They can rot out and the diaphragm can fail, not often but it does happen.

I have heard of them becoming stiff to move. I have a posh s/s one to fit (removed from my TD5 Disco)

In replacing the actuator it would be hard to say if it made any noticeable difference for you then given you had a cracked piston 1999 Defender TD5 110

I drove with a rather knackered engine for a year before it got to the point where I said...bye.
There was a lack of power at times, turns out the oil system was pressurising causing a lack of oil to the turbo and that meant I killed a turbo eventually. I was trying cheapest options first as I had spent a fair bit on the LR over the years I had it. |
