@ James - mine does this a bit in cold weather. Are you getting any white smoke one she has fired up? It's useful to understand that whilst the engine has 5 cylinders, there are only 4 glow plugs. This means that on cold starts they can be a little lumpy initially. Bearing the above in...

From what we can see it definitely is a nice looking D2 but £7000 ONO - not really. I was following a 2004 D2 TD5 ES couple of days ago and it sold for £3000. Was slightly higher mileage than this on, but not stratospherique - about 120,000mls from memory. Personally I think a 12yr old...

Hi Charlie, when you say the viscous fan is running all the time, I take it you know that it will freewheel (ie turn) even when the engine is cold? If the viscous coupling is faulty it will make the fan drive fully and over-cool the engine and therefore the heater. The place to start would...

Hi Chris, you'l need to find someone with a Hawkeye, or Nano Evo, or Lynx diagnostic terminal. All these devices are specifically formulated to work on LR systems, all the systems. Generic devices just can't do this. Happy and Healthy Hogmanay, Dave

See attached info:

It depends on which version of the engine ECU you've got. If the model number starts with MSB ******* then it's not 'flashable' so you need to change the chip within the ECU to a flashable one. Once this is done, the re-mapping can occur via the diagnostic socket. If the ECU model no. starts...

Did this ever sell? Dave

If you need the exact figure Land Rover figures are different for coil and air spring versions. It also depends on how many peeps you have in the car? You need to check the axle weights on your VIN plate.

Please, no more. It's just torture :(:(:(:( Sounds like it will drive beautifully - Bah Humbug :mad::mad:

You wouldn't have thought there would be that much call for Ibuprofen ?

You lucky bastid !!!!! She's beautiful mate - I'm as jealous as a jealous thing on Green Day. Does she have the newer 3.0 v6 diesel, or the 2.7 ?

Have you checked the turbo rubber hoses for splits or internal de-lamination? Dave

Excellent news. Just keep an eye on the level for the next few days and she'll probably burp out some air and the level might go down. Cheers and Merry Christmas to you, Dave

That's why I said "cap the header tank" - if you do this, you can fill up the 'stat housing without filling the header tank.

Take off the screw caps on top of the radiator and the thermostat housing, commence re-filling via the header tank until the radiaotr is completely full then cap it. Now cap the header tank and top up the thermostat housing until it starts to overflow, the cap it. Now remove the header tank...

Just a quickie Rob, don't forget the centre bumper plastic fixing, it's under the number plate and is a torx screw. Same to you and yours mate - have a good'un. Dave

Hi David, it might sound a little cynical but I wouldn't assume anything has been done. In fact when I get another car I start by creating a baseline for all future servicing by : 1. Changing all fluids - engine, gearbox, transfer box and both diffs; coolant; brake fluid - almost certainly...

Aerosol brake & clutch cleaner is what I use - cheap and readily available. I get mine from here : Toolstation: Brake Cleaner 400ml Cleans really well and leaves no residue. Dave

Aaaaah, now this sounds very very familiar. My wife does not seem to be able to grasp the concept of 'preventative maintenance' at all. I reckon she believes I like lying on my back in the cold and wet, smashing my hands to pieces on rusted fixings. Pulling my guts out and getting frustrated to...

It's so long since I've messed with an auto box I can't remember precisely but what I do know is that both breathers (gearbox and transfer boxes) terminate in the back end of the engine bay, terminating in a loop. You may find that you'll need to cut the pipe off the gearbox spigot, clean out...
