I pick up my2000 td5 on Saturday
I live on the Isle of Wight
I don't want to get home then realise there's things that can't be done over here.
Should I get the Sus pumped up whilst picking it up to be sure or purchase springs from somewhere?
The ferry is £50 day return so If I can do things in one hit I will
Thanks

Hi, if its not broke don't fix it ..... Air suspension should be ok test it by pumping it up from switch inside ( engine running doors shut) but people do reccomend and replace with springs if there is a problem . In the two discos I've owned I never had a problem ....

disco td5 would be a good start,try paddock spares, have a look in the magazines most of the main advertisers do conversion kits and surprisingly will also post to your door,

you don't have to come over to the mainland. Island 4x4 are handy & I have used them myself on holiday with my P38

Island 4x4, Isle of Wight

worth a try but, as others have said, if it's not broke. don't fix it but do keep up t odate on routine servicing/maintenance

Does the old boy just down from snows on forest road do work on TD5's or does he just stick to the older stuff?

If you want to convert a TD5 disco to coils just make sure it's not a 7 seater and don't forget to get the vehicle plugged into a diagnostic pooter to tell it it's on coils.

I'm back over on the island in march if ya need it plugging into a nanocom.
