Hi same answer as above just wanted to say that's a nice clean engine bay unlike mine Bob

Hi greasing uj's today and noticed starter motor covered in diesel so looked at pressure reg and it's leaking so do I replace with genuine or pattern part Gut feeling is genuine but are the cheaper ones any good Any suggestions thanks. Bob

Hi that short wire is not an earth it's the main feed from solenoid to starter armechaur When you cross it did you use the two threaded terminals if so don't Use the one the battery bolts to and there should be a little spade terminal just above them and cross them together less sparks that way If that works your problem lies in the wiring or ignition switch Personally I would bench test starter motor /with jump leads put black one to body of motor red one to bat terminal on solenoid then With a short peace of wire cross between bat terminal to that spade one if alls good it should spin up hope this helps. Bob

Hybrid wear is there one for sale

Posted In wrong forum but thanks for quick answer muddy Bob

Hi I have a a front diff that's not got long to live so I am looking for replacement diff have it reconditioned at a comercial transmission place I know So my question is what spline diff do I have 10 or 24 2002 defender 110 utility td5 everything is original so if any body know what splines I'm likely to have that would be great thanks Bob

Hi I would say you have an earth problem try putting a wire from starter body to battery neg. If that works clean up the original engine to chaise/engine to battery earths hope this helps Bob

Hi jameshub have you sorted this out yet just wondering Bob

Hi I'm not 100%but I think the rocker cover gasket is different on a10p to a15 p so which fits yours would tell you Bob

Hi sometimes the old seal can ware a slight grove on the crank so new seal does not seat properly and it mite bed it's self in but what I've dune in the past is to just tap the seal slightly out of its housing to give it a fresh place to sit Not dune this on a td5 but dune it tractors and it's worked 9/10 of the time Not saying it is this hopefully it's just a bit of carp stuck in between seal and crank as suggested above Bob

It's possible piston rings gummed up / valve guide seals/ head gasket more than likely piston rings if it's a high mileler try changing oil good quality run for 200 miles or so and change again it will take a bit of time but changing oil often will help

K seal or any other seal is just a bodge to sell on if you want keep Landy don't use it can you confirm what you've replaced so far because if rad/w pump /thermostat is new and hoses are good and you've flushed heater matrix/oil/fuel cooler out with hose pipe it can only be the head I would say it's almost impossible for it to be the block So if the head is of take it to an engine recon place or somewere like that and pressure test it only dye if they can warm it up If it's a 10p engine they are known for cracking 15p not so much Bob

Sorry to hear that but are shore it's the block and not the head because it is very very unusual to be the block Bob

Yes who ever skimed head should of checked fo cracks otherwise like you said it would of been waste of time a sniff test for hydro carbons would awnser that But if it's boiling and steaming there's a blockage or lack of circulation somewaer If it was a crack in would start to pressurise as soon as engine was running Bob

When it pushes coolant out of expansion tank is hot as in steaming if not it could be the cap as suggested by dave88sw if you can not find anything else as last resorte take to old school garage and ask them to check for hydrow carbons in the water (sniff test) if there is none that means your head and it's gasket is fine and your problem lies in the (rad / w pump/ thermostat /hoses/ cap ) unlikely to be fuel or oil cooler more likely cap/ thermostat you can test thermo with boiling water in clear glass by dipping it in to see if it opens and closes properly make shore glass can take hot water as for the cap just get a good seal round it and blow if you can blow though it it's knackerd so replace it other than that I don't know just keep trying things like bleeding and flushing system out Bob
