My mate had a look this morning and he said it is 100% the 4x pipes have rubbed through. Nightmare. Oh well at least its identified the fault. Ill see if it was recalled by JLR if not ill see if they will fix it properly instead of a pipe clamp like they did for the other chap above. Thank you...

Would I be able to contact JLR and ask if this has still to be done???

Thanks very much mate.

Many thanks Mark.

Many thanks John.

Morning all. The wifes TD5 started leaking diesel on Sun. Ive checked the pipe from the cap to the tank and its ok. There is fuel around the sub frame and tank area. Any common faults to look for please as she is worried? Thanks in advance.

Whatever you do, do not buy the black steps off ebay off the guy who sells them for £140 or £130 with slight marks. I opted for the unmarked ones and were damaged on delivery. I sent them back where upon he sent me pictures of another set of steps that were wrecked and clearly not the ones that...

Panic over. I removed my headlining this afternoon and found the problem. Seems as though Stratstone didnt fully seal the cups to the trim when they were both changed 2 yrs ago at a cost of £1600. Did also do an experiment whilst we had the lining down where we put water into the surround and...

Can anyone give me a link to the youtube video of the guy who removed his TD5 headlining or a link to the guy who did it via pictures? Many thanks in advance.

The ones you want are on ebay for £150. These are the ones that I want:

Thank you all for your input. Very much appreciated.

Yes Goonarmy. The engine oil looks black as. Its also looking a bit low too. Speaking of which my mrs was driving behind me yesterday and she noticed some black smoke which we didnt see on the test drive. Hopefully nothing serious and hopefully a good oil change will cure??

Its a manual however im still getting all the oils changed as suggested. Considering it was serviced in Dec 3k miles ago the oil looks really black. Is this normal?

Thanks all. Planning on getting the underneath sealed asap as we live on the beach where wood even rusts and getting the oils done at a local 4x4 specialist :-)

Purchased a disco 2 TD5 today. Chuffed to bits. Heading to the show in Malvern next Sat to get some shiny bits :-)

Thanks guys for your comments. Hopefully getting a TD5 tomorrow as ive got 4 to look at. Fingers crossed.

Apologies I didnt see we were on a 2nd thread page lol. Well im in a total quandary again now. The car is for my mrs and she will be driving it around the city most of the day doing her job as a social worker. If the mpg with gas is far less that petrol she will be living in morrisons? Im edging...
