Hi all, It had an alarm/imobilser, Krooklock steering wheel lock and hidden fuel cut-out switch. I use all these when parked on the road. For the past year have been parking in the yard between gates and garage since having the snorkel ripped off one night. Typical I didn't use the alarm when...

My red 90 was stolen on the night of the 14/8 from within my rear yard in Sheffield near the city centre. If anyone is offered this vehicle E724NSE please let me know. Obvious parts are: a 19J engine fitted with an Allard Intercooler with blue silcon pipework A Maggiolina Safari roof...

Hi there, Check out the bump stops on the axle. Are they there? If your suspension is lifted and you have standard height bump stops then this is the same as having none. I snapped off the top of a couple of shockers before I realised this. I don't think they snap being pulled it when they...

Yep, I mean the injection pump not the lift pump. Follow the thin pipe that comes from the top of the turbo round across the front of the engine and down to the left hand side (from the front) and it goes into the fuel injection pump on the engine side. Under that little cover is the rubber...

Hi, Fuel pressurisation in a 2.5TD can be caused by the little rubber diaphragm in the fuel pump rupturing. It is found where the pipe runs from the turbo round to the fuel pump. This pipe carrys turbo boost pressure to the fuel pump and increases fuel flow when the turbo boost increases...

Got one in Sheffield, Nanking AT I think, on a steel R16 steel wheel. This tyre was on the back of my Landy for 2 years and never lost pressure. Fraction under 31.5in diameter. Yours if you want it. Private message me is you do.

Not wanting to hijack this thread but is my problem related? Changed the fuel solenoid as it was leaking, started fine but refused to stop when ignition turned off. When I removed the wire the engine stopped. I put a multimeter on to the solenoid and when the engine was running +12v but when...

Hi there, I got my 2.5TD with Insa Turbo Saharas fitted. They perform very well on road. I've changed them after about 12000 miles for BFG MT's which are a little more unruly then the Saharas. Insa are definitly softer tyres than the BFG's and will wear out far faster. My suggestion is to...

Hi there, Check the wire from the starter relay to the solenoid on the starter motor. Listen carefully when you turn the ignition key. Is there a click? If no click then it could be the starter replay. If it does click the wire could have come loose or broken where it joins the starter motor...

Hi there, It is worth lagging the exhaust manifolds to increase power. I have done this to my 2.5TD firstly to reduce the under hood temperature because these engines don't like to be hot but secondly you get the power increase advantage as well. As the hot air leaves the cylinders and enters...

This weekend just done 450 mile round trip with my 2.5TD fitted with roof rack and lots of metal underneath and got 26.7 mpg which is 320 miles for a tankful.

Just treated myself to a fiver's worth of thermometer off eBay which can show internal and external temperatures. My question is with the 10 foot of cable available where do I place the external sensor so it gives a reasonably accurate reading. I don't want to measure the temperature of the...

Hi there, The clicking in the fuse box will be the starter relay. If it always clicks when you turn the key then that sounds OK. There is a wire going from this relay to the solenoid sitting on top of the starter motor. The connector on this wire which can be found down past the exhaust pipe...

Yep I've done this. My 2.5TD had been basically rebuilt by previous owner and the engine was in very good nick prior to me fitting the intercooler. Allard make an intercooler kit to fit the 2.5TD which consists of ali and silicon pipework and an intercooler that fits in front of the radiator...

You can make alterations which seem to help. The biggest difference is to get one with a white roof, it seems to give about 2-3mph more uphill. The other thing i've got are black wheel arches which allow the wheels to rotate at a higher speed. Be careful fitting them though as if you putt them...

My 1988 2.5TD 90 just passed its MOT yesterday with no work needing to be done. I'm just so cock'o'hoop I've got to let you know that there can be Landy life without pain. (I won't go into the years of pain its taken to get here though.) Keep those spanners busy.

Forgot to say don't forget there is a ring of foam between the air intake box in the wing and the heater matrix unit so don't forget to renew that as well so you get the full airflow to the heater

Between the heater unit and the bulkhead is a piece of soft foam cut in a most peculiar shape which perishes over time. I cut a new piece to roughly the same shape out of old packaging foam which is quite dense. Undo the two bolts into the bulkhead at the top of the heater unit and the two bolts...

Hi there, Got the same age and engine as you and had the same problem a couple of years ago. The problem was traced to the rubber diaphragm in the fuel pump. Don't be persuaded to fit a new fuel pump at huge cost when a repair kit for the diaphragm is available and can be fitted for £100-120...
