Hi all, does anyone no what size torx is needed to remove idler belt tensioner/ alternator from a td5 engine. Bit of a silly question i know, but i know i hav'nt got one this size in my kit and i need to order one tonight/tomorrow, Cheers Mark

Hi all, my landy has been running so good after fitting new turbo and de egr valve mod and then ast week i noticed ive been using or loosing water/antifreeze. Been topping up all week on short journeys to work, but today had a good look over only to find a weep from a core plug on the block...

Hi all, just wondered if anyone has any idea what could be going wrong with me mate;s dads Discovery. I know its a diesel and i know its not a td5 like mine, i think its an earlier one, but he has a problem that keeps cominng up and i thought you lot would have some good ideas. The problem is...

:confused:Hi everyone. Not really Landy stuff but just wondered if anyone knows where i can obtain a small length of white flexible plastic electrical conduit of 50mm and above diameter. The smaller stuff (30mm) is easy to get hold of, but cant seem any sensibly priced in 50mm. I only need...

Dave mine are just starting to go in the same area. I would like to make a complete set up out of copper but where do you start in terms of Knowing what nut sizes etc Unf/ metric?? Dont wont to start this job without being able to finish on same day as car is in daily use (work)

Hi ,yeah i see the copper tube any idea what size on the disco2 and do you know if i can get stainless or that green coated stuff that the m/f use?

Hi all, looking to renew loads of brake stuff on my disco2 td5( discs pads hose etc) and while i'm all drained out i thought i would replace the rijid pipes running down from the rear to the front. Does anyone know of i can get aftermarket brake pipes are these main dealer only??? Cheers Mark

Hi all wanted to rebuild my disco2 td5 front propshaft, and saw a great write up on discovery2 web site. As i scoured e bay for the bearings, i found a kit with the all important centering bearing in it (3 u/js and centering bearing) all for about £65. This seemed resonable enough to me...

Just food for thought, 3 tonne stands are actually only rated at this when used in tandem so although many are marketed at 3 tonne they are actually only 1.5 tonnee each. When i looked around i found machine mart to be best allround and they have a nifty quick release drop out .

Hi all has anyone got a Nanocom or the like that they wouldnt mind helping me out so i can try and set/calibrate my ride height sensors i am based in Fareham Hampshire Cheers Mark

Just a quick update. Put the new ride height sensors on as described, compressor kicked in and the old girl lifted. One side is much taller than the other so i guess now i'll have to calibrate. Desperate for nanocom now!!!

I see you say the new Nanocom is due out any day now, but who is going to be selling it as bearmach dont seem to know of this release and are pushing the hawke eye ??

Ok, went to buy hawke eye diagnostic today but guy from bearmach said that it will not calibrate ride height sensors ,i explained that i thought the old nanocom did and that was why originally i wanted this. He said that the Hawke eye does far more than the nanocom and the Nanocom did not...

Hi, would have liked the new nanocom diagnosticfor my td5 disco but it seems to me that it just is'nt going to be released so i been looking at hawke eye diagnostic does any one own one and confirm that it is as good or better than a nanocom. I will need it to set upair suspension and turn a...

Just ordered two new ride height sensors. They were certainly very 'crusty' and one of them was extremly stiff to move (interestingly this was the side i have always had a static lean on). When i get the new ride sensor's i pressume it still wont pump up though, or aat least until i connect it...

cheers, will try a few of these sugestions in the morning. Just out of interest is there a test for the ride height sensors ie resistance parameters.

hi just to re iterate what the problem is . The car is down on its arse and the pump wont innitaite. There is a light on dash (picture of car with arrow up and down) and even with all doors shut windows shut etc it wont inntiate to pump up. Also even when i manualy prss the raise button nothing...

Hi ref what oil for td5. The grades that are being spoken about is really up to tou as end user but 5/40,5/30 10/40 etc are all ok but the oil must meet or exceed a1 and b1 certification that is the important bit to look out for. I use magnetec but again there are several magneecs available but...

Thanks everyone just thought i would drop the unit of the motor today as it was such a nice day. I hot wired the compressor in my workshop and it seems to be fine (pumps etc ) and i have energised solonoids on check valves and all seems to be good. But the light is still on dashboard and it wont...

Hi all looking for a new air suspension compressor for my landrover disco2 td5. Best price i have been quoted so far is £280 delivered. Does anyone no of any one else selling new ones any cheaper?! Regards Mark
