Hi all, Changed the front discs on my Td5 a few months ago to cure the judder that appeared through the steering. Ok I thought these things happen etc. I put it down to the fact I had towed a 2.5t trailer 200 miles and the over-run brakes were probably out of adjustment. I recently got back from...

Are the extending legs not different front to rear? How about reversing it on, would it not make a difference? Im getting a 3 tonne 2 poster in a few weeks, bloody well hope a S2 will go on that, might have to change the box at some time! Slightly off topic but in the Aston V8 Vantage workshop...

Wouldnt use a hammer at all! If it was someones knee that pushed it in then you want to push the dent out on the crease line from the inside. The vaccuum cups wouldnt pull in the right place - on the crease - so might deform the door more. A piece of wood and some gentle pressure should suffice.

Mate of mine has a 300 Discovery that he bought cheap to go fishing with. Didnt pay attention to the rust in the back but took the rear seats and belts out out for the MOT. Nothing on the ticket to say 2 seater! I believe the rule is if there are seats or seatbelts there they must be tested, and...

As Dooroy said, the charging circuit sounds right. It shouldnt go above 14.2 but even with everything on is still putting back more than is used. Plus the Diesel unlike petrol engines, doesnt need power to keep it running. What made you check the alternator? If its not starting well do you mean...

For the water loss, dont assume its the head gasket, its the last thing you want to do. Ensure all hose clips are tight, if it takes 3 months to lose a litre then its nots going to be obviously gushing out. Check inside the car for the heater matrix, does the car steam/mist up in the morning...

Having just fitted cruise to my Discovery, I can say they do not light up...though I have a different stereo so that doesnt work... I think the OP's attitude to LR is a bit off, Ive just got rid of a Jap 4x4, did 20k in it and have to say the 300 miles ive done in the landy make me wish I'd...

Fitted cruise today oddly enough. Works really well! Charles, your Td5, is it chipped? I like the price or the JE, but its a bit of a journey for me, Im down on the south coast. Im interested to see just how it copes compared to my old truck though the LR has a much nicer ride and more toys!

Its on a 51 plate so an '01 model i guess. From reading on different sites I understand its '02 onwards with the re-writeable chip? How do I find out which one I have? I need to weigh up the benefits of an extra 25 bhp for what looks like £450. I have to tow 2.5 tonnes 300miles next week...

Hi all, looking into the chip / reflash route on my Td5. One thing Ive noticed it there doesnt seem to be much difference between a chip upgrade or a reflash. Is this right or have I grabbed the wrong end of the stick?? Does a reflash with Autologic really cost £300 or are the "tuners" making...

Not even had it a week and already Ive replaced the crackling front speakers - nice new Alpine's...... Reading on here about blocking off the EGR .... ordered the blanking kit... Also read about the cruise control retrofit, so ordered one of them too! Im looking forward to this as its one of...

Only about 250 ltrs, in 25 ltr drums.

Hi all, Thought I'd do the polite thing and say Hi, as Ive already tried to pick you guys brains in the Discovery thread!.... I'm down in East Sussex and recently picked up a 51 plate Td5 Discovery. I looked at buying one 2 years ago but the ones about then werent too good and I ended up buying...

£0 at the moment..... :) Still got a load of Castrol RS sitting around after a sponsorship deal, though Ive not put any in the Discovery yet, I assume its ok as its a 0W/40 fully synthetic race oil.

Sorted the problem this afternoon.... took the lever and end of the selector off. With a flap wheel I polished the pin that locates in the gate plate in the box. I removed all flat surfaces and rounded the bottom- rather than the flat as original. Refitted and hey presto - the box now changes...

Thanks Charles, I am trying to figure out what may be causing this, as unless its done this from new, something must be adrift in the box or bent. It feels like the linkage is catching the gate plate in the box coming out of 5th. It doesnt look like the gate plate can be moved as its bolted to...

Hi All Ive recently bought an 01 Td5 manual Discovery which is great other than 1 small problem. The box is fine going through the gears, 1st to 5th, but on down changes I cant go from 5th to 3rd, the lever has a definate baulk coming out of 5th. If i go from 5th to 4th the 3rd its not a...
