No throttle response, bad start solved! Land Rover td5

This is a short explanation of what I did to resolve a bad start, no power, no throttle response issue on my Discovery td5 after a head gasket replacement.
In this video I address all the possibilities that could cause a bad start situation on a Land Rover td5

Excellent work. Your persistence paid off handsomely and now you've got yourself an excellent car probably for a bargain price.

Man talk about true workmanship kudos bro

[@BroughBuilt]

Thank you sir!

[@allansteer9065]

Broer
Well done I'm watching your video a year later and in the market buying a TD5
Thanks very much
Good useful information for the years ahead 😜

[@BroughBuilt]

Thanks for the feedback Allan! Td5s are awesome. Hope you find the the right one!

[@troymortimer3487]

great video. Ill keep this a favourite in case I ever need to do my head gasket

[@BroughBuilt]

Thanks man! Glad if it helps.

[@ChrisPitt123]

very nice. I love the TD5. Great vid and well done

[@BroughBuilt]

Thanks! I also enjoy the TD5 very much!

[@ashleyscott4033]

Hi, I have been looking for a video that shows many things that cause the problematic starting, I have done EVERYTHING apart from the head gasket and timing check as I hoped professionals would get that right, but I am going to have a look at mine at the weekend. Thank you very much!!

[@BroughBuilt]

Great stuff! I'm glad if the video helps. Hope you come right!

[@matthapaq9618]

Hi mate thanks for your great video you are a Legend 💪🫡,
Wanna ask you , my td5 it takes few seconds to take off when I stop at the traffic light and I need to give my paddle down more to let it go then back to normal only when I stop to zero and need to move this happens , dose that mean my timing is out ? Fuel injector harness loom changed and fuel pressure regulator changed and I add in it some silicon to stop oil passing through harness loom to ECU , no more oil, but it keeps same ?
What do you think?
Cheers
Matt

[@kevinmartin9432]

They do a timing pin kit for the TD5, take away the guesswork, but well done for manaing without it!

[@BroughBuilt]

Thank you! That is good to know about the timing kit because I was totally clueless.

[@dinosshed]

Drill bits are great for this job, if I bought the special tools for every vehicle I see through my shop I'd be broke.

[@ystaspinar]

Great and mindfull work, congrats

[@adrievankempen2054]

What a nice video, thank you for the clear explication!!!

[@samb2636]

thanks so much! having similar issues. everything has been done except for the timing check. will do this asap. subscribed

[@BroughBuilt]

Great stuff. Let me know if you got it fixed.

[@wanderingbox7971]

yes the wires are on that MAF sensor from front to back battery voltage, then the voltage from the sensor normally about 1.95 volts and increases on revs as the flow of air increases, then the earth
It's basically 2 heated resistors which give a tap off in the middle wire

[@davidforbes6250]

It pays to be persistent sometimes, well done.

[@pilotgeoff]

Good video. Great info many thanks for your time to do this.

[@BroughBuilt]

I hope it helps. And thank you for the feedback!!

[@barryliebenberg8272]

mooi video ek is amper besig om n TD5 te koop hy wil net in limp mode ry? enige voorstelle?

[@BroughBuilt]

Die beste wat ek kan voor stel is om hom op n "diagnostic" te kry. Daars klomp redes hoekom hy in limp mode kan gaan maar ek het al gevind dis meeste van die tyd nie iets ernstig nie. Ergste is dalk n turbo en dis deesdae nie so duur om te recon nie. Is hy manual of auto?

[@secpac58chichi]

my first guess would have been a bad Crank Position Sensor (if they are used on a diesel ?)

[@BroughBuilt]

You are 100% correct. It could very easily been a bad crank position sensor. I have found (if not picked up by an OBD scanner) the rev counter stay completely still when cranking if there's a bad sensor.

[@johnsnowvideo]

Great video! Very informative! Cheers

[@BroughBuilt]

Thank you for the reply. Are you also struggling with a similar problem? Hope this video helped. Cheers

[@aventurasemafrica-jn]

Hello! .... I have a similar problem with a Defender TD5. Is it possible to adjust the chain without removing the front engine cover? Thanks.

[@BroughBuilt]

Hi there. Yes you should be able to adjust the chain timing by only removing the tappet cover. As long as you can reach the cam sprocket...

[@aventurasemafrica-jn]

​@@BroughBuilt thank you

[@ulrickteissier363]

Hî, do you know why the camshaft was off? What make him sleep?

[@BroughBuilt]

The previous owner replaced the head gasket after overheating caused from a burst water pipe

[@lennardchapman4360]

Thanks mate I'll do mine now

[@blackhat400]

How did this happen, someone did a head gasket and never timed it proper ,?

[@BroughBuilt]

Yes. The previous owner sold me the car in that condition after they did a head gasket replace on the car. They must've removed the cam sprocket to drop the chain for the head removal.
