Thank you Thumbs Up
The first thing when I got her back was a full service lube up and general check over at my mates garage and get the petrol and oil leaks started so I could be happy she was in good order. Then a few weeks was spent sorting the broken trim pieces inside and a bit of a clean out then as the wife and kids are a little short in the leg it was time to get some side steps put on. A brown church roof rack soon followed as I needed the carrying ability to do up a couple of houses.

Ray,

I have read your entire thread, end to end, what a crackin’ read - some great modifications in there that I have taken note of and will no doubt have some questions! I picked up my new (to me) 53 plate TD5 110 two weeks ago, slight upgrade from the 300TDI 90 I had previous. Quick question I wondered if you could help me out with due to the similarities in our trucks. Does your trans temp light ‘bulb test’ when you turn the ignition on? I think I’ve named it correctly, the one with the thermometer in the cog.

Ellis

Hi Ellis, I’ve just been out to check and that light doesn’t light up on ignition. Thumbs Up Ray

Ray, champion, thanks for checking/confirming that for me. I’m pretty sure it says in the owners manual that it should ‘bulb test’ but if yours doesn’t either, it must be normal. I’m not sure if there is even a trans temp sensor on the TD5. Anyway, another question for you - I believe you had the extreme 4x4 lowering springs on and one broke and then you swapped for Brit part springs, correct me if I’m wrong, just wondering how these were working out for you? I want my truck to sit level so opting for a 2” rear and 1” front lower setup. Considering extreme 4x4, Britpart and the Terrafirma ones. Unfortunately the likes of the Alive tuning setup is just a bit too far of a reach for me at the mean time. Currently warming for the Terrafirma ones due to the information supplied by the manufacturer regarding spring rate and suitable use that others seem to not supply or know. However, I’m struggling to find any reviews of them on the web. I believe the part numbers are TF035 and TF032 and they seem similarly priced to the Britpart ones so a fair chunk cheaper than the Extreme ones. So I suppose my questions are do you prefer the britpart to extreme springs? Do you know anything about the Terrafirma ones? Also, is it just a case of swapping the springs or is there additional parts required to change at the same time? Appreciate any advice you can give!

Possibly not... Yesterday I had 2 fault codes come up on my Nanocom, when I asked a mate, the 'mentioned' faults are not on my truck.

Hi, the extreme front ones both snapped and although we have bad roads around here they shouldn’t have broken so soon. The Brit part ones I replaced them with have been fine but haven’t been on that long so I can’t comment on lifespan. They feel reasonably comfortable but I have added spring isolators too. 2 inch at the back and 1 at the front should level a 110 out Thumbs Up Ray

Ray, spot on, thanks for your reply. I think I’ll steer clear of the extreme ones, need to decide between the Britpart and Terrafirma ones. Might go for the latter and then between us we can have tested both sets. I’ll let you know how I get on!

Shock absorber wise, have you continued to use standard height shocks without experiencing premature failure or poor operation? Alternatively, is there a specific brand you know of that is best with lowered springs and not extortionately priced?

Finally, other than isolators, is there anything else that needs to/should be changed at the same time?

Thanks again

I used standard height dampers but old man emu ones which are great although quite expensive. If your changing the springs and shocks you could change spring seats and shock towers to galvanised ones for longevity and have a check around your suspension bushes before you start the job as it’s easier fitting them first time instead of having to strip it down again later. Ray

Another mot passed today, only needed a drag link end so not bad for a 15 year old Mr. Green on the down side though I need to try and polish out some scratches from down the side because a tractor decided not to get on his side of the road and I had to take avoiding action past some bushes and a tree that the council haven’t bothered cutting so was hanging into the road Big Cry Ray

Went in for its service today and after white smoke from the exhaust and loss of some mpg I decided to swap back to my original injectors. The “new injectors” were supposedly remaned and they were from Landrover (at £1500 ish Big Cry ) and as they were noisey and with other problems that I’ve put up with for a couple of years or so I thought it was the garage I used at fault but it seems it was the injectors Big Cry. I can’t return them now as it’s too late but at least the defender is running nicer again. Ray

Where did you go for service Ray? I was speaking to Parkside on Friday about my possible next project.
