£2500 - £3500

Very well prepared for selling! Nice pics, good backgrounds! But redo the interior ones, sans "clutter"! Also a pic showing the steering wheel centred always looks good. But as for pricing???? Its really whatever someone is prepared to pay! D2 prices are all over the place. Put it in the usual...

Hi Mines a manual but removal is gong to be pretty similar. Use a 2 Tonne hoist, a 1 Tonne doesnt have the reach. Follow the guidance given in the RAVE manual. Its a 1 man operation, refitting is a bit more tricky, Ill try to find a post I did on here showing how I did it. Before you fit the...

D2 Commercial! Love it! No frills driving, no A/C, ACE or sunroofs!!! Id like a D3/4 D3s are cheap as chips on Flebay, Spares n repairs ones around £2.5K, even running ones are around £4k now. If I get one it will be a toy, got to drive something a bit newer for work now, had a customer look at...

Thats normal during the purge, it should take a 5-6 mins to do the purge.

If its got the point where the cam/valves etc have started to seize, then its probably not worth doing much more investigation work. In all probability the way forward is another engine from a breaker, there are few on fleabay. Get one from a decent breaker rather than a cheap "rebuilt" one. Mark

Hi Just in case you were still working on this, I did both of mine this weekend. Didnt have an angle grinder, had to do it the hard way, took 2 hours in total! Here are a few tips. Soak everything in penetrating oil before you start. Start with removing the bottom joint first, that way you can...

Agree with you there! Amazing how many D3s are on Copart, CATD with slight bodywork damage, but with mechanical secondary damage, as if the engine mysteriously exploded just before the "crash"! Yes you MUST use new head bolts, Turner are pretty good for parts, very carefully inspect the...

Hello, welcome, nice write up. If you do remove the EGR, worth keeping the bits, there was chat before about changes to the MOT requiring emissions control gear to be fitted. With the growing anti diesel sentiment, it may be in the future an MOT could include actual exhaust composition testing...

Angle grinder it is then! Ta!

Yes Im getting near to that point! The nuts are actually turning, but it looks like (unlike the new ones) that I cant stop the whole nut/thread from turning. Bit like when a taper joint cracks off before the nut is fully off! Mark

+1 on anti-roll bar drop links! Doing mine this weekend, providing I can get the pigging nuts off!

Mine smoked badly, white acrid smoke, when an injector had failed. On a diesel with an injector pump, which the TD5 doesnt have, its often a wrongly timed pump. Worth getting the injectors checked over. But do the CPS first as it may be throwing bad signals which can screw up the injector...

Try not to go down the path of changing everything...except the injector seals, first! The "usual" route seems to be fuel pump, FPR, etc etc. Injector seals are the cheapest and easiest thing to do, so run through sierrferries suggestions first. Is it difficult to start when its cold? Drain some...

My TD5 came with a box fitted, total rubbish! I think most people find the same thing, they cost a lot, but used ones on eBay are peanuts! Id concentrate on getting her up to scratch before attempting any mods. Mark

Nice one Janos! When I did my rebuild I got my parts from Turners, they all came in JLR boxes for quite a reasonable price. There are an awful lot of junk "OEM" parts on the market! Mark

Mine fits very nicely into a 20' shipping container. Many self store sites use them. You have to fold in the passenger door mirror and have someone guide you in, get as close to the pass side as possible. You can then quite easily get out of the drivers door. Mark

New clip fix mine...after the old one flew off one day on a forecourt!

Great! Thanks Brian, just spent £28 on yet more tools:)

Drone footage!!! Did you get all "Long Range Desert Group" then!
