Quick update guys, TD5 sorted, used a freinds sykes pickavant code reader and got turbo overboost fault flagged straight away, also EGR now stuck closed!! no suprise there as its disconnected at present. I investigated further and found that the waste gate was indeed stuck shut, so freed off and...

why did you replace the clutch hydraulics in the first place? if you replaced them due to leakages and now it appears to be bleeding out fine with no sign of air in the system, you may need to back bleed it from the slave back to the master. or sometimes if you are lucky, if you pump the pedal...

well if the 6" nail works, what do they say, if it aint broke - don't try to fix it!! I'll still raid my spare parts bin at my fathers over the week end and see if I can find an inferior original part :D

Be careful when slitting the nut against the lock tab flat, although there is no threads to get damaged at that point, the axle tube is quite thin and you can deform it, crushing it inwards, the drill method is best if it is really badly stuck, ive had to drill the odd one off in the past, as...

Cheers guys, I will investigate further and keep you posted, Drekkly Mark :rolleyes:

It may also be worth checking the suppressor on the back of the alternator has not corroded and the wire broken off, as you may fit a nice flash new stereo only to find it still picks up a lovely howl/whine from the alternator, there should be a little plastic "box" type unit about 10mm x10mm x...

Hi John, I may have a link kicking around down at my fathers barn, if you are not in a desperate hurry for it, I could have a look for it over the weekend and let you know if I have found it:rolleyes: Mark

sorry Johnlad, my typo, maf sensor, but Brainbee diagnostic was happy with reading after changing and clearing fault codes, dynamic test also showed air flow and variation through out parameters, and fault code did not return after road test. Turbo seems to be boosting ok James, but I have not...

If you are hearing strange noises primarily when off load but cornering it may also be worth checking the CV joints inside the chrome tractor ball, if you have already elliminated the wheel bearings from your list of possible faults, the diff seal may be leaking a bit but unless it has been...

If the diff lock is stuck in but the truck has been stood for a couple of years it is more than likely that the linkages have seized, rather than the switch being wound in to far, if you lift the transmission tunnel and check all the external linkages are free to move - you may need to...

Hi, has any one come across the problem of fuel starvation/light misfire under load with a TD5 disco? yet it starts on the button with no problems, Fault code reader came up with MAP sensor not reading any air flow and EGR stuck open,- tested dynamically and fault code reader confirmed, replaced...

Hello All, I thought it was about time joined this comunity as I often veiw the comments and threads flying around, and once or twice felt that I could have been able to offer some helpful advice/tips, had I been a member. So here goes, I have joined up and become a member, and if I can be of...
