    TD5- what are they like?

    Are there any problems with the td5 motor in the Discovery II? Are they as reliable as the TD4 Discovery I?

    And can anyone inform me what landrover was used by the government at the expo 88 brisbane.

    I think they're good. Better than the older diesels, not as good as most of the newer ones.

    I haven't seen a worn out Td5 yet, they are a very robust engine. The Bicentenary Landies were V8 County 110's converted to dual cab and a short tray with a turntable for the 5th wheel trailers.

    Better than the newer engines too.

    that being common rail there could be problems
    AFAIK TD5s are not common rail but "Unitary injection".

    Common rail has a pump providing high pressure fuel to a "common rail" and injectors, whereas TD5 sends low pressure fuel to each injector which pressurises the fuel using the camshaft as a pump with duration controlled by a "spill valve" operated by the computer.

    Regards Philip A

    TD5 isn't common rail

    The TD5 has individual electronic unit injectors; one for each cylinder. This was a stepping stone between mech and crd injection.look at this url for more info. http://www.landroverclub.net/Club/HTML/Td5engine.htm

    The Td5 in my 110 is the best engine I've ever had in any type of car.
    they have a few minor issues but very easy to deal with compared to problems encountered with other engines.

    I pulled the sump on mine to do the oil pump bolt at 125k (one of the minor issues) and i could not believe how surgically clean it was inside, just as if I'd pulled the sump on a brand new engine.

    The fuel economy is as good as my wifes Holden Barina and the performance easily as good as my old V8 90.

    I'm certainly hooked.
