On the quest to convert a 90 into a camper for two! Just wondering if seat riser rails will enabel me to push the drivers seat back far enough to fold flat - after removing the seat base? Have any of you with these seat risers ever tried this? I have an early TD5 with the single stem...

Every engine has it's pro's and con's.... TDi weak point was the timing belt, as I found to my cost!... currently running a TD5, 10P now on 115,000 miles... as easy to work on and service as my TDi, much more tuneable though.

Drop down bed!!?? I've had an idea of building a bed frame that can clip up on to the internal gutter with mattress when not in use, and then lower down to rest at bulkhead level for sleeping... with some kind of flap (or folding dog guard) to level the area in front of the bulkhead where the...

I don't know if this is reall.... but I wants one!!

While we're on the subject of LED's... I've just fitted a set from Bolt on Bits, and very impressed with the quality and ease to fit. Just a query over travelling on the continent... some countries require you to carry a spare set of bulbs - does that mean we/I now need spare LED's or would a...

On the TD5 the fuel gauge is part of the fuel pump, and it all sits in the tank. You may have two problems linked to this unit. The fuel light may be linked to the faulty gauge, so you do actually have a full tank. The chugging could be due to fuel starvation... often it's just a case of...

Have you considered one of those bulkhead lowering kits... not the bar type...I might do this to aid access from the front?

Injector pump?.... or in tank fuel pump?.... There isn't an injector pump on the TD5, My in tank pump failed and I barely managed to limp home...new pump was required. Gunk in the fuel tank can block the gauze at the base of the fuel pump... I eventually put an access hole in the rear floor...

As this now merges Eastnor and the Bristol and West shows it should be a good one. I'm going on sunday, as its the auto jumble day :-) See you there ?? Malvern Land Rover Show & 4x4 Spares Weekend | Mark Woodward Classic Events

I had a bad braking experience in my 2001 TD5 a couple of years ago... turned out to be a cracked servo leaking vacuum... might be worth a look?

15p is obviously the later model, and featured several improvements to overcome some of the problems encountered in the 10p model. I'm no expert, but from what I have read most of the changes were in the head, as injectors are different...metal dowels replaced nylon ones...egr set up changed...

Now you just got the joy of fitting it all back... a day of impact wrench whine in my ears, and rust dust in my eyes... I fitted genuine too... the old ones have lasted 14 years... Nice smooth and tight feel back, like new:D

Looking good... I need new discs... which ones did you fit?... and where did you end up getting them from?

Wow... respect to your determination... I am inspired...many a lesser person would have opted for a new bulkhead. Excellent post with piccies too. :praise:

Still searching... From what I can see diffs from 300TDi onwards have 24 splines and are basically all the same (Rover type)... does anyone concurr? My caution is that some diff guards specify 'post-2007'... was there a change to the axle casing rather than the diff itself at this point?

Just done a quick search, and couldn't find an answer: Will TDCi differentials fit earlier (TD5) vehicles?... I assume they are 24 spline and same 3.54:1 ratio.

Looks like you're no longer with us... but if you do come back...did you fix the horn, light flash fault, as I am suffering with this too, and would appreciate some pointers to fix it?

Typical... booked in for MOT on Monday... and now the bloody horn and light flasher has stopped working again! Any further pointers I could try?... Nickliv, did you fix it... if so how? Does MOT check for flash on headlights...as that might be my problem... might just replace the fuse and hope...

I have just had the same symptoms on my 2001 TD5 90... First the fuse blew for the horn... finally found it under the drivers seat... swapped it around for the 30A HRW fuse - I don't have a HRW... Then flasher didn't work... blamed the switch... fitted new stalk... still no dice:mad...
