Hi Henrik,
No problem happy help. I actually fitted a security switch to the fuel pump inertia switch which is under the bonnet next to the airfilter, see photo. I have a hidden switch in the cab so I can turn the pump off for added security. However, according to the site I referenced before fuze F4 in the underseat fuel box is for the pump. But I have never used this, but just pull it a listen to see if pump stops. You could try pulling the plug of the inertia switch, but I am not 100% if it is a normally open or closed circuit. But its only 2 wires so it will be one or another, I would expect normally closed.
Dont forget new copper washers on the turbo oil feed banjo bolts x 2 each.
Hope that helps.
Hello Henrik,
My recommendation would be to remove the centrifugal oil filter housing and the feed hose and give the hose a good clean. As its so close to the exhaust manifold (Bad design) they can suffer from deposit build ups in the pipe. This is why I change mine. Notice I put some new heat shielding on the new pipe. The housing has 2 long and 1 short bolt into the head, one little tap with a rubber mallet and it came off. You can just see the O ring in the photo below, it lives in a recess in the head. Its the hole with the kitchen towel sticking out. Be careful with the torque of the bolts (25nm) and the oil feed (19nm) and drain hoses (25nm) only, its alloy to steel bolts. See extract from manual below. As mentioned I did not fit a gasket to the housing, non was fitted. However I did put a very thin smear of CTV sealant. Thin as I did not want any squeezing into the turbo oil system. I find this site good for diagrammes and torque settings https://www.lrworkshop.com/torque-specifications-settings/land-rover-defender-1996
Before I connected the pipes I turned the engine over with the fuel pump switched off, I put a plastic bottle on the feed pipe end and turned the engine it over a few times until I got a good feed and dont forget to add oil directly into the turbo bearing and turn it over by hand.
Good luck : )

Sorry I was being a bit thick, you have to remove the centrifugal filter housing, if you are changing the feed pipe. 3 bolts hold it to the head and 2 nuts to the drain pipe. You are suposed to change the body o ring, but I didnt have one so put a tiny bit of gasket sealant on it.
Take it slow it will be fine.

HI Henrik,
I had the same issue with mine, with the oil feed and drain pipe not reaching. In the end what I did was lossen the body bolts and rotate them a little.You can see from the photo the marks showing how much i rotated the body. In my opinion the important thing is the actuator lines up and moves smoothly. I tested it with air hose. I also fitted uprated hoses see below.
Good luck

Henrik,
I bit the bullet and purchased and induction heater from Biltema. Crazy expsensive, but its works great, only heats up the offending nut or bolt.
Cheers Michael
Hi Henrik,
Just take it step by step, follow the instructions that come with the turbo. If you dont have them let me know I can send them. I flushed the engine oil, then changed it and the filters again after 150 kms.
One tip, put balloons over the oil feed and drain pipes as soon as you disconnect from old turbo, to stop any dirt getting in while fitting.
Good luck.

Hi Håkan,
I am a Brit, in lower Northern Sweden, near Kramfoss. Everything is a long dive from here… I am will not drive, if they do a good job : )

Hi Tony,
Had a similar problem with my Defender TD5 90. Is the fluid in the clutch reservoir really dark, like it has aluminium paste in it? Can you see bubbles appearing when you operate the clutch? If so I suggest your master cylinder is on its way out. See photo attached, this was how mine looked, I cut it in half to see what had gone wrong. The piston had worn into the cylinder and fluid was leaking past the seals down the pedal.
It is possible to change the master cylinder without removing the pedel housing but I had to bend a ratchet spanner to get to the bottom nut. See photo of tools I needed.
Good luck

Hi Anders,
I recommend you contact Bermach or Paddock and give them your Vin number. There are many types https://www.paddockspares.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=drop+arm
I always check and they are very helpful. I am just waiting for the pulling tool to change my Pitman arm, upgrading to heavy duty steering.
Good luck getting the old arm off, I tried repeatedly! Ordered the special tool in the end https://www.paddockspares.com/steering-drop-arm-puller.html
This is it in use https://youtu.be/hMidfOKfhI0If you just need to change the joint, see here. https://youtu.be/94iq-ySCxC4

Hi Henrik,
So the last post on this turbo story. Test drive went well. Much better pick up. After checking the old turbo I think it was on its last legs.
All the Best Michael

Hi Henrik,
I am just waiting for some steering parts tomorrow, then I will take her for a test drive. Its a bit worrying having done so many jobs at the same time, something has to leak or fall off.
The breather pipe is from Allisport https://www.allisport.com/shop/performance-products/hose-kits/engine-breather-hoses/discovery-td5-engine-breather-hose-blue/ However, LMR SE do a lot of stuff, so you may well find something that would do the job, https://www.l-m-r.se/m/do88.html
I know exactly how far you are from me, as I brought my Landy near Lund, went down on my motor bike, then put it on a trailer and drove back, it was a long drive…
May be I will take a tour over to UK next year, spare parts trip : ) Will look you up.Now to try and get the drop arm off the steering box.
Cheers Michael
