    What MPG do you get?

    2002 Td5 110 with 111000 on the clock - stage 3 remap + overdrive. Best - 33mpg on 2000 mile round trip to the Alps at a steady 60 - 65 mph. Worst - towing 3.5 t trailer on a regular basis around 24 mpg - not worked it out properly but I can loose 100 miles out of a tank if I'm towing a lot...

    Defender TD5 wont start

    Long shot but we had a works Td5 that started doing the following: Engine would crank over but not fire, temp gauge almost into the red (when engine was definitely cold). Turned out the be one of the yellow relays under the drivers seat. When ever it happened we used to give the relays a...

    Td5 lack of pull

    I had a similar issue - got a 2002 110 Td5 which I regularly tow 3.5 tones with. Wasn't too impressed when I first towed with it and investigated various things to see if it made any difference but nothing. Got a stage 3 map done by Alive tuning (via Rovertune in Reading) and the difference...

    Webasto/Eberspacher 110 TD5 fuel pump stand pipe

    Hi Ratty Cheers for all the info on this, I'd be interested to hear what you decide to do. Apart from the electrical part (not my strong point!!) it seems relatively straight forward to install. I've started looking on ebay for a good second hand one so hopefully something will come up soon...

    Can I expect more than 300 miles from a Td5?

    Generally get 400 - 420 on my 2002 110. Managed 480 on a run down to the Alps last summer as a steady 60mph all the way!! Stage 3 remap and roverdrive helps a lot. On BFG Muds 265/75/16. I tow a 3.5 t trailer a lot for work and got it chipped to towing/eco and made a big improvement on towing...

    Webasto/Eberspacher 110 TD5 fuel pump stand pipe

    So are you looking to tap into your fuel tank rather than run it off the 5L can? I do forestry work for a living so the idea of having a way to heat the cab up during the day for lunch break etc is very appealing during the winter!! Aside from the fuel issue, was it fairly straight forward to...

    Defender 300 TDi Project!

    Looking good mate :-) Do you (or anyone else) know what colour your 90 is? Looks the same as mine which I thought was Coniston green but after buying a can and testing it, it looks too dark?!!

    Webasto/Eberspacher 110 TD5 fuel pump stand pipe

    I've wanted to fit a webasto for ages to my 110 Td5 but have been put off by the idea of having to access the fuel pump! I've not seen the filler neck/stand pipe option before. Looks like a cleaver idea to me - is there anything that puts you off this option? Are you looking at fitting a cab...

    Is this any help? About halfway down the page there's a pic of the top of the fuel pump - I've not read the whole thread but there might be something there..? Defender2 - View topic - webasto fuel tap anyone ?

    Wet

    My 110 hard top (Td5) was the same when I got it. Had a front head lining but the back was bare ali. In the winter all my gear got soaked with the condensation. I've now stuck sleeping roll mats and that thin thermal foil for insulating loft etc to the entire roof. Used normal carpet adhesive...

    tent on the back of a 110

    I keep toying with buying this: Tailgate XL Awning (110300) - Khyam - Ridgi-dome Not cheep but I like the fact the poles are part of the tent and it goes up very quickly. I had a small dome Kyham tent which went up the same way and was pretty impressed that the tent was set up within a few...
