neily i cant edit as you may get upset how many times members or people you may of known chased there tails in fault finding and then blame a bad or poor install of combustion washers untill they get it right ?

yes your correct i would of been none of of the wiser unfortanattly i noticed where others wont but again your missing the point as they warned me to stay away from ebay as the combustion washers may vary in size now i am wondering if the orings they supplyed are metric or imperial but who...

yes i will speak to them you just me worry about that end as i would be just taking there word do i use the thin ones or thicker larger ones as both fit maybe i need to be more clearer for you to understand my past with the LR dealer in question first a few year ago i had a screaming fuel...

i thought i did purchase geniune as i used my local discovery automotive shop they specialise in landrover rangerover parts service and repairs it could be a simple mistake on there behalf but i have a feeling they also get there parts from ebay any ways i will see what they say on monday...

thanks i will do i had a same feeling 4 of the combustion washers they have supplied me are just not right otherwise at a quick glance they look fine

thanks but just on the flip side my original and first post is un edited untouched my 2nd post was a reply to yours and yes i added in further information to a simple innit comment as i over looked this the first time i read it measuring old crunched washers kinds of defeats the purpose...

its in my first post the reason i ask is that the my local landrover shop advised me to stay away from ebay and combustion washers can vary in size but they have also gave me 2 different sizes ? is there a difference am i purchasing geniune though ? kind of makes you wonder where they are...

thanks but you are missing the point i got told from them be aware from ebay as you may get the wrong size this comment was made when i was paying 27 .50 for 5 combustion washers and 5 orings from them as i mentioned i thats is steep simple innit so do i install the smaller ones are larger...

gday all just purchased a set of sealing washers for my td5 i have noticed one of the copper combustion washers is slightly larger an slightly thicker the reason i ask is that the my local landrover shop advised me to stay away from ebay and combustion washers can vary in size but they have also...

just check to make sure your fuel pump fuel connectors are in the correct ports all 4 of them ..should be colour coded not to sure about the defender but my disco is white green black blue form left to right you may also need to check the fuel lines inside side the fuel tank you will...

i am no expert on the td5 engines but i have experienced loss of compression before .... infact i have experienced my td5 starting motor whizzing over the engine 3 times faster than normal as if the starter motor had no load before it burst into life a few hours later swap #3 lifter to...

i had a run through on your ramble but giving advise on doing a compression test before hand should be very well explained and played out ..... considering there was water pouring out of the exhaust .... this also relates back to number 1 very important thing to remember of internet...

they would of only tested fluid areas and gallery only and considering yours was a coolant issiue they most only pressure checked the coolant gallery does the the engine start or kick with a spray down the air intake ? that providing your glow plugs are working as well as cranking speed

normally when an engine runs out of oil for a period of time the bottom end is removed first not the lid (head) for inspection of damage spun or damaged big end bearing / main bearing as well as thrust washer damage ? hopefully your specialist does some measurements of his own before...

the provent has a by pass and well put together however beaware of cheep knock offs a normal catch can unbaffled will catch about 20 to 40 %.... a baffled catch cans the % rises slightly some people add in wire wool for more surface area if you install a catch can that restricts flow this...

here is my engine near the end of the vid it shows my catch can set up very cheap and effective https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2zT20EVAkA

berg450 you mechanic is correct its normal for a turbo charged engine to breath more than naturally aspirated engine you might want to also check cooling temp using a mechanical or diagnostic unit to make sure the engine isnt under cooling and dont trust that coolant gauge on the dash...

specially when its an intermittent issue and how many 4 glow plugs have the same intermittent issue all the same way what phases me is why the engine starts in the first place so how can this be a glow plug issiue enough for an engine to cut out or stall out once running as i said i have...

i also undderstand where your coming from fella but there seems to be enough heat and compression for the engine to start in the first place as glow plugs do not work like a spark plug

good practice once you have found the culprit .... would you change out all injectors if one fails ? as for calling out members like KISSMYAURA[ i am insure where this is leading to
