    I should also add that on Saturday I drove down from Northampton to Penzance and back again on Monday to collect my new (45 years old) tractor, the total trailer weight was about 3.5 tonnes, nine hours to drive back, lots of diesel, but nothing wrong, she did well, then the rattle and oil lamp..

    My current backup is a bicycle, which can be a little problematic when it comes to pulling a trailer 🤣

    So hopefully bearings are ok and camshafts ? and if the chain is still fitted at the top end (would this be from the crankshaft ? I only need to refit the sprocket and lock the bolt back in ? can you recomend a good spares supplier as I used to use Rockingham LR but they have closed unfortunately

    Anyone offer any advice on my TD5 Discovery 2, the oil lamp has come on and a rattle that sounds more like a chain than a bearing when running, I think it was run about 100 yards, what is the best way to fix it and what is needed ? Thanks

    No Brake lights and reversing lights help please

    I have a disco 2 TD5 and have noticed that the brake lights and reverse lights don't work, can anyone tell me if this is typical of the brake switch or more likely the BCU ? also how do I test the switch as it appears to have 4 wires going to it ? Thanks
