Yes my conclusion too! Stalling after idling for a while is another thing to confirm it.

After its started, is it happy to sit idling? or after 5-10 mins does it slow down and stall?

Ok thanks for update. Very strange that a new, genuine pump would give problems. Hopefully the garage wont get into the swap this/that/swap it back game! Merlin Diesels are here: http://www.merlindiesel.com/ They are a pretty friendly lot and they have the correct Hartridge tester, not all...

Mine has new front hubs, occasionally flashes the TC light, accompanied by the usual "grating" noise. Speed bumps or very rough roads can do it. I wouldn't worry about it.

A TD5 engine should start almost first turn in normal UK weather, i.e. around minus 7 Deg C Any idea of the mileage? Mines on 194000 now and doesn't smoke at all. Is it using oil? An oil leak from the turbo will cause blue smoke. Worth checking all the intake hoses and the inter-cooler for...

Yes sounds like something more substantial! Brake pad worn/binding?

Have you been driving over gravel? My Mazda occasionally sounds like a wheel is about to fall off, screeching/grinding, its actually just a small stone thats been trapped between the back plate and the brake disc! PS Call me cynical, but a garage will probably find something that needs "fixing"!

Its a nice cross country route from Dumfries, avoiding the sheep!

Girvan. I do a service visit to Grants every year (always in Dec!) But this year it wasnt snowing!

Disco or Fender, the TD5 engine is the same for both vehicles. Injector (rather than glow plug) seals are a common service item, i.e. they will need changing at some point! But this one doesnt sound like seals, as it seems to be running ok now. Interesting about poss high fuel consumption...

Just back from a 2 day, 790 mile round trip to the West coast of Scotland. The Disco purred along very nicely!

Hi Probably not worth going for drilled or grooved discs. Normally used on high performance vehicles, but less so for racing cars as slotted discs are preferred. Drilled discs can help dissipate water but if you use the vehicle in mud they will obviously get clogged up. Drilled discs can also be...

Živjo! Great thread, your English is fine! Love your scenery! Very inspiring! Like the way you removed the body, ingenious! Interesting that your chassis was in such good condition, maybe they did have good and bad batches of steel! Good to see more. Mark

Yes she was going to get a hybrid "Princess Castle" tree house. But snow has stopped construction work!

My daughter would love its similarity to a fort! Shes been bugging me to build her a fort/castle! It could have done with searchlights and flag post!

Epic decking!!!! Fantastic! Do you have a band to play on it! My impact driver is the type you hit with a hammer, but I guess a "modern" impact driver is the battery powered one! My favourite battery impact driver is the small Makita 10.5V, does a great job and doesnt mash up screws. Ive...

Found the same thing! Ive often looked at the the tool "porn" site at SGS, even added stuff to the basket, but when I get to check out, I realise I dont actually like impact wrenches! Its probably a subconscious thing, I dont want to look/sound like a Kwik Fit fitter! But I do have an impact...

Holey moley!!! Thats holey!

Ah didnt read the bit about the dash lights!!!! Get them sorted, I dont mean unplug them! Or its £1000!!

Its a pxss take about silver ones!!! Not all D2 are rotten, mines an 04, very solid, 195K, just MOT,d no advisories, no rust, no rust repairs! But ok £3500 was a bit optimistic!! But you never know! Condition is everything! There could be a buyer out there whos looking for a decent D2, I seem...
