Landrover defender td5 Dec 2002
Messages 1 to 7 of 7.
did the ealier td5 engines suffer any particular engine problems? , I know the freelander did. My partner and I have a Landrover Defender td5 and are having some expensive problems with this car, however we have not heard of any thing bad about this particular model, ours was first registered Dec 2002 and has completed 77000 miles, can any one help with our enquiry, many thanks.

No there is nothing major which has happened to the Td5 like what has happened to the kseries headgasket problems . Thing that do stand out are - the oil pump gear bolts came loose and lost oil pressure . Cylinder head configurations are complicated with high pressure fuel lines within the head , these can cause probs , leak and fill the sump up with diesel . Injector faults . Turbo faults . Engine management faults . Can you tell me what has happened to yours

regards Landrover defender td5 engine at 77.000 miles, we have discovered that one of the con rod bolts was loose which caused the engine to seize-up, we are having the crank checked by an independant engineer to see if the crank can be saved. As far as the engineer can tell so far, the oil-ways were not blocked up which would I think confirm that the con-rod bolt was indeed loose. Generally speaking the materials used for the td5 engine seems to be of poor qaulity, the design is not good, the old series 3 engines were much better, what are Landrover up to? JRW

This is an extremely uncommon problem with this engine , the engine is general is a good engine , i have had very little mechanical problems in 6 yrs of experience with this engine . There maybe an underline problem which has resulted in the problem ......... hope they get to the bottom of it .
