    100000 Miles. Oil/Filters Change.

    Aye, we have a Sheffield address, but live out in the sticks, where the temps are a bit lower than it town. Car is covered in frost tonight for instance. Thanks for the reply's, semi synthetic it will be. Regards Phil*

    100000 Miles. Oil/Filters Change.

    I have been reading all the blurb on changing the oil/filters on the Disco Td5. Some prefer semi synthetic, others go for full synthetic - that I understand. But I was worried when I read that these oils are "too thin" for the older high mileage Td5's, mine has 109000 on the clock. So if I...

    Water dripping from interior light. What have I bought, a 4x4 or a sieve.

    Thanks for the reply's guys. As for the re-map, a brilliant job done by Dynachip (Mike). Motor picks up from low revs much much better now. It's like driving a different motor to be honest. I cannot recommend Mike enough by the way, arrived almost to the second, and did a wonderful job...

    Water dripping from interior light. What have I bought, a 4x4 or a sieve.

    Wife came home from work to-day, and informed me we have water dripping from the front interior light, it was raining quite hard at the time. I feel like a real Disco owner now as I believe this is a regular thing. Would I be correct in thinking it's getting through the front sun roof...

    Td5 Oil in ECU Connection.

    When Mike did my Td5 Re-Map, the usual oil was found in the Injector Harness. I intend to replace the Harness asap. Is there any way to stop the oil getting back into the new harness again, or is it just unstoppable. Regards Phil*

    Injector Harness.

    Cheers guys. Regards, Phil*

    Injector Harness.

    I see on fleecebay a new Harness and Rocker Gasket for the Td5 can be had for very little money. The genuine LR parts can be had for 5 times this cost. Here is the question, cheap non genuine parts - or bite the bullet and get the more expensive LR kit. Regards Phil*

    Discovery Re-map.

    Discovery Re-map.

    Just bid ta ra to Mike of Dynachip. He is a sound guy, arrived on the dot after a long drive to get to me. Described all he would be doing to the Disco, and explained each process as he carried them out. Fitted and programed the new chip, cleaned the air sensor jobby out, and washed all the...

    Large Intercooler

    The large intercoolers are quite expensive, if I am looking at the correct ones. £400/£500. Regards Phil*

    Large Intercooler

    Hi fellow Disco'ites, EGR now removed, Mike coming from Dynachip to "enhance" the Disco2 performance next week. Now, Has any one taken the third step and fitted an oversize intercooler. Did it have a noticeable effect, was it value for money. I read of large power gains by fitting these...

    Binnacle switch.

    Easy question here fellow Disco'ites. How do you remove the binnacle switch/switches, I'm thinking of fitting cruise control on my 2000 td5. Going to have a look to spy if the cruise wiring is there. Thanks. Regards Phil*

    A question Re the dredded EGR.

    Be gentle with me chaps, been away from the forum a while, but as we have bought another Disco thought I would visit again. I do intend to remove the EGR and have the old girl tuned a little. Now here is my simple question, the EGR replacement kits vary from a cheap £7 to a mind numbing £65...

    Freelander 2 Sat Nav.

    Well pleased with my FL2 Auto, only one minor fault I can grumble over - the lack of speed camera warnings on the Sat Nav. It's very annoying having a Sat Nav built in, but having to rely on a Tom Tom stuck to the front window to warn of the devil's device - the dreaded speed camera. Phil*
