Had a 200 TDI who's seat collapsed. Took it out, a couple of the strengthening bits were missing, replaced with 1" box. You'll need a fire blanket to stop setting the seat alight when you're welding in the new bits, & I only weigh 9 1/2 stone!

Yes, Mike does engine re-mapping. Just Google Dynachip. It's the best money I've spent on my Disco. His standard re-map gets the turbo coming in @ 1500 rpm thru to 4000+. I get better economy,but can't really say what cos I've got the dreaded leaking fuel pressure regulator, yet to be changed...

AFAIK The disco 2 is a slightly wierd O/S. However, you're on the Wirral, so contact Mike@Dynachip,he's on the Wirral also. He has a Nanocom & can sort your Dad's suspension. Most times you can change a ride sensor without having to resort to a code reader

I have been assured the TD5 is R/H thread. I can't remember, I took mine off 3 yrs ago to fit a Kenlowe. I used a cold chisel to whack one of the flats on that bl**dy great nut

I didn't bother with the right spanner, just used a cold chisel. I've been assured it's R/H thread. As for the 2nd Question, I'll let you know, just had mine changed by the local garage. I don't have the equipment or strength to do it myself. Will be receiving the bill shortly.

If you put in your location in your profile you might have a local member with a Hawkeye or Nanocom that would save you a shed load of money, instead of going to the main stealer.

I can't claim points for discovering this, as it came from another forum, entitled " how to free your stuck BMW". YouTube - BMW + Snow + Woman = Epic Fail:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi

I'll d suggest checking your front shocker bushes, sounds like ones f***ked

I'll second what baz2328 has to say. I've had my '52 Disco for 6 year & replaced both bags 2 yrs ago. Bag went this winter, replaced & have spare one in garage. You're compressor replacement seems excessive.

The part you're looking for is :- RQH100030 "If you've got a Breitling Watch do you use you're mobile to tell the time" In other words, stick with what you've got

Thanks for the link. I was beginning to think no-one cared. Had a quick look & couldn't find it. Will look tomorrow when I have more time.

I'm wiling to parcipitate. Got an old-style Nanocom. airhook

Don't know if this helps, I had a weird voltage drain on my TD5. New battery went flat in hours. Got the local auto-electrician in & he confirmed I had a 10 amp drain. We started going thru the system & were coming up baffled. Then we disconnected the big wire from the alternator & the drain...

To put it bluntly, with the diff-lock engaged, because you have a half-shaft/ CV joint failure, you are in 2 wheel drive. Try doing a search for Rave & dowload it, it's the official LR workshop manual. It's free, gives you an idea how to rectify your problem. Haynes costs. Best of luck airhook

Mine's been the same for 6 yrs, though I havn't had heater failure yet. I top mine up every 6 months. I look forward to finding where the leak is. The leak is so small I've resisted the usual cure of Radweld, after reading this forum, if you've got a TD5 don't use Radweld. TD5's & Radweld don't...

Chances are that it's the bag. Your symptoms sound exactly like mine a month ago. It kept going down intermittantly & no signs of leaks, then suddenly 50 miles from home, it went, leaving only about 2cm of suspension & then the bump stop. Sadly the bump stop didn't make it, but a new bag cured it.

Hi pindie, Chances are, it's the airbag fooked. I know it's new, but even new ones fail. Mine was under 2 yrs old & failed in under 2 weeks, new one sorted it.

I'll agree with the previous posters, if you live in town get the D3. The turning circle of the D2 is crap & very heavy for parking. But if you don't live in town get the D2, it should be more reliable, & if you de-egr, de-cat & get a re-map, it'll be a hell of a lot more fun & cheaper to...

Just had this problem with mine, 52 plate D2. It was the discs, looked OK from the outside, but only a 2 mm strip on the inside contacting the pad. New discs & pads sorted it, just passed its MOT with flying colours!

To me, it sounds like your battery has died. Modern batteries are similar to Ni-Mn/Ni-Cad batteries,like you use in your portable devices - they go from all there to nothing. Do a cap check of the battery first airhook
