Thanks Lynall,will certainly give them a go...

Anybody any ideas on the above...my main question in brief...Should the engine of my TD5 stall due to airlocking/water shortage...

Thanks guys, I live in Dublin and the local LR dealer is expensive and also finds other problems which cost more but I will sound out the Kwik Fit type of outfits and see what they have to offer and by the way whats the difference between recharging and topping up and how would I know which...

HI,Has anybody topped up their a/c gas in a td5 with one of those off the shelf refills. I find my temperature won't go that low on a hot day so figure the gas needs topping up. If so is it recommended and easy and safe to do ,or should I go to a dealer and get fleeced for something else..

A few weeks back got a fill of really cheap diesel and was running fine afterwards on the few short trips here and there,however noticed on a little longer trip engine started to stall occasionally for about a second at a time . I put this down to the cheap diesel. We then went away on a...

Hi Pat, I think you should look at replacing the ACE with standard ARB's as I did recently. ACE is a great feature and works really well when you don't have problems ,as in newer cars ,but in time becomes a money pit as you have six pipes which can leak (are quite difficult to replace and you...

This is a continuation of my earlier threads where I encountered more problems sourcing the correct parts and info.,so assume I'm right in opening a new thread. And thanks again Urban Panzer,the message is clear however I do have 2 more issues I need to address. I had great confidence in L.R...

Are you on SLS Trailblazer or rearcoils as there is a difference

Having connected up and tightened everything (new ACE pipes ,bars and links etc. thanks for all the help in ealier threads)I do now have a 1 second drip under the valve block(that's after a bit of a hard run ,but while ticking over outside my house) so will now de-frock her and go for the...

Thanks for the info Urban Panzer and am still undecided as I've not been able to get her finally tightened up and bracketed ,filled and checked for leakage due to monsoon weather and being away for a few days,but also on my mind is removing of SLS as I know then I would have to order different...

Hi Urban Panzer/others, Thanks for the advice. I totally agree with what you say about the ACE reliability/design .I've had repairs done last year to the front where the heavy duty plastic pipe chaffed against the battery box,now this year the rear pipes replaced, and on inspection I wouldn't...

Hi Folks, I've posted earlier threads wrt changing rear ace pipes and have now had them delivered incl. 2 seals ,filter and a few other small bits and pieces so have spent about £250 so far. Yesterday, having tried everything to remove the 2 seals ,first the bolt as advised,then attempted...

Hi Paul &Biggeee. I am just about to change rear pipes for new ones and removed rollbar to change bushes and clean around the underneath as this was the cause of my pipes leaking in the first place.The rubber mounting bracket (connecting the pipes in rear wheelarch area)was caked in mud and dirt...

Hi, Am just about to install new rear ACE pipes (03 vehicle) and have taken down the rollbar to make it easy and replace the bushes and droplinks, as well as valve block filter and seals,but have read various threads on bleeding the system,some saying it will eventually bleed itself if you take...

Hi Telescopix,I've had that problem on my 03D2 but mine was a little worse as I couldn't open the door with the key (lock was broken internally). So I figured the actual car was immobilised as the dash red light was flashing every second. So I had an idea the fob was out of synch with the alarm...

Hi SVRIDER ,My rear ACE Pipes are done in too and thought this could be a good idea to just inhibit the rear ACE functionality and noticed you did it. Has it been successfull as it's over a year since you did it. I would also like to know what you used to blank off the valve block ports..any...

Droplink nut offside appears to be turning completely and not loosening .I couldn't get a turn while underneath the car so put a trolly jack under the 18 spanner which started moving but then I noticed the threaded part was moving with it.Have I broken this little joint or what? Any ideas on how...

Thanks Paul,and a good point about the actuator dust cover which doesn't look great either. I also have a box of o rings I bought in Lidl's for a fiver .Would you suggest putting an extra coat of Hammerite on the new pipes (if I buy new,if not I'll definitely coat the old ones)or would you think...

Hi Folks, New here, so am still learning, but just mistakenly posted this thread below in detail in the Intro.section .So here it is again in the proper place this time..hopefully more of you will see it. Yesterday while driving y 03 Disco 2 through the city , traffic was mayhem ,police...
