    Hi all - and great to be here. Tesla driver and Landrover fan

    I think a lot of people tend to think back to front, If I was going to do this I would try and find the biggest scrap electric car I could and then try and fit it into your land rover body using all the bits that already talk to each other, then you just have to refit as much of the land rover...

    Should I buy Land Rover Discovery 2.5 (2003) as my new home?

    If body/ chassis is good then it is a good price for a LHD here one in that order with that mileage would be 7000€

    Freelander 1 Freelander 1 TD4 starting woes!!

    Might it not be the injector not sealed in the head? You have taken them out? might be worth a look?

    Freelander 1 Freelander 1 TD4 starting woes!!

    On ebay you can buy a ECU for not a lot £20 to £40 can you just change the ECU or do you have to change the key set and all ? if just ECU might be handy to have a spare? I have for my td5 but all you need to do is change it and it will work , then reprogram injector codes

    If you clear all the faults does this come back up after cranking the engine?

    Freelander 1 Freelander 1 TD4 starting woes!!

    Is it still coming up with fault on camshaft pulley? If so do not think ECU will allow the injectors to fire with this fault, you may have tried it on another engine and it worked and replace it, but if the fault is still there then you still have a problem, I changed the engine in my Citroen...

    Hello first time on here! TD4 Tensioner failure

    I would think it is not the tensioner, chances of you getting three bad ones are low if all where all bad I think it would have come up on here before, my old fiat van tensioner used to jump about all the time (hdi engine) and never broke a belt, I do not think the crankshaft pulley being a bit...

    Best Discovery 3

    Best option for disco 3 is keep your disco td5:D but joking apart my son has been looking at disco 3 and they are cheaper than a good td5 here, there is no road tax here so that not a problem, I remember when I bought the td5 some 15 years ago not being sure if that was just too complicated and...

    Can you work this out?

    will it not start every time or just some times? If you turn it off and straight back on does it start? I would play with the easy-start if it fires or runs then fuel if not electrics you need to find this out before anything else, good luck finding it

    Burnt out - rebuild

    Not too sure but think if it is written off it will have to be inspected before going back on the road to check it is not a ringer, do they check engine numbers, if so be very sure of the engine you install is straight and number matches car it comes from, could be a big pain if not but I would...

    Discovery 2 do I sell

    Do you do a lot of miles ? is it your only car, If it does not drop in value or goes up what ever you buy will drop in value by at least £1000 a year if a newer car, if you take 340 off that (if new car zero road tax) which leaves £12.50 a week to pay for extra fuel,

    TD4 Freelander 1, really struggling to start.

    Th Thanks for letting us know that is interesting, for I thought my injectors are okay but like you say must have been leaking back might keep a look out for a set and try the same if ours starts to get worse great you got it sorted without breaking the bank
