Can I just say a huge thank you I’ve spent the last couple of months watching your videos on cylinder head removal and fitting to do my TD5 head gasket and followed it like a script. Finished at the weekend and it runs great snd I really couldn’t have done it without your video Thanks again 👍👍👍

Excellent video. Next week I will face the same challenge with TD5 10p engine.

It must be a huge relief that it’s all back together. Good job. New head is nice and shiny!!! Keep the faith

Brilliant video - very professional with lots of detail!

This is a great video series, thanks for taking the time to share your work.

Thank you for your td5 vids. I've just undertaken my 1st td5 headswap and your videos where perfect for explaining how to do it. My customers td5 now runs like a dream.

Well you were right it is easy we had a head swap due to previous owner snapping 3 out of 10 exhaust studs on the finish line now just the little bits to do now . I sat and re watched your 3 videos all week before we made a start and yes it's easy

Great job 👏 saved me a lot of time for internet search 👍

Very, very interesting and superbly informative.... The best TD5 vids I've found... Well done! .... But I'd be sure to slice my hand on the camshaft location drill bit! 😂😂😂

Thank you very much for such an informative instructional video. Great help!

This is one great video. Excellent.

Brilliant, great vid well done...

Good job well done

nice job

Just watched all three videos a second time to end.....I am confident of doing Td5 head too (new AMC head from Turner Eng).....my Defender has done a lot of miles and the head has been off and skimmed previously. My understanding is that the Td5 head can only be skimmed once. I have no means or access to a workshop to get the head checked for cracks, so a new head was the rout I chose.......I am nervous about doing the job and still have that "scary" feeling as you did. The scariest part for me is torqueing down the head bolts 90, 180 then 45 degrees! All will be the same for me except I need to build a purpose bench on wheels to lower the head onto after pushing the Landy back out the way. I am on my own so will use a block and tackle for removal and re-fitting......like you, I am awaiting a few additional parts to go with the head gasket set I already have from Turner Eng. Great informative videos and what a perfect easy listening voice you have too! Cheers, Jon

Great video and clearly explained! Replacing the head gasket within the next month - did you ever edit the video just for the head gasket replacement?

At 26:00 mins you wind the cam onto full lift of the rocker, you then adjust the tappet until contact with the valve is made, then wind off one turn, this surely means that the cam/rocker, adjustment is without purpose as it will achieve nothing in operation, could you please explain it's function.

I have past experience replacing head gaskets on many petrol engines. Very nervous about attempting my Td5 head gasket which is leaking and pressurising the coolant. Found your videos today and they are truly quality. I will definitely be doing myself, I already have the Turner Engineering gasket kits. One question - where did you purchase the new exhaust studs and brass nuts as I'd like to replace same? I do not have the means or access to specialist for determining whether the head is cracked or warped. It has been skimmed once by Land Rover some years back and I understand that the heads cannot be skimmed twice? Anyhow, I have already had my eyes on the AMC head from Turner, so may well just plump for that option too. I shall be re-looking at your videos a number of times. ps. you are right on the Haynes manual where you have too sort through the Tdi and Td5 differences - a bit of a pain. I also have the Land Rover manuals, but are difficult to wade through....Cheers, Jon

Oil in the coolant again! I have a good 200 TDI motor, will it bolt up to the TD5 gearbox??

Hi friends,you are so goid ,I have questions,,Is cylinder head with pipe of return diesel outside is the same like the one without outside?are they also have the same gasket,,,I head there is P10 and P 16 is this true?

Brilliant timing as I am about to tackle this job and great video! Just wondering how many miles are on the car?

Hi! new subscriber from Canada and new owner of a 2002 TD5. Congratulation for the quality of your videos. I noticed that your fuel pump was noisy. Myne is also noisy and I am wondering if it is typical of a TD5. We don't have a lot of Defender around here to compare with so I was curious if I have to replaced it.

Did your TD5 have plastic or steel plugs originally fitted, I have a 2002 2A626857 Defender and I think it should have steel dowels but not sure. I have not had any cylinder head issues as yet and hope I don't in future. Great video very informative, thankyou.

Can you explain how you ensure the top sprocket for the timing chain gets bolted down at the correct position in relation to the piston positions. Thanks

Can I ask about the Wurth exhaust studs you are using. did ypu put spacers in between the manifold and the nuts? If so, what size were they ?

Out of curiosity, which manual are you using for the engine maintenance works on the td5?

Excellent job! Do you know why it cracked the head, or did that happen before you owned it?

Hi great video. Just about to do rings, big end, head etc. 180000miles on mine so really just doing it for a freshen up as shes starting to blow by a bit. How do you asses if the timing chain and sprockets need replacing? Or at that mileage i should just do it regardless? Thanks

Great video !!! I think I will use it to swap mine. By the way, is it a 10p or a 15p engine version ? Mine is a 10p and it looks very similar... Thx

Come si fa a mettere nella giusta posizione l’albero a camme rispetto al primo cilindro in modo che gli iniettori siano pronti a dare gasolio nella giusta sequenza? Grazie per la risposta

theres adjustment in the cam sprocket, how did you install that?

Great Videos. By chance did you observe how much Torque on your your torque wrench at the 90 180 and 45 degree sequences?

Great videos you keep sharing with us all your experience thank you so much mate 🙏😊 May me asking you please if you can Help !
