That's great, I always run fairly elderly landrovers (12-15 year olds) and this is the newest one I've ever had but I'll still treat it with the same TLC- a full service on their birthdays, I only do about 5000 miles a year at the moment and it may be this one has had a couple of corners cut in...

cheers biglad for resotring my faith in this forum, Charles' post got a ruder reply as I found it condescending but fortunately I edited. I know if I wanted a perfect 4x4 I'd have a Land Cruiser but I have a Landrover addiction and with a relatively young and fairly expensive TD5 I'm not going...

Hi forum, Sheffielder with long term land rover habit. Started with defender 90 200Tdi, family forced move to Disco 300 Tdi currently have a Disco TD5. Have just posted in the Disco forum regarding my gear box, hope you can help and I look forward to posting in the forums in the future...

Bit of a mystery here and worried about expensive investigations at the garage. After a long motorway run my disco TD5 (2003/ 77K miles) crunches moving from 1st to 2nd. Very careful changing at very low engine speed avoids this, but then moving on at 5mph in 2nd is going to knacker the clutch...
