Yes, Village garage in west Wales, established more than 40 years. He sends heads off to a local guy for testing. As above (Before Spending money on stripping it for testing, what tel tail signs are to look for that the head is either ok or knackered?). To get the head ready for testing means...

Cylinder head is being removed on Monday. Before Spending money on stripping it for testing what tel tail signs are to look for that the head is either ok or knackered? The car is a 51 plate and probably a 10p model, but knowing the likely issues of both 10p and 15p would be helpful. History...

Ok thanks. The car is at the garage now and I've instructed them to remove head and inspect, then we go from there depending what they find. Val.

The cylinder head has failed on my 51 plate TD5 Discovery. I'm thinking of just getting a recon head. I've read that there are different types. How do I know which is he correct one for my car? Val.

Well, Head gasket gone is the diagnosis. Anyone recommend me where to get a reconditioned head, or a good secondhand one with some history/ reliable source? Val.

Yes your right, Hose pressure normal. I dropped it off at the local garage this morning. He did a pressure test, nothing obvious. Seems the water level has been dropping over the last months despite topping up regularly. Seems I need to bleed the system too. It's going in for a service this...

Yes pressure check was done and a leak from the hose at the back of the head was trimmed to stop this. I leave the car for five days (while I am away in my truck) and there was still a fair amount of pressure in the system this evening. I topped up the water before starting the engine. Yes the...

My TD5 has been using a little water over the last months. Today it started fluffing/missing, temperature went up and then red overheat light came on. I had to let it cool and topped up the water and then it stopped fluffing/missing. A bit later it started again. Same again, stop let it cool add...

Surprising how well the TD5 corners isn't it. Considering it weighs in at a little over two and a half tones. Constant 4 wheel drive and the funky anti roll thingy-ma-jig (that I can't remember the name of). I found (quite unintentionally mind) that on road tyres it will drift the roundabouts...

Thanks I'll have a look. Just been on ebay, seems there are two different types?? Val.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the CC cabin thermostat/sensor. Can it be replaced or serviced/cleaned? My CC thermostat is playing up. Or at least I presume it's the thermostat. When I set off the cabin heater warms up as one would expect. Then it seems to go well beyond the setting...

Just wondering, if it is possible to adjust the settings for the VVC mechs, so it comes in at lower revs? Would make it a whole lot more useful wouldn't it. Val.

Which head and ECU are you using, 145 or 160, do they match? [1999 (EU2) Rover 200 motor] That'll be the 145. What are you hoping to gain? Depending on the freelanders current power, I'm guessing 120? the 99 car is too early for the 135. You will get more power, but only at the top of the rev...

Hello, The Mitsubishi is dead. Long live the Land Rover Discovery. 2001 TD5. Never had, driven or even sat in one before. Decided to go for one because, being British they might be easier and cheaper to fix than the Mitsi. Fingers crossed for now. Val.

Thanks for your suggestions guys, appreciated. I'll do some more searching and make an introduction. Val.

Hello Folks, I have a window that doesn't go down in my Discovery 2. It is the passenger side/NS front window. It's up at the moment (which I suppose is a good thing considering) and you can hear a click when the switch is pressed in the button to the close position. But no click when pressed...
