Fixed my four amigos with a new hub and ABS cable. The sensor actually had a cut in it, maybe from some grit inside the hub. I think the garage may have had the sensor out when they did my ball joints and got some crap in there. I can't prove it of course. Still, it's nice to have those...

That depends whether you do the stripdown and rebuild yourself or not. The machining doesn't have to be that expensive. Well, that depends how bad your engine is, I suppose. If you start getting in to re-cutting valve seats as well as skimming, pressure testing etc then it does add up.

I don't want to upset you but I had similar issues recently. I replaced everything before accepting that the block was the only thing it could be. I took the block to the shop and they machined a few thou off the deck, I can't remember how much exactly. It definitely had low spots because they...

I did the shuttle valve mod.

Did you get this fixed? What was the cost in the end?

I doubt it would suck air in, there's too much pressure pushing fuel out.

I agree, I didn't mean for my figures to be used, just that I didn't know what they related to. More importantly, how would I know what to adjust them by other than trial and error? Now that I have info of 1.4mm height per digit change I can work it out. Although I'm a bit sceptical of this...

I knew I had a problem with my air on the D2. Not losing air but the compressor wouldn't lift it. I reconditioned the compressor and it now works perfectly, so I'm chuffed with that. But, when setting up the height using Nanocom I was confused by the stored height values of 135 & 122. What did...

For sure the aluminium thread has stripped rather than the steel bolt. If it's not leaking, all well and good. But I think you'll need to Helicoil it when the cover is off next time.

I'd just replace the nuts. It's not that much more work to take the turbo off again if you have problems later.

It's quite heart-warming to hear that so many TD5s can do so many miles fairly trouble free. I've just had to swap my engine due to overheating whilst with previous owner. I can't say what lead to the fault in the first place. I had the block skimmed by 8 thou (.2mm) to get it level again...

Well done, that's a nice cheap fix. Just in time for winter too.

Yes mate, It's a 2001 Y reg TD5 auto but with a 15p engine. I don't know when that was changed but the rest of the vehicle has done 168k. The auto box has just been rebuilt as has the turbo. It's had a full service and a new MOT a month ago. It's not being used, just sitting inside waiting to...

You still looking for a D2? I'm not local, I'm in Suffolk. I have a 2001 auto TD5 for sale with a reconditioned gearbox. Looking for £2,500

Fixed my noisy wipers with new shims and aeroblades.

HavoK, I'm breaking a D2 if you want the front axle. Not sure how to PM you but contact me if you want parts. James

Yes, I found a load of rust falling out when I took the big nut off. I greased the spindle on the replacement. NFav, in case you're interested, I'm breaking a D2 which I think has ACE. Would you like me to check for a part or are you getting new stuff?

Is there anyone else out there with noisy wipers on a D2? I have just stripped mine down and found that not only does the motor work it's mounting screws loose, but the spindles where the wiper arms attach, can also become worn with excessive play. It's easy enough to tighten the motor screws...

Recently, the weekly shop has referred to "parts for Disco" rather than groceries for the house. It's just had a replacement block with new seals and gaskets throughout. The starter and alternator reconditioned, a new clutch and flywheel and a full service. Now the MOT man says it needs a...

Can I ask what kind of sensing arrangement we have in the hubs of the D2, a basket type thing with spokes that go past the speed sensor thus creating pulses? If SLABS receives this kind of signal, why wouldn't it just pass it on to the speedo where there could be a frequency to voltage...
