Spend the past week changing the R380 gearbox of my defender td5 due to problems with 5th gear and reverse. Got a second hand box with 38,000km on it and replaced the clutch and flywheel with the spigot bush aswell. After the PITA job, started the engine and guess what, could not engage any...

I have been given 3 90Ah 900A AGM batteries in very good condition for free, and since my stock td5 battery from 2002 is as good as dead (only gives around 300A anymore) I want to put 2 of them (or maybe 3 if that is possible??) in my defender. Now someone told me i can't simply run the 2...

Does anyone on here has done a vnt conversion by themselfs? I'd like to put one on my defender but don't know what's the best turbo to start with? From what car? What turbo size etc ? Regards, Niels

Hi, I have a tuned map from a friends Defender Td5 and we'd like to know if it is possible to upload the tuned map on my defender ? I've heard that it could not be done, but we 'd like to try but are afraid of messing op the ECU. Thanks

Because I think the A/C version sticks out way too far to the front. And it's not a second hand one.

Sure, this is what I have now. I want a mantec one because i then can bolt an A-bar on and off. It's a cheap prime-tech winch.

Hi, Does someone know if it is possible to fit a non-A/C mantec winchbumper on a A/C equiped Td5? Is there any modification needed apart from cutting the grill? Because I really like the mantec bumpers but i think the winch sticks out too far on an A/C one.

It can't be the clutch switch, as the truck still does it when just releasing the accelerator. He only does it when releasing the accelerator when driving, not when I'm stationary, or when i press the clutch and rev it. Only when releasing the pedal, when i was driving. Niels

The clutch switch is just an on/off switch so i'll do that first, but how do you check the throttle potentiometer?

Nobody? I'd like to get it sorted out because it's a bit annoying I think.

When I release the accelerator while driving, the engine keeps going for about a second, maybe 2 seconds. The same thing when pressing the clutch and releasing the accelerator. Sometimes when taking of in 1st gear and shifting at very low RPM it doesn't do it. But apart from that the landy does...

Alright, thanks for that! I'll take a good look at it when i'm going to replace my fuel pump, because the gauge is always saying it's empty.

So i better drain the fuel tank or ride untill it is really empty?

How could that happen?

I'm gonna change the fuel filter next week so i'll see what it does then. But i noticed that when i take a fast turn to right with the landy, the power loss is gone too. Anyone an idea about that? Niels

Hello, my name is Niels, I'm from Belgium and have got a question for you. My defender 110 td5 2002 sometimes has a loss of power. I have never had this problem in the morning when i drive to work, but when i leave my work in the evening i am struggling to get 45mph out of it. It accelerates...
