    TD5 vibration at 2000 rpm

    Normally you can see from underneath with a light that the rubber is much too close or even touching the bottom of the mount. Genuine ones available at Island4x4 Engine Mount Td5 (Genuine) KKB500750LR Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models...

    Help engine cuts out & amber engine block light comes on, then all ok

    Mark, have you had it plugged into a Nano or some diagnostic, if not do as sierafery suggested above and look on the D2BC Nanocom locator map here https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=207841817612546123050.0004be681ed4983779ac7&mid=1335261074&dg=feature Cos I...

    Transfer box / gearbox fill

    I use a pump type dispenser that fits onto the top of a 5 litre bottle, with a bit of plastic tube on the spout of it, works a treat and cheap. Speak to any cleaners you may have at work 'cos all their cleaning products come in these dispenser type 5 ltr bottles and the tops just happen to fit...

    Diff lock - option?

    There is much on here about diff locks, and if you search through you will find how to determine if your vehicle has it fitted in the transfer box or not. Basically if you crawl underneath the offside and feel on the top of the transfer box, almost immediately above the propshaft UJ, you should...

    sierrafery, Thanks for that. I agree the led should come on, I will carry out a led test if I can. Just a thought don't I need a diagnostic of some sort to check the BCU settings? And presumably I cannot check the EAT ECU once it is unplugged, as once unplugged no output as no input? I see...

    instrument lights

    sierraferry, Checked voltage on C0230. On pin 4 (sport earth), I have a constant 10v regardless of pressing mode switch! On pin 5, (manual earth) I have 10v and on pressing mode switch this reduces to zero. I have also checked pins 15 and 16 on C0047, incidentally my connector layout is...

    sierrafery, many thanks. I have located the relevent pages in RAVE and had not found the sections unaided, still trying to find my way though it. I will check tomorrow now and let you know. Presumably though, I should have the voltages as in the table? None of the LED's on the panel are...

    richy0707, I can tell you that the light is the ACE warning light or Active Cornering Enhancement. Whilst I am no expert, there are many on here who are much better qualified to answer you than me, the fact that the light is on suggests that your ACE is not working, and I would have though the...

    instrument lights

    sierraferry, I am fairly familiar with electrics, as I have computer services business, building, repairing computers etc, so no problem. I have a multimeter and a copy of RAVE as well, but I don't profess to be either an auto electrician or an electrical genius by any means, but very happy to...

    instrument lights

    Further to my last, I had my instrument cluster out just now. There are three green bulbs on the back that are replaceable, so you should be ok if just one has broken. My reason for doing it was to identify why my M&S lights don't work. It seems they are LCD's as part of the PCB. Hopefully I...

    We must have been on the same stretch of the M6 then yesterday! Was it you I waived at maybe? We were on our way back from Manchester to Essex, when it also went VERY black and we discovered that our the front sunroof on our new, (2 weeks with us) Disco II leaked! That was tropical monsoon...

    2 stroke oil in td5

    Being a newbie here, I have not come across running a TD5 or any diesel, and I have others (RAV4 and Audi A6) with 2 stroke oil at a 200:1 mix. Can anyone explain why it has a noticeable effect, although clearly it will provide better upper cylinder lubrication? Does it have any long term...
