I still fail to see why alignment tools for the TDV6 engine are so common and not so for the TD5.

Hi

Have an engine swap planned for the Defender and I was going to swap the clutch while out. Thought I'd but a TD5 alignment tool and nothing. If I search TD4 or various other cars heaps of option ...

You did check that the central washer hadn't become stuck to the housing? It's possible to accidentally double them up and then you don't get a great seal.

Thanks guys. I realise Defender much lighter.

Underneath on the D3 are steel chassis rails giving lots of jacking options. Wondering where to lift the Defender.

Is she very front heavy?

Guys

Any advice? Anyone use a 2 poster on a Defender?

Looking like I need to buy one for my Discovery (body off), and use on other vehicles would be a bonus.

Where do you lift? Is she front ...

It's as clear as mud. MAM is the maximum the vehicle and trailer CAN weigh, not does weigh.
