    TD5 Woes

    Hi all, Just limped home today with a major problem. Down on power & a hell of a vibration/noise at 2350rpm sounds very bad. Checked to make sure turbo fan blades are alright & everything there look good, blades rotate without any major end float!!!! Any ideas? This baby has cost me a...

    Discovery 2 Power Steering

    I have fitted a new pump to my Disco 2 TD5 2001 today. Re-fitted the drive belt, bleed system everything was looking good, until I noticed that the belt was coming off at the alternator pulley. Just 1 of the vee's on the belt but within seconds the belt started fraying:doh:

    Vibration

    Hi all, Still got a terrible vibration coming just over 2200-2350. It goes away once the rev's go above or below that range. Only problem is with the TD5 auto 50-60mph is roughly bang on 2250rev's. Reading through the forum it looks like the rubber coupling on the rear prop is favorite. But...

    TD5 Power Steering Pump

    Hi All, Since buying my TD5 all I have seemed to do is repair leaks! First leak was the rear diff, Then the fuel pressure regulator started leaking. Fixed these two then I find a leak coming from the Power steering pump! I have cleaned the pump & it looks to be leaking from a joint in the...

    2001 TD5 Auto

    Changed my Fuel pressure regulator today. How come such a big car has so little space to work in? I've changed the injector loom, cleaned the harness all the way back to the ecu. Everything I have touched has been squeezed into all the tiny spaces! Unreal you would imagine that a car of that...

    2001 TD5 Auto

    Thanks Pastmaster. I think I've traced a vibration/noise at 2500rpm! Think its coming from one of the propshafts. Tried reving up to 2500 without traveling an found no noise! Once I'm travelling noise changes with load, ie worse at 2500 travelling up hill than that of 2500 rpm on the flat. So I...

    TD5 Injector Harness

    Hi, Read this thread last night & thought I better check mine:doh: The red plug was soaking with oil. Phoned my main dealer, they had it in stock £42 in total & it only took about 1-1/2 hrs to do the job. Car was running great with no issues but the amount of oil that came out of my ECU...
