That's what I'm worried about. How much would you expert for a new fuel pump + fitment? Yeah it definatly boosts to start with them dies. I'll also mention the waste gate too.

I have spoken to the landrover garage and they believe it's the fuel pump not working properly. It's booked in on Thursday for a proper diagnosis. Do you agree this could be the cause of lack of power mid/high revs in each gear even when gently pushing the accelerator?

Would this work for a td5 defender?

Yeah that's my next step. Will be booking into the experts. I just find it fun trying to work out issues myself. But diagnostics in this instance is definitely my next step.

Tried a new MAP and unfortunately no change. Next thing to test.

Egr has been blanked correctly. This is my 3rd one so all good. @huffhuff any chance I can take you up on the offer of trying the MAP? means I can rule this out if all is good.

Nanocom it is. damn I'm based in Salisbury, your a little too far.

I've cleaned the maf and map. Although car feels better it still has the flat spots. I gently put the accelerator on and whether info or hard or gentle it still has the same spot. Wouldn't a boost leak or collapse hose not happen if I was very gently accelerating. It makes me think it's a...

I I'm plugged the maf and it ran the same to be honest. Thought I'd might aswel clean it if I'm doing the MAP.

I'm going to clean the MAF and MAP. I read conflicting articles. What would you recommend to clean both? Will electrical contact cleaner from Halfords or maplin do the trick for both?

I'll give this a go. What would thus tell me if it does power back on or if Not? I'm not sure it's a boost leak as today I stayed in gear and gently went up the revs and it still lacked power around the same point it would do if I put my foot hard down. I've just checked the wire that plugs...

No sorry, probably didn't explain it well. I think what my friend means is that when in mid to high rpms the lr looses power when foot to the floor however if you ease up on the accelerator the power is still low. So I think what he means is that if you release the accelerator a bit then you...

Ah ok I'll check these parts out. As speaking to a friend when he gave it a drive believes it's not over boosting as the lr feels normal , and won't clear even if you lift off a bit.

Ah I see. So the more threads showing equals less boost.

Thanks yes installing a boost gauge is definatly a good shout. I reckon the guage will show boost then suddenly lack of. To lower the boost would that just mean adjusting the waste gate? Thanks

The previous owner said he has never had this problem before. I havnt done any mods to the engine since. I havnt played with the waste gate rod as if yet. Will this reduce the turbo psi power if I shorten it? There is a landy specialist down the road in Salisbury but thought I'd try any...

Hi all, My 1999 td5 defender 90 is lacking in power at higher rpms in each gear. If i put my foot down in any gear, the turbo kicks in and it pulls lovely, then the power just dies after about 4seconds of boost. I change gear and it comes alive again then dies. This happens in each gear. The car...

Just bought my first defender 90 td5. Very happy

Haha i feel like a right Muppet. Of course the other pipe is for the back washers haha. Yeah I did the whole pin bit. But it didn't work. I'll try again tomorrow.

Hello. I've bought a td5 1999 defender and been trying to fix the front washer jets. The pump works fine but I think there's a blockage somewhere. There's 2 pipes coming from the washer bottle and I put a compressor through the bulkhead washer pipe and air came out of only one pipe. I then...
