Thread: A few D2 issues...fuel filter

Welcome to AULRO.COM

Our "Good Oil" Forum is required reading for TD5 owners,,

and after that---

search on
TD5 water filter,
and
TD5 fuel in the oil,

the second could be important,,






not that I take much notice of TD5 problems---

Hi danprowse

Welcome to the forum. There is a lot of info in THE GOOD OIL.

Small oil leak from sump. Oil is full, overfilled if anything. Might be a good idea to check oil daily weekly to be sure it’s not making oil. Have a read of this link: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/good-oil/1...-fuel-oil.html

Oil leak could be coming from the oil filter behind the turbo, sometimes they are only put on finger tight as they are not the easiest to get too..

The rest is as Pedro said..Happy searching/reading..


Cheers Ean

Welcome aboard.
OIL LEAK. Remove the engine cover(4 bolts) check rocker cover gasket,especially at the back of the motor,EASY FIX.As suggested re-tension oil filter,they do come loose on the TD5.Also check the oil pressure sender(down behind turbo).

FUEL FILTER LIGHT.Ignore,they are faulty and were later deleted,only need to check for water if it stays on.

RATTLE.Loose baffle??? rattles are hard to diagnose over the internet

GLOVEBOX. Member Bundalene(Erich) wrecks D2s,Im sure he can help you out,Erich is a nice bloke,very helpfull.
Enjoy the D2,seriously consider upgrading the ECU(if its not already done),turns a nice vehicle into a great vehicle.Mine too is a 99 manual,the difference is amazing.

ENJOY THE D2.
They are great vehicles.

Only have 2 things to add to this.

If the oil drips onto the driveway and eventually gets worse, then it will probably need to be addressed, if not I wouldn't bother about it, it's a Land Rover after all

The water in fuel light can be solved by buying a new sensor, they are cheap and easy to replace, unscrew the old one off the fuel filter and screw the new one on
