any body know anything about LR TD5 engins

[Tyz05]

HI MATE we had the fuel pump go on our one it was not making a noise on our old td5 we had to take out the tank or let down there no plate inside 90 on floor but I'm told the pumps go a lot on td5 thanks jon

 

Yeah right pain to do on defenders,they look a bit like the flux capacitor off back to the future car lol.

yes it is the yelow relay under the seat thats buzzing. im almost certain its an electrical problem something to do with starting the engine as there are no problems once its running. but even if its just been running and i turn off the engine and try to restart it it wont go. i think some thing is shorting out or not making a connection.

yes dude thats the one that is Clicking/Buzzing just found out the bloke down the street is an ex Mod Mechanic so he is gonna have a look tomorow night.

 

oh how i hope its just a relay.

Splinters, I know you are hoping its only the relay.............

 

BUT, if it starts ok with a new one, get the loom changed anyway! The oil you mentioned (that you cleaned off the plug) should not be there! Cleaning the oil fom it will nnot cure it. If the oil reaches the ecu it will blow it and thats expensive.

 

Changing the loom may seem an expense, but cheaper than a new ecu.

HI mate oil in the loom happens a lot on td5 its one thing to look out for when getting one and like 18 said if it gets in E C U that will cost jon

Thats the first place I would look, take the loom plug off the ecu and check for oil, the loom runs inside the rocker cover and damaged looms pick up oil.
