    Td5 lack of power under 2500rpm

    Mine wont rev above 3000 until it is warmed up, I think there is something in the EMU to prevent damage to a cold engine.

    Used Disco prices going up?

    mmm I am thinking Discos 1 and 2 will begin to hold their prices simply because there are not many alternatives. I needed a tow barge for a horse trailer, choice really was the D2 or Fourtrak (which are going up in price) guess L200s etc were also a possibility. Disco 3 and 4 wont appeal to many...

    My Disco 2 - story so far.....

    Happy days, it's already been decatted (or never had one in the first place?) and checked the oil still looking nice and fresh and the right level, doesnt appear to be using much if any. Have cleaned both the MAF and AAF sensors ie the one in the inlet manifold and the one near the air filter)...

    My Disco 2 - story so far.....

    Yes its an Ifor W 505,and the trailer guy reckons its about 20 years old!!! He also reckons it's worth keeping it going as the new ones only last about 5 years as they are not as well made. Either way, once the floor is done it will serve equally as well as a new one and we will be in for £2200...

    My Disco 2 - story so far.....

    Time for an update! Have now become accustomed driving at Landy speed, and the car is going far better after the EGR removal, oil and filters changed and cleaning the MAP sensor - all simple stuff. Other problems continue however! Have bought a horse box with a recently replaced wooden...

    Discovery XS - not worth much anymore?

    I paid £3000 for an X reg TD5 with 140k miles then another £1600 getting it decent!!! I actually like the very low spec, no sun roofs to leak, no aircon to go wrong no air suspension or ACE. Perversely I think thebasic spec ones may be more sought after!!! But also the market is very poor...

    advice on reversing camera

    bought an £11 hitching mirror for the trailer.......so probably wont bother with the camera. Camera looking at the horses? Horses are pretty stupid, get stressed, get tangled all sorts, the camera would allow us to monitor them on the move......

    advice on reversing camera

    Hi I am looking to get a reversing camera for our Disco 2 to help with parking but also to help backing onto our horse trailer as its twin axle and a swine to move! I am also looking to put a camera in the horse trailer so we can keep an eye on the horses whilst towing. There are loads on...

    Buying a Disco 3

    Recipe for a few expensive problems methinks!!!! Thinking is that the Disco 1 is nice and simple and cheap to maintain as it is mainly mechanical stuff. Disco 2 is more electronic but is nt too bad, but the Disco 3 on with the V6 engines etc are nicer on the road, less capable off road and if...
