    Defender TD5 EGR blank plate bolts size.

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    Posted

    It's been a while since i was on here due to working abroad for a couple of years. Sold my last defender td5 with a heavy heart. Back home now and got myself a nice little Defender TD5 2004. Will need some works as always and the biggest one is i want to do a full respray but that's for another day.

    I still have my old egr blank kit here but are missing the allen bolts. Just wondering if anyone have the size of these bolts please?

    I'll greatly appreciate any help

    Thanks

    Welding helmet recommendation

    I work as a coded welded for Irish rail some very heavy welding both MIG, STICK and some TIG on pipe and we have the speeglas 9100xx adflo and it will last you more than a decade if you look after it. You don't need the adflo if you're not welding everyday just the helmet. The view is great and it's brilliant for any process you can see what you're doing. very expensive though. But worth it if you use it everyday.

    i went for a big drive there jason she's still idling well and no smoke so far. I did the oil change and all filters as well.

    I did notice that the fuel pump is quiet now before you would hear it making noise all the time. i guess air was getting in or something.

    I took some pictures try to post them on but says the file is too big. will try to compress them later.

    How were your washer when you remove them? mine was really bad

    Hi Jason

    Thanks so much for your help. So did a bit of refresh and got it done. Basically had to turn the engine for each rocker before adjusting them.

    Anyway might have some good news. Did the injector seals and washer , the copper washer on 4 of them look really bad. Put everything back together start her after a couple of puff she fires up an idle well. Just going to drive her for a bit to see how she behave.

    Will keep you update

    Hi jason

    just doing the seal now. i only have to adjust the rocker. Sorry if i would sound stupid but when we adjust the rocker the manual says to screw the adjusting screw until we feel it "bottom out". So i'm not a native english speaker sorry:)

    so when they say bottom out should i keep screwing the adjuster until it push the injector rod fully down and back off one complete turn????

    Or should i screw the adjuster until it touch the rod on the injector and then back off???

    I hope i've managed to explain what im trying to explain!!

    And to clarify once it's at TDC i don't need to rotate the engine again for the other injector?

    Thanks again for your help

    Just wondering guys, I'm reading the manual here, and when adjusting the injector rocker's it says to rotate the engine until number 1 injector lobe is at its highest point and then adjust.

    Do i need to turn the engine again for the 2, then adjust, 3,4,and 5?

    thanks thierry

    Thanks Jason

    I've order the seal for the injectors. Won't get them until next week though. Hoping that might sort the problem if not itx a new head I'm afraid. What will cause the fuel rail to leak into the engine? The fuel pump is making noises like as if air is getting through. I had a discovery with a v8 diesel before which had similar problem and it turns out the seal on the injectors was worn.

    I will keep you update when I get to change the seal

    now you are mentioning the oil spray some of the oil which is very thin(diesel into it) has come out from the breather pipe.

    Ordering the seals now (genuine) and why do i need to lock the camshaft while doing the injector? i know i'll need to adjust the rocker after but if i lock the camshaft at tdc then remove the rocker shaft assembly, will the cam itself be in the way while i try to remove some of the injectors??

    i mean that the lobe might be in a position where i would not be able to get a tool there to get the some of the injectors out, so i'll need to rotate the engine to move the cam lobe out of the way ( i could be totally wrong there as i'm just planning this in my head :blink: )

    If im wrong please let me know.

    Also what size of drill bit could i use to lock the camshaft? or will i need the special tool?

    thanks

    got coolant check no oil in it. but there's diesel in my engine oil i think it's overfill and i did the service recently and put the right amount of oil.

    I think i going to order injectors seal and change the copper washer and o ring. do you guys think im right by starting with the seal. it's a 15P engine and she has a the fuel rail outside( but read somewhere that the 15P engine have 2 fuel rail one inside the head and one outside!!! sound a bit odd) may be someone could clarify this?

    Any tips and advice on doing the injector seal?

    I will check that later. Bug I did blank my egr last week and notice just a tiny bit of oil in the inter cooler pipe but erg valve was very clean same as the inlet manifold.!! Could that suggest something?

    I'm just trying to give as much info as I can sometimes tiny details could make big difference

    I think the smoke coming from the oil cap was just that the engine seems really hot. Just checked the coolant again colour is fine but seems a bit oily at the touch.

    If the turbo seal fail will it burn oil of something? How to check that?

    I'm hoping it's the injectors seal as the fuel pump I'd making noises and there's a knock coming from the engine. And it does run funny but it goes away every now and then but the knock and smoke will come back every minute or so.

    What should I be looking into first before I actually take the head off

    Thanks a mil

    chain on td5. i've check the dip stick as well seems over fill and i recently service the landy and definitely put the right amount of oil. smell a tiny bit of diesel. was just wondering if lr sorted the issue with diesel getting in the engine with the steel dowel. i've read somewhere that they use them as standard on the 15p engine!! i'm hoping its a leaking injector seal. but the engine seems hotter than normal but temperature on the dash was normal.

    But i did smell burning when i got out of the cab

    hi guys

    as the title says i might have a big issue and expensive problem with my landy!!!

    was driving to work today first i noticed on start up loads of white smoke but goes away after a minute or so. While i was driving suddenly i start hearing a knocking or clattering noise seem to be coming at the back of the engine near the bell housing!! and loads of whitish smoke coming out. So pull over turn and give her a bit of rev and smoke like crazy and knocking noise louder :( the throttle seem to be stuck a bit as well!! the throttle pedal was fully up but still sound its reving still with the knocking and the smoke.

    Drove back home and on the way it seem to stop and drives perfect but the knocking and smoke comes back every minute or so!! :unsure: Back home i check the coolant and seem fine no oil but i could smell burning somewhere around the engine. take off the oil cap and its very hot smoke coming out of it!!! Engine is off of course. temperature was normal on dash but the engine seem very hot and heater was working inside the cab so i guess there's coolant circulation!

    So could it be a crack head :wacko::( ???? may be injector seal in which case i'll be lucky. Maf sensor ( don't think so)!!! The only modification i did was blanking the egr.

    Landy is a 2002 15P 110 with 115k miles on it.

    If it's crack head how hard of a job am i looking at? could i remove it easy enough I've done it on 200tdi and 300tdi no experience with td5. What about for replacing the injector seal how easy is it to do?

    any advice and help wellcome guys

    thanks

    Thierry

    weird noise coming from the back 110 td5

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    hi guys hope you could help. so have that noise coming from the back of the landy...it sound like the tyres are a bit flat, you knoe the noise flat tyres make when you're driving!!!! if you get me. i've checked the pressure and they are fine. tyres are standard on steel wheel, done the wheel bearing, change the diff oil still no change.

    sound is louder the faster i go even in free wheeling. sound like i have oversized offroad tyres. i don't know if these standard tyres will sound like that, i was thinking that the landy is not plylined and there's nothing between the cab and the rear could amplify the sound make it sound louder?

    any help wellcome

    kind regards

    thierry
