Check propshaft centre rubber bearing. Known failure point.

Fitted new wiper blades.

@Bethp have ordered 1L of Rutland red. If it doesn't match i will take you up on the offer of swatches. Many thanks.

Thanks for the link @v8250. Going with Rutland red.

I dont think it has had a respray. Same colour on inside. Load area same aswell but very worn. Picture was taken the day he bought it. I may have given it a little machine polish since.

Td5 came out in 1999.

Definitely Td5. I've had a disco 2 previously. He leaves for work 20 minutes earlier to remove all the security

Nothing on Vin plate.

So my youngest now has his first foray into the green oval. Registered 2000 on a W Td5. Anyone know the colour?

Glad you got it sorted. Did mine on my back on the drive. Starter motor removal was the hardest bit. Makes so much difference once done.

Check propshaft centre mount. Common failure point.

You only change the one on the secondary turbo.

Ebay. Plenty of kits. Try item number 124276424272 for example.

Oil drain pipe mod required. Had same issue on mine. Happens when 2nd turbo cuts in. If memory serves me right at around 2800rpm.
