    Another TD5 none start problem

    With the winky emoji I cannot tell if this is a rhetorical question or a genuine one. 4 PSI is normal for the record. So it sounds like the pump is failing to me.

    1999 Landrover Discovery TDi 2.5 Central Locking Issue

    Welcome mate. As others have said, post your question in the Discovery section. The photo looks like a D2, is it not a TD5?

    What else is in YOUR garage???

    In the garage is a 1955 Triumph TR2 and a 2012 Honda VFR800X Crossrunner, neither of which are getting enough use. Outside is my D2, and my Volvo V70 daily driver, my wife's Jaguar XE and my daughter's Skoda Fabia as she has gone back to uni. My son's D90 is usually there too at the moment...

    Automatic gearbox

    When you added fluid was the engine running? If not, you still have too little fluid in the box. With the engine running fluid is pumped into the cooling system and into the torque converter so the level in the sump is much lower. If you add fluid with the engine off the fluid pools in the...

    Disco 2 M&S lights, brief query

    If the issue has been resolved the lights should extinguish. But if the MIL is on then the problem is not the battery, and you will need to get the codes read and fix the actual problem.

    Sad News,

    RIP Wammers. My sympathies to families and friends. Very sad.

    Disco 2 M&S lights, brief query

    There are many possible faults that will bring on the M&S lights and there is only one which relates to the battery - a voltage of less than 9V with the engine running. A loose battery terminal might do this, but a battery that flat will not start the engine in the first place. I assume that...

    Disco 2 Boost Box -Extra Umph

    Unless they are small and very low maintenance, that is at least 11 boats too many. Pre-Covid, I raced and helped maintain the RAF Offshore Race boat, a J-109 called Red Arrow, and the amount of maintenance required to keep just one decent sized yacht in good sea/raceworthy condition is...

    Disco 2 Boost Box -Extra Umph

    The problem is that the ECU mapping takes in data from the sensors and delivers power based on that data. The power delivered is in line with protecting the engine from excessive load and the heat damage that can cause - head gasket failure being most obvious. If you plug in a box that alters...

    Problem with Brakes, Discovery 2 TD5

    True, but without any evidence you have no idea how close to excessively corroded the OP's vehicle is. This owner is clearly all over his brake system, but by the time most owners notice their pipes are rusty, they are probably already fairly terminal. If he is unsure himself if the rust is an...

    Problem with Brakes, Discovery 2 TD5

    Marco, sorry to bring bad news, but if the solid brake lines are rusty then they should be replaced. I don't think that internal rust would be likely, but the potential for the external rust to weaken the pipe enough for the internal pressure to force a rupture leading to a catastrophic brake...

    Rear LED Tail light conundrum

    So with it still not working I finally decided to review my assumptions and test them. The new light (WIPAC made and branded) has black, white and red wires which I had proven were earth, tail and brake light. The old light (WIPAC made, BRITPART branded) had the same colour wires and I had...

    hi i am new to this site ,so do not know my way around.i have a 2003 r/r vogue tdiL322,which i have

    Welcome to the site, and thanks for introducing yourself. I suggest that you take your specific query to the Range Rover forum where hopefully someone with a similar vehicle will be able to help. In the meantime, it sounds as though the electrics are still connected, but that there may be...

    Disco 2 This is where the Oil Filter is?!

    Thanks, I spent a long time looking and saw an awful lot of rusty crap with big price tags. The major selling point for me was the condition of the chassis, and having just had it professionally dinitrol treated by Flatdog, I'm content that it will stay good for a fair few years before it needs...

    Disco 2 This is where the Oil Filter is?!

    It was bought either new or very early on by the CEO of Western Towing who seems to have used it to support the business and maintained it very well for most of its life, including regular waxoyling. In 2016 at 95,000 miles he had the engine professionally rebuilt, performance intercooler...

    Disco 2 This is where the Oil Filter is?!

    I'm not sure that they do anymore. The routine use of anti-seize compounds seems to have become controversial and unless the repair guide specifically calls for it I have been told that most dealers teach their staff not to apply it. Certainly where torque settings are critical it can be a...

    Disco 2 This is where the Oil Filter is?!

    Not my fuel filter; that is Henry_b's. You could well be right about the reason for stripped threads. All the evidence I have points to both the POs of my D2 having spent a lot of time and money on it, so I'm probably being unfair to them.

    Disco 2 This is where the Oil Filter is?!

    Unless you are planning on extended overlanding to remote places and reliability is essential, I would agree. However, with the right weight of spring, the day to day disadvantages of having springs is minimal IMHO. My ES started life with EAS and ACE, but has been on Terrafirma shocks and...

    Disco 2 This is where the Oil Filter is?!

    I know that my existing bolts are long enough as they already have nuts on the end. I doubt that they are original though, a PO will have put longer ones in to take the nuts after he stripped the threads.
