    Td5 HELP:SUDDENLY A VERY SINISTER ENGINE NOISE

    Hi, It is getting worse. With the bonnet open it sounds to me like the noise is coming from the turbo. No holes in the pipes. I took the air pipe coming from the filter and checked the turbo fan. It has a 1-2 mm movement sideways. Is it the wheel bearing gone??? Nic

    Td5 HELP:SUDDENLY A VERY SINISTER ENGINE NOISE

    Hi, This afternoon, after having used the car in the morning, the car started a very sinister engine noise. It is like a whistle starting around 1800 RPM and finishing at around 3000. Much more noisy in 1st, 2nd and 3rd, less in 4th and not sure in 5th. The more I push on the accellerator the...

    If I lift the car do I need spacers

    Hi Dave, Thanks for the good answer. As for tyres, having two sets of wheels I will leave the 255/55/18 as highway use or similar. On the 16 I want to put some tyres that I can use in off road. 255/70 and 265/70 offer wider choice then 255/65. That is it. As for rising suspensions it...

    If I lift the car do I need spacers

    Thanks all for comments. Probably the best thing will be to try without first and then decide... From what you are saying it sounds like spacers will add stability, whether you need it or not is a different issue. Thanks Nic

    ABS,TC,DHC Fault contact

    Hi, Over the last few weeks my LDR2 2002 suddenly and randomly shows ABS, TC and Hill Descending Control lights and in facts these tools won't work. If I switch off the car, remove keys from the dashboard when I then restart the car it's gone. What can that be? Any Idea how to fix it...

    Disco II 2003 Diff Lock

    Hi all, Again on this topic. After all I checked and unfortunately my LRD2 is not equipped with any parts to fit the CDL. I need to buy the whole unit. Ideally I would fit an original LD model but I can't find any on ebay. Can any of you advice on a model to fit? Many thanks Nic

    Disco II 2003 Diff Lock

    ...and if the fuse goes you are stuck;););). So by adding a central diff lock you separate the two axels completely reducing the work of the TC system. You also relay less on electronics and more on mechanic that is some circumstances can be safer...i'n it???:rolly: N
