I wonder if anyone can advise me on the best way to set up my steering box. It’s on a 2000 TD5 but it’s had a recon unit fitted and I just can’t get a positive feedback.

My 2000 TD5 turbo is whistling a lot. Is this normal? As far as I know it’s the original. It has a standard exhaust and on tick over you can hear a whistle out the back. When driving it really hisses and drowns out most of the other noises. The turbo seems to be working ok and is very noticeable...

I know that Defender heaters are never great however, mine is particularly bad and I wonder if I’m missing something obvious. The engine gets up to temperature and the thermostat is functioning fine along with the water pump. All pipes are too hot to touch but the heater blows lukewarm at best...

I have a mapped 10p TD5 that should be producing approximately 190hp but the rolling road says 160hp. Compression is good, all sensors are functioning correctly, turbo and actuator are working fine, engine starts and runs perfectly and there is not enough black smoke to worry about. I just can’t...

Hello everyone. I need to fit a decent front and rear dash cam system to my Defender. Can anyone recommend anything that’s suitable and easy to operate?

I’m missing something obvious here but I’m running out of potential culprits! I just rebuilt a 10p TD5 and after 600 miles the Big Ends are Goosed! At rebuild I changed the oil pump, shells, rings and oil obviously. Everything was like for like and it had no problems or wear before I stripped...

I'm having compression issues with my year 2000 TD5 and I wonder if anyone has any info on piston rings. My pistons are standard and probably original but after fitting new rings I'm finding a loss of compression. After a lot of head scratching (and eliminating everything else it could be) I did...

My TD5 seems to be randomly altering it's revs by about 100 rpm. If I set it at 2000rpm and wait; now and then it will bump up to 2100 for a few seconds and then drop again. It's instant and very obvious both up and down. Has anyone seen this before?

I’ve just done a complete TD5 10p rebuild. The only thing I regret using was a Britpart head gasket. It is now breathing quite excessively. Whether it did from day one I don’t know as only noticed it by chance when checking the oil after 500 miles. It’s puzzling me. What have I missed?

I'm looking for some advice on my 10p TD5. I'm led to believe that it's haunted by a mysterious LR entity and it's a lost cause! I have done a complete rebuild, which I'm told they just don't like for some weird reason. All parts and sensors were replaced (except the Britpart head gasket) with...
