Its not been touched for quite some time, but as I said half an hour with a good jet wash and it would look pretty different. You may get a nasty letter from David Attenborough though regarding the wildlife made homeless.

It's quite a project for sure, but I deliberately left it looking like it is, I think half an hour with a good pressure wash would make quite a difference, and give you the heart to get moving on it.

I do not own this Vehicle but I know the person looking to sell it and offered to put it here to increase the possibility that an enthusiast might take it up and restore it. Chassis is an unknown but will probably need welding or replacing front outriggers are rusted, Diesel engine but has...

QUOTE="Brown, post: 5089125, member: 89082"]Right, my new secondhand ECU turned up today. I went out in the cold and ran the engine for a few minutes on the existing one to get it going, so as to make sure it was all working. Then I swapped the new one in and had a look for stored faults, and...

This is the one I used but you may find it cheaper somewhere now, I think it's used on some German cars https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fuel-Pressure-regulator-0280160575-Bosch-Control-Valve-078133534C-BA9C968B-New-/332308717053?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

Very often they dribble diesel when the diaphragm leaks, and it can find it's way into the clutch if you are not careful, I had a pig of a job with the o ring on the strainer falling out.

These people give the two types, but I couldn't copy and paste on my phone, https://x8r.co.uk/land-rover-td5-mk2-ii-discovery-defender-diesel-fuel-pressure-regulator-repair.html And here may help https://www.instructables.com/Land-Rover-Discovery-2-MK2-II-Defender-TD5-25-Dies/ This one is...

Quite honestly the housing should last the life of the vehicle unless physically damaged by an impact or similar. I fitted a bosch FPR on mine and it works fine, but when I connected a pressure gauge into the FPR (using the temp sender location) I see 4 bars pressure which is as it should be...

Sorry to hear that, yes I agree about the business model, seems to be change the capacitors and cross your fingers, if it's ok then fine if it's more complex then do a refund. At least they gave you your money back. I am noticing the price of ECUs if going up these days, in the past there were...

Having done both i can't agree with that, and the one in the picture from 2016 is still fine.

Why?

When I changed my seals a while ago I sawed the back plate into two halves, so it comes off without a major strip down, you can carefully cut the seal and fit a new one putting the split at the top and a dab of silicone on the edges, with a bit of care it works. You can see the back plate is in...

I would be interested in how they deal with your problem, I have had mixed experience with "lifetime warranty" I had a fluke meter with a lifetime warranty, the model had a well documented problem with the lead plugs so I shipped it back, they told me that the lifetime warranty actually was 10...

Thats exelent news I hope it keeps on working, I agree with @Cavey_P38 you might have a profitable sidline here, there are many TD5s arround and an ever decreasing number of ECUs like you I bet many of these are due to capacitors. maybe we need a modification to the board to make the capacitor...

are you allowed to use terms like "master cylinder" and "slave cylinder" these days? Dont want them pulling your statue down

Effectively the haldex is a wet multiplate clutch which is fitted on the prop shaft input to the rear diff, so when it is disengaged then the rear wheels are not driven the car is front wheel drive only, when it engages then all four wheels are driven, it doesn't drive the rear wheels...

I was under the impression that the green top injector works at a much higher pressure which enables the engine to meet the later emission standards. There are two different rocker arms and I may be wrong but I think you are supposed to keep the injectors and rockers as a set. I had some...

. I did notice the new micro controller from R pi at a very reasonable price, it starts to open new doors But as you say one thing at a time.

That is something I have tought about the life of these ECUs must be limited and then the vehicle becomes a dud, wonder if some genius will fins a way to replace them with raspberr pi or similar.

Just a though but @sierrafery is resident electronics expert maybe he might know where to get capacitors or modern equivalent
