    TD5 fuel pressure regulator gasket trouble..... Not the regulator!

    That makes perfect sense thank you. I haven't really had much trouble getting everything in place which is what I find strange about this whole thing, the gasket surely shouldn't be so sensitive to fitment. I'll have one go with a new gasket and if it leaks again I'm going to pop another one...

    TD5 fuel pressure regulator gasket trouble..... Not the regulator!

    Hi guys, Thanks for all your input :) I do have the right gaskets. Please tell me more about the elastic band trick, I've googled but can't find anything. I have either Curil k2 or Loctite 518 anaerobic both of which would be happy sealing it and easy to clean off in future.... Perhaps...

    TD5 fuel pressure regulator gasket trouble..... Not the regulator!

    Sorry to bore you all with this, I know TD5 fuel pressure regulators have been discussed a lot in the past but I'm struggling with this one and its a little different so I could do with some pointers. In short I changed my fuel pressure regulator (just the regulator itself and the compression...

    Speedometer calibration 10% out

    No worries ;) I've calculated the tyre size difference between what i assume was standard on my TD5 205/75/16 ? And the 235/85/16 tyres I have fitted and that would seem to suggest it is just the tyre sizes throwing it out at 11.42% difference in diameter. Does that sound right? Can I change...

    Speedometer calibration 10% out

    Hi Guys, The speedometer on my 2000 TD5 Defender 90 reads 10% too slow according to my GPS (with 235/85/16 tyres) When driving at an indicted 60mph Im actually traveling at 66mph etc. Does this suggest that the transfer box has been changed in the past? It seems like too much variation to...

    TD5 vs TDCI A frame difference?

    They came off an early TDCI so had the correct bushes for my TD5 in them already, I think they changed in 2009 ;)

    That's encouraging thank you. I think I'll buy the TDCI arms and offer them up.

    TD5 vs TDCI A frame difference?

    Thank you that's very helpful :) I hope then that it's as easy as pressing some new td5 bushes into tdci arms, I will not be using a reciprocating saw this time.... If anyone knows if the arms are different please let me know.

    TD5 vs TDCI A frame difference?

    Hi all, I hope I've posted this in the right section. Can anyone please shed any light on whether I can bolt TDCI A Frame arms on to my defender 90 TD5 chassis? I managed to damage one of the arms removing the top bush, don't ask, and a local breakers has a pair of TDCI arms which look like...
