good stuff! thanks. will order the 'diesel' one from the US then!

I have also just discovered that the power steering pump is leaking. Mechanic says this particular pump cant be fixed but only repalced. does that sound right. if yes..: 1. is the td5 diesel version different to the v8 petrol/gas? 2. are they rhd/lhd specific? i found a td5 diesel pump...

Thank you for all the info cowasaki, bennehboy and listerdiesel. all very helpful. I have also just discovered that the power steering pump is leaking, adding to the demise of the ball joints, etc on the LH side of the car. re power steering pump: 1. is the td5 diesel version different...

Thanks a lot Trillo. appreciate the quick feedback. No off-roading really, but then again, Jamaica roads are somewhat like off-roading in their own right - riddled with potholes. so they are not as easy on the car as elsewhere I did consider replacing the entire assembly with HD...

Hi All - I live in Jamaica and have been told by my mechanic that I need to replace my tie rod and track rod ends - after some research I believe these are now the tie rod and drag link ends. I have several questions: 1. Should I just replace the ends or the entire assembly? 2. Living in...

i had the exact same issue recently. M&S lights blinking, engine was running. but no torquer or reaction from engine when gas was pressed. when i did get it going (which was very sporadic) the engine would stall and check engine light came up. Same initial diagnosis as yours - faulty fuel...

so i hav been looking at the xyz switch. brand new they range from somewhere between US$650 - 800, or £280+ i can get them used in the US for around $100, most of which have a 30/60/90 day warranty. Am i wasting my money buying it used, or used and refurbished?

Thanks sieraferry. Will get one now, maybe even two just in case. New ones are damn expensive so hoping for a good / clean used one on ebay. May play around with my oldie and the above instructions though I have never been good at taking stuff apartment - all of my damaged Walkmen growing up...

Hi All - quick update and follow up question. Torque problem solved which was down to the replacement fuel pump being faulty. So replaced it again witha second hand original and everything is fine. M&S light blinking and limp mode is down to faulty XYZ / inhibitor switch. Question I have...

Ok, so did some reading and low voltage seemed to be one cause. The car had been sitting for a while so I let it idle for a bit (with lights flashing) turned it off and back non and voila, no flashing lights, for now..... Let's see

So I came back from my trip and wanted to start dealing with the issue only to find that the disco now goes straight in to limp mode (M&S lights flashing) as soon as I start her up. The car will go in to gear - ie there is torque when I put it in to gear, but just at the reduced (limp mode...

Thanks GDM, very helpful. I noted in your thread that there were references to the air filter... mine was changed at the same time the injector harness was changed, so could the issue be related to that also? ie maybe incorrectly / poorly fitted, or something? Also, the car is due a a regular...

thanks all for the quick feedback. am away on business for a couple of days but i will look in to all recommendations when back and report back asap

Hi All, I recently had an issue with my Disco II where I got zero torque when car was in gear and accelerator pressed - car would rev, but no torque what so ever (automatic transmission). first diagnosis i got from mechanic/diagnostic computer here was that the fuel pump was faulty, so we...

thanks, thought it could be the TC but ideally would like confirmation before buying abroad and shipping down (live in Jamaica, and car parts attract a lot of duty). i have tried to post in the 'problem' section of the forum, but it won't allow me to do so. do i need to accumulate a certain...

so here my first issue / question. I recently had an issue with my Disco II where I got zero torque when accelerating (automatic transmission). first diagnosis i got from mechanic/diagnostic computer here was that the fuel pump was faulty, so we changed this, but it made no difference (in...

Hi All, Brand new to the forum. have recently been experiencing my first few issues on my 2002 Disco II, and figured this would probably be the best resource to tackle some if not all of them. THanks in advance for all the help, Andreas
