    Mate, that's awesome! Thanks very much for taking the time to share, especially for going to the extra trouble of showing all the part numbers and fluid specs. If you're wondering what to do in future videos, my vote would go to showing all the different points that need to be regularly greased (or at least checked). On one video I watched, a guy casually remarked about some part that I couldn't quite make out that if it was allowed to dry out it wouldn't last another 100km (he didn't elaborate as it was incidental to the main thrust of what he talking about). It also got me thinking about how many other grease points there are. They're the sort of thing that is easy and cheap enough if you know what to look for / do but if they're not tended to regularly they can really cause you some unnecessary and big bills. Plus they're exactly the sort of thing that the apprentice working on your car at the dealership is probably going to skip over in his hangover induced funk! Oh, and just BTW, my MY2016 Aussie 90 has the DPF - I think in the later years they became standard across the range.

    Yes the 2.4 Puma is similar but has a paper element engine oil filter instead of a spin off type which comes with a new O-ring for the filter housing. I used Mahle oil filter part number OX339/2D and Millers Oils nanodrive EE Longlife eco 5w-30 fully synthetic (spec is Ford M2C913-D and is backwards compatible with the C and B versions, the Jaguar Landrover number is STJLR 03.5003.) For the final drive/diff i used Motul HD 80w-90 EP oil, about 1.6 litres per axle. Front axle is always worth checking as it gets a lot of the water first, has the swivel seals (or not so good seals) and can also suffer from failed oil seals inside the axle allowing the CV lubricant from the swivels to fill the diff. Completely agree with changing gearbox and transfer box oils regularly too, its easy enough with a cheap pump to add the correct amount and so much easier than removing them for rebuilding.

    Useful to see how far the engine oil goes. This saved me some mess as I placed the bucket far from the drain. When I removed the oil plug the Oring was broken and smashed - probably an incorrect tightening (by the LR dealer....). These types of plugs are made to last the life of the car, and, if properly mounted, the Oring also is reusable (I have the same type of plug on my bike, a BMW GS). At most, one could buy some spare Orings.

I just changed the Air Filter today and it was absolutely hideous getting the cover out, but even worse getting it back in since the cover is so tight up against the underside of the right fender. It took about 30-45 minutes to get it back in. I wish I could have seen your trick to getting it back in. Anyway, this is the best video I have seen thus far that is applicable to my vehicle. Thank you so much and if you do any more of these do-it-yourself videos that are applicable to the 2013 Defender 110, please let us know. With best wishes for you, Jon

      The castrol Meets Ford WSS-M2C913-A/ WSS-M2C913-B/ WSS-M2C913-C/ WSS-M2C913-D so it's good for the 2.4. For the 2.2 you really need one with the WSS-M2C934-B approval which is a Low SAPS oil and won't adversely effect the DPF filter. If you are in the world where it isn't fitted I.E Australia then either grade will be ok.

    ..hi..very nice video, straight to the point...some 2.2 pumas doesnt have DPF, in which case oil doesnt have to be C1/C3 grade, so any fully synthetic 5w-30 with ACEA rating A1/B1 up to C3 will be fine for non DPF pumas (im using castrol Magnatec 5w-30 Stop-Start fully synthetic)..

    • @Devonlandrover
      @Devonlandrover  4 роки тому

      Yes that's right. The ROW ( Rest of world) as JLR call it, means that with no dpf then the spec of the oil can be as you describe a base 5w30 the same is observed with the TDV6 in the discovery when they changed to dpf's in 2010 ~. The engine fundamentaly stayed the same just the oil spec changed to prevent the blockage of the dpf.

    Thanksfor a great video especially comments on oil specs. ...... Reference fuel filter renewal. On the Td5 you can prime the filter by fitting it empty then turning the ignition on and pressing the accelerator to the floor 5+ times. Is it not the same with this engine

    • @Devonlandrover
      @Devonlandrover  6 років тому

      The TDCI doesn't have the pump priming programme like the TD5 as you describe It would be nice to have though. At least the 2.2 had the in tank pump fitted so a cycle of the ignition to purge the system helps. With the 2.4 the same procedure 95% of the time works, As there is in intank pump then pre filling the filter is a must and then start the engine and apply revs too 1500 - 2000 rpm will pull enough through and stop it running out. The official method is to get a priming bulb to attach inline on the front of the fuel rail to pull fuel through and purge the air out. Obviously this is what you do if it doesn't work but in my experience it has.

    • @Devonlandrover
      @Devonlandrover  5 років тому

      Hi john Great question I'll give you the official answer and my own personal answer.
      The wading depth of the defender is 500mm or in layman's terms the top of the wheel rim. at that depth even when stationary the water level will be just about the touching the exhaust as it snakes under the gearbox let alone reach the DPF so it won't harm it.Now to push the limits of your wading depth and try some bonnet lapping bow wave shenanigans, So looking at circa 1 meter deep then the forced low of the wave will still mean the water level at the DPF will be around the chassis rails and whilst splash and some such might cause it to be wet the exhaust is well built and I highly doubt any harm will come of it.
      The DPF will mainly do a regeneration whilst at speed on the road (passive) or as the ECU senses that it is needed (active) in which it will post inject diesel to make the DPF hotter to burn the soot into ash. Temperatures are circa 600'C and I understand your concerns of thermal stress but I trust JLR to have correctly designed their filters to withstand this stress of the worst case scenario of dousing the DPF when in the midst of regeneration. Which would be brave as the DPF as a reference is at about the same height as your air intake grill on the wing and that's not something you want in the water should you park it there as a test.In short no I wouldn't worry for day to day typical wading with a defender (or other JLR vehicle) about it cracking the DPF.

