Utter nightmare, though wouldn't swap it for a Ferrari! :D

Read a lot about the original items not being up to the temp ratings required not sure if they slowley cook over time :rolleyes: Will do the clutch at somepoint so it will wait - until then just have to turn the stereo up a bit more, I have managed to drown out (ignore!) most of the other...

Thanks MHM :)- I did fear the "expensive" word! :( Shall put it on the list of things to sort when my numbers come up on a Saturday evening!

Evening All, Been noticing a squeely chicken sound coming from the Landy recently... Driving around high or low speed and I lift off the throttle it squeels and whines like someone is stranging a chicken. If I dip the clutch the noise instantly stops. Its a 99 TD5 and have changed both...

Easy tiger.... Just picking the knowledgeable brains of these here landy folk, who have been extremely helpful so far. Sorry if my genuine need for some extra helping hands is getting in the way of your 'whats the fishing like' questions!

Is that a clean it job or bin and replace? If clean it where does that little bugger live?

OK guys these are the latest logged faults :D Aircon Fan drive open load Tacho Drive open load Aircon Clutch drive open load EGR Valve stuck closed Engine speed outside bounds for cruise Vehicle speed outside bounds for cruise Landy doesn't have Aircon or Tacho or EGR so no worries there...

Seems to be better when on boost - difficult to drive it without having to hit the gas hard enough to keep it off boost. Borrowed a different MAP sensor and it didn't seem to make any difference... :(

Ahh yep sorry guys in my old thread linked somewhere in this one, I have changed all the turbo hoses for flashy silicon ones and also the MAF for a new shiny genuine LR one :D Think the later disco TD5 had electronic wastegates but the Defenders are all manual. could be wrong though, either way...

OK guys, after a weekend of tinkering in between BBQ's and Beer! :D I have some thoughts for you..... Now with Boost gauge fully fitted so I can see what is going on. Driving normally 50mph flat road, pedal 3/4 to the floor boost gauge 1.1/1.2 bar, lift off a little boost drops to 0.4 and...

Ok will give them things a go... Shame u guys are not local as I have just bought a crate of beers!

Yes and no!! Typical unhelpful reply!! :D It did struggle maintaining speed and momentum uphill but now it's there on all runs, having to keep right foot hard down to keep her going when in gear. Did the coasting thing again on the way home. Coasted for 1/2 mile slowing gently. No noises or...

Great stuff thanks guys... Wasn't 100% sure it was a turbo prob, i was suffering with the TD5 oily loom etc and rough performance. Following the search results has led me to many different conclusions and I have changed and cleaned a lot of bits. Now I know the turbo is boosting 1.1bar I guess...

OK so my boost gauge turned up today and she is boosting and holding 1.1bar.... think thats about right. but no negative boost pressure - this could be my lack of knowledge of turbo diesels but on my other turbo'd cars when the car is at idle the boost gauge shows -1.8 bar and then +1.8 bar...

Also overboost fault seemed to clear and not return but only had 2 mile test run in traffic. Am going to get a retest done if prob still there next week

Yep seems to be fine apart from this, will play with the small actuator pipe tomo to double check for splits. Seems to rev ok in neutral thou its not instant - normal? Yep all tyres ok, brakes ok not binding as far as I can see. I did lose a wheel at 50mph just after I got it, but changed...

Yep this is my other post.... http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/next-logical-steps-147262.html Not 100% its overboost but never really feel any turbo kick only a generally lack of power.... Any ideas?

not too sure yet - Boost gauge should be here tomorrow :D

Yep sounds like the flap inside is moving. Good news that this is OK! Just got to the point where I am trebble checking everything to get the overboost prob sorted. Thanks

Evening all.... Still battling with my over boost probs..... If I remove the actuator rod from the Turbo how free should the wastegate arm be?? Mine is completly unrestricted... is this correct? or should there be some resistance? Thanks
