Considering a lot of parts went to further parts around the World, it would NOT surprise me to see the full kit that is coming from Taiwan as being the same place LR source their parts, for instance the hockey sticks were sent to South Korea as that job was taken from me about 20 years ago ...

It's a David Brown 1210 Circa 1976 with a quiet cab 👍😣

Yes I have been looking at it, seems very informative

Thanks, great info I'll give them a ring in the morning

I should also add that on Saturday I drove down from Northampton to Penzance and back again on Monday to collect my new (45 years old) tractor, the total trailer weight was about 3.5 tonnes, nine hours to drive back, lots of diesel, but nothing wrong, she did well, then the rattle and oil lamp..

Do you have the workshop manual ?

My current backup is a bicycle, which can be a little problematic when it comes to pulling a trailer 🤣

So hopefully bearings are ok and camshafts ? and if the chain is still fitted at the top end (would this be from the crankshaft ? I only need to refit the sprocket and lock the bolt back in ? can you recomend a good spares supplier as I used to use Rockingham LR but they have closed unfortunately

That does not sound like fun 😢

I hope so 🤣🤣

yes reasonable, I did spannering in the Army and now run my own machine shop.

Thanks, is it a simple fix ? also can you recommend a seller as I tried "twinwoods" and they seem closed ??

would it have done any damage to the crank/bearings how can I check ?

Anyone offer any advice on my TD5 Discovery 2, the oil lamp has come on and a rattle that sounds more like a chain than a bearing when running, I think it was run about 100 yards, what is the best way to fix it and what is needed ? Thanks

How and where do I get the kit ? Mine is the TD5 variant thanks

Maybe but I would like the brake lights to work, as I am running out of wall space to hang the front bumpers and makers badges on ..... Have towbar will utilise crumple zones to their full extent :D

4. why would a lower operating temperature be a good thing ? 5. How does it affect the heater temperatures at running and after what time from start up does it become effective ?

Whats it do ? and what are the benefits please ?

I have a disco 2 TD5 and have noticed that the brake lights and reverse lights don't work, can anyone tell me if this is typical of the brake switch or more likely the BCU ? also how do I test the switch as it appears to have 4 wires going to it ? Thanks
