Sod knows why i wrote that! I aint that daft, must of had an off day. So if i pour water down the heater intake (scuttle panel) and it DOES NOT come into the foot well, that flap could be 'bunged' up ? Can i access siad flap from under the passenger side of the dash or is it else where ?

First Disco so it did panic me abit the way it started up, happy to have it cleared it's pretty normal for a Disco, eases my mind abit! Intake box being the air filter intake box or heater box ?

I have a K+N panel filter, de EGR'd, deCAT'd, centre box removal pipe. Is it worth going for a bigger intercooler before an ECU reprogramme or will it still pick up the larger 'cooler after the reprogramme ?

My TD5 starts up in morning on 4 cylinders and runs roughs for around 2 miuntes then all clears and runs on 5. It starts straight after the coil light going out, idle's fine just when you rev it you can here it missing. It does smoke alitle too when reving up when cold, (greyish colour) It has...

No hard feeling by me, that what i personally think of them. I do however understand a higher miler truck will require abit more work to get upto a 'minter' which i am well on my way to sorting out. The 3 amigo's are the ABS/TC/Downhill descent light. I have got these on my dash board and...

Speak to Bell Auto Services.

For the age and miles on the car it's still a good example, ive got a 2001 registered GS. I am a BIG fanny for cars, serviced all the time and everything taken to bits and greased, cleaned and serviced correctly. I am a mechanic by trade so i my truck get what it needs. I know maintenance is the...

I am a new owner to Landrovers too and was wondering the same things when i bought mine, Performance is poor but then a 2.5 diesel pulling a 2 ton aerodynamic brick is never going to be speedy, once it's going though it's a steady motor and pulls well, brilliant for towing. Having said that...

Joys of owning a Landrover after years of reliable electrics with my L200. The drivers locking works sometimes and now the NSR one doesn't seem to wont to open all the time either off the button, working all ok with key. Got to love the key way of entering :)

I have never used them so cant coment for quality. Ive just serviced mine using coopers filters, very good quality and well made.

Bell auto services are the boyo's for remapping TD5's.

Yeah i was thinking a worn actuator to be honest. I'll leave it until it is that unbearable i have to repair it :)

I personally wouldn't bother with it, i dont believe it does 'real' use. I would just let the oil get nice and hot and then drain it, let it drain for aslong as possible before refitting sump plug.

EGR valve possibly partially seizing and operating abit better when warm.

Yeah, i am going to strip the door panel off for a browse and test like but thoguht a few brains on here may have idea's or fix's before stripping.

Ive tried a search but couldn't find anything to help. I use the large button on the fob to open the drivers door if pressed once, if pressed twice then all door opens. Thats in theory anyhow, my drivers door wont open with the fob?! If i put the key into the lock and turn it the locks operate...

Clean with a wire brush on a drill at low RPM and then use a can of brake cleaner to clear the dust off before applying several coats of hammerite for a nice tough finish.

Oh crickey, what a response, thanks.

:welcome2: Hoping to pick the brains of you Landrover lovers. Vehicle in question is a pre-face lift Disco II TD5 2001. I am wired up for cruise control ( I have checked) but where is the cheapest place to find the switch and the steering wheel controls ? My wing mirrors are the poverty spec...
