Sorry that’s my old school diy mechanics, basically the small pipe that connects from the boost pipe to the thingymabob that has 2 other small pipes attached to it.

So got to the bottom of my misfire today, was a split in the vacuum pipe going from the boost pipe, can’t believe I hadn’t seen it before but I guess it’s quite hidden

Sounds ominous, is there a way to tell if it’s been done?

Ok sounds good, what does fuse 2 do? Excuse my ignorance. What should the manifold pressure be showing?

Forgot to mention no oil on the ecu connector, any other way to check ? Was this an issue through the life of the D2’s mines quite a late one so was hoping I’d avoid that potential issue

So I’m getting there with my “new to me” disco (2004 TD5) with the help from this forum. ACE leak turned out to be a loose banjo bolt. The apparent auxiliary belt squealing was traced to a manifold issue, not a warped manifold but a loose one, 2 nuts loose, I missing, possibly after a refit from...

So after my ACE dumped its oil I set about finding the problem, extremely easily as it happens, the banjo bolt was loose by at least a turn. Pitched pump, refitted pipe, followed bleed procedure. All good, definitely plenty of return fluid. But I still have a really loud squeal as if the belt is...

Yeah a good Land Rover specific scan tool is an absolute must. They are challenging to own for sure but I’ve had 3 now and love them, the facelift is much much nicer if you can get one, 2009/2010 and I wouldn’t consider the petrol, the tdv8 is a cracking engine

Forgot to answer about running costs. I’d expect more than a TD5 but depends who maintains it for you, I do most bits myself and totally rely i. This forum. I do know that if I could only have one car it would be an L322 without doubt.

Mine was 3.6 TDV8 which is a massive improvement on the TD6, was top spec with great seats, love them to be honest, actually sold it and bought a Nissan Leaf because I get free electric at work, soon decided I’d rather pay for diesel lol, I’d have a Tesla but nothing else comes close to them.

Lol that is very true although I think the chassis could of done with that a long while ago. Yes keep meaning to change the pic, sold the L322 back in March, fuel consumption on my 3 mile commute was around 18mpg, got a BMW 640d GC that does 40mpg now and don’t need multiple 4x4’s

I did find a “how to” for the removal, very straight forward so all good, but useful tips on the priming. now just need to remove all the oil that is literally all over that side of the engine compartment. The joys of Land Rover ownership lol

Yeah I’d defo prefer to fix it than remove it, I would have the air springs if they hadn’t already been removed, I’m tempted to reinstate them as I don’t think much was removed, looks like the pump and pipe work is still intact

Ok thanks that’s useful to know, I’d read that you can’t self bleed it properly without Hawkeye but makes sense that you get rid of most of the air before it’s spinning quickly.

I did search but didn’t find anything useful, you wouldn’t know who it as? I’ve got a friends Hawkeye that I understand is used to bleed the pump.

So my ACE pump started squealing and very quickly dumped all it oil over the engine. Have googled how to replace the pump but just get guides on how to replace the ACE system rather than how to replace the pump for a new pump. Any help and guides to do this would be appreciated.

Ah, that’s not good then, I don’t suppose we have a “map” of nanacom users willing to assist for beer tokens on this forum?

So I’ve purchased a 2004 TD5, much nicer than my 2000 TD5. The key fob is inop, one of the micro switches is missing and the other lights up the led but doesn’t lock the car. I’ve got my old fob that I know works and a mate with Hawkeye, is it possible to code that fob to my new truck with Hawkeye?

Ok I suspected as much but thank you for confirming.

So after a little puddle jumping in Wiltshire my battery light came on, had to drive home with very little battery and no charging, got more or less home before the dash went blank and indicators stopped, still had rear and brake lights so wasn’t a drama. Easy enough to diagnose a faulty...
