I can't answer your question but there are a lot of Land Rover enthusiasts out there who could. I think you could make contact with them by visiting more specialised forums than this one. I suspect a Td5 conversion would benefit the vehicle and yourself if it is possible. I think there will be many small but important differences between the two models and you should do some research to discover what they are and whether it is economic to go ahead. I think just being able to source the Td5 engine will cause many complications, much time and expense. Having a complete donor vehicle at hand is the only satisfactory way to convert two otherwise identical models. This applies just as much when the models aren't identical, even though many brackets and the exhaust system will probably have to be manufactured, wiring modified, space made for the intercooler, electronics changed over or modified and perhaps the original transmission won't be big enough to house the clutch and flywheel. Almost any engine can be fitted to any vehicle but it is rare conversions are simple nut-and-bolt affairs and mostly some engineering is needed. Some conversions are almost entirely engineering. One important thing to remember is it can be difficult to maintain a converted vehicle due to access problems and the difficulty of obtaining spare parts. Specially engineered parts will not be available. Good luck!

Try swapping the left bulb & the right bulb with each other. If the problem migrates with the bulb, then your new bulb is bad. If the problem stays at that corner of the vehicle, then you have an electrical connector issue someplace - probably between the headlights somewhere.

At the moment I am working through testing electrics. Got it down to 4 areas: Light switch - causing short. Dim/ Dip relay or wiring prob. Fog relay prob or worst an alarm ecu problem. Alarm ECU works, I am told, on volt drop activation, but cant see how ECU causes lghts not to go on. So hopefully it is one of the others. At least I will know my electrics inside out after this.

Did you get this fixed? I have the same problem,

You need to use a pressure bleeder.

Hi you can buy little double sided pads to do this but make sure the cab is warm when you fit it.

Alternatively superglue but you will need to hold it in position and tape it up to dry, Pads are the better option. let me know if you need a stockist and I will post you the link.

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can access the bolts that secure the mirror onto the door

Your brake fluid has absorbed some water from the air and when the fluid gets hot, the water vaporizes. Drain the fluid from the master cylinder using a squeeze bottle and a piece of tubing, refill with new fluid from a tightly sealed container, then bleed the brakes.

yes you have a short,a hot wire touching ground or your wiper motor is shorted on the inside

refer to the maintenance manual

if you are quick and good with a wrench you can remove them and then plug it the spot temporarly but you will still make a bit of a mess, but if you really dont want to drain all the oil then yes you can

Check your side shafts first,wear on the drive splines are the most likely cause.Adjustingthe rear diff is quite a tricky procedure and you need to use a dial gauge to measure freeplay on the crownwheel.See what your nearest transmission specialist can do for you , he may give you a warranty on his repair and this will be cheaper in the long run.

Check if the injector pump solonoid is working then , with the ignition on , disconnect the power feed wire on the solonoid situated on top of the injector pump and listen for a clicking sound when you put it back.If it isn't clicking , check if there is power on the wire with a test light.If there is power then your solonoid is faulty.
