Thanks everyone for your answers, thank God it not yet more expense on my Disco!

Yep I can feel it through the pedal. Is that normal? I think it has progressively got louder, I don't remember hearing before!

Hi all, Just started to notice a strange noise after the starter has dis-engaged a sort of grinder slowing noise? Hard to describe but it is a new starter fitted just before Christmas plus the noise comes after the starter has dis-engaged. It is the same noise as I get once the ABS has been...

Hi All, Since the cold snap my 2001 TD5 keeps blowing the 30amp fuse that protects the rear window heater? A new fuse will last a couple of days then it will blow. I have checked that with a new fuse in place I am getting power to the window heater alright. I must have a short circuit...

I have started having problems with my alarm going off everytime I lock the car with the button on the key. It almost instantly goes off once it has locked. I have found that by using the key in the door lock allows me to lock the car without putting the alarm on. What has suddenly gone...

Just got a key cut at timpson for £7.50, & it works. When I say it works it doesn't have the buttons on the key the way the landrover key has, but it does open the door & it starts the car no problem. I tried opening the door with the new key, no problem key turned & all doors unlocked. Opened...

I am having problems every now and then with my ignition key not turning once incerted into the barrel. 9 out of 10 times the key turns no problem then just once the key goes in but will not turn. Usually when you are in hurry. Anyway you have to pull the key out & try again, and again, and...

My 2001 TD5 sunroof's both leak badly, until I read the article posted on here, Account over bandwidth Unfortunately this link seems to be broken at the moment, but it did show you in great detail how to fix the sunroof leaks by removing the headlining etc. He also suggested trying a thin...

Its a replacement part I am affraid. Depending on what year your TD5 is depends what fuel pressure regulator you require. Upto & including part of 2001 is a single rubber pipe regulator then after 2001 its a two rubber pipe regulator, both a around the same price 80-100 from landy dealer. Don't...

Hi all, I have been told about all the advantages of fitting a performance inhancing super chips, better performance better mpg etc. All the manufacturers would have you beleive theirs were the best buy. Has anyone on landyzone got one fitted, if so what one, and are they as good as they say...

Vibration is coming from the the torque convertor not the engine. Finally bit the bullet & put the disco into Landrover expert. He rekons the vibration is nothing to worry about & to live with it rather than get involved with stripping out the torque convertor:D The power issues are coming...

Red plug cleaned out & she is back to going like a train, power is back to normal. Still got the noise & vibration at 2500rpm tho..... I will find it!!!:doh:

I've been hard at this morning trying to fix my TD5 problems. I pulled the red plug from the ECU & found it heavily contaminated with oil again. This is the 3rd time I've cleaned the plug since I've changed the injector loom. Will this get better or does the engine loom/harness need changing...

Hi, I've tried to show this photo through the [img] & I can't get it to work so I'll try this link:- Crack Mounting picture by cruicky68 - Photobucket See the more I look at the more I'm starting to think it could be a cast mark/ridge? When you look at the edge of the casting it looks...

Thanks for the replies folk's. I've just found the vibration problem........N/S/F engine mounting is cracked. I was trying to remove the turbo heatshield to get a look at the wastegate when I noticed the bloody great big crack! Is this a common fault or I'm just unlucky again?????? Reading...

No difference at all. I thought by un-plugging it the ECU would revert back to a factory setting ie. If it was knackered it would run better being un-plugged? So if by un-plugging it makes no difference it could be the MAS meter that is the problem? Would that being knackered cause the engine...

Hi all, My TD5 is completely gutless, at around 2250rpm I get a vibration through the engine upto 2500-2600 rpm then it smoothes out but still powerless. Example, slow down going up hill to allow car in front to turn right. Start to accelerate from 25-30mph foot to floor, the gearbox kicks...

Hi Thanks again for your help. Its a 51 reg with 100k on the clock. I still haven't got round to working on her. Had to park her up, hopefully I'll get a chance at the weekend to check her over? What bolt in the oil pump? Thanks again C

New injector harness fitted back in september

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply, no I've got no engine management lights on. I will check to see if the wastegate is operating. Thanks for the advice
