    bought a TD5 and have a starting problem

    Just to give some feed back for anyone who gets the same problem. I changed the starter motor on my TD5 2004 defender and this sorted out my main problems. From what I have been told apparently if the starter motor isn't getting enough current it pulls current from the injectors. This is why I...

    bought a TD5 and have a starting problem

    I will give this a go as it still hard starts but not as bad as it use to. I have been using Redex fuel treatment which has lowered the fog of smoke in the morning I was getting. They had checked all the fuel side of things and it seems fine that end. It seems like it is something...

    2nd row seats

    I have a cubby box to go in the middle to fit which will finish the front off. It's just whenever I look in the back the bench doesn't look the best.

    2nd row seats

    That was my attempt of trying to post a picture of my front seats lol I bought the bucket seats from bolt on bits. They have the bucket seat back with the defender base so you can still get under the seat. That is interesting regarding what ebbadger said. Would anyone know if a disco 1 2nd...

    bought a TD5 and have a starting problem

    I have some news regarding this problem I was having. We ran it back to being a relay under the seat. I hope I am not premature with this one but I have started it twice since and it has started first time both times and no smoke cloud as before. The real test will be tomorrow morning. The...

    bought a TD5 and have a starting problem

    If you can explain how you cleaned the catalytic converter that would be great! I would imagine that it will be plugged up especially with our fuel quality not being the best here. Thanks a lot for all your help

    bought a TD5 and have a starting problem

    Yes the vehicle had sat down for a long time before I purchased it as I bought knowing it needed some TLC. I'm in the Caribbean so I don't think anyone will be that close lol. but I will see if there is anyone local that can do the Nanocom. I'm going to take all your advice and drive it for a...

    bought a TD5 and have a starting problem

    And I still have the same problem.......damm lol I tried it with a red top 800CCA optima battery and I was getting 10.6V when it was turning over. My mechanic seems to think 4 of the injectors need changing. I have spoken to someone else that had the same problem and he seems to think it is...

    bought a TD5 and have a starting problem

    Ok, here is the latest. I changed yesterday the o-rings, seals and while I was in there the fuel harness. After that it still was doing the same thing. I changed batteries with my 300tdi that has an optima yellow top and then changed it with a brand new battery. Still had the problem. I then...

    bought a TD5 and have a starting problem

    Just bought a TD5 defender 2004 and I am having an issue. When I go to start it turns over a few times with a lot of smoke and then eventually it starts the smoke clears up and it drives great. It seems to start faster if I put my foot on the accelerator. If i turn off and then restart it...

    Footwell replacement

    I replaced mine with DA6100 & DA6101 bit of a pain to replace them but was worth it. Not that expensive either.

    Project Wolf!

    Sounds expensive lol What would be the figure you would want? I would then have to work out if it is worth it as duties are terrible here as you can pay up to 100% bringing in a vehicle.
