Driving a 2003 td5 auto, was doing this before an oil change in the box (without filter change). occasionally when hot (ie i have driven it, and then popped into the petrol station to remortgage my house and pay for fuel) i will get back in, start it up and go to pull away and it will...

great stuff, if he is still active I will drop him an email now.

So reading around the internet i came across this http://fritzing.org/projects/land-rover-discovery-2-sls-adjuster its a hard wired controller/switch that allows manual in cab control of the SLS that has the same function as the plip, and works by emulating the signal the PLIP would send to...

I have a 19 row oil cooler on the way with some nice AN10 barbed hoses. I was looking at fitting two things, a T piece near the cooler (top of) so i can easily crack a valve and fill the box if necessary through the cooler drain, and a temperature gauge at the other end. will let you guys...

didnt think about temps, 100-150degC?

very simply what is the running pressure of the auto box cooler? i am looking to do a little "home modification" to the oil cooler (as some moron fitted an ebay special 6 row cooler (looks like one from the back of a fridge) and jubilee clipped the hoses to the steel pipes at the autobox end...

so.. options for an aux input are simple in my mind, obviously i am limiting my costs, specifics oif the vehicle are 52plate td5 disco2 facelift, basic tape deck with CD changer. it DOES have parrot AR fitted for calls which i would like to retain, unless option 3 is the simplest as it will...

it is my understanding that additives are just concentrated forms of the detergents already in the fuel, decent quality diesel or petrol from a big brand (shell optimax, BP ultimate etc etc), a few tanks worth, should suffice but you can stick some redex in the tank if you are really...

how much protection would the factory (or similar) headlight guards provide?? provided they are attached sensibly.. a deterrent?

I already have the local one, it was from a different project

that's what i was thinking.. the cooler i am looking at is second hand and comes with some nice AN10 90degree fittings, but with barbed ends for the hose so will go with that.. was just worried about flow and pressure etc.. the mocal cooler is more than mental enough for my offroad plans.

One of the issues with the TD5 I purchased with an absolute bodge of an oil cooler fitting, I assume at some point hte cooler failed and to say the previous owner cheaped out is unreal, the original steel pipes have been cut about 10-15 inches away from the autobox just before where the pipes...

You may well become my new local best friend =D Any idea where i can get a replacement SLS fob?

I was wondering if I could do what I had done in my Peugeot with the egr actially,remove and blank the hole and replace the pipe on top of the blank.. looks like it's all there, doesn't waste my precious ponies into the intake.

I have always been one of those staunch "buy a landrover, buy an AA Membership"kind of guys, and that associated banter that went with my offroad get group because I owned a Japanese car. Must have been 5 years one of my fellow club members has been telling me to get a landrover and I took the...
