    TD5 Fuelling Woes

    By the sounds of it, what was in mine was organic looking and I don't think he mentioned it being white so could be different things - or just at different stages of formation. In order to have caused the running problems it must have made it was through the filter too which might tell us...

    TD5 Fuelling Woes

    I ended up swapping the injectors out for a different set of used green tops and it ran a treat so the post clean out running issues must have been injector related I've just got back from a 3k mile trip to Europe and the disco never missed a beat so I'm pretty happy that whatever it was...

    Disco 2 Door Check Strap Seals

    Will have to as a last resort if they're not about on the web, the guy at A&T land rover is great so will turn his way if I have to Do you reckon that they just don't make them any more then? Would have thought britpart or the like would be churning them out like they do for most things

    Disco 2 Door Check Strap Seals

    TD5 Catch Can Setup

    Fair doos, you're probably right - its hardly a highly strung race engine lets be honest! Regardless, I like the idea of helping it breath that little bit cleaner so am still going to go for it as long as the setup I'm planning isn't going to birth any problems

    TD5 Catch Can Setup

    To be honest I'm actually really pleased with how little its breathing given its 160k miles old Main reason for doing it is that I'm about to do an EGR delete so I thought I might as well go the extra mile to minimise all the crap getting thrown into the intake. That as well as I like giving...

    TD5 Catch Can Setup

    What sort of ball park temperature do you reckon it gets up to? I've seen some concerns around the steel wool / scrubbers breaking apart and allowing bits of it to go back into the system but equally if enough people run it without problem its probably just the internet coming up with an issue...

    TD5 Catch Can Setup

    Hi All, I'm planning on fitting one of these to the firewall of my disco 2 behind the turbo area To do this I'll be getting a couple of custom hoses made up by DPH with the ID reduced from 19mm at the rocker cover / depression control valve to 12mm at the catch can Will this changing ID cause...

    In which case it'd most likely be best to do it right, thanks for your thoughts

    Disco 2 PAS Bleeding Best Practice

    Hi All, I've just put a new power steering pump and lines on my TD5 and its come time to get the system bled I've seen a couple of different opinions on best practice, with some saying its best to follow the RAVE procedure using the bleed nipple and some leaning on the design of the system and...

    Disco 2 EU3 Radiator Hoses

    Hi Guys, I've had the radiator out of my 15p EU3 TD5 for a while now to do some bits and I'm now at the point of reassembly. Looking at the top diagram below and based off of my memory from taking it apart, there are just the 2 hoses connected to the driver side of the radiator - one to the...

    Disco 2 New Idler Pulley Play

    Who'd have thought it was that hard to make a bearing with passable tolerances! I've been in contact with JGS and there is a pair of replacements in the post already no questions asked so I'll give them credit for that I've had it in and out so many times I've now managed to pull the thread...
