Check the red plug at the Ecu for any oil, hopefully it will just be your injector loom allowing oil into the wiring. Cheap and easy fix if it is that

Does it happen under acceleration or constantly?

are the suspension turrets standard height?

Mine is about 27.5 mph on shell v power or 24 is on supermarket fuel

Looks good, I used a long Allen key

I would definetly repair the wire to the cps, and also check the wiring to it near the bell housing it's very prone to damage and is very sensitive, can you get anyone to plug it in for diagnostics to see if it's getting a noisy crank position?

Worth doing, 2 minute job and sorted mine out. Like you I had chased my tail in several directions first before trying that

Does your temp gauge ever drop to the resting position when your lumpy idle occurs? I had an odd idle a few years ago pulled my hair out for a bit then changed the coolant temp sensor and problem sorted. Just an idea it helped me out at the time

I'll have a listen to mine tomorrow

There you go then, complete the set lol. Just need the header tank, steering fluid res and 600 quid air box to finish it off

Probably not "worth it" from a performance point of view as most td5's don't seem to struggle on the standard radiators but the allisport stuff does look better built for longevity and it is very nice looking stuff too only you know what that's worth to yourself

Get the allisport one, then if your heater does go a bit weak get the allisport heater matrix too

I was originally all set on the allisport but heard of a few of them splitting which has made me a bit wary but the lifetime warranty does appeal

I'm about to change the intercooler on my td5 defender, I have been looking at the allisport one the alive ultimate and the bas hi flow. anyone got any helpful advice to make choosing easier?

Check the crank position sensor they can cause all sorts of starting problems

Why are you selling?

Also worth checking cps I had some very odd intermittent starting isssues which I eventually traced back to the cps, now starts first time all the time

Looks pretty solid but for me at least it would lose out by being fiddlier to fit so I'd be less inclined to use it when only leaving the car for a short while whereas now is use the x eng one whenever I leave the car

It is how I have mounted mine but I suppose it could be bolted straight through the rubber matting already in place but that would be less secure I think
