    Cool Changing the clutch in a TD5..the easy way

    We had a slipping clutch in RED 130 so a clutch change has to be done

    Blknight was here for the ceremony

    Pics are easy to see what happened





























    All was done on Friday night, Sat Morn turned out to be the flywheel not the clutch that was slipping so replaced both.....I had to do family things and said goodbye around 1000hrs on Sat...I will be finished in an hour...famous last words...when I got back @ 1500hrs Dave was still herewhats happened to the truck...the clutch plate was put in backwards...It appears it can take 4 hrs to retake out a TD5 motor and reinstall it if you have to and running fine in the end

    thanks Dave for helping

    I know this is a little off topic but you have two things I am interested in there.

    1) seem to be using the old EGR cooler as a (water) heater(?)

    and ...

    2) Electric fan (done away with the viscose unit)

    Could you direct me to any information on these mods? it would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    ian.

    no mods, EGR cooler was removed as part of the clutch change (the EGR is long gone)

    the fan on the front is the thermo fan for the AC condenser

    OK I see. I just thought it odd that the EGR cooler was still connected to the exhaust manifold when the EGR unit had obviously been taken off - thought it must have been left there for a purpose. The fan thing may explain why my AC has never worked.

    Hi Dave My 99 td5 defender 130 has not got an electric fan on the aircon, is this normal or has it been removed. I have thr radiator and intercooler out for cleaning at the moment and was curious as to why it has not got one. Cheers Dave

    the egr cooler wasnt removed as the owners were a little unsure on how to reroute the coolant and they snapped their allen key trying to seperate the erg pipe off of the exhaust manifold. while the engine out both problems were easlily solved. Yes, you can turn the EGR cooler into a limited water heater(using the same technique as a glind unit) you leave it hooked up to the cooling system and then circulate the water you want heated through the exhaust portion. As the EGR sits on an angle a top fill water resivior placed on the passangers side under the wing could be setup to convection cycle water through the EGR cooler. Smart cookies would also run the outlet side up over the exhaust manifold for extra heat.

    Theres 2 styles of AC, Factory and aftermarket, both look similar but vary in build. I suspect that you may have the aftermarket unit so dont have the factory fan(s) Its not hard to retro fit the fans but Im a much bigger fan of pulling out the AC and turning the compressor to an endless air unit.

    Thanks Dave thought that might be the case. I dont turn it on verry often, find the vents under the screen do a great job.
    Cheers Dave

    gotta tell ya I felt like a right retard...

    did dads about 4 weeks earlier and got it right and my first ever td5 pull was for exactly that a non releasing clutch that (surprise surprise) had the friction plate in backwards.
