Thread: TD5 Rough Idle...

look also for oil and crud getting past the intercooler/egr that might have deteriorated the workability of the pressure sensor on the inlet manifold.

Glow plug on the blink...............????

Id say it could be the oil in the harness too. I changed mine last week and its not too hard to do. If you clean the plug properly you could see if it improves as a test

Unlikely to be gow plugs. They dont really need them in England let alone over here.

Is it chipped just out of interest?

Crank position sensor maybe. Mine failed at 13k miles but in that case it was high revs rather than tickover.....

Start with the known issue which you seem to have, No point chasing other things until you rule out the obvious!

Cheers

Yeah glowplugs wouldnt matter, I never let them warm up anyway .. and it starts first turn ..

Oil is my thought .. sigh .. will fix it when I get back .. I also get high idle .. always been like that .. maybe it will fix that too

What did you flush the line with .. ?

Thanks again!

I used a mineral turps but it seemed to affect the seals so be warned...... Remove the orange ecu plug seals if you use it. You cant remove the seals from the plug on the injector loom end... If you leave it for a while it seems to revert back to its original size.

Brake cleaner seems to also be a popular choice.

Couple of pics below to maybe remove some of the worry of taking the top off the engine:

Remove cover. 3 bolts. place aside



Remove all bolts holding top cover (easiest to remove the rear sound deadneing cover also)



Lift off cover



Unclip injectors

Push plug out of front of engine upwards. (fairly easy)

Refit

etc!

Hope this helps

Thanks for this ... where did you get your new harness from ? and how much ?

Also did you need to replace the seal / gasket ?

Thanks heaps!

Hi Cameron,

I got the seal and loom from my local Land Rover Dealer.

Loom, pt Number: AMR6103: $134.38+GST
Rocker seal, (there are 2 types) mine was the earlier ERR7094: $69.77+GST

Cheers
