on the same topic has anyone got any TD5 disco steps going cheap.. wife needs'em to get in the disco.. she's only tiny

Morning folks.. does the brake piston have to come out to replace a TD5 Disco rear caliper dust cover. It looks like it does to me, if it does any handy hints ? Cheers

really.. well thats a giant leap forward... so I have to strip each door now !!

HI, Can some one tell me where the sensors/switches are that tell my TD% there's a door open. The warning light appeared on the dash yesterday but went when i restarted the car and then today the courtesy lights wont go off, I'm assuming the peobs are linked. I looked everwhere yesterday for...

I'll only be doing one side at a time and all the wheels will be chocked.. just want it to be as safe as poss

chrisyleigh, i'll forgive your thickness... axle standa can be placed under the chassis, axles, all sorts of places. You dont jack the car up using the axles but put the jack under the suspension liks so it seemed a reasonable question to me.... after all you dont only use sledgehammers on...

Hi, I'm doing the rear discs and pads tomorrow and I wondered where the best place is to put axle stands onder my TD5... any help appreciated..ta

i agree you should keep it with you, when I had my 300tdi I took the fan off and one hot day I pulled off the motorway onto a sliproad that was at a standsill.. the gauge kept going up as there was no air movement.. I was bricking it

you can get convertor cables from the likes of halfords i think

I may be interested too :-)

Morning, you'll need a new loom I'm afraid, I've never done it but theres lots of info on here on how to do it...good luck.

is it a two button fob.. if it is I've a spare you can have very cheap

Brian and everyone else thanks for your help. It's all sorted now, down in the passenger footwell there were some speaker type cable ( I guess amp in and amp out... connected them together and Bingo.. blackstone cherry at full volume... lovely :-)

Oh and I've tried another cd/radio in there and that didnt work either.

thanks for that OldIrish but I've got the kenwood that I want to put in.. both the ISO leads plug straight in the back, it powers up but no sound...... cheers

just checked and theres no sub woofers in the rear door either if that halps narrow dwon the problem

Hi, Nothing at all ander the passenger seat and no spare wires under there either. I dont the sys system origonaly had a seperate amp ( Maybe ) the manual that came with the car said it was fitted with either and R660, R960 or R990 radio cassette's.... i'm lost :-(

Yeah, I did watch it but it turns out my system isnt like that, what I thought was leads for an amp under the drivers seat was just for the cd changer. I assume it originaly had a regular tape/radio that powered everything.. so still in the dark

bump

HI Guys, I picked up my TD5 today and thought I'd be able to drop my cheap Kenwood CD player straight in there but I'm having problems. I plug the two IS0 plugs in and the player fires up but there's no sound, also there's a bundle of wires/plugs below thew drivers seat, the cars got...
