MAF sensor? Try disconnecting it and see if there is any difference. it's the electrical connector on the fat pipe from the air box to the manifold. Mine went and I bought a new one (genuines best apparently on this one). Put it on and still thought I had an issue as it was still jerky and...

Has a hose blown off? Check the lower more awkward ones with your hands (engine off!) You can also get some one to reve it whilst staionary and you can peer into the engine bay (engine on so hands out!!!!!). Get the revver to press the pedal to the floor quickly and then release. This should...

I had the ride height sensor re set by a chap with an autologic, sadly he did not have the time to site there and clear all the other fault codes caused by my fuse pulling. I am confident the sensors, bags and valves including compressor are all ok as nothing has gone down or gone wrong since...

Fuel pump! Bang some of the super duper Forte Diesel conditioner through it. One thing I have found with the td5 is it does not like low levels of fuel in the tank as the pump ony gets hot fuel through (more heat more wear). I've had far less problems if allways fill to brim from empty...

Check it's not air con water condensing on cool wires within the dash. Mine was. After loeads of faffing around and stress all I actually needed to do was clean( and now remove) the squid things either side of the underneath side of the transmission tunnel. Since doing that I have had no...

Needle and thread? Or does it have to look good?

I have to say the offers of help from you two are very nice indeed. I have put out an ask if any more local has a device if not Ill give you a shout as I can now drive it as bag blown bag up. Thanks again so far. James

Try pressing the dash button to full height before you park up. Mine stopped leaking when fully extended so I knew what the problem was......I then waited till they (the bags) started leaking again and changed them both as a pair. 20 min job once wheels off.

Hi All, I checked my fuses with the battery connected and noe have a lot of fault codes. Not surprising, I know. Very stupid thing to do. I was wondering if anyone within 30 miles or so of Newport, South Wales has a plug in gizmo to clear the faults??? I can drive the car to you if need...

Compressor works fine, bags not leaking as new and so far the vehicle has not dropped at all from saturday. I pulled fuse 28 (i think). Since then I have checked all of these in this area (battery disconnected this time). Could it simply be loads of faults logged from me pulling fuses before...

should have gone to BG. £150 nicker sorted my sqealing manifold. That was easy compared to all the other issues...............don not buy d2 td5 unless you love frustration.

more like somethings wrong with me!

Thanks for the link but looking it appears thats that the doc was released in 02 so presumably for vehicles before that? Mine's an 03. Weirdest thing is I have never had any sls/abs/tc/hdc issues before this ride height sensor issue. How people take a D2 to morroco etc without a support...

Its a seven seater so I dont want to have the insurance hassles etc by going to coils. As soon as the lights are off I'm selling it and going to stick with my trusty 300tdi. It's well tweaked but never goes wrong, apart from being old, smelly, rusty, vibrates, shakes, sqeaks and generally an old...

My 03 auto td5 disco had a dodgy ride height sensor. I fitted two new ones to match the recently fitted susp air bags. Snag was faulty (but now repaired) side dropped to normal height, the other side which was fine before dropped to the ground - bugger. Vehicle low loaded to nice man with...

Woooahhh! Save your money. Get your warped one off have it skimmed and put back on. It can only warp once. BG Landrovers - Monmouth do a swap service for not a lot of dough and it sorted mine. never had a problem since.

I junked the whole lot and got a mild steel straight through system with only a (small) tail silencer. Sounds fruity and you get all the benefits. Fuel pump tweaked to make the most of the rapidly leaving gases! 200k+ and i still love it.

disco2shaun How much has your man got to spend?

My 03 auto is terrible. As careful as poss and lucky to get low 20's. Drive it and get sub 20's. Cant afford to tow with td5 so use my 300tdi for that at 35mpg

I love the replies! It gives me hope... till next time. Dave, I live near Magor if you are happy to come this far, I know it's about 25-35 mins from Aylburton if that helps? On a serious note though, I am looking at selling the D2 as the original need for it has passed. The D1 does all the...