  • @johnwilliams9710
    @johnwilliams9710 5 років тому

    Thanks for tge reply ref DPF and wading depth.
    Whats your view on underbody protection, looks quite involved, jetting,steaming,drying and then treating. If in favour what product would you recommend, any suggestions on where i could get it done with confidence that a proper job would be completed.
    Appreciate your feedback and time.

      Hey
      Stopping the rust bug setting in is a very very high priority with later Defenders the factory paint is very UV unstable noticed by the chalky fading that happens on the rear cross member paint and the fact it is thin so there isn't much to stop the rust setting in.See my video Part one >> ua-cam.com/video/ugB9IHKEQPc/v-deo.html&
      to see how I stopped mine using Bilt hamber Dynax Products which are still doing an amazing job to this day.

    • @Devonlandrover
      @Devonlandrover  5 років тому +1

      Hi Sylvan billy. Sorry for the late reply My daytime job has been unrelenting lately.
      The 2.4 doesn't quite need the higher Spec of oil that the 2.2 does so that helps as there isn't a DPF to be affected. anything ford M2C913B (Or C) standard is ok.
      The Fuel filter replacement is critical as the 2.4 doesn't have an In tank pump so fill the new filter right to the top and connect it quickly after removing the old one, Start the engine and instantly bring the revs up to about 1500 - 2000 to help draw the fuel through the system, as there will be a small amount of air and this will be purged as the fuel will be moving through quickly due to the revs. If you don't you will create an air lock, which then you will need to get a bleeding bulb and bleed the system from the top by the engine.

How would i confirm if this is installed or not.

      Hi Sam. if you have one within the European area then it will have a DPF. Australia is one place where the emissions regulations mean a DPF doesn't have to be fitted.
      A quick look in the engine bay on the drivers (RH) side under a few heat shields will reveal all. a large canister just off the back of the turbo with various wires and pipes going in and out will be the DPF filter. if it is a straight pipe then one isn't fitted.

      @Devonlandrover  5 років тому

      Hi
      It's not catastrophic as oil still lubricant even if the slightly wrong spec at least it wasn't the wrong grade like a 20w 50.
      It is a Low SAPS oil so the risk is lessoned it is a slight difference, (c1 - 0.5% to c3 - 0.8%) in the ash content so IMHO a short service interval of 6 thousand miles shouldn't do any harm. The DPF location means it's pretty good at regenerating so I wouldn't worry unduly about the small amount of extra ash generated as the 2.2 doesn't use all that much oil.

    Hi there - well done indeed. Questions re the fuel filter WJI500040 on the 2.2TDCI: (i) There is a plastic screw on the bottom of the filter. Is that to drain any water or debris? (ii) How do you find out if the filter collected water? (iii) Is it recommended to change the filter every 60,000 km? (iv) upon changing the filter, do I need a priming pump to get the air out (I heard that if this is not done the high pressure fuel pump might get damaged) ? Thanks.

    • @Devonlandrover
      @Devonlandrover  5 років тому +1

      Hi. Yes the tap is a water drain. TBH unless you are in the outback, Africa or other countries where fuel quality and supply chain is considered risky then a cursory check after 1/2 a mile after filling up will tell you a lot about the quality and whether further action will be needed. Ok maybe if you leave it parked with very little in the tank for a long time then maybe quick test can't harm but in the whole it isn't needed.
      When unscrewing the tap then have a collecting bowl underneath or say the bottom of a PET bottle and if there is any water then you will see it in layers as the diesel will float on top of the water.
      The service regime suggests a Filter drain every 12K miles (19,200 KM's) and renew the filter every 24K miles (38,400 KM's), for normal road use most of the time. For severe use (Offroad rough terrain muddy, dusty and wading), then the replacement is down to 6,250 miles (10000 KM's) . I'm a fussy person so even with normal road usage then I replace the filter every 12K miles as filters cost less then an injector pump.
      On the 2.2 then you can just replace the filter then turn the ignition key to Position 2 then the intank pump will prime the system. Running the intank pump out of diesel will cause issues and damage the pump hence, the (hiccup and Limp mode when you run the tank really low, then eventual shut down) Just changing the filter and purging the air won't do any harm. If you're really concerned then 1/2 prefill the filter before the change so there isn't that much air there. FYI the 2.4 needs a bleed tool or the old prefill start, rev and hope as there isn't a intank pump to push the diesel to the engine just the suction to pull it through, and so an air lock will mean an engine non start.

      @@Devonlandrover Hi thanks so far. Please give more details. Yes i know it sounds pretty straight forward but this motor is all very new to me. Is this the bottom side of the inter-cooler? This is the A/C inter-cooler?
      Thanks again

    Excellent video, but you didn’t show how you do the gearbox oil. The filler plug is in a awkward place and it would be interesting to see how it’s done.

      Hi B C, I didn't include the G'box oil in the basic guide as 'According to LR' it is a 120K replacement Item. IMHO It should be done ASAP from the factory as there are countless cases of them being under or over filled, (Or none at all for about 500 units in 2007 *cough), As the gearbox beds in during the first couple thousand miles that is when it needs a change.
      And really depending on how much work you do be it gentle commute or heavy towing then I would say every 30K to drain and replace.
      I replaced the oil @6000K and then again @33630K as I had the rear main oil G'box seal leak so whilst I was in there I did the G'box & T'box oils.
      Yes you are right the filler is a pain. There is pumps available (google Quicksilver Gear oil pump) that have a thin filler style pipe to get in there or I just used the Squeezy bottle that is supplied with the oil. it is a little fiddly but you can get it high enough to pour it in. The capacity is 2.2 litres so 2 bottles then 200ml in on top. depending on your model year it will be a T50 Torx bit or an 8mm hex head driver.
