Just taken off the turbo intake pipe, engine of stone cold, turbo is free to turn but does not run freely. I am used to massive blowers on ships engines which once spun will continue for ages, this just stops as soon as I stop turning it.


That is normal. A good turbo should not have any axial play (no play when you pull/push). But it will have a bit or radial play (up/down/sideway movement). 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Ordered myself a Nanocom, so I can see what is happening. I did find the Waste gate actuator rod was set at 15 threads, so altered that by a couple, feel it boosting now lower down, but still pants on the top end.

I also noted on my run out last weekend, which was 80miles round trip I used over half a tank of fuel. Shocked

Look on the bright side, at least if it gets stolen the rozzers will be able to catch it

Bought myself a Nanocom unit.

Anyone on here no what readings I should be getting and when, so I can have some references.

Just been for a run.
I have the following fault codes up
4.3 coolant temperature circuit Logged high
6.3 coolant temperature circuit, current
10.1 Air Conditioning Fan Drive open load
10.3 Tachometer Drive Open Load, current
10.4 Gearbox/ ABS open Load, logged
10.5 Air conditioning Clutch Drive , logged
14.1 Air Conditioning Fan Drive Open, current
14.3 Tachometer drive open load, current
14.4 Gearbox/ ABS drive Open load, current
14.5 Air Conditioning Clutch Drive, current
24.7 Problems detected with Auto gearbox, current


The coolant level is full, I bled it off last week, it never gets above the halfway mark, nanocom gave me a high of 88 while out.
It does not have air conditioning or ABS or Automatic Gearbox.

While out driving in 4th gear I can get max 3600 rpm and that give me 0.9bar of boost.

Has it had a new ECU salvaged from a Disco one wonders?

Might be time to talk to someone who understands Td5 ECUs?

All the air conditioning, tachometer and ABS faults can be ignored as these are likely not fitted to your Defender unless it's the XS version (half leather seats)

The auto gearbox is a bit odd and could mean you've got the wrong ECU

Focus on fault 6.3, it looks like, it has no valid engine temperature values. Look for live data and compare temperature values with "reality" of engine. "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "Blufínek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo Smile

If you have the original ECU you should have a sticker with your vin-number on it.

Does your temperature gauge shows normal temperature as I believe an ECU programmed for a disco won't work correctly with a Defender temp gauge. Roel

1997 Camel Trophy Discovery 300TDI (2001-2009)
2005 G4 Discovery III 4.4 V8 (2008-2018) It's gone but it still hurts.

Disco ECU in Defender results in wrong working temperature gauge (needle is going in opposite way), but only the gauge, not ECU, because temperature sensor is the same. Much worse is bad habbit of gas pedal, it works like a "switch", on road it is ussable, but off road it is wery hard to controll engine power.
WIN is also written in the ECU software, but it is only for evidence and only in newer NNN type ECUs. "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "Blufínek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo Smile

lt's got to be something like that, he's tried everything else!

When the ECU failed in my 110 the garage fitted a Disco one to get it moving and it did run, but there was no power and the gas pedal didn't work properly, as described above.

Temperature gauge does up to just under half when in use. The Nanocom gave me a digital display of 88degrees yesterday.

I will check the ECU today.

Just checked the ECU, all plugs are clean, there is a sticker (not LR) stating the chassis number, using the Nanocom it rear the VIN of it and it corresponds to my log book.
