Common TD5 Land Rover Engine Issues We Can Easily Remedy

Model: Land Rover Land-rover Various
Part: Engine

Video tutorial

The first step is to check that the bolt securing the oil pump gear is correctly positioned; on several examples, this has not been done, leading to serious consequences. Additionally, in Euro 3 engines, there is no thread locker on the front plate of the air conditioning compressor; over time, this can cause the front plate to fall off. It may happen that it is lost on the road, but if unlucky, it can get caught in the belt or impact the radiator.

Here, you should also check that the seal is good, and replace it if necessary. Other issues include injector wiring suffering from a mounting error, causing the connector to be covered in oil; clean it thoroughly, but to resolve the issue permanently, you will need to replace the wiring.

Lastly, the centrifugal filter - a feature unique to this engine - is rarely replaced, although it should be changed more frequently than the standard oil filter.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
