Another problem with the loom that came with the engine I bought. Not only are the connectors for the EGR modulator missing, but there are also two multiplugs missing that connect to the engine compartment fusebox. Shown above. What are these for and are they essential?

I can imagine them being very expensive. Perhaps Britpart make an alternative.

I doubt many owners will be well versed in who manufactured the airbags. Safety isn't high on most peoples agenda. Sorry that I can't offer any info.

Some of the cheaper complete units have had some bad feedback. I am hoping Bosch will be trustworthy.

I bought the Bosch regulator and the gasket/o ring kit separately. Saved a lot. It was easy to fit for me as the engine was on a stand.

Been inserting pin removal tools but have had no luck so far. I will have a resrt and try again tomorrow.

It suddenly dawned on me that the compressor that came with the replacement engine was still in the garage. When I checked, the plug was still in the socket. Thanks.

I need to try and source a plug that connects to the air-con multi socket on a td5. The plug is female and is on the wiring loom and looks like like this - The socket on the compressor looks like this -

Bolted up the radiator and intercooler, horns and front grille. Fitted the serpentine belt and front prop-shaft. Bled the clutch.

Blanking kit ordered complete with cooler blanks. Thanks.

I notice there are different kits. I suppose I will need one with blanking plates for the egr cooler.

Thats good to know. I will order an EGR delete kit. They look relatively straight forward to fit, hopefully. Thanks.

I was told it was from a discovery. Are defenders EGR set ups different?

Would it be simpler to fit one of these and forget about that part of the wiring altogether? Are they easy to fit?

I have a replacement 15p TD5 engine mounted to the gearbox and chassis of my 2003 discovery TD5. Aircon but no ACE. The original wiring loom had connectors which fitted on the EGR solenoid but the wiring loom with the replacement engine doesn't. Do I ignore this or fit my original loom?

Dry but cold today so finished mating the engine and gearbox. It mus be luxurious to be able to do these tasks under cover with heating.

Had a few hours off this afternoon so tried to transfer the replacement engine I bought to the engine bay. Didn't achieve an awful lot apart from getting it out of the garage and under the bonnet. Seem to have got to a similar stage that we got to when replacing ther gearbox earlier in the...

Sorry, replied to wrong thread.

Finished getting replacement engine ready to go in. I had it on a stand and after changing the oil pump sprocket bolt, injector washers and seals and spigot bush, a few days ago I fitted a bosch fpr and seals and a new QH water pump. I only changed the water pump and fpr because accessibility...

Yes. Just two bolts and a nut. Its the nut that generates posts.
