Dealers !!!! I saw a 2003 face lift on a forecourt,popped in to take a look (not driving my TD5) dealer says, built like a tank,totally reliable,got the BMW engine go on for ever !!and by the way it was priced at nearly £8,000 it was tatty and unloved and had over 100.000 on the the clock.It's...

Blimey does a TD5 do 90 to 100 ????????????? never been above 70 and that was downhill with a following wind!!! :eek:

I have got the kit ready for the change,BUT !! I asked my insurance broker if removing the EGr was classed as a "modification" he contacted my insurer ( Chaucer ) who stated it was classed as a modification and that they accept no modifications whatsoever and my insurance would be null and viod...

I am having the EGR removed this week. Is this regarded by the insurance company as a "modification" ?? Do I need to tell them ? Cheers Malc :confused:

Not sure about the high motorway mileage theory.If I had an oportunty to buy a vehicle with say 50k or a 100k I know which I would choose the lower miler.With a high miler all the bits are still wirring about and if it's being used it will wear out.Ok with a low miler on short journeys the...

That's low mileage for a turbo to go unless the oil has not been changed.I reckon the turbo is one of the most sensitive items to be succeptable to infrequent oil changes.

Other way round for me employed untill I was 60 then self employed, Never felt better, no stupid " boss" to deal with.Going to France in our caravan for 6 weeks in June,could not do that when"employed" I know this has got nothing to do with disco's but it's interesting in it ?? Ok I know you...

Yes, but mine does not work although the fuse was ok.I have used an adaptor for two sockets to operate from the front I got the adaptor off flea bay, did not cost much.

There are !! tread carefully !!! LOL

Many thanks Head Tester,just what I needed.

I have decided to remove / blank the egr on my td5. I asked my landrover service dept if they would do it. They said they do not remove /blank the egr as it is not a genuine LR part so they will not undertake customers suppling non LR parts. Fair enough. I contacted a garage who I used to use (...

No it's not there I checked.Next !!

According to the Haynes manuel ref replacing the air filter element and also the "dump valve" cleaning, quote "Reach under the wheel arch and squeeze together the side of the dump valve and remove debris" .I have looked under the n/s wheel arc but cannot see any valve.I did a search but found no...

Jeep is worse than truck I think !!

IMO dont't use paint as after it sets hard the rust will go on eating yer metal and you just can't see it doing its dirty work. Use waxolyl and oil and grease to keep the moisture out.

Bugger that !! Now I KNOW I will never visit the centre of London EVER !!

Waxoil if you intend to keep a long time, also will help on resale. I had mine professionally done and if you can afford it( £500.00 ) its well worth it as they do such a good job which to be honest you will not do as good a job unless you spend days doing it and also the have all the lances to...

Let us all know how you get on !!

Thanks big lad I never knew that, I have always oiled my ignition thinking I was being clever !!
