td5 rev counter
hi guys
just joined the forum firstly thinking of getting a croytec td5 rev counter, any views on it and how easy is it to install?
secondly my 130 is marking her territory by leaking coolant from the rad, i have the rad am i right in thinking the front panel as well as the inter-cooler have to come out to change it.

cheers boys and girls.

Yes slam panel needs to be out and intercooler

If you want td5 Rev counter speak to dan at Duckworth parts he was doing new genuine ones for circa 225/250 it’s worth getting the genuine one imho 2008 110 2.4 XS Utility (Hagrid)

I expect the genuine ones are just made by CAI/Smiths. They can probably supply them direct.

The td5 rev counters are ECU controlled not altenator controlled like the older ones. Roel

Welcome along dobbo. Would you be interested in any of the Croytec aluminium interior bits? If you are then I'm not too far away for a rendez vous at mr moo Thumbs Up

Hi Dobbo,

Geobloke on this forum has connected a vdo rev counter, see please http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic53710.html

You can also try again with a group buy via Dan van Duckworths, if the price is right, I'll join. In March of this year, LandymanStefan made another attempt. Unfortunately, there was insufficient interest at the time.

Cheers GerardTd5

CAI were part of VDO for a while. The TD5 ones were probably still made in CAI's factory. Wink

I think most UK vehicle instrumentation production ended up with CAI. Smiths, VDO, Jaeger, Lucas etc. They can make stuff with a variety of brands on it.

It's a bit like Burlen Fuel Systems ended up with SU, Amal and Zenith carbs. The Market contracted, so you had lots of mergers to cut costs.
