Thumbs Up will check and get the oil dry ready, you would think someone more use to leafers would have checked this.

Yes they are often grubby. Worse if any rear engine oil leaks, or if FPR is leaking.

The wading plug stays fitted on the Td5 but itโ€™s is worth removing every now and then, but there is a small gap by the wading plug between engine and bell housing and this should be clear, and often blocks up. Easily cleared with a cable tie poked through there.

Hello,
You can test them with a multimeter.
I read a post somewhere which told you exactly what you were looking for on a Td5 but I can't find it now.

I did find this 'generic' one though...

Doing a chassis change on a neighbours TD5, took wading plug out, 1/2 litre of oil/diesel clutch dust sludge came out, rear rocker seal leak main culprit.

Thanks
Rebuilt the fpr about 2 months ago because it was leaking that would explain it.

I learnt the hard way of getting what looked like a couple of litres of diesel in my bell housing with a leaking FPR. Didnโ€™t do much for my clutch Whistle Whistle

Soon learnt to keep the little vent/drain clear.

Wag, yeah, my rev counter was very hit and miss, and the motor seemed to be under powered, at times. Mine was down to the gearbox seal failing. It was all cleaned and all is well, rev counter works, the 5 is a live again.
You can get cheap ones, that will start the car, but as soon as you rev it. It will cut the car out and tossed the EM light on.
When me and my dad did the fuel pump on mine, we had a bit of a play with a cheap sensor, with the volt meters on both original one and the cheap one. Both registered spot on. So not sure what the story is with the cheap crap. Also they are Rover K series crank sensors too. Thumbs Up Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back
