Hi Benjamin,
Sounds like the clutch, has the take up changed. I had it happen twice, once with a cheap master cylinder blowing out and the second time the nuts had come lose on the adjustment piston. Also as the other say try bleeding the clutch air can cause also types of issues.
Good luck
sorry for English. have you had the hubs off or been driving in deep mud? i had to tinker with my sensors gaps, also if mud get behind the hub it can cause issues. i also noticed the rear ABS cable was getting chaffer between the fuel tank and diff. do you have an OBD it should indicated which ABS sensor is unhappy.
Hi,
Have you been fording in mud recently? It can cause issues when it gets behind the disk. As Johannes says also try adjusting the sensor, tap it in a little, but do it with the wheel off so you can rotate the disk and make sure the sensor is not touching the agitator ring. Also check the sensor cable it may have been damaged. If you have a diagnostic tool also check the error codes. Sometimes disconnecting the battery and rebooting the ECU can do wonders.
Thanks my advice anyway.
Wow, OK that is not good at all. In that case check the turbo feed and drain pipes. I know its the wrong side but its amazing how oil gets blown back. My crankshaft seal was completely blown, but was not spilling that much.
Hi Emil,
Are you sure its oil and not diesel or both. I chased my tail as it turned out to be both. There are lots of forum discussions just search TD5 oil leaks.
My recommendations would be:a. Use UV oil trace first to pinpoint the leak, or as I did you may spend time and money for no good reason.
b. Likely leak areas back of rocker gasket near half moon seal, and a little sealant and new gasket, while your in there I would change the injector loom, as it will start leaking into ECU connector.
c. Front cam inspection bung, simply replace or add a little blue seal.
d. Mine turned out to be a combination of the diesel regulator mixed in with a shot crank shaft seal, not a cheap or easy fix.All the Best Michael
Hi Emil,
Having had many leaks, oil, coolant and diesel on my TD5 when first purchased I know your pain. By far the best way of tracking is a UV detection kit, you can get for oil and water. Give the offending area a really good clean, add the UV trace and check with UV torch.
As Thomas mentions, I found a fuel leak from the fuel regulator at back of engine, real pain to get to. Oil leaks from the back of the rocket cover, and the main one was the crank seal, big job. Coolant was also leaking as the water pump was gummed up with calcium as someone had been using tap water in the coolant.
Below is a link to the type of trace kit, I have no association with this company, I just pulled from the tinterweb.
Cheers Michael
LOL, Land Rover and reliable is not something you hear often. I have spent a lot on my TD5 90 since I purchased in Oct 2019. Its less maintenance and more a process of gradual renewal : )
This us a useful presentation by Mercedes-Benz https://www.mbusa.com/vcm/MB/DigitalAssets/pdfmb/serviceandparts/biodiesel_Brochure5.pdf
They describe the following down sides of using BiOs, So regular fuel filter and oil changes may help.
Examples of damage that can be caused by the use of biodiesel fuel
include the following:
• Clogging of fuel filter caused by soaps, which may be formed by
biodiesel components such as products of aging or products due to
production shortcomings, which may contaminate biodiesel blends.
• Clogging of fuel filter due to the growth of microbes in free water
containing biodiesel blends.
• Fuel gelling under cold climate conditions, because biodiesel may
have poor cold flow properties depending from the feedstock and
because additives in biodiesel and conventional diesel are sometimes
incompatible.
• Corrosion and sticking of low-and-high pressure fuel system
components such as pumps and injectors, especially after a long
storage period of the vehicle, due to the formation of sticky polymers
and acids during biodiesel aging/oxidation.
• Sludge formation in engine oil due to the formation of biodiesel aging
products.
• Deposit formation on piston rings, oxygen sensors and exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) system parts.Hi Stefan,
That is reassuring, once the price of B7 exceeds HVO100, which will be soon, I guess I will switch over. I will change the filter and may be flush the pipes.
All the Best Michael
i am very concerned that when we are forced to use HVO100 it will damage the fuel system. I say forced as the current price of HVO100 is more than B7 but I have heard talk of B7 going up to 40SEK/Lt. Below are photos of the jelly gunk that destroyed by pump and regulator, this from using B7. I have started using HVO100 in the diesel heater as it does not smell on start up, but I feel it pushes out less heat.

Hi Jens,
I like to use green stuff, they are a bit more expensive but have better stopping power. https://www.paddockspares.com/land-rover-performance-parts/braking/ebc-green-stuff-pads.html
