    It is amazing that you can tell that from the picture and many thanks for the speedy response. If I can just makes sure I have it correct he needs a garret t25 unit for a 300 tdi?

    turbo ID possibly a 300 tdi D1

    OK so I have a feeling this is going to be very quick or an absolute nightmare! I went over to my French mechanics today for a chat and in the conversation he dropped in this little one to see if I could help him. He has been given the internals to a turbo (taken apart by owner who has now...

    Gearbox issue

    I had the same problem with a 2001 volvo v40 auto. It went into a main dealership with an electrical fault on the A/C. When I went to pick it up it and putting it into reverse it was as if someone had hit the front of the car and a massive thump. Reversed about 10 feet ok but on then putting it...

    D2 Facelift Headlights stolen too.

    I'd like to say thanks for showing that there are police officers out there actively trying to prevent and detect crimes with the manning levels that have been eroded over the years. Keep up the good work. To all face lift headlight users I'll be etching my registration number on my lights as...

    Re Map ? Yes or No

    Shame you had to sell as I would be gutted to get rid of it now. Then again I'm sure she will never fail to let me down sometime in the future. Got away with the remap as SWMBO couldn't see it, a caravan on the other hand she might just notice but it is penciled in for the future. Need more...

    Re Map ? Yes or No

    Remap all done by Mike at Dynachip for £225 on my 2004 D2 td5 es auto with 64000 on the clock. I went for the stage 1 which was just the map as I didn't want massive power, just enough to pull up the long hills on the motorway without changing down. If I did happen to get improved mpg then...

    Warning facelift owners!!!!

    I am all for retribution and summary justice to the perpetrators who steal these headlights from us facelift D2 owners. I also do not want to hear that someone ends up on the wrong side of the boys in blue. I did start a thread on this subject but I don't know how to link it on this reply. Be...

    Facelift Headlight Security Kit

    Sorry to hear you had your lights nicked but good for you to make something positive from it. I wish I had the brains to do that. When you do get it going pm me as I would be interested in it.

    Why did you buy a disco!!

    wanted comfort, affordability, longevity, driving presence, towing, load lugger, auto, 7 seat family car, green oval, 4x4. Range rover failed, defender failed, freelander failed, 2004 discovery td5 es auto perfect!!!!!

    Re Map ? Yes or No

    Just penciled in my 2004 td5 for stage one remap with dynachip. Driving all the way up through France the week before so when it is done I will have a good drive back to see what difference it makes. I am going for usability, not economy but if I do happen to get a few more mpg then result. £225...

    exhaust decat cross member bolts

    Right, I have just had the same problem as many people on here according to all the threads I have read and that problem is. Looked at the simplest way to try and release some more power from the td5 mounted at the front of my 2004 D2 es. So I bought a decat pipe. I managed to get the 3 x...

    De-EGR & De-Cat

    Emissions from the TD5 are very good - not heard of any trouble regarding de-EGR. However, in the latest LRO magazine (Sept. issue) someone raised the question regarding de-EGR and the tech guy said leave it because the ECU is programmed to accept it... :fencing: :eek: :confused: :confused...

    Another ACE question (ear defenders on already)

    When I bought the car I did factor in "repair fund" to the purchase price as in reality I had been looking over 2 years at a 2004 D2 td5 es, trying to find a good one. Part of the delay was my old volvo that wouldn't die and having driven and owned various land rovers I thought it would be a...

    Another ACE question (ear defenders on already)

    Ok. Thanks for a thorough answer. I will interrogate rave to find the fault codes. Also it is funny you should mention the behaviour of the car as sometimes it feels really planted to the road and at other times it feels like the slightest bump in the road is multiplied ten fold. Faults...
