    Many thanks. I will check all the hoses and clips. Fingers crossed it’s that easy to fix. Cheers.

    Engine woes Defender 90 Td5 2006.

    Could really use some advice and guidance if possible. My Td5 recently had issues with the turbo (worn end float) and exhaust outlet manifold (warped). I replaced both, using a reconditioned Garrett Turbo from a well know remanufacturer. The turbo sounds loud when I drive, whistling / whining...

    2006 Td5 90 Turbo Issues.

    Just fitted a newly skimmed manifold (it previously looked like the photo above and the gasket was black around cyls 1 and 5). Not hearing the screaming noise anymore, touch wood. Thanks for the sage advice.

    2006 Td5 90 Turbo Issues.

    Fantastic. I had noticed that the studs for 1 and 5 were snapped and hadn’t been repaired. Also one stud was completely missing and replaced by a M8 1.25mm bolt! I put it down to the previous owner’s bodgery! I will definitely take your advice. Far too coincidental for the same problem to happen...

    2006 Td5 90 Turbo Issues.

    Recently my turbo sounded like it was screaming when accelerating and changing between gears. I was advised that it needed replacing. I bought a reconditioned unit and fitted it three week as ago. I primed it with an oil filled syringe and gently spun the internal wheel. I checked there was a...

    Defender Td5 2006 90 Swivel replacement.

    Sorry, daft question but I am looking to try and replace the leaking swivel on my front axle. I have rang a few suppliers to request the parts but they seem divided upon the topic of whether my vehicle has abs. I cannot see an extra wire for the sensor going to the wheel and I don’t notice an...

    Hazard warning light on Td5 no longer illuminating.

    hi, the hazard light switch on my Td5 no longer illuminates when the side and headlights are on. Is it possible to replace the bulbs in these or is a new switch required?

    Transfer box woes.

    Thanks. I suspect that given the amount of seals and gaskets that have been replaced I will probably end up buying a recon transfer box. I have read somewhere that you can get a different ratio box which is supposed to improve the drive (lower engine noise at 70mph). Has anyone any experience...

    Transfer box woes.

    hi, I am a self confessed Land Rover addict from sunny Surrey. Whilst I am no certified spanner guru I am trying to learn more about my Td5 90 to save on garage costs. I have owned it for just over a year and christened it on Salisbury Plain. Like many Land Rovers, mine recently started marking...
