Nice one MartinK, a comparison of both my desired choices, many thanks for the informed points. Its odd aint it they all cause us costs and oil patches but we all seem to find it hard to part with um!!

Thanks, a good suggestion !! I just feel mines gone past its best, i thought about asking if anyone was close to the midlands that has a Disco TD5 auto so we could both drive each others and compare notes, i just feel mine is lacking now in power and driving pleasure, hence the remap. i will...

I have a TD5 2001 auto, 97k miles. I was thinking the otherday of changing her for either another (newer) Td5 or dare I say a VM Taurgage thingy or a Volvo xc90, I love the LR but i dont go off roading, i do tow a caravan though, 7 seats are useful but not needed all the time. My problem is do...

Had this me self, SRS light staying on. I was told to look under passenger seat and push all connecters together, Im sure it was a yellow one, soon sorted it. Must have come loose as the kids were playing with the electric seats.

I have this too on a D2 auto, but think the slight clunk is at the front, I have searched on here but nothing really came up.

Im sure newer BMW 5 series have amber side lights (led) built in to the top and side of the head light, looks good in my opinion,I have also come a cropper with people thin king im turning when in fact im not, i just take extra care at junctions.

Great to hear some good news so good luck to ya !! But I have asked before on remaps and the like, Do you tell your insurance company? If so how much more did it cost? Im sure if you had a prang and they checked you wouldnt be covered !! I'm toying with the idea myself as my td5...

Dont mean to go off the main thread here but all you guy's that have had remaps and chips do you tell your insurance company and if so how much more does it increase? Cheers

Yep i might be interested if the 'new' price is substancially more than £60, do all TD5 air sprung Discos work with these once the computer is reprogrammed?

Seen all around my area (Coventry) for past few months, I had a go in one at a country fair in about Sept 09, it was top of the range with 5 cameras, even a device for being able to hitch a trailer or c/van once you tell the computer the measurements of your van and programme the camera and on...

I went to camskill, General Grabbers UHP delivered next day and had them fitted for a tenna a wheel, great on road very capable off, im a 90% road guy anyway but occasioanlly tow off road muddy caravan fields. These are £96 a pop but were cheaper last year about £85 im sure they were GENERAL...

I know that you will all say its the torque converter (not that i understand what that is or does) but when cold my TD5 auto 2001 (94k) today refused to go over 30 mph even when reved above 3000rpm, is there a better way?? After 4 miles it seemed to ease up and eventually 'kicked down' revs...

Try here too Land Rover Car Parts - Land Rover Spares at Rimmerbros.co.uk

For new tyres try these two sites, I have used both for my TD5 and the wife's Cmax. Both are cheap and deliver next day, lots of choice too. i had mine delivered to my house and then paid £10 a wheel to have them put on and balanced. Good luck with the steering issue ...

Dont get confused like i did, there are 5 cylinders but only 4 glow plugs on TD5's

Cheers all !! As always a resolve from an undieing source of information, long may it continue !! From now on if its freezing cold I will be using me foot and me key together. Have a good one !!

Thanks for prompt reply, heater plugs replaced last year so they should be OK, dont these last for a good 20K miles or more?

TD5 2001, It was -4 this morning and I had trouble starting the old girl. Thing is I fitted a new battery at the weekend so it was firing up like mad, it initially fired up chugged for 20 secs then died, after retrying for 2mins it just seems to keep turning over but not firing up. Am i...

Not had good chance in day light to look, the whole three switch assembly is lose after I stupidly went looking for a hole where water was coming in (leaking sunroofs) only found out via this site the real cause of leaking S/roofs, anyway all three switches keep popping out the holder/roof...

Do TD5 (mines 2001) have lights in the switches for the sunroofs, at the front by rear view mirror? Mine is an ES with twin s/roofs and I noticed in the dark last night that the switches are not eluminated, nor the rear 'lock' button, is this normal as I cannot remember seeing them on before...
