot back in.

I know the place that MOT'd it so will ask if they bodged it and see if they know what was wrong. Think I'll fix it....probably easier than trying to unbolt the bars of of 2 of them and fitting normal bars on this one....a wee hose or 2 sounds easier :) Though I just offered it to a guy for a...

Aye Id guess its a leak...doesn't look like the pump was removed that long ago...the belt looks new. Id have the parts to go either way if I had to ....but its work!!! If the ACE roll bars locked when not being used then Id just leave it like that. :) It might be worth a fix as it has a...

Just picked up a D2 TD5 Ace pump has been removed but the rest of the ACE system is still there.... If the ACE bars are still there but there is no pump what happens? are the bars locked so effectively making them normal roll bars or are the not looked effectively meaning there is no anti...

I've fitted a 3.9 cam to a 3.5 but couldn't tell you if it was an improvement over a 3.5 cam....the fact it ran on 8 cylinders instead of 6 and 1/2 with the new can fitted made it great :)

I dont know about temps but Ive seen a 300tdi with a 200 defender turbo,big intercooler and tweeked boost and pump and the turbo was red!! Looked good in the dark. Still went ok for months until he crashed it :)

Ive a couple of Discovery TD5s Im breakiing. All parts cheaper than Ebay :)

https://www.facebook.com/IRBdevelopments/ Ive had answers from him on facebook....but that was a while ago'

cheap option is fit a 3.9 cam. supposedly it gets you a bit more torque
