Update, I had the oil pressure checked and on hot idle it was 1.7 bar. I think this is healthy. I replaced the switch and its all been good so far.

Cheers. I think head gasket is ok, there is always a wet patch under the engine so I'm sure it's a leak. Checked main hoses and all I can see. No steam or obvious leaks. Will check hose into head.

Can I ask what your coolant leak was? I'm loosing coolent but can trace the leak.

It's an auto. No lights on dash to show any issues and display is showing R in reverse when it should. I did wonder if that switch was part of the problem. I did find the ecu was getting power after rechecking.

I have a facelift disco 2 ES with the rear parking sensors and since buying it the sensors and reverse lights have not worked. The switch in the binical lights up, the sensors click as the should but no beeping or reverse lights. Have searched without any joy for a fix. Today I took apart...

I've got an identical issue so subscribed to see if an answer appears. :) I've searched for a fuse to check and cannot find any info at all and no clues on the fusebox diagrams as to where is is.

Just came across this thread after a search as my TD5 oil light has started to flicker on idle. When I picked up the landy a few months the oil light came on on the way home. After stopping and checking the oil level, which was fine, the light stayed off the rest of the way home. I gave it a...

Got a complete bottom end for a 300tdi in Essex. £50

I've got a spare I think. Made sure I took them off any gearbox I scrapped as I know they are rare.

I forgot about this post. I did discover what the problem was after changing injectors, mat sensors and throttle switches with no joy. I did a body swap with a good body onto my old chassis and in the process fitted a recon gearbox. The gearbox has a sensor on the bell housing and this...

Cheers. Given up the mud plugging for now and going to concentrate on keeping this tidy.

I finally managed to sell my 300tdi and am now the proud owner of a facelift TD5 ES It's very solid, chassis is all good, just needs some time and money to get it perfect. So far I have booked the wheels in to be refurbished, booked it into an upholsterer for the drivers seat base to...

I think this is the manual one. I could do with the auto one.

It's a different linkage. I think I have a manual one here. Will swap you. I could use the auto one to add diff lock to my auto td5 if I find one.

We went over the road to say goodbye Geoff.

After Geoff left I think.

Is there a rear step going then?

We created a group a few years ago for a few of us that had been going out green laning for a while called 'Essex Mud Monkeys' then created a Facebook page to keep in touch. This got out of hand as new people were added with no control so it's had a recent cull. Anybody who comes on here and...

But new members not welcome on Essex mud monkeys. :lol:

Cheers.
