  1. Easy enough to pull apart. Do a google on Laycock and Volvo and you'll find a very good american site on them. The GKN Type R is near enough the same as a type J from Tbox adaptor back, it's an old Laycock DeNormanville design.

    Hardest part is fishing the snap rings out of the oil pump drive, I didn't touch the various pump covers, you need to make spanners for them. A hydraulic press with a selection of spacers and bars makes it easy to get bearings off.

    Got fed up with mine playing up, removed permanantly now and going a fit a Disco tbox

  2. The nanocom map wizard generate original map files wich you can send to de the ecu via OBD II. The ECU run a internal routine, and write this maps in the flash. But when you have the 29f200 in your hand and you want write them with a eprom programer, you need the complete memory image, 256k.

    I can read these image from a good ecu, but It is very dificile of extracting the flash SMD.

  3. Porny (Ian) will be your man for this one i suspect.

    Have you got a nanocom? the software for that has all the factory programs in it, but you need the nanocom to program them to the ECU.

    judging from what you're saying, you have an earlier ECU that's non flashable? hence why you've got the EPROM connected to an outside programmer?

    No jim, they are flashable ecu's, NNN000120. The problem is that both has an interrupted remap. My friend used an old nanocom with the 16mhz cristal. The nanocom crashed before end the program, and now the ecu's don't start.

    I am an expert nanocom user, but i think that It is imposble to resolve the problem without extracting the 29f200 flash of the ecu.

  4. Hello. I've two td5 ecu with bad fuel remap. The ecu's don't start, are dead.

    I am trying to program the 29F200 flash eprom outside the ecu with a eprom programer. The problem is that i don't know how is the native td5 file for a NNN000120.

    Can anybody send me a original map of a td5 ecu?. With it, i'll can see where is the variant and where is the fuel map.

    Thank you.

  5. PS: did you knew that Jim and Adrian had no steering????? :D:D:D:D:D

    PS: thanks for the shirt. Iy will be used kindly in hope of carring some of your competition spirit with it!

    Hello Agostinho, I am Gustavo, the spanish photographer with a Defender Black.

    Jim had a half steering!, they can turn to right but not to left. Congratulations for Jim and Marsden!.

    Here some photos, soon all photos in forum www.clublandrovertt.org.

  6. Hi Ralph,

    Breathers have been cleaned and checked after the previous oil transfer. It's not pressure inside the transfer box, that breather pipe is not dripping oil. Seals, expect a problem because oil is getting in.

    Speed, running speeds of the OD have been up tp 70-80 Mph / 2-10 hours. Thursday I've been doing 675 miles / 1080 km.

    Will drain the unit and refil with ATF but that will not solve the problem.

    Does anybody know the part number of the shaft oil seal(s)?

    Welcome to the GKN problems club.

    I had the same problem traveling to Moroco 16 months ago.

    But my feel is that I have solved the problem for ever, i hope.

    Make the tranfer vent hole biger.

    Replace the big bearing in the GKN with another orginal bearing. Only the original NTN orange color will run ok, don't try SKF or other brand.

    And install another seal and a o ring in the GKN, like you can see in these photo.

    One travel from Madrid to Tunisia, and 20.000 km after, my GKN is working ok still, only with a small mix of oils between tranfer and OD.

  7. It is better than not having ETC but a Defender with just the centre difflock will outperform a Discovery with ETC on all four wheels never mind if you fitted the Defender with axle lockers as well.

    i think so.

    You can stop ABS / TC with a switch connected to the abs fuse in the fuse box. The switch will break the power supply to the ABS ECU, and when you return the supply, the TC will run again, in real time and is not necessary stop the car.

    Usually, I disconnect ABS when driving downhill with mud, ice, or snow, because the ABS is a bit stupid and a lot dangerous in these situations. But when we drive up, the TC is a very good aid, only if the trail don’t have one meter holes or one meter stones.

    However, in extreme situations, the TC is like a rich uncle in Australia (I live in Spain), It’s useless
