Gav, Don't want to sound too negative, but best off not to enter into Disco ownership hoping that some performance mods will make it quick(er). Seeing the performance / power figures on a page and feeling them is very different. I had a couple of 300tdi maunals and now have a td5 auto and...

Lads, thanks very much you have also put my mind at rest. I am still getting to know my my01 td5 (only 34k miles) and I thought that it was a bit rough when the traction control kicked in and when the abs self tested at the start. I was also coming from Disco 1. Now the only thing to get...

Pat, email sent with details. Dave

Also, the auto will not lockup in fourth until the temp gauge is up to operating temperature. I pressume the engine and gear box are set to operate as described to get the temp up as quickly as possible? Must say, though, that it has taken me a few hundred miles to 'learn' about driving the...

Pat, Where abouts are you in the SW? There are a couple of good indies around and it might be worth a chat with them, I can give you the numbers if you want. I am in Clare / Limerick area.

I know it needs to be replaced, the little flaashes on the dash after locking are telling me that! Can I just change them and all will be fine, or does it need to be reprogrammed? Apologies for basic question, but I do not have an owners manual

I do get the 'mis-lock' warning if a door is not closed, so the sensors are working. My indie reckons a bad earth could be the issue and that it may be linking with the fob not working in the mornings. He will check it out when he does the NCT (MOT)

No, The only way to get the interior lights on is to switch them on manually at thet switch location. it is a bit annoying but not critical.

Sorry if this is stupid question, but where are the door switches on a td5, had a very quick look last night but could not see them. The lights do not come on if any door opens.

Nah, I can use the switch to turn on the light, but when I put it in the middle position, it does nothing when you open the door. Now to complicate matters, my fob does not open the doors in the mornings, I have to do that with the key in the door. All is well during the day when the fob...

Having tradrd my 97 300tdi for a very clean 01 td5 ES auto with 31k miles, I am really happy with it. The heated windscreen and seats are great these cold mornings! Just one thing though, the interior lights do not come on with the openning of doors or unlocking. They will only work with...

My other vehicle (other than a 300tdi ES) is a saab 9-5 (vector) and I have to say that even though the landy seats are comfy, it is always a pleasure to sit into the saab sports seats. A good mate liked them so much, he trawled ebay and got a full interior from a 03 9-5 and installed the...

I will follow this one cliosely as it seems to be very similar to what is happening to my 300tdi (140k miles). I however am putting about a pint in every 300 miles approx. I have a new water pump in 2,000 miles ago and it was not losing much water before the pump went bang. Getting...

Would be interested in the mudflaps and the rear bracket, I am missing the drivers side rear. I am based in west of Ireland. Send me a pm on how much you want for them.

Thanks guys. it was the fuse thank god. all sorted now.

My rear door windows stopped working last night, front ones fine. Neither the buttons between the front seats, nor the buttons on the door do anything. I have tried to 'override lock' switch in both positions to no effect. Would not be such a problem but one of them is open a couple of...

Are these a regular failure item? Mine seems to be on the way out, the main pulley looks loose and it is whining a bit. I am having someone look at it today. The engine has been loosing all its coolant / water quickly over the past few days. Please say these are connected, the oil seems...

I am beginning to sound desperate now!
