Yep have them on my 90 and they have taken some abuse, as Streaky says the ride is a bit harsh when empty but alot of thats got to do with having heavy duty springs on the rear, I'm very pleased with them

Everything lights up as normal when starting, when it dies there are no warning lights or anything. When you turn the ignition its completly dead, after about 5 mins it starts again as normal

With just under 2 weeks until the truck goes into a container to India it has started playing up Whilst driving home last night the engine just cut out, after a few minutes it started again. Same thing this morning, its as though I have turned off the engine and taken the keys out of the ignition. When you turn the key in the ignition its completly dead Just been to the local garage and they can't do anything for at least a week Anyone experienced this problem before ? I have checked the ECU to see if there is any oil but it all looks ok If I can't get it sorted it looks like the trip to India is off Its a 2001 TD5 Thxs Jason

Yep thats exactly how they work

The yellow ones are rated at 2500kgs, the price we paid including shipping was about 30Euro's I have used mine on a regular basis and they are fine, I tend to use 2 on the hook at the same time to spread the load Jason

I have just replaced the shocks and springs on my 90 Opted for the same springs as you and bought the Super Gaz shocks from Britpart. Only been on a month but I'm very pleased with them They have taken some stick out in the desert and hold up very well, the set up works very well when the truck is loaded up, bit of a bone shacker when its empty though Jason

Fair enough, know what you mean about not speaking English I drive the devils engine according to some, TD5 90, personally I love it, had a few issues but then it is a landie Do you ever get up to Dubai?If you do let me know there are a few of us who are out in the sand most weekends Have a look at www.me4x4.com, local club with plenty of knowledgeable guys Jason

Like the idea of the mech lock, bit pricey though for what I want, disclock is good as well but i'd expect the shipping cost to get it here rules it out Looks like it going to be the FIA switch or possibly a switch cutting the live feed to the fuel pump Cheers

Tracy Have you tried Gulf Stars in Sharjah, they seem to carry most parts and are reasonably priced

Taking my truck into India for 3 weeks and need a way of effectively immobilising it Was thinking a fitting a battery immobiliser switch, will this work? Or does the ECU need a permanent live feed Any other ideas? I don't want to activate the LR immobiliser, just in case Cheers Jason

The intercooler is only about 12 months old, so hopefully not cracked EGR was removed about 6 months ago Been having a look under the bonnet today and it does not look to complicated to take both the rad and intercooler out. Usually put the car into a garage but going to tackle this one, anything I should be aware of ?

Cheers Western I'll have a go and removal and cleaning at the weekend

Noticed this today at the botteom of the rad, it has also blown up between the rad and intercooler and with the help of sand has clogged everything up Picture taken with front of vehicle with grille removed On further investigation I found the inside of the intercooler hoses to be covered in black gunge Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what the problem could be Cheers Jason

Tad on the warm side, about 40 degrees at lunchtime today, it was 24degrees at 0600am this morning Pic was taken in an area called Hameen in the UAE.

Green lanning Middle East style, and absolutely no water of any kind

Good to hear from you mate, I remembered you having a similar problem. I mentioned this today and it was brushed off, i think the statement went something along the lines of" Its a design fault" Managed to get a fuel pump from Gulf spares in the end 450chips compared to 1850 for the 110 thats buggered as well I will wait until Saturday morning, when hopefully they have fixed it before I start "negotiating" Did you sell yours in the end? Good idea about the TD5 mechanic but I don't think even Al Tayer have got any qualified guys. You have given me an idea, start my own Landie garage, find someone who knows his stuff and bingo

Thats the 1st thing I looked at when I went there this afternoon, as I had filled it up before I took it in I was down at the garage for about 3 hrs this afternoon but they just could nt get it going, there just does nt seem to be much pressure from the fuel line. Had to bite the bullet and try and find a new fuel pump Funny thing is though they had another TD5 in for a service and it developed the same problem

Cheers for the quick response I have sent them a copy of the purge procedure from the workshop manual Cols when I see you I will tell you whch garage

Just recieved a call fom the garage who are servicing my TD5 They have changed the fuel filter and now it will not start, it fires up then dies They don't know what to do, anyone got any pointers Would they have to follow the same start up procedure as if I had run out of fuel? And if they had not would that bugger up the fuel pump? Funny thing is they have 2 TD5's with the same problem Cheers Jason

I had a similar problem with my TD5, plenty of WD40 and a big hammer, it took a while but it worked

Streaky That sounds like a win/win situation............................................for you, know where's the gas cooker gone

Everyone has got to start somewhere If someone takes the time to post something like this, if you feel it is beneath you, then don't post a reply

Thats probably because you bought everything that I wanted

Adam You can buy an extension to move your ECU from under your seat and connect it higher up, the other option is to waterproof the area under the seat where the ECU sits, a few people have dons this I am sure someone will be along with more info, I don't have to waterproof things, not much rain and water where I play

Mark If you are coming over for the DC this year have a look in ACE hardware.They are selling WAECO and they are very cheap I am going to buy one at the weekend, I'll let you know what the prices are like, from memory the CF35 was about 100gbp Jason
