    Head gasket or oil cooler broken ??

    Andy, Just had my oil cooler replaced. Symptoms were largely same as head gasket except no coolant getting into oil, it was oil in coolant was sign. Got my indy to replaced the oil cooler and even after a few flushes, there was oily gunk back in the coolant, but as said before, this is due...

    Disco TD5 radio model identification

    gdb, with regards to the new set-up, does the i-pod adaptor and little screen replace the cd player and have you kept the original R990 head unit? Do the steering controls work? Would be interested to hear

    Under-powered no more

    What precautions need to be in place before checking the loom? Does diconnection cause any loss of settings etc or is just a DIY job?

    Rev limiter

    In fairness to jfarrell32, over here in Ireland, any 4x4 is generally referred to as a jeep. It has taken me a fair wile of having a land rover to start calling it a land rover. Back to the original problem, sorry I can't help, but where abouts are you in the country, I could recommend a...

    Oil level too high

    I had to top up the engine oil a little yesterday and, not paying enough attention, put too much in. GRRR Any ways it is now up to the F in FULL on the dipstick, about half inch above the marker for full. What do the wise ones recommend? Get it to someone with a ramp and dain some out...

    Discovery TD5 Gearbox change

    I have a 01 ES that was converted from manual to auto quite early in its life. All is in order and it seems perfect. The only slight thing missing is that the digital display on the dash does not show P-R-D etc, but I usually know when I am parked, going backwards or forwards!

    TD5 Roof Rails

    There were a different set of cross bars intended for the Disco11, however, as I had a set of cross bars (with the little spring mounted prongs), I just drilled a couple of holes into the roof rails and hey presto, all sorted.

    Ipod cassette tape in td5

    Another issue may be the volume from you ipod / mp3 player. Make sure it is turned up most of the way, as the deck in my 01 ES will start fast forwarding if no sound is coming from the tape connection (think that can be solved by pressing the MAN button though.)

    Air con on Disco II

    Just to add, I recently had the AC in my DII re-gassed and it is great. Real improvement on warm / hot days (remember them?)

    I currently use a tape connection for playing my MS Zune mp3 player and it is fine, would just like something with less wires showing, probably same for original poster

    2003 TD5 replacement radio/head unit

    I often wondered whether you could split the loom from the CD changer to the head unit and then put phono plugs on the L/R audio leads. That way you could use the Cd changer when you want or just pull the plugs apart and connect an mp3 player. Has anyone done this, am I being naive that it...

    TD5 running temp

    Another symptom that I have discovered is that the drivers side foot well carpet is wet? Could this be heater matrix? Is that a big job?

    TD5 running temp

    Once the temp is up, it stays there with no movement.

    TD5 running temp

    I have noticed over the past couple of weeks that my 01 TD5 gets up to operating temperature in about half the time it used to take, on its first run in the morning. It now takes about 4 mins as opposed to about 7 - 8 mins previously. I have also had totop up the coolant a little over the...

    leaking disco

    One tip I would have is to park facing down a slope, even if it is slight. If I park facing up the slope my Disco 2 leaks. Must get around to looking at the seals some day
