    Disco 2 Td5 slowly lost power

    All fixed. Had some spare time today, it was the copper seals. One of them was badly eaten away from where combustion gases had been passing. Phew, at least it was an easy job.

    Disco 2 Td5 slowly lost power

    The local Kandy dealer is utterly useless. The AA fixed what they couldn't on our 3... What does that tell you. I'm inclined to think injector seals. If it was fuel filter it would be struggling for fuel all the time, but it's not. It's just become a starting issue now. I wonder if the...

    Hmm it's still playing up. Runs ok but starting it needs a couple of primes

    Disco 2 Td5 slowly lost power

    Hey up I bought a 2003 td5 to tie us over whilst I get round to sorting the disco 3 out. Of course last night the little swine started playing up... It had been a bit harder to start for a couple of weeks, needing a good few cranks and pumps on the throttle. On the motorway, started just...

    Disco 3 (LR3) Disco 3 was fault diagnosis

    Fault finding is my hell. I got asked if wanted to head up a commissioning team on a big nuclear project the other week. No thanks, I'd rather hack off a testicle with a spoon. I much prefer "this is the problem, please can you fix it"

    Disco 3 (LR3) Disco 3 was fault diagnosis

    Blimey I'm not that methodical. I'm bodging as i go. ;) I'm only powering it up when I'm not underneath it. There's no air in it, so if it did lift suddenly, once started, I can quickly cut it off. Would be nice if it did lift :p

    Disco 3 (LR3) Disco 3 was fault diagnosis

    Lol I'm not doing that. I just test to see if any air at all is going to the bags. And it's not. Yes I have lots of pneumatic pipe kicking about, so I'll just run new lines of needs be. I clamped it right next to the valve so I may just get away with chopping it shorter.

    Disco 3 (LR3) Disco 3 was fault diagnosis

    I may have tugged it a fair bit trying to do that sodding rear valve. Will get on it. It's on a stand on the left rear side, wheel off. Will just be changing the one air strut that's blown. Cos I'm tight. Using the iid tool to manually control the aur solenoid, it refuses to fill any of the...

    Disco 3 (LR3) Disco 3 was fault diagnosis

    Yeah I checked the silencer, could find any air coming out at from all the silencer. I can't get the rear to raise, it's on axle stands. I'm suspecting the airline between the middle valve block and the rear has got a leak.

    Disco 3 (LR3) Disco 3 was fault diagnosis

    I'm going to have another go tomorrow mate. Reached the point where you just need to stop. I'll get the soap out tomorrow. The leak sounds like it's on the pipework between the middle valve and the rear one.. but hard to tell. The soapy water should work, as you say. Need to get something to...

    Disco 3 (LR3) Disco 3 was fault diagnosis

    Ok... It wants burning!!!! Rear air bag nuts were so corroded I couldn't get them off. Tried some Irwin extractors and nope. Temporarily bodged the bag back on with cable ties just to see if it will inflate. Can I Eck The reservoir pressure wouldn't go up. I clamped the rear air line and...

    Disco 3 (LR3) IID tool - bit unstable on pixel?

    seems that people on apple devices are having less issues. Ill give it a crack with the ipad. I couldn't understand why the ap wouldn't install on the Samsung tablet. Im not down with the kids in terms of IT equipment.

    Does anyone use this sort of additive?

    I second 2 stroke. I put it in all our diesels and converted a few others guys here to it as well. Our A6 Quattro loves it at present! The discovery 3 is also on it, and it makes a notable difference to acceleration.

    Disco 3 (LR3) IID tool - bit unstable on pixel?

    Ah ok, ill give that a try. I tried to get the software to install on a galaxy tab and it wouldn't have it at all.

    Disco 3 (LR3) IID tool - bit unstable on pixel?

    Im running my IID tool off a pixel phone. Its glitchy as though and is always crashing, which gets a bit old rapidly. Is it more stable on other hardware?

    Disco 3 (LR3) Disco 3 was fault diagnosis

    Anyone got some petrol? I see what you mean about that rear valve! Chuff me! What an absolute ballache Then.... Popped a rear airbag I thought that the exhaust valve was working very well indeed for a few seconds :mad:

    Disco 3 (LR3) Disco 3 was fault diagnosis

    I'll scan it to it bud. I think fundamental ly though there's an issue with a solenoid that releases sir on the back, as in test mode, I can't get air to release. The calibration should impact it when testing individual valves? I can hear the valve on the back activate and it's got an...
