This is not my first defender but I decided to take the leap and go for a TD5 (the others have been 200 and 300 tdi).
Problem No.1
When driving in any gear, full throttle causes the engine to stutter or judder. I have no idea where to start with this problem. Any advice welcome and needed!
Problem No.2
Going well today on a trip to the coast. Doing 60 in 5th gear p a long hill on the motorway when suddenly the temp shoots right up and off the scale!
Pull over to fine the underside of the bonnet and top of the drivers side wing covered in oily water and a large v shaped split in the hose coming from the water tank.
The cap of the water tank had a small amount of mayo on it which i'm guessing is going to be bad news for me. No mayo on the top of the oil cap though.
It has done 133500 miles and has been serviced regularly. I have only had it a few days and this is just the start of the problems!
Any advice please chaps..
Matt.
