Is there a better way other than by watching?

Hi every one, I have disco 2 td5 2004. Lately i smell a smoke during driving. The smell is strong enough so the vehicle behind me seems to smell it too. When i walk around the car while it running i feel that the smoke is strongest near the engine. I have notice some smoke coming out of the...

strange thing..... i left the car over night an re-check the oil level. it looks o.k now... i don't know what to think perhaps i should change oil and check the level again. i did not smell any diesel but it does not meen anything as i am anosmic

so, after doing some reading i will try to sum it just to make sure i understood correctlly: first - check the smell of the oil, if it contain diesel i sould try replace the sealers and washers of the injectors. if this is not going to help, i should swich the key on without starting the engine...

hi everyone, i have a disco 2 2004 TD5 and i had the last oil change at the garage around 8000 km ago. untill not very long time the oil level were fine at every check i made (every two weeks) but the last two- three oil checks i made the oil seems to be too full. first i though the car is not...

Good morning everyone Day before yesterday i finally cleaned the map sensor and the maf sensor. I felt a little improvement. While cleaning the maf sensor i have notice that all the plastic around the sensor itself is full of dirt due to a crack i had in the air filter cover (already replaced...

I red that the mas air flow sensor must be cleaned with special liquid. Is the ECU has special needs too or contact spray will be fine?

I thought the opposite- that if there is no difference with the MAF unplugged it means there is a problem

Hi sierrafery, i am glad you are here... The gear is auto. The rpm can reach 2000, 2500 and the car barely accelerate. I did clean the ECU after replacing the harness but i am going to check it again tomorrow. Today i disconnect the air flow sensor and drove the car around the block... i didn't...

Hi everyone At the last few weeks i feel that my disco 2 2004 td5 is losing power espeicially at the low speeds. I can ear the engeene working hard but the car is not moving as it was. It feels like it was before i blanked the EGR. 4 mounts ago i replaced the fuel pump (a mechanic i don't really...

I did that test and couldn't stop it. As i said, next step is probably check the rad

Sorry to interrupt for this interesting discussion.... I checked the viscous fan immediately after driving when the temp is high. I filmed myself turning the fan with my hands and it felt a little too easy. What is your thoughts? Dear sierrafery, i know you think my car is acting normal, i...

I believe that during the time that the engine works and the system is under pressure air will not get inside the system but when the system is cooling down and the pressure decline and going back to 0 the air will get inside and might be a problem the next ride

Believe me i trust your opinion and want to feel confidence that this is the situation. Sorry, but the last 6 months thoght me i can' t really trust my car, at least not yet. I am trying to get to a point witch i am fixing things before red lights turns on

It is hard for me to evaluate the performance because the my disco is used 100% for trips on weekends and for some reasons (i had a lot of faults lately) i barely drove it for the last 6 mounts. I am afraid my evaluation can misleads me and you.... About the EGR... i blanked it.... I can...

I had the feeling that my car is getting too hot before checking the fan and replacing the thermostat. That was the reasone i did it. I really don't know if the changes made any difference at all. At least not yet I think i will check the rad and then see.... My mechanic say that i should...

Thanks sierrafery, your opinion is very important to me

I can say for sure that I replace it for the first time last mount, when i replaced the thermostat and the sistem was empty. I even wash it with few lite water before

NPG, except dilution with 1 l purified water, witch coolant would you recommend for such hot wather as we got in Israel?

I checked the direction of the flow in the thermostat and i am sure this is not the problem. I am using caterpillar coolant was recommended by few "old" disco drivers in Israel. I will send a pic. I put only coolant with no water as they recommended.
