Hi everyone My noisy TD5 fuel pump mystery continues. I know its not the pump (Ive replaced it 3 times including a VDO one) - the new one is quiet for 24 hours then goes noisy again. Ive replaced the fuel filter and checked the air bleed filter (the fuel filter housing was replaced a month or...

Right - after much more research and deliberation I reckon the all the issues have come since I replaced the fuel filter housing a month or so ago. The connectors were a real pain to get off and I wonder if one or more of them are now damaged. They dont leak but you can pull them off without...

The saga continues. The VDO fuel pump was confirmed to be faulty and I got my money back. I fitted an after market fuel pump that was quiet for 2 days and then got loud. The fuel line marked number 8 on the fuel system diagram HP Feed Connection from pump direct to the Fuel Pressure Regulator...

Quick update - I fitted a new pump (not a VDO one) on the recommendation of the garage and its now as quiet as it should be - definately a faulty VDO - disappointing considering the cost. I'm going to now have to submit a warrantly claim etc so thats a pain but better than sounding like a jet.

I tried to upload a mp4 file but no joy so did a zip thing. Just a note the area around the pump looks damp but its not, its where i cleaned it.

Good morning A few years ago I bought Landy (2000 TD5 90 Defender) and then spent about 18 months renovating and doing replacing parts as and when they needed. Over the last year I have started to work on the stuff that isn't necessarily urgent but more a good to do. Amongst other things I...

thanks for the advice

Hi Everyone My TD5 90 was leaking diesel from the rear of the engine this week and so had a look thinking it was the fuel pressure regulator that I replaced last year but unfortunately it wasnt (would have been under guarantee and an easy swap out). Unfortunately the fuel line that goes back to...

Perfect thanks mate - Ill order the Hardy Spicer tomorrow

Good morning all I'm just prepping for my MOT in a month or so and need to replace both front and rear propshafts on my TD5 Defender 90. I use Landy pretty much every day but only for on road driving. I just want a straight replacement and most suppliers stock the Britpart shafts. My only...

Thanks for the replies guys - Ive pretty much done all of the renovation on my Landy myself but the company insist on having the box fitted by a garage - it was done by my local independant and hes also my mate so when they changed it I also got a new drop arm and pipes and chassis bolts etc...

Thanks mate but I think they are going to replace it - just not pay the labour! Cheers anyway tho

Hi everyone my Defender td5 steering box was leaking in February this year and I needed to replace it for my MOT. I did some research and went to We Are Diffs in Birmingham. As part of the warranty I got my local independent garage to fit it. It has started to leak from the front of the box...

Hi mate I feel your pain. All that immobiliser unit does is stop the legitimate owner from driving the Landy! I eventually ran out of patience and removed the immobiliser from the ECU and snipped a wire on the AS10 and now Im free from niggling intermittent starting issues (relating to the...

Replaced the warped front discs and fitted new pads. Also put the correct fitting kit on the pads so theyre not rattling now. Took a lot longer than I thought it would, 5 hours, but thats Landys I guess.

The one I had was the centre core plug just along from the Fuel Pressure Regulator had corrode. Surprisingly easy to to move all the gubbins and get to them. Personally I wouldnt remove the oil dipstick - it does say you need to in the manual but I think that would cause u more pain in the...

Replaced the power steering pipe that had a massive kink in it when I got a refurbished Power Steering box. Not too bad of a job. Had to cut off the pipe with junior hacksaw to get a 14 mm socket over the bolts going into the pump. Wasnt too fiddly in the end. Whilst I was there I checked the...

Looks the same as my one I did last year on Landy (theres some photos on here if u look). I cant speak higher of the LRM products. I actually went to their factory/business them to pick them up and spent 30 minutes just chatting away - really great people and superb products. I agree with...

Hi Albert Nothing too difficult to remove the dash. First tip I would say is take the bloody steering wheel off. I wish I had it would have made it easier. All the screws are pretty obvious and should be easy enough to locate. Its not a tight fit and should come off pretty easily. I must have...

I put a bearmach one on for about £25. Its such an easy job its not worth paying for a genuine one. I usually only do that for things that are a pain in the @rse to fit.
