Hi there, If you look under the bonnet at the main fuse box while standing at the driver's side there should be 2 15amp fused relays and a bright yellow voltage sensing relay at the left hand end of the fuse box towards the bulkhead. These relays are outside the main fuse box so they are...

As the engine ECU fuels to the amount of air available chipping will cause no problems at all.

Hi there, I fitted a Safari snorkel, the one that goes down the outside of the wing, last year to my 2000MY TD5 and it didn't make any difference at all to the MPG, which I calculate every tank fill. One thing I did notice is that around 40mph+ the amount of air going into the engine did...

Hi all, An update on fuel comsumption after a few tankfuls of fuel using this steinhauer P-box. At first I couldn't stop accelerating away from roundabouts and suchlike with a big grin on my face and suffered about a 10% drop in comsumption. Now after limiting myself to overtaking safely and...

Hi all, I've been watching with interest the discussions about chipping your TD5's. I was probably going to go down the Dynachip road due your combined good experiences until I was browsing EBay for no particular reason and came upon a Steinbauer P-Box chip that I couldn't resist for the...

Hi there, Discovery 2's alter the accelerator pedal 'feel' when in low box compared to high. This is to enable better control when moving over rough terrain and your foot may be bouncing up and down on the pedal. Someone wiser than I may be able to tell you why your getting the effect you...

Do 2004 TD5's have catalytic converters? Rescued my nephew from the motorway the other week in his Vauxhall van(?). Engine would run,lots of black smoke would allow him to run downhill but as soon as it got to an incline it just wouldn't pull. Eventually was traced to the front of the cat...

Hi All, Has anyone out there in Landy Zone Land put a NATO hitch on a Disco 2 without changing the rear bumper? Any advice / pictures would be appreciated. Secondly are Sankey trailer standard pattern wheel studs compatable with Disco 2 wheels? Thanking you all in anticipation Regards

Hi again, Just been looking at some of my old fuelling records for my 2000 TD5 Discovery. I think I can answer you question 1 now. My model only has a 2 pot throttle sensor and not the 3 pot one fitted to later models but Nanocom comes up with a pot 3 reading. At constant speed, say on a...

Hi Borneo, 1. Don't know 2. Normal inlet manifold pressure at sea level is about 220Kpa. This is made up of standard atmospheric pressure of 14.7psi (101.3Kpa) and the maximum TD5 turbo boost of about 17psi (117.2Kpa) making up 218.5Kpa At 2000ft your ambient pressure reading of 89Kpa...

Hi there, Have been reading about the low resonance rumble on this thread and it makes you start to listen carefully to your car. But believe me I think you can listen too hard. Was travelling back home from the supermarket today passing close by Sheffield United's graound when I heard a...

Hi Landmark, Yes you can tell your non-flash ECU about your new injectors with Nanocom. What you can't do is change the fuel mapping. Regards

Hi there, Very interested in this thread as I've had clutch judder twice now on first gear. When I first bought the car last September the clutch juddered for a few weeks until every day use made it go away. The car had only done 600 miles in 6 months before I bought it. How much usage...

Hi there, Does it have ACE? One of the things to do when servicing a car with ACE is to check the valve block on the side of the chassis under the drivers door. Have a look behind it in the small gap between the block and the chassis rail. Stones can be trapped between here and cause...

Hi there, Do you brim the tank at the end of a long run or before you set off? I always fill the tank till the hose cuts off. I've found that if the tank is hot, don't forget fuel goes back to the tank at a hell of a temperature in a TD5, then you can't get as much in. If I fill up when...

Hi all, Thought I had a leak on the coolant when I bought my 2000 TD5 last September. Every time I checked it it was below the MAX mark on the header tank by about 1 inch. Kept filling it up and every time it was below. Then I read somewhere that some header tanks like to find their own...

Hi there, Never use full throtle on a 19J in my opinion. With love and care they'll last for ever but they hate heat and high revs. I guess it smokes simply because on one of these engines you can't pull enough cool air into them to burn all the fuel the pump will put into the engine when you...

Hi there, I've always found Warren at WGB Autos, 52 Highfield Place, Sheffield 01142555315 (that's taken from Yell.com) to be most knowledgable and helpful. Difficulty is getting your car booked in as he's always busy. He doesn't like fitting your own bought parts and prefers to use what...

Yep I think you're right Pastmaster. I think I probably hit the brake and then the clutch before contact with the wall. The thing is I was already 45 degrees to the slope and half a car length from contact before I did that but up to that point thought I was doing OK. It took me about 10...
