Well done, you will love it. The winter coming up as well you can laugh at all the high performance brigade spinning wheels at junctions. While you can still go where you please. Hope you have a warranty though just in case, although we all know that Land Rovers never have any problems, dont...

Well I dont know much about the P38s but I have a Td5, and its the dogs. I used to have a 200 Tdi which was great, some people claim the electronics on the Td5 can be a problem and certain problems cant be cured by the home mechanic, but its worth it for me to have a luxury go anywhere...

I have a 2002 Td5 Disco and it does not roll as it has ace but it is quite harsh over bumps and I read in the forum that Goodyear Wranglers which I have fitted are the caause. Dont know what tyres you have but could be worth a check.:)

Hi, mine is a td5 but I had same problem with turning key and nothing happening then try again and it would start, the problem got worse and sometimes had 5 or 6 attempts to start it and eventually it would turn over and start, the problem was a faulty starter motor which was replaced and car is...

Well I owned a 200 series Tdi Discovery for 7yrs and liked it a lot, it had the usual problems as any vehicle, only broke down once and that was when the clutch went. Apart from that it was v. good. Now I have a 2002 td5 es and I love it, it is so much more refined, the engine is smooth and the...

Mine had the same problem dealer took it back and checked sunroof drains and aircon drains. The fault was the aircon drains, so it looks a good bet. I dried the carpets out and keep checking for water, also heard that behind the trim panel in front of door there is wiring coming from pillar and...

Had a problem with the sat nav in my Td5 and was all set to give up on it when I was given help by Sparky 2010. The prob is now sorted, thats why these forums are so good, plenty of good advice and tips from people who know, thanks Sparky, Top Man.:)

Ive just been looking to renew my insurance and I look at the go compare.com site which gives you a lot of choices and also moneysupermarket.com, just put in your details and let it search for you. I tried the usuals such as sureterm but found cheaper elsewhere,2002 Td5es fully comp with zurich...

Very interesting, be nice to see how you get on on a long term basis, how do you make bio diesel then is it a complicated process? Anything that brings the cost of fuel down is good news to Land Rover drivers. Its a bit of a mystery to me though I must admit would like to know more.:)

Yes mines the ES so it has the 18s but I thought that all td5s had them, just shows. I agree that they seem a harsh ride but not sure wheteher its the 18s or the good year wranglers fitted, as I have heard other owners say these tyres give a harsh ride. I certainly think that mine do.Will change...

Those 20inch. wheels look great on the Td5, but do they perform any better than the original 18s?:)

What I am saying is that the tyres are the correct size for the vehicle , they are not oversized. So tyres should not be a problem. If adjustment is necessary on the stop ok but he does not need to fork out for new tyres. Simple enough.:o

Hi, just read about your tyre size, and they are ok, my td5 es has 255x55x18s the same as yours so tyres are not a problem. Hope this helps:)

All of the above and dont buy private. I have had my 2002 Td5 for 5weeks and it has been back to the dealer for water ingress both front footwells non working aircon,(new pipe) and a new spigot bush. No doubt I will be back again but I have the peace of mind of knowing that it has a 1yr...

Hi, yes I bought a jap import nearly 7yrs ago and have just sold it, in that time it was very good. Just the usual problems, water ingress, bit of rust but as you say they are fine vehicles, although they are nearly all autos which I found a bit gutless. Some insurers were sceptical but in the...

Hi Stu, I bought my td5 about 3 weeks ago it was an approved dealer car its an 02 with 52000 miles, and I am pleased with it, watch out for water ingress into cab, mine has been back for that. They sorted the sunroof drain tubes and air con tubes either side of gearbox, but it took 3 days to...

Thanks for that lads, the td5 is now back with land rover to cure a soaking wet passenger footwell. Happy days

Hi, just joined the Landy zone and my name is Peter, I have a td5 Discovery and previously had a 200 series Discovery. Pleased to be here:)
