SupporterOH! ... and be very very very careful getting those small allen head bolts off at the exhaust port.Originally Posted by Mclaren00
If you much the head up on those allen heads .. you'll spend the rest of eternity wishing you hadn't ever heard of Landrover!
Brother mangled one of his, and the only way I could extract it was to tack weld an old allen bit onto it.

I have the heat exchanger on mine so was going to blank it on that rather the manifold as I’ve seen the horror stories hahahaOH! ... and be very very very careful getting those small allen head bolts off at the exhaust port.

SubscriberThe holes in the manifold go right through so you can squirt wd40 or similar in the back.
I approached mine with trepidation but they came out like a dream.
I just sandwiched my blanking plate between the hose and manifold so that at a cursory glance it all looks stock.

SupporterYeah, we did that too, removed the cooling unit and placed the blanking plate on the end of the pipe connected to the exhaust side.
Lasted about a month or so before the pipe fractured due to it not being supported by the cooling unit, and just hanging there.
So I'd recommend remove the entire the pipework and blank the exhaust manifold .. just be 101% sure that when you inset the allen key tool, that it's dead straight in the bolt head.
That's all that brother did wrong .. angled tool into bolt head and killed the allen bolt.

SupporterSounds like bad CPS signal. Clean the connections, check wiring for integrity.
The CPS signal must be very Clear and distinct in order for the ECM to calculate precise firing.
The waveform returned to the ECM must be almost perfect - see the trace attached.
If you cannot find an issue with the wiring/ termination then you should take it to a workshop with an oscilloscope to crosscheck the waveform against a good known waveform - a good workshop has access to a worldwide database. Any othe prognostication on your issue is just that and not evidence. Some clear evidence of a good CPS signal would be a good start.
Dont know yr location but we have member at Springwood who can do this - nobbyclrk.

SupporterYeah, to me it seems to be more along the lines of an electrical/electronic problem, considering that the shutting down happens at about 3m:50s consistently, irrespective of load on engine.
ie. hard acceleration or just pootling up to 40k/h .. makes no difference to how long or how this issue comes into play, the problem is exactly the same every time.
I'm thinking if it were HP fuel issue, then under hard acceleration you'd get at least some variance in the time between runs ... even if just a few more or less seconds due to the additional fuel load required when accelerating,(or less fuel load required when pootling at 40k/h).
As said in another thread tho we already have plans to change injector seals(even tho I'm dubious that they're the issue) .. and I want to concentrate on changing one section at a time.
To be honest(and just 100% speculation and guesstimating on my part here) but considering that the issue seems to be dependent more on time than any other variable .. I'm thinking a dud MOSFET or cap in the ECU .. most likely to the fuel pump.
Had the engine idling for 15mins the other day and no problems .. starting(after sitting for about a week and a bit!) .. idling for those 15mins .. or running for 3:50s ... at which point it shut down again.
From reading up on them, the CPS are known to be a potential issue, and it could even be worth just replacing it just for the peace of mind(preventative measure kind'a thing)

SupporterHi Arthur,
We are thread drifting a little here. PM me - no problems.
Just for all others with TD5 - I think you said that cylinder balance becomes erratic prior to the shutdown. Start your diagnosis with integrity of input signal prior to suspecting ECM. Reason being is that there are more things upstream of the ECM that have probable mode failure.
1. Has the CPS been disturbed - was work done in that area recently?
2. Is the connection at the CPS imprenated with diesel or oil.
3. The CPS wire is a shielded cable to protect the cleanliness of the waveform returned to the ECM - is this outer sheath damaged anywhere along its path to the ECM - careless mechanics almost never replace p clamps and this loom rubs on the body - very common as the looms is difficult to relocate when work is done on the fuel cooler or pressure regulator etc. You have to work your way along this wire meticulously in order to completely discard this possiblity.
4. Is the connector to the ECM and its associated pin in good condition - is it impregnated with oil.
Do these 4 items first - it is robust evidence to exclude some items in the chain.
Regarding the injectors - if the seals are compromised you will have diesel in the oil which will show up on a blot test or by smell or sump level increasing.
As with diagnosis - be methodical, gather evidence, avoid the internet guesses or if you are inclined to follow an internet guess make sure you avoid succumbing to confirmation bias - this means you must first look for evidence to disprove any proposed theory rather than first look for less robust evidence that may look like it supports the theory.
I speak from experience - having wasted time and money from internet theories before.
I hope this also gives some direction with such frustrating problems
