    Td5 300tdi

    Pretty sure the answer is yes the lt230 dates back to the early 80s fitting the lt77 and r380

    Smell of burning..

    What he said. Or try checking a caliper isn't ceased. Or wires for the rear bumper lights haven't fallen onto the exhaust.

    V8 with diesel engine oil ? Can anyone confirm this

    :clap2: I prefer petrol oil if I'm perfectly honest... :rofl:

    V8 with diesel engine oil ? Can anyone confirm this

    As well on the oil side of things I remember looking into this for my Range Rover and ended up sticking to 10-40w mineral oil I can't remember the exacts why but I think the general consensus was that with it being an old design it was better to use the 10-40w

    V8 with diesel engine oil ? Can anyone confirm this

    I'd say it's valve stems mate. Lpg doesn't have the lubricating qualities of petrol and rover v8 valve stems are notoriously vulnerable on gas. When I bought my classic range rover it was a non runner, being lpg converted it didn't take long to find the cause. No compression on 2 cylinders...

    Greg's TD5 DII project

    Here is a nice little project I did yesterday, because rear bumpers are so 2014 I decided to remove it, this has its obvious drawbacks. Mainly the lights, lurking in my garage I had a spare Hella Comet 550 off my Range Rover and so I thought surely I can jigery poke the lights. This is what I...

    Is this normal

    Try unplugging the MAF see if that helps, but to answer your question mine only manages 50mph up most hills but it does have 33" tyres and the standard 1:222 transfer box.

    Indeed Orch! Towbar, Bumper and Spare wheel gone it looks a lot neater now. Eventually I'm going to fit some box section to replace the bumper. It's not a priority though 1.667 transfer box is :-)

    The car seems to be ok since changing the transfer box oil. So today I have been using my favorite tool... The Angle Grinder, The departure angle has now been addressed and all I need are some Jate Rings on the chassis.

    Yes I realised it was very low whether it has suffered as a result of this only time can tell :-/

    I dropped the oil out of the transfer box and even though there was about 1 ltr inside it wasn't too bad colour wise and didn't look burnt. Anyway I put fresh ep90 in it and the light flickered for a few miles then went out and so far hasn't come back on :-/

    I have read the codes and it's just the usual ac clutch and egr valve I'm forming the opinion that it's the transfer box as it is quite noisy when revving around 1800-2300rpm it's always done it but I suppose dropping the fluid won't harm for a start

    Well it's business as usual, today the gearbox temperature light came on whilst driving in 4th at around 30mph it's a manual and all I can see online relates to the automatic gearbox. Does anyone have any suggestions apart from Google lol. Which by the way I have done albeit at the side of the...

    3.9 v8 14cux ecu

    Check the inertia, are you 100% sure you have the pulse off the coil as there isn't a lot of things on the 14cux to stop injector sequence when you say it fires on injectors what do you mean? What's fuel pressure like and quality of fuel I had to swap my injectors because bad fuel lines filled...

    Nice one Orch put my mind at rest.. When I find the log book I will check if it says 5 or 7 seats as I can't remember.
