Hi guys, finally bit the bullet and ordered a nanocom evo for my disco td5! First job is to recalibrate the air suspension as bags were overinflating after dodgy ride height sensor, then to get to the bottom of my three amigos. Just wondering what other stuff might be worth doing/it could be...

Do foxwell do Slabs?

Interesting, but seems it isn’t compatible with the Td5 - only disco 3 and onwards. Unless I’m missing something…

Yeah it’s all clean/ok. I replaced the valve block about 12 months ago so they shouldn’t be a problem. Decided I’m going to take the plunge and buy a nanocom…. It’s been a long time coming!

Just to update - I emptied the bags by slowly undoing the connections from the compressor, retightened and then disconnected the electrical plugs. I then manually operated the compressor with some wires and a battery (and a diagram pulled from this site), and then just left it all unplugged at...

ok thanks, will see what I can do!

So I’ve put a new bag in as I needed one anyway and figured it could help diagnose the problem. What seems to be happening is that the bag that didn’t explode isn’t inflating at all, while the new bag is inflating continually. Neither of the sensor arms are broken. Does that narrow it down...

Thanks… No I did not disconnect the battery. But the bag was replaced several weeks ago and has behaved fine - literally today was the first sign of an issue. Good to know for next time though. The self levelling sensor arms both seem in good working order. I don’t have a diagnostic tool, but...

Hey guys, as title suggests, one of my rear airbags just exploded - sounded like a bomb going off. Fortunately I had just parked up from a long and windy drive on some icy roads back home. Had recently replaced the opposite one (should have done the pair I know but strapped for cash), so I...

How'd you get on? Problem I had with hub nut was getting it off. Ended up using a section of scafold pole with a 1 inch drive breaker bar - I tried with a 3/4 inch and the drive bit sheared off.

An update on this a year later... The amber light ended up staying on continuously and I ignored it, as it didn't seem to affect anything. With MOT looming I was forced to investigate - I don't have a nanocom, so I just checked and cleaned all electrical connections (inc plugs, fuses, relays...

Jesus. Getting so many flashbacks from looking at all these pics… you are dedicated to the cause!

Both old and spare batteries were dropping well below the 10.5 v mark, and a new battery solved it - thanks for sharing the wisdom!

Will do, thanks!

Thanks for clarifying. With jump leads she fires up immediately and everything is completely normal. I charged battery up at 12.8 V but she wont start on her own. Think I'm going to check the terminals first think in the morning... Dodgy contact could make sense here (I hope). Cheers

I can't remember for sure, but I usually would disconnect at the negative terminal as force of habit, so no reason to think I didn't this time. By the time I have the engine off and have pulled the leads from the battery the draw in amps is all over the place for the first 15 seconds or so -...

Hi guys, Did random Red ecu plug check and noticed small amount of oil, so sprayed with contact cleaner. Plugged back in, turned the key and starter limped over - no start. Got the jump leads out and she fires up straight away. Took for a little spin and then checked voltage while still...

Thanks

Hi guys, mot due and have a worn bush circled below. Having some confusion identifying the rod - is it part of watts linkage or a panhard?! It’s rear axle... cheers!

Thanks guys, I will try removing and cleaning the connections and report back!
