    Dear all TD5 Glowplug Replacement

    You can't rule it out without testing the plugs, this can be done with a cheap multimeter, the plugs are not expensive but it's worth buying good ones as they can be a bit of a fiddle to install, I took off the manifold and cleaned it out when I did mine a few years ago. I had some slight...

    Disco 2 TD5 Permanent Fuel Pressure Gauge

    I think that the best way, you can tee into the temperature unit port but there's some risk of the sensor not getting into the fuel flow and the temperature readings could lag slightly. Would also be interested to see your setup.

    Make an offerover£1500 and its yours. Parts must be worth that, or just think how much you would save on window cleaning

    Disco 2 TD5 Permanent Fuel Pressure Gauge

    Should be too hard, maybe put a tee in the temperature connection on the fuel pressure regulator. I bought a small led device which reads temperature, pressure, and voltage and displays it in colour, but still waiting to install it.

    Help identifying spare wiring in fuse box. Defender TD5.

    A restriction (like the inter cooler) will cause a pressure drop when their is a flow in the system, so you will see an offset that changes with the engine demand. I actually decided to take the easy way with the boost connection and modify it later. That was 3 years ago

    Help identifying spare wiring in fuse box. Defender TD5.

    Good luck with it all. I think it's a good plan to do it in one go and avoid months of stress. I have half leather heated seats in my defender but they are not connected (on my to do list) I did put a boost gauge in place of my clock, I teed into the turbo control pressure to feed the gauge, but...

    TD5 Green Top Injector Advice Much Appreciated

    I think people are hinting that you should just do a quick read on the forum protocol, this section is for introducing yourself, then if you post in the TD5 specific section it will probably get picked up by people who have experienced the joys of TD5 ownership, and help or advice might be found...

    Td5 with the wrong head and down on power - Advise needed!

    If you look at Turner Engineering they only offer one camshaft for TD5 which they say is suitable for all engines: https://www.turnerengineering.co.uk/lgc000310-camshaft-c2x25801865, there is an earlier cam but its says now obsolete. In Rave it tells you that the green top injectors are a much...

    Another TD5 none start problem

    I found this helpful when I first did mine, keep everything as clean as possible. http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Injector%20Seals.html It's usually possible to get the injector out without a slide hammer just a long Allen key to use as a lever.

    Electrolytic rust removal

    Oooo sounds a bit ferocious, probably best on heavier metal

    Electrolytic rust removal

    OK I'd better give it a fair trial and see how it goes. Best be ready with protection, I am interested in trying some Nickel plating and may try this as my first test.

    Electrolytic rust removal

    Am I doing this wrong? I've had a couple of goes in the past at rust removal using vinegar but never seems to work for me. So when I saw this thread I had another try, I had a plate with light surface rust so I stuck it in a jug of distilled white vinegar, after 24 hrs it looks no different. Do...

    Should all new copper washers be annealed before use?

    Annealing them wont hurt, I always do it with new injector washers, not all parts are created equal. Banjo unions often have a concertina type washers on them and they can re seal but it's much better to replace them, flat ones will be work hardened.

    Wanted Air gun silencer

    Yes you must have it on your licence for a firearm, but I dont think air rifles (sub 12 ft lbs) are covered by the same regulations

    ECU Problems :(

    Thats good news, hope it keeps going and proves to be a lasting solution As I have said before this has to become a growing market with quite a few TD5s arround and the ECUs getting older,

    Leaking swivel seal - MOT failure?

    Looks ok but the seal lip is a bit baggy are you sure it has grease in it? Mine was damaged fitting the new one and that's when I cut the back plate and seal and slipped it on, took no time.
