    Help Needed!!! Td5 110 Problems

    OK - mine has come back from the garage. They say there are no mechanical faults with it and think it may be and ecu problem. Strange this is, it seems to work fine sometimes which makes me think its the turbo playing up?

    Help Needed!!! Td5 110 Problems

    Not a great start!

    Not from the look of it. Its a 1 owner 110, 2000 reg used for a landscape gardener. I will replace the hose tomorrow and fill her up. Is it worth me laking off the header tank and giving it a clean or get a new one? Thanks, Matt..

    TD5 Veg oil?

    So I guess the answer is No - do not run a TD5 on SVO without any mods and Yes - Its fine to run it on a 50/50 mix but keep an eye (and ear) on it. Thanks all.

    TD5 Veg oil?

    Hi all, I have a td5 110 (my second landy). I know it wont like SVO but can I run it on a mix of SVO + Derv? Does anyone have a TD5 running like this? Thanks, Matt.
