Yea, thought as much that you'd need an old licence that can tow greater than 3.5T. I wouldn't mind getting a C1+E license all the same. Would be interesting to get exactly what the law is on the 5th wheel setup though and how it effects tow rating combined with coupled brakes. The tow vehicle...

No, they're saying it's a solution if you'd over the 3500kg towing limit which is what has me wondering about it :) Would agree in that even if just towing 3.5 ton, a 5th wheel is far more stable and also easier to maneuver if you can sacrifice the load space in the truck.

Anybody know exactly what the law is on these? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112870394526 Company selling them here claiming that fine on a BE licence! Surely you'd need a CE or C1E so that could pull more than 3.5t? And does the tow...

Sounds like fuel pressure regulator issue to me too. Had one recently that had bad fuel, replaced injectors as we're doomed. Then fuel pump failed but still wasn't running perfect as would take abit to prime and would cut out after about 5 minutes when warm. Changed the fuel pressure regulator...

I had a neighbour that got new injectors fitted and seats were redone yet still wasn't running right. Had a look at them and seats were still crap so redone them again and was spot on so they really need to be perfect

I've three friend's that have one each. One has had his for maybe 3 years. Others have had they're 9 months to a year. We're in Ireland so far from African or Australian climate lol. One of them is a landrover specialist and he also has an alucab gen 3 as well as has had an eziawn and two ARB...

The Spectre 110s and 130s that Tweaked are building are on 37 treps. I'm going building a TD5 130 soon and engine wi have all the tuning bits and remapped by TD5 inside but I'm thinking I'll stick with 35x12.5 on 17" rims even as much as I'd love to put it on 37s. If you go for them though...

Yea, the winch plate and receiver hitch will be fine. Was just more so wondering would people build onto the current crossmember or just cut the lot off and as you said extend the chassis legs a little and then fit the winch in a new rear crossmember and have it flush with the back of the tub...

Planning on fitting a rear winch to a 130 but idea is to change build it into the cross member and also a receiver hitch mount and possibly a swing away rear carrier. Being a 130, I can bring the end of the winch mount etc out abit and still not protude beyond the tub. Will help protect the tub...

I've an Alisport one and it's pretty good. Had it on a Defender before that the stud nearest the bulkhead snapped and couldn't remove it at the time so just took the chance and fitted the manifold and it never leaked. I have it fitted with a vnt turbo too and with the other mods it's doing...

I'm live in Cork so if want any help or anything, drop me a pm. You will have to nct it being an 1985 but only every two years as they changes it recently for cars over 30 and tax will only be 50 quid a year. As mentioned If you've another car that you'll mainly use or use for work, you'll be...

Used get 400-450 out of my last TD5 110. Was remapped, intercooler, decat, egr binned etc and on 33x12.5s MTs with disco transfer box. Averaged 28-32mpg and could do 27 even when towing on a run. My current one only does about 23-25mpg max though with the same mods so seems the engines can...

Must make sure it's not too tight as it might seem fine to test but after abit of a drive and it heats up, the brakes start locking on and you get the smell of clutch lol

LED headlights sorts the wiring issue perfectly I had a few switches fail over the years but once changed to LED headlights, I had awesome lights and never had a blown switch again :) I would agree that the simple design is an advantage if something does fail as you can pretty much get them...

Gets upto 70mph easy. Had it at 110mph before and was still pulling abit but that was enough for me lol.

So looks like I'm doings this swap sooner than expected. My TD5 is starting to get more blowby recently so days might be numbered. More than likely due to not having a great run in when I rebuilt it due to using injectors that were tested and told to be good weren't right at all and my...

Odd TD5 fueling issue. Neighbours 110 stopped one day a few weeks ago and was showing up failed injectors. Changed the injectors and the fuel pump was dead. New VDO fuel pump and it runs fine most of the time and will tick over on the driveway fine but if drive, after about 3 miles, it'll feel...

Think they're are about 500ish. Not much more than genuine ones anyway. Reason I got them was that I melted one of the originals when an injector failed.

Yea mine has vnt, intercooler, alisport manifold, straight through exhaust, oversize pistons and slightly higher cr so close to 2.6 now, Alive map and usual bits but still wouldn't mind abit more really ad my 110 is both heavy as well as do a alot of towing. If pushed a TD5 further, it would...

Already have a heavily modded E46 M3 so have that side of the combo sorted lol. As for Cummins or M57 using more fuel. My TD5 struggles to get better than 27mpg and that's about 200bhp and still could do with more torque in higher gers expecially when towing. People with cummins and one...
