    My TD5 had a heart attack, where's a defibrillator???

    Hi everyone, my 2002 TD5 had an oil pump drop a bolt and come to a squealing holt. Unfortunately I wasn't driving at the time with one of the kids L plates on the much loved Defender.


    After lots of phone calls to lots of people I've come to the realization that we live in a throw away society that also throws TD5 engines away instead of fixing them . So getting one is impossible and the alternatives are as far as I can tell are paying 8-9K for a reco or a second hand engine with 250,000 kms . I spoke to Landrover and they sell new ones for 12K but that's a hard pill to swallow.


    Has anyone got any suggestions?? Motors that would fit etc?


    380,000 kilometres and out shone any work horse I've ever had. Maybe its time for a new horse but my daughter wants that one


    Cheers

    Try giving TRS a call in Adelaide for a second hand motor.

    I got one for my D2 off them. Very happy with how it runs.

    Cheers, Chris

    unfortunately Nemo it sounds like your TD5 didn't have a shockable rhythm, so the defibrillator wouldn't have been of any use.

    Sorry for your asystole and therefore loss, sounds like the only treatment is a heart transplant.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Nothing more stable than the isoelectric line.

    However sometimes it's not true asystole, but pulseless electrical activity (PEA)

    Geez I'm slow!

    This was a trick question!

    A TD5 is a diesel, a defibrillator will only work on a petrol engine because the diesels run on a compression ignition cycle not via an electrical impulse spark (that could be rectified by a defibrillator).

    Yes a diesel but with an ECU so it could be a generalised seizure, perhaps consider some anticonvulsants
