    fuel fillter change no start

    I'm sure that would sound really rough when trying to start if that was the case :confused:

    TD5 lack of power under load.

    Wastegate issues. Check the wastegate actuator isnt notchy and that the solenoid is working correctly (or bypass it). Another issue could be a dodgey MAP sensor, the vehicle is overboosting (or thinks it is) so bounces the revs at about 3000rpm (or when under heavy load and the pressure hit...

    If the filter is blocked, then yes it is quite likely to cause issues when under high loads. Does it feel gutless all the time, or is it when you get past a certain rev range? Normally blocked filters are more noticeable when the load is higher (assuming its not absolutely caked and letting a...

    Are you sure the other ones you drove weren't remapped? I found the TD5 a bit of a snail before it was mapped

    Disco TD5. no access..

    Think it goes without saying, but get the drivers door lock mechanism sorted asap As for the pipe, your description doesn't help too much but a picture would if you can get one.

    I know with nanocom you can tell the ECT to pulse up. When you pulse it up, it moves up in tiny increments. And yes, I was going to measure the signal to see what frequency it uses first, as the gauge is likely to have an RC filter on it to convert it to a voltage which it can then use to give...

    I'll have to test it and find out. I know if you test the gauge with Nanocom, it definitely has resolution. As for if it's controlled by the instrument cluster, I don't know yet.

    Yeah I'm not at home right now but I'll sort something out for you later. I used an ESP8266 as the clock speed is much higher which negates the issues of scan time vs output.

    I never got a misfire. Just gutless and under heavy load in 3rd gear or higher, the engine would die due to getting air in the injector rail. Wouldn't start, just turned over and over, then just as the battery was almost flat it would usually start up. Changed the seals and now everything is...

    disco 1 too disco 2 conversion

    I assume your 300tdi doesn't have ABS? If not, then I would recommend that you use the 300tdi brake controls as they will be compatible with your current axles. I know the fittings for the Disco 2 clutch lines are different to that of the 300tdi, I would assume it's quite likely that the brake...

    Disco 2 Ace rear anti roll bar chassis bracket

    Doesn't look too bad a job. Cut the bottom flat bit away and replace with 2mm (maybe 3mm) steel sheet. Weld the new nut on before you weld the plate in though. :)

    Disco 2 D2 splutter

    Yeah, for High box, it's a normally open contact, so if it does fail, it stays in High mode.

    Disco 2 D2 splutter

    I can attest that it does. I tested this the other day as I thought my vehicle may be operating on the wrong mode. Shorted the selector switch out and it ran like crap on the road. But the High/Low map only started working when I sorted my clutch switch out. Low ratio map works great in Low...

    Disco 2 D2 splutter

    I would definately say that fault is to do with the pedal position. If you run nanocom and monitor the pedal position it should be smooth and linear. Accel. 1 + Accel. 2 should add up to 5v ALWAYS. If they don't, you have a duff pedal

    Disco 1 HELP/ADVICE needed300TDI Disco 1

    hahahaha. You'll need to wait until it's warmed up, otherwise the thermostat doesn't open and theres no flow through the radiator anyway. Wait until the gauge reads centre, then check for a temperature drop across the radiator, I wouldn't recommend using your hands as it's not exactly accurate...

    I'd definitely check the radiator. If you have an infrared temperature gun, check both sides of the radiator too, you should see a significant difference in temperature if water is flowing through correctly. (and the fan is operating) This will help to tell you if there is a blockage (which...

    I'm assuming from this, you think I work behind a desk? :p I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm saying there are other ways. But you seem to think that me and everyone else is a complete idiot, so I'll leave this thread now.

    ozzy, the reason I haven't done it isn't because I don't want to do it, I haven't gotten round to it yet. I managed to adjust my speedo to work fine with the difference in tyre size and it reads just as accurately as any normal speedometer now. I estimate that the resistance they use in-line...
