Land Rover TD5 injection System - Explained

Modern fuel injected gas or diesel engines are a technological Milestone and a joy&marvel when they work properly. As they age , parts wear and are really expensive to fix. Here i go over Land Rovers unique injection system(for the time they first appeared) and the differences between different engine numbers within the td5 family.
Also in this video i go over the critical lash adjustment of the injectors.

Thank you for explaining things and a great informative video much appreciated 👍

Car will run just the injector codes are there for the factory tolerance of the spray pattern, the last digit does the idle trim but the td5 will run without programing the codes

A lot of good information there thank you.

If you read the td5 workshop manual it shows on the cam shaft has numbers that you line up to the head and it will have that cylinder on the highest point of the stroke instead of using a DTI gauge

Hi! Very informative, thank you!
Can you use a 15P rocker shaft assembly with 10P injectors on a 10P engine with the 10P adjusters?

[@heritagesteel1976]

i think the manual says yes but i am not sure. thats why i always keep manual at hand. Download the defender manual, its free. All the infos are there

The manual (1999 & 2002 MY Workshop Manual Supplement & Body Repair Manual) reads on p. 137 (section 12 camshaft, p. 12): 10P to 14P use Tpe A rocker arms ans shaft, 15P to 19P use Type B. Type B can be used on 10P to 14P as whole assembly. So this should be safe.
It also reads that the adjusting screws have to be of the corresonding type. Turner advised me to try it with the old adjusters . Any objections? Do you have the possibility to compare old and new adjusters side by side? Section 12, p. 27 reads that the geometry of the contact between injector pushrod and rocker arm adjusting screwhas been modified from pre-EU3 to EU3 engines. If I used P10 injectors and pre-EU3 adjusters it should be safe, shouldn't it?

[@heritagesteel1976]

@@michaelkipperer7777 the adjusters are the same from what ive seen. Differences in geometry could be there but not noticeable to the naked eye. So yes I think you should be safe. But swapping parts is always a mixed feeling:) I know that

The ecu and bcu sync is for when a new ecu or bcu is installed nothing to do with the injector codes
