Yea i could do with a replacement ,a new one is proving expensive this time of year. does it matter to you that i am across the pond. Let me know if i am to far away. I can wire on or use the card to cover the cost/down payment. Keith

hh This is a pic of the insides of my 2004 td5 defender's ecu nnn500020. i have it 6 years. It failed while on its first school run(in protest).is it common for the ecu to fail. Does anyone know if its for the bin or can it be refixed. I can post it anywhere they would repair it.

I have noticed an oil leak from the side of the egr valve on my 2004 td5 90. It's weaping out the engine side through what looks like the open and close valve for the egr. I don't think the system uses oil, so I was wondering is the oil coming from the engine or some where and just finding a way out here. There is no blue smoke or noticeable drop in power. There is some oil in the pipe going on to the intercooler.

I take it I am been to gentle with it. Will try heat hammer and sweat on it so.

I was ment to say its the front flanges. They are very well rusted on. Put loads of wd40 on but no moving it. I just can't a good clout at it.

Does anyone have any tips on how to seperate the drive flange from the splines. I have tried the right hand side with no success. I now see the left is worse.

It sounds like it is ok then. It offers resistance when pushed in or out.

I have just change my drop ball arm and had a look at the steering damper. Is it like a suspension shock ,offer some resistance and push out to full lenght when after been compressed. I just disconected it and it didnt move, in or out.

Change your driving style, drive like a truck driver lift off trottle well before a corner or lights. This saved me about 2mpg and then i invested in a K&N air filter this also got me about 3mpg. All in all it has taken my td5 up to 32mpg.

Its a td5. I didnt know about the relay. Is that in where the fuses are. The wiper wont turn off at all. In the intermittened position it just stays on, in the off position it stays on, in the first speed position its on and the speed 2 position works perfect( as in goes faster).

It is 04 with no air con. Its a 90.

Could anyone help a me find the park switch for the wipers on my td5 defender. Its probably an obvious question and answer but am only a novice at this.I had the wiper switch in the cab tested and the seemes to be no fault.

Can anyone help. The wipers on my td5 wont turn off any more. Do i need to invest in a new switch.

Just got computer going again. Ye where all spot on the sort of rivit that holds the connection together had worked loose. Got out the soilder and repaired. The new one has arrived from paddocks along with some other early christmas gooddies.... i mean essentials

Can anyone help. Was Just on the way home from work there when my dip and head lights stopped workig and left me in the dark. the park lights and the flash head lights still work. but when i move the leaver to dip they all go out including the dash. no head or dip.

I only asked about a 04 td5 i dont know which box it is. He said thats the oil they use in the garage for their own servicing.

Rang the landrover garage near me on monday and the said the mtf94 is been suceeded by this smx and they have stopped stocking it for this reason.

I am going to change the oil in the gear box tomorrow but i just had a quick look under neath. Is it the big nut under the refill torx nut that drains the oil. Its just that there is 2 square(i think half inch) nuts down at the bell housing that are putting me off. What are these for or drain. Plus cant get Texaco MTF94 oil over here for some reason, but they are all recomending castrol SMX-S oil instead. Is that a suitable oil.

Yea its the pipe that bolts up to the turbo. Its a good leak. Its running down the pipe onto the flexie bit.

I have changed the oil in my td5 there about 3 weeks ago. I was just checking the oil level when i noticed a leak fron a pipe coming out the bottom of the turbo. Is this a simple fix or is it the start of trouble.

I forgot to mention that it is used for short runs, 11 miles each way to work. I started to drive it like a truck driver and not a car driver and its paying of. Havent done any towing for this result. I was kinda hoping i was doing good.

I am now the proud owner of a '04 td5 90 for 10 months or so. When i first got greengrass( man and machine where both given the name) it was doing 26 mpg. I have since changed my habits and got it up to 29 mpg. Its just got its first engine service(shame on me) and has just returned a 32 mpg. It has no engine or box upgrades. Is this as good as it gets or can i expect more.
