    18 inch Alloys fitted - best off/on road tyres

    I've seen advertised 'winter tyres', now, without the usual culprits stating the obvious, what are they? and can they be used all year round and on roads? Rob

    If your looking for carbon monoxide in the header tank, it don't work on a diesel.

    Won't start when engine is cold

    If an AA man came near my motor with a can of easy start, he'd be removing it from his arse.....

    52 plate td5 handling

    Your not kidding about the handling Charles, driving down the mountain roads in to Millau in the summer, the father-in-law's Golf TDi couldn't live with the Disco round the twistes, and you don't even realise it's doing it. Unbelievable handling for such a big motor, but he was gone when we hit...

    Winterizing a TD5

    Just out of interest, myself and a couple of mates are looking at the idea of taking a trip to either Norway or Sweden, having a mess about in the snow and get some skiing in. What modifications would you do, if any, to prepare a TD5 for the cold. I have had previous experience of setting up a...

    Thieving Gob****es

    We had a Doberman when I was a lad, soft as ****e, used to be partial to a pint of bitter... also used to moan all night when I was posted away, drove my folks mad. Unfortunatley, he was good at Steve McQueen impressions and kept doing the great escape and the stupid bugger got himself run...

    No Tax on Veg !!

    What do you recommend for a TD5 then? Can it run on this stuff and will it be reliable? We have a Volvo FM12 in our work at the minute with a set of bo11oxed injectors and fuel pump due to running on bio-diesel, it uses the same design Delphi injectors as the TD5 does, so I'm more than just a...

    TD5 head advice.

    Personally, if I suspected an injector leaking, I'd take all 5 to a fuel injection specialist and get them to check them, lot safer and cleaner than running with the cover off. Rob

    New Discovery earning its keep.

    It's a 2001 Discovery TD5 (GS model I think..), no it wasn't weighed at the time, he was pulled in on a road side check, loads of Old Bill and VOSA. I think his best bet is to get some legal advice, hearsay and different interpretations of what the law can and does mean are running him round...

    New Discovery earning its keep.

    That's quite interesting, 'cause although he was towing a trailer when pulled in, the trailer was empty. They say that it's because the trailer has the capacity to haul over the 3.5 tonne limit that is why the offence is committed, and there was no argument that his is used for business (prat...

    New Discovery earning its keep.

    The difference is about £5k Slob, and the only one talkin' out of thier arse is VOSA.... Just talked to Cannock Tacho, they calibrate them using a 'linear test track'? and all tacho stations should have one so they say. You can't fit one to a Disco 3, as it needs a digital and they don't...

    What would you do???

    I wouldn't have put that ****e in my tank to start with....

    diff oil change and auto box oil change

    There's fook all easy on the TD5 Slob, even worse when the trainee arseh*le at work turns the engine off 'cause he can't hear me and all the fookin oil drop's back into the bottom and over me..... Rob

    If you need any info on tachographs and the law, give Cannock Tachograph a call 01543 379901, they've fitted a few of these now and know what they are doing. It's a real mine field mate! The chap at our place is looking at a £5000 fine if found guilty. Rob

    Rear Air Con

    Isn't the panel on the n/s deeper when air con's fitted? Does this move the 6th seat further into the centre of the car? Just curious.... Rob
