Land Rover Defender 110 Repair and Service Manuals:

In the spring of 2007, a series of changes were made to the Defender. Most of which were implemented to meet emissions and safety legislation. The biggest change was to the drivetrain. The Td5 engine was replaced by an engine from Ford’s DuraTorq line. Puma engine, built in their factory in Dagenham, making the Td5 the last Land Rover engine to be built in-house at Solihull. The engine chosen was from the ZSD family, being a version of the 2.4-litre four-cylinder unit. It was also used in the highly successful Ford Transit. The engine’s lubrication and sealing system was adapted for use in wet, dusty conditions. The power level remained the same at 122 hp 91 kW. This produced a wider spread of torque than the Td5, from 1,500 rpm to 2,000 rpm. The engine was mated to a new six-speed gearbox. The first gear is lower than the previous gearbox for better low-speed control. A higher sixth gear reduces noise and fuel consumption at high speeds.
