cheers again lads

cheers orch, i looked at island 4x4 and there was a couple to choose from. i asked them a question about which one would suit, they asked for a chasis number and i heard no more...i will have another look

hi guys, i have discovery td5 year 2000 chasis number salltgm93ya270703 and need a fuel pressure regulator. does anyone know the part number for this year? i dont want to spend too much and want to get one from somewhere that will have the gasket and o rings and will deliverto nz....any ideas...

sorry lads, had to add this to go back to top....wrong end of the world, but previous question still there about the bosch regulator

cheers lads, after giving it a good degreasing and hose down it looks like the pressure regulator. when fitting a new one the book says fit new gasket and o rings, does anything go on the gasket? also a bosch one from www.island4x4.co.uk is half the price of a genuine one, has anyone had any...

hi guys, i have a td5 year 2ooo and it has a diesel leak, i thought it was coming from the rocker gasket (would this be possible?)

yes biglad, i was pretty sure that i had read on here about running without them, done a bit of a search and didnt find much. i wasnt sure of reasons for going without one but that has cleared a few things up, cheers

yes m50dpp, the engineers could be right. just changed the steering pump and havnt refitted the fan yet. i think i was alway going to, just wanted to know. i suppose i could have gone without it as no such thing as a traffic jam here so always moving. better fuel economy not an issue...

hi guys, a quick question or two.....do i need my viscous fan fitted on and what are the advantages, if any, not having it?

I have changed the pump and there was signs of a bit of a leakbetween the two sections of the pump. In the haynes book there is talk of a bleeding screw on the steering box, where do I reach this from? Its got dark now so bad light stopped play. I have given the wheel a little wiggle, dont...

hi guys, new pump arriving tomorrow, the noise has got worse( sounds like a cordless drill when turning). also when turning the wheel it intermitently gets harder then eases off again on the same turn. losing fluid aswell now. i am hoping this still sounds like the pump to you guys

at the end of the day the one you are looking at seems a tidy motor, you buy it and mend things as they go wrong, just like any other car.

sensible advice from pedros, also buy some spanners and expect to do some work yourself. with guidance from mr haynes and the chaps on here a lot of the jobs end up quite simple. you can always ask sierrafery who is a genius and knows all.

looking at island 4x4 £120 or there abouts, is there anything else i will need. think i will have a crack at it myself, already have a new auxilary drive belt to sling on.

cheers james, in your opinion if a mechanic was to listen to it would he know if its the pump or would it need a deeper investigation

i have already checked the fluid level, it was a bit low, topped it up noise was still there. would driving it like this damage it further or is the pump is probably bolloxt already? cheers for replies

hi guys, went around a couple of corners and heard an odd noise, stopped at the side of the road and turned the steering wheel both ways and there was a loud whirring noise...any ideas what this would be?

i brought mine to NZ with 110,000 miles on it ( i must have been mental). joined the AA, been towed home once when i couldnt turn the key. i dont think of it as unreliable. WHO DARES WINS RODNEY

yes.... you dont have to have it but its cheap anyway. my boy who is 15 was added to our mini insurance for £0. the ins for a year for it was only £40 to start with. and yes you start driving at 15, although it has gone up to 16 but he already had his license so 15 it is

just passed a w.o.f ( nz mot):D but found out while iwas there, no emision test just a visual to see its not too smokey..... it just gets better and better here. so far, half price diesel compared to uk, dont have to have insurance, and easy mot's
