I think Island 4x4 do sensors on their own. They are in the region of £40 from memory. They are also on ebay all the time. I had the sensor out of one of my hubs to check for diff oil inside the hub. There is 1 allen bolt to remove and you need to unplug the wiring. Piece of **** really. You...

Hi Those pipes may well be the ACE pipes that run on top of the chassis. Mine are really rusty as well. I have a similiar yellow liquid as you down below the radiator. It's sort of behind the rad. I am losing a bit of coolant over time but not any PAS fluid, so I was assuming that the...

My local independant was going to charge me one hours labour to do mine on top of the new gaskets etc and the oil and filter. I have since gathered up the parts and will be doing my own soon. It looks an easy job. I think you can check tightness by jacking up the cars suspension to give...

It mentions in the TD5 hand book (I think!) that you may need to use the low box to get going when towing heavy loads. Maybe the fact that you were on a hill gets you into this territory? My TD5 was down on power when I got it. I've blanked the EGR, cleaned the MAP sensor, cleaned the MAF...

Hi Mate It looks pretty easy to do this job. Get a RAVE workshop manual CD off ebay or download it from greenoval. Or, get a Haynes manual. Both these will have decent instructions. I think it might be worth getting a genuine LR part. After fitting you need to bleed the clutch which is also...

My TD5 was leaking from here as well. I ran some black electrical tape over the join, right round both sunroofs and it's now sorted. I still had a leak into the footwells. I think I have this sorted as well. At the top of the windscreen there was a gap just below the lip of the roof drainage...

Is it maybe down on power for a reason? On mine I had great results from freeing up wastegate arm, cleaning MAP sensor out (spraying sensor with contact cleaner) and cleaning the MAF sensor (gently wiping element with cotton buds soaked in contact cleaner). If the MAF is dirty or dead the car...

There's some pretty decent info here on a DIY head replacement if its any use to you guys... TD5 Head removal replacement - Australian Land Rover Owners Cheers Andy

Last night I was on Island 4x4 's site and noticed they had front hubs for 150 odd quid. That is a good price as I've seen em at well over £200. They do free delivery as well. Cheers Andy

It might have the wastegate actuator rod shortened too much, leading to an over boost. Screwing the adjuster just half a turn can make a big difference. Some people shorten them until they get overboost on full throttle then wind it back a tad. If all the rest checks out try this. I shortened...

Great tip, Hope I don't need to use it for a while though:) Cheers, Andy

Have a look on ebay. There's heaps for sale. This will give you an idea of prices and specs etc. It's a buyers market so make sure you try and get some money off if it's a normal type sale. Cheers Andy

Louise The Auto GS would be better. The manual gear change isn't particulary slick and the clutch can be a bit cumbersome in traffic. The auto comes highly rated. My wife just started driving my TD5 recently as our Scenic was off the road. I was a bit nervous how she would get on with...

Hi Louise If you looked around you could maybe get a TD5 with most of the niggly issues sorted out. This might apply to an older model car with higher mileage. If a manual, a new clutch and Dual Mass Flywheel could have been fitted. The wheel bearings also tend to fail and are only available...

Hi Cleaning the MAP sensor on mine made a big difference. It would rev out much better after doing this. It's on the inlet manifold. It's a black plug held with 2x 8mm bolts. It could be gunged up with oil. A spray with electrical contact cleaner should sort it if it's dirty. It's a very easy...
