    Advice on Td5 maintenance please

    Careful just putting a kit in the fuel pressure regulator the hose that runs parallel to the head can perish resulting in much weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    Wheel bearings?
    All bearings on the front of the motor.

    Are you loosing coolant under load? 2002 only has plastic dowels on the head.

    Check suspension bushes good shocks are a must

    Maybe replace clutch master and slave

    I usually make up a spare shielded cable from the ECU to the CPS (this is the only sensor that will stop you)

    I would carry a throttle pot and a CPS

    Change the injector harness if it hasn't been done in the last 12 months

    Might be worth putting a switch on the ABS power feed under the drivers seat
    If it decides to play up on the rough roads it can intermittently put the brakes on for you
    Just turn it off if it does

    I have a 2002 TD5 Defender and spent 8 years in the north west so speak from experience

    I also carry a spare of each of the 3 ECUs
    Probably not necessary

    You are in a Land Rover and will really need to be self contained

    Ring All4x4 and they will probably do a spares kit that you can return if unused

    If you are removing the exhaust manifold, there is a small hose under it that is well worth replacing as they get pretty hot. I covered my new hose with foil & wired the foil in place.
    I think it is called an oil cooler hose with different sizes each end from memory.
    Pig of a thing to replace roadside but easy with manifold off.

    I was at a LR workshop today, where the guy was replacing the three welsh plugs on the inlet side. Reason? No proper coolant for some time. So, does your car have the proper coolant, and when was it changed? Those things are pigs to change on ANY car, but proper coolant puts it off for nearly ever.

    If the vehicle hasn't had the right coolant check the oil cooler for corrosion these are a major pain if they let go

    IF it had the wrong coolant and there is evidence of corrosion pull the head as the water galleries come close to the bores in the head and can let go
