That’s all above my pay grade lol. I believe factory set is 1 bar of boost.

Had mine done at Diesel Bobs last year, £400 inc vat.

I’d say the boost pin makes more difference, It’s like most tuning things, it’s a game of diminishing returns. I’ve a turner performance head with turbo technics vnt turbo, so the extra fuelling is required to get the best from the other mods. The defender is a lot nicer to drive now, easily...

Boost ring alters the advance timing ever so slightly, allowing fuel to burn better at high revs, supposedly increasing power at the top end.

New defender service interval is 2 years or 21000 miles, whichever comes sooner.

Are you taking the boost measurement by T-ing off the boost pipe to the fuel pump, as close as possible to the turbo. Your always going to loose some pressure due to pipe expansion and joints in the flow. I get around 1.4 bar on the boost gauge with foot to the floor booting it.

Ive got one of there vnt’s on my 200tdi, they come factory set at 1.5 bar.

I’ve fitted one to my lt77 box, found it very difficult to get it set properly. Yes it solves gear changes feeling like stirring a bowl of soup but often difficult to get into gear without a lot of force, and having to ‘find’ the gears, especially downshifting 5th to 4th. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Switch off keyless entry, it stops the doors being unlocked by people using scanners. Later model Land Rovers have all had extra security added during software updates making them difficult to steal hence insurance premiums lowering. Ghosts are excellent, making it virtually impossible for...

Mot emissions is done at tick over so shouldn’t be a problem

Either keep the car and drive it or sell it on.

Google shows a few companies selling them. Approx £125

In picture 2 it looks like the washer used to centre the pulley isn’t fully home

Had my D300 110 Defender for 20 months from new and no issues regarding reliability and it’s a great vehicle on and off road, However off road you soon realise what big cars they are, for example, Stile end in the Lake District, getting through the gate is mighty tight and the tight turn towards...
