The gearbox behaviour you describe is perfectly normal and shows your gearbox is working correctly. If you put your foot to the floor, that changes the revs at which the gears change, if you ease back a bit, the gears will change at lower revs.

And did you know that the firm selling this engine was Micheal Fear and his clan ?

You do beautiful work Peter, really good stuff.

Hello Martin, I hope for your sake that the K-seal doesn't block any of the small coolant galleries in the head and thermostat assy. Otherwise your £10 fix could turn out to be a very expensive one. :(:eek::oops:

I'm not sure if you're right tbh, if the switch to ECU relationship is not re-established, the EATS will not send the signals to the BCU to illuminate the gear lever lights and dashboard indicator.

Using your Hawkeye you should be able to set the switch up so that it operates correctly. With the hawkeye connected and selecting the transmission ECU (EATS), get an assistant to select each position in turn and see what Hawkeye shows. Re-position the switch until the results on Hawkeye show...

Hi Malcolm I'm assuming that you're talking about the M & S lights flashing ? This can be caused by a number of things : 1. Lack on volts on start-up. If there is any weakness in the battery and if the driver turns the key straight to engine start (rather than leaving the key at pos. II for a...

See post # 23 for my view.

You can see one at least of those bushes is worn and needs replacing. If it were mine I would replace all 4 bushes as well as the centre bearing. Have a look here:

Hi all I did do a search for L322 Buying advice - but for the most part all I got was loads of threads asking for - you guessed it - "L322 Buying advice". Isn't there a definitive thread that lists all the stuff to be aware of?

Hi guys, I'm giving very serious thought to buying an L322 diesel and I'm looking for advice about this vehicle. What are the known issues/things to avoid etc. I'm an experienced LR owner having had maybe 5 TDi's and the same amount of TD5's, so I accept that owning old LR's requires a certain...

Hello Cooper, just to answer your slight anxiety about purchasing a D2 (TD5 I assume?) let me assure you that the basic design of the mechanics and structure are well done and with a thorough 'preventative maintenance' history, will provide you with an excellent vehicle. Unfortunately even when...

Look here for starter solenoid repair kit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LANDROVER-DEFENDER-TD5-STARTER-MOTOR-SOLENOID-REPAIR-KIT-98-on-228000-7220-/252316462452?hash=item3abf3bad74:m:mODUMeLDeCD2IaLg6A8kzew

Well done Rob, you must be as proud as Punch - and you fully deserve this recognition as your Disco is not just great, it's fabulous.

Hi Ant, your Discovery looks like what I'm looking for, could you just confirm the current status of the mot, please. Dave

Hi Chewy, I'm in the market for a facelift TD5, so I'll be interested to see pics of your D2 - including the rear chassis - plus your postcode, so I know roughly where you are. Cheers Dave

Just done the rear air springs on a friends D11 and would like to add the following: 1. DO NOT attempt to do this if you don't have new retaining clips as well as new springs. The ones I just removed were destroyed by rust. 2. It is a wise precaution that you disconnect the battery whilst...

It's absolutely OK to do it from the perspective of general preventative maintenance, but it is a fair bit of work to get it out, to clean.

Just a thought but why are you wanting to flush the intercooler? It's not at all associated with the EGR operation.

I would argue that your price is unrealistic because : 1. You are comparing your vehicle and it's price with those at dealerships - false comparison; 2. A car very similar to yours at only £4000 asking price ...
