Thanks. If this does turn out to be the issue then it is certainly the route to take I think.

Thanks for the replies. XAT 44 would you say the repair kit is a up to the job then? As regards my other queries, I hopefully will get a chance to jet wash the engine to check the oil leaks. Do the symptoms of my water leak sound consistent with my thoughts would you suggest?

Well in our infinite wisdom my partner and I decided to buy s Disco TD5 to have for holidays and weekends etc. We found a good 03 example, which up until the previous owner had full landy service history. Not much done recently to it. However, it is all well spec'd and very straight. Ok, it...

Thanks for the reply mate. Yes, you are right about the location of the diesel leak. Regulator? Seal or replacement. I must admit I will need some time to reacquaint myself with the engine bay. ECU behind the expansion bottle? Is the latter a simple pull up removal? I hear there is a pesky...

Well, having not had a Landy since my trusty D1 a couple of years ago, my partner thought getting a D2 Td5 would be a good idea to go camping and weekends away. So, after not too much looking, it has t be said we found a very straight '03 plate ES Prem. All spec'd out and back on coils at the...

To what price may I ask?

Now sold:d

Thanks mate. So useful, too, but as stated something has to go. Ain't got a wife...lol

Any sensible offers, chaps? I was hoping to avoid ebay, but if needs must?

Hi, I am selling my trusty Disco 1 1994 L Reg 200 TDI Auto. the photos show most of the details but to add more it's has: 5 doors 7 seats Taxed till Nov 2103 MOT Jan 24th 2014 ( no advisories on the last 2 mot's) All oils changed just prior to last MOT 212150 miles. (approx. 2k since last MOT)...

Okay, having just got back to doing this I'm wondering again. Firstly, the oil unions at the block. Buggers to get to, although I am guessing that if you can lever the manifold forward it makes it easier. That brings me to my second issue. Having been advised above (I can see why) to leave the...

Good point maybe I should redo my V8 ones before that is properly rebuilt. lol

A better bet than the usual blue gasket stuff then. I used a tad of this on my Rover V8 but if you consider it a better option. Pesky bloody core plugs. I reckon I will do the set as I bought 3 of them. Thanks again.

That was my gut feeling thanks. Oil pipe disconnect at block seems a better bet, too although it looks awkward. I'm guessing rule of thumb is leave turbo housing etc well alone?

Oh sorry. A 200tdi.

Having recently discovered a weeping, well a tad more than that, core plug, I set about undoing the inlet manifold etc. I then got to the point where I pondered. Is it best to remove the 4 bolts that attach the exhaust manifold to the turbo unit, or the whole unit into the exhaust. I know...

It's not clear from the photo. How far down does is go towards the ground. I have just removed my valance which clears a lot of room. Any chance of a lower photo, please? I'm only in Stafford.

Photos mate, please?

That would be very kind of you thanks. It will give me an idea of how it would look on my D1.

I live in Stafford. Who's that then? Always on the look out for locals of a similar mind.
