dead td5 what to replace with

flyfish1 at least you got 270ks out of yours I only got 146k out of my
2000 130. Went great while it was going, $$$ to fix when it went wrong..

I replaced mine with a rover 4.6 & auto & never looked back as far as
being reliable goes, is a little thirsty when pushed but I know I'll get
home. Put it on lpg now so its cheaper to run.

Some places are suitable for putting a spear point down to get water - often not great depths. Behind most beaches/dunes for example.

I knew someone who used take one with him - I first saw him use it on Fraser Island many years ago.

I'll have a guess....

my 3 primary suspects are (in no particular order at this stage)

1. the oil cooler developed a leak and transfered all of the coolant OR the oil into the other. either seizing or over heating the engine and killing it. (this will be the 5th I have heard of dying this way and 1 witnessed but it was saved by prompt operator "WTF?")

2. A replaced hose was not perfectly routed and has rubbed through OR has not been correctly clamped and has blown out (witnessed 1, heard of 3 others) the motor has then overheated

3. The sneaky hose everyone forgets under the #4 exhaust port has been forgotten one too many times and has let go, the motor then overheats (witnessed 1 failure that was saved by operator attention, 1 that bulged but was caught before failure in a routine service and one that failed after shutdown and was caught during the operator walkaround)

thanks for these pointers Dave....

that kind of info can be really valuable

I wonder if we'll ever find out what (if anything ;)) actually went wrong with flyfish's

Ah, I get it. I never would have thought of that all on my own. Very clever! I want to build a trailer next year with some slide on-slide off modules. Looks like I'll need to add a drilling rig to that too!

Sooooo . . . I wonder what went wrong with that TD5? You know, that engine mentioned on page one here?

I still miss my Isuzu and would love to fit one to the 130 with a six speed Isuzu box, but it would cost me WAY more than upgrading to a late model low K well maintained TD5 130

I still miss my Isuzu County too :-))

well not realy 1 TD5 + 1 TD5 = 1 Isuzu LOL

wow 140k is pretty poor , mine was mostly country ks and it was perfect when it was going, I have taken the advice of some of the members and have opted for another td5 from a fairly low km late model disco so I should have my car back in a few weeks. I took the dog for a run up at moore river north of Perth this morning and I did not know how lucky I was before till I saw how uncapable compared to my 130 the navara stx is. there really is only one four wheel drive, I have had landys since 1994 and I would not dream of anothing else, even taking oil leaks medeocre ergonomics and enything else on the downside, when you need a real 4x4 its the defender every time.

the 4th conrod bearing was the problem, and no one can say why , the rest of the motor was like new, just unlucky I guess.
