There is a video on the web that tells you about this issue and how to adjust the pedal setting. Its either on the LOF website or Youtube but here is one a guy did . Note he mentions the LOF stuff and not needing the spring at all...

I fitted an uprated 200bhp capable LOF clutch on my TD5 DEF to cope with the remap. It worked fine with new master and slave cylinders but it was fairly stiff to use. I also bought the LOF spring but didnt get to fit it which is said to resolve the pressure needed on the clutch pedal. Very...

The four spray cans and the one litre can of basecoat is not sold thanks.

Sold the four cans and the one litre of basecoat now for the price of £12 in Carlsburg lager which is 18 cans in a pack.... Not a good price but the new owner is well happy with what he got for so little.

If you are losing fluids from the cooling system and the engine runs hotter than normal then it is likely to be the head or a cracked block!!! I had a TD5 Def with the same issues. A new head cost me £1300 plus fitting!!!! It cured it as there were holes in my head as shown in the attd pic and...

What happened on mine was that the hole in the head that was caused by water rotting the alloy instead of use of OAT orange coolant fluid. The hole then caused head gasket failure and thus allowed the coolant to be blown in to the header tank with the removable cap on it. The cap then gets so...

No point in skimming my head due to the holes in it. See the hole in the pic of the head between the top two cylinders to the left of the valves. My head was beyond repair or use hence the new one.

If you are losing fluids from the coolant side i suggest its a problem like i had on my TD5 Defender. The pressure in the header tank comes from the pistons if the head gasket has gone or if you have a holed head between the top of one of the bores and a water gallery in the head. Mine had a...

You need to use the correct coolant or start saving up for the expensive cylinder head in the future. Water rots the alloy head so be warned. Here is the correct stuff to use, its known as OAT coolant.... See recommended LAND ROVER views on what to use. This will stop the rot and is fairly...

That will do the job as it has the T pices and Y piece connectors and the black pipe. All you need to add is a non return valve which is a couple of pounds. See this for the cheapo non ret valve https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283240045625 the outlets with twin jets in each...

Is there fluid leaking from the TD5 water expansion tank cap area? If your losing fluid and or there is fluid leak from the cap or the tank i have bad news for you. I had a TD5 Def90 and the head had holed and the water was being allowed into the cylinders. The previous owner had the head off...

I had the same on my TD% Defender that i had from the first day of ownership. The previous owner used a fairy liquid bottle out of the drivers window on the front screen!!!!!. I had a duff pump on the reservoir box so changed it. Its behind the nearside headlight. So, pop out the light and its...

As slow speeds it sounds like the propshaft joints to me. If not a knock says its tie rodds or anti roll bar mounts or end joints, Last of all check the shockers as one might not be tight or have a dodgy bush in it. The simple cause may also be a moving rear exhaust box due to no mounting...

Have you checked the turbo for sticking? Its a symptom of stuttering power if someone has adjusted the turbo pressure up too high. You get the kangaroo issue which you might refer to as stuttering. If the wastegate is sticking it doesnt adjust pressure correctly or the arm might have rust or...

I did the Alisport blank off [i[e on my Y reg TD5 Def 90 and i also took out the centre silencer and added a straight thru section. I then had STORM do a remap on my ECU and the motor flew afterwards. I simply couldnt believe the difference and was well happy. The pipe was NOT loud and passed...

Is there any fluid leaking out of the radiator expansion tank where the 'radiator cap' is? I had a TD5 Defender that was like your is. I changed the cap and it still leaked fluid so i then went for a head gasket. I had no emulsification at all just pressure in the header tank and leakage of the...

I have four large spray cans of the Land Rover Defender 90 TD5 colour Coniston Green i dont need. Its an exact colour match for the old original paint on my 2001 Defender 90 TD5 as i have used two cans already on it. I also have a litre of Coniston Green Basecoat for spraying. I sold my...

All Defender drivers should take note of what happens to your head if you only use water in the radiator. Not using the right fluid as stated by LR will damage the head like in the pictures shown. Water tends to rot away the alloy head which then leads to you getting hot water spat out of the...

Updated on 20th Sept 2023 as i still have this paint. I have four large spray cans of the Land Rover Defender 90 TD5 colour Coniston Green i dont need. Its an exact colour match for the old original paint on my 2001 Defender 90 TD5 as i have used two cans already on it. I also have a litre of...

I had the coolant spitting out of the reservoir on my 90 TD5 2001. It was due to a failed HEADGASKET AND OR THE HED BEEN HOLED BETWEEN THE CYLINDER AND A WATER JACKET. SEE PICTURES. To fix it i took off the head and found the holes where the coolant fluid had not been topped up with OAT coolant...
