First time seeing your video. I think it was more helpful than many others. Thank you so much.

What an absolutely fantastic tutorial video. Your English is excellent too. 👍👍👏👏

After owning my '01 Defender for 5 years, there isn't much I wouldn't/haven't tackled. I'm at the same spot you were a year or so ago, diesel leaking into the oil. the surfaces of the injector locations are "knackered" (as some would say) so it's a new head. Watching this.....I'm thinking I can do it. Appreciate the videos.....and I even more appreciate that you're not getting too frustrated with spending $$$ on the rig! That's the hardest part.

Enjoyed watching your videos.

Brilliant, very informative step by step guide. Will be continuing with mine today. Thank you, your English is better than my Swedish :)

Regarding the home made flywheel lock on the bell housing, I struggled to find the hydraulic fitting referenced in Haynes at short notice. However an 8mm microbore straight compression fitting is almost identical and has the right thread size, combined with an 8mm drill bit this works a treat. Screwfix / tool station always have them in stock in branch. Simply bore out the centre with the same 8mm drill bit you’re planning to use, mark on the drill bit how deep it needs to go in order to lock, screw either of the male ends of the compression fitting into the bell housing, gently knock the drill bit into place with a hammer, and if you want you can use the nut and olive from the compression fitting to lock the drill bit in place.

Very informative with great detail 👍🏻

Great job! 💪🏻💪🏻 Already looking forward to watch the next videos!!

Skitbra och supertydligt! Snart dags för mig att göra det här jobbet. Stort tack!

Very helpful! Just adopted a friend’s disco 2 after it failed the MOT, found some rust holes and a pressurising cooling system. Pretty much resigned to head off and inspect but not in a rush 🤞 it’s not cracked! Useful to see one stripped, thanks!

great timing, just started mine today, your video is very helpful!

Excellent video looking forward to the next two

I hit the subscrive button straight away ... Good luck

This video is the holy grail. Thank you!!!

Haynes manual is great! Have RAVE, but a hardcover book is so much better! Great video series - excellent work - love the detail!

Your videos are very helpful and informative. Thank you. Subscribed

Fantastic work !!!

Thank you man. You helped me a lot 👌 greeting from Germany

Amazing Content! I just assembled my TD5 head using the videos from the channel, my TD5 is filling up the cylinders with diesel, copper washers are new, it happens to all 5 cylinders, it works for a couple of minutes and then cut off/hydrolock.

Great video.

Nice video sport..I’ve got a fastest job on mine in a month[hopefully nothing more]..nice refresher as they can be intimidating

Good video dude! I’ll be doing my disco 2 td5 head gasket next weekend.

Nice job👍 When you are tightening the head bolts, make sure the socket is 90 degrees to the bolt head, as they can easily twist off under the torque required

Thanks for showing! I Need garage!

Thanks, I'm doing the head on my Disco 2 TD5 now by following this video, however, did I miss something of did you skip over the part where you remove the injectors and rockers?

Hi good job. Leaving the manifolds on adds considerably to the weight of the head as you found out. When I did mine I was working on my own and so removed as much as possible. Still very heavy. My 15p head was cracked and I went through the same process as you replacing injector seals twice before finally accepting the head was cracked. I replaced the LR head with an AMC head which has now been on longer the the original without any problems. Would throughly recommend you replace the head. I presume the Haynes manual states that you replace the head bolts as these must not be reused. I will continue to watch your progress. If you need any advice please ask, I will try to assist.

Your video is the best out there! Quick question - I want to remove the injectors and overhaul them BEFORE I remove the head. I assume if I have removed the injectors and then have both the locating pin at the timing chain end and then another underneath at the bellhousing BEFORE I remove the timing chain tensioner, then it will be all okay to remove the cylinder head (minus injectors of course)? Once the head is machined it can then be replaced with the new gasket, knowing that the timing will be all good as the relative positioning has been retained by the two pins which have remained in place? Once the timing chain tensioner is back in I can then put the overhauled injectors back in and all should be good? Does that sound correct?

Love your Videos! It’s so much easier removing the cylinder head off a pushrod engine! Why are low revving diesel engines designed with Over Head Cams!?! Chevy V8s can rev to 9000 RPM with Pushrods!! Also pushrod engines are more compact lighter and cheaper to build!

hi very helpful video! do you lift the car to turn the Engine to OT or? I have a Disco 2 with automatic transfer do you know if i just can put the transfer in neutral and then turn the enigen to OT? Greets from Berlin

Hi ! thank you for this very useful video (and all the other you published here). Just a question please about the occurence of some pressure in the head cover. I recently removed my gaz recycling pipe in order to feed the engine with non polluted air. Now I collect the condensed oil in a dedicated tank. However I've seen that there is some kind of pressure from the pipe extracting the aily air form the head cover. It was the same, with the original pipe recylcing the head cover air into the admission pipes just after the turbo. Is this pressure nomal ? It blows like my 12 year orld daughter on her birthday cake candels. Nothing less, nothing more. any comment about that ? issue or normal ? my engine runs perfectly...

another question please. can I remove the head without removing the fuel injector rockers, shaft and the camshaft? Also if I mark the camshaft and chain with paint can i refit the head using these marks if I do nut turn the crankshaft or the camshaft? I'm guessing the tension of the valve springs would most likely turn the cam when I undo the cam chain sprocket...

Excellent!!! Did you finish the later videos (at least two) of this Head Gasket replacement?

How did you diagnose a cracked Cylinder head?

I found the problem! Corrosion on the water passages have eroded into the top of 2 cylinders causing loss of compression and oil going into the cooling system

Damn I hope I dont have to do this but I have been having cooling issues, So mine is a D2 td5 10p, automatic, 4th gear seems quite sluggish and that makes the temp go up, I have replaced water pump and thermostat. on a drive say to the store it wont over heat rides nice at like 87-84, return drive 4th gear she starts to cook acording to nanocom. But normal gauge shows good of course lol, I got no idea anymore, Some say air bubble trapped but Damn, getting frustrating

I am having trouble finding a way to hold the fan pulley to unscrew the nut holding the fan. Are the tools you showed in this video Land Rover tools? Do you have part numbers?

Hey man! What P model is the engine?

👍🏻

I have a good low mileage TDI 200, if I swap it in place of the TD5 can I still get the traction control to work?

Can you oriente me bro?

I have that manual. It's good for the pics. But if you want to know more and have all the info then get RAVE. Oh, and a Nanocom.
