I hope it fits ok then, as I see the terminal posts are in the middle of the depth of the battery not at the front. I know many have had problems with particularly the earth lead being long enough to reach the terminal with this type of battery. Don't know why you didn't get the Tanya with...

See the attached technical bulletin in relation to this. A common problem. Tony

Difficult to see from the pics, but if nothing from the top of the engine like from the camshaft cover, then the only place is either the oil feed or return to/from the vacuum pump on the front of the alternator, or oil that is already inside the loom from the injector loom and is exiting from...

Try here, another forum gets discount from them. https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/powerline/?ordering=&A-26=930 I have the Powerline, others have gone for the Numax brand, others for the Enduroline. But you should have 120AH and 1000CCA for a TD5. Great service from these people. Tony

Juko, Here is a link to a gauge that many others have used. I know it says oil temperature, but reads the advert, it will do several depending on what function you want. It is also only 37mm as opposed to the usual 52mm size, but if you want 52mm there are plenty available...

kevstar, Not uncommon, unless you disconnected the battery, and jacked the car up on the tow bracket, it is likely that the sensors now need re-calibrating, as they will be "confused". You could try closing all doors and windows, leaving ignition on or better start engine and jack back up...

The IAT is also a pressure (boost measure. As said remove it, two small bolts, clean with brake cleaner or electrical contact cleaner toget rid of all the muck , let it dry, do NOT air blow it dry, and refit. Hopefully should make a difference. On the EU3 (15P) engines the 4 wire AAT/P is...

discool, Wouldn't you be better off with a proper copy of Microcat to work from? At least that way if you have the VIN of the car, it will tell you if it is the correct part for that particular car. Lots of versions of Microcat around for downloading, but must be installed on a 32 bit...

Generally, JGS 4X4 or Island 4x4. Another site www.d2bc.co.uk have arranged a discount with JGS, so that tends to be favourite. But always check LRDirect for basic prices. If genuine go to Dan Roberts at Duckworths, again if you belong.......you can get a discount from Dan and free postage. Tony

Once you have it off the car, change the dryer crystals as well, and carefully clean the little flap type valve on the top of the piston.. Tony

+1 for re-calibration. Not quite sure why you need an olive now, as IIRC all currently manufactured bags both Dunlop and Contitech are PUSH fittings. You just trim the end of the pipe to make sure it is square, then push it into the fitting on top of the bag. The system with olives is what...

Its not unusual that the bonnet switch is fu'bard, as they generally seem to get and stay wet, which rots it from the bottom up. Tony

@1970Jules, Might be worth pricing one from here, they are supposed to be quite competitive I believe. http://www.westlancsautoelectrics.co.uk/alternators/car-alternator.html Tony

Jamie, The clutch is HYDRAULIC, NOT cable, and can't be adjusted. I know many have advised to wedge the pedal down overnight with a piece of wood, as this is supposed to allow air to vent upwards to the master cylinder, but I guess it will only work if air in the system is the problem, as...

Jamie, As Shimsteriom said, the codes are stamped on the top of each injector, just remove the plug on the top and you will see the code. Tony

+1, best way. Tony

Jamie, I can't really comment on the clutch as I have an auto, but I do know they are not adjustable as they are hydraulic, and are infamous for being difficult to bleed properly. I'm sure someone with greater knowledge than I in relation to manuals will be along shortly. As regards your oily...

Mark, Yes, you should have got the IDM from him too, that would have been best, and he will have a tested RF unit as well. I see you have now just joined the correct forum........... Tony

Rob, Give Heathy (Paul) at Discovery 2 Parts a call on 01206 211623 if nobody has any. Paul breaks, services and repairs D2's exclusively and will have some. Tony

Mark, Not sure quite how you can re-furb a BCU... It is a box of electronic wizardry that is linked to the ECU, and specifically set up with your settings for alarm, immobiliser etc specifically for your car. Strongly suggest you talk to Heathy (Paul) on 01206 211623 as I suggested, BEFORE...
