    2.25 petrol rough idle

    Many years ago on an old car I had the same symptoms and rough idle cutting out but started up when cold, eventually not start at all, it turned out to be the coil.

    Central locking on passenger door

    Its nearly always the passenger side actuator that stops working, usually in winter especially if the car is not being used as much, a good squirt of WD40 usually frees it off. I had to do this every winter, but I now preempt the situation and give it a good squirt before winter sets in. I also...

    TD5 clutch fitting price

    Considering the time it takes to remove the gearbox and refit with new clutch I think the price is not unreasonable at all.

    BBUS/ AMR 4974

    The only time I have had spurious alarms was due to the under bonnet switch on the bulkhead not being straight and triggering the alarm, straightening the switch so the bonnet meets it and disarm's it sorted it out, the rubber gaiter was split allowing the switch arm to go off centre, I used...

    Manual gearbox will not have a gearbox temperature warning. They were for the auto box version. Has the landy been converted or instrument cluster changed.

    A bit has fallen off!!

    Push the A pillar trim back down so the black lines up with the scuttle panel and replace the missing piece at the top. Seriously though this must be a common problem as there are loads for sale on e-bay.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Fuel leak at filter head unit turned out to be corrosion that had eaten away the edge of the return pipe connection point so copper sealing washer was not sealing, two of the others were also corroded and it would have only been a short time before they leaked, then to cap it off the fuel pump...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    After 20 years I had to replace a headlight bulb for the first time, one week later the other side went out in sympathy so changed that too, I wonder if these will last as long. Next job is to fix a fuel leak at one of the filter connections

    Td5 no start

    Try pressing the fuel cut off inertia switch button on the bulkhead, my TD5 did not start one day and thats what it was, it must have tripped shutting off the fuel, after resetting the switch it fired up instantly.

    [Newbie]: TD5 starting problems

    Try the easiest thing first charge your battery or replace it for a heavy duty truck battery, TD5's require a good battery to spin them over fast enough to start in cold weather, once started they are fine, classic battery issue.

    Check your clutch fluid level, have you a small wet patch under your clutch peddle ?. If so master cylinder seal will be leaking.

    Battery discharge overnight

    Most likely the alternator Diode has been damaged, this is a one way switch to send power to the battery, if it is damaged current will flow backwards.

    Black smoke and no power

    Photo 2 are emission control solenoids not fuel injectors, if your egr is blanked off the vacuum pipe will be redundant but should be blanked off. Check your air inlet pipes for leaks, from filter to aftercooler and turbo and inlet manifold for leaks and split hoses. Remove blanking plate and...
