Filled my TD5 Auto up last week, £100 for approx 80+ litres. I re-set the milometer at that time. Fuel warning light came on this week and I had covered 460 Miles. I'd have said 90% of that millage was on the motorway and under 70mph.

Looks like the sensors DO need to be calibrated after being replaced. Back end of my Disco is now on the floor and the compressor ain't pumping back up to required height, because I believe that the sensor is telling the ECU to let the air out as it thinks the Suspension is too high, when...

I got the same problem. Replaced the L/H sensor yesterday in the same way as described above and it run fine last night. My Wife just phoned to say that the back end is on the floor! It was fine this morning before I left for work. Any ideas chaps on what I need to do for repairs when I get home?

Thanks for the advice Guys, L/H side sensor had failed, so now has been replaced and so far so good.

Hi Chaps, I noticed this weekend whilst towing the caravan that the Self Leveling Suspension light came on. After a few tests today, the light only comes on once the caravan is hitched up. No sign of the light when driving normally without the caravan. Any ideas where the problem could lay...

Does anyone else find it hard to get full lock with their steering on a TD5 Series 2? When turning the wheel either way it's fine for the first 3/4 of movement but the last 1/4 it tightens up. There is some fluid which looks like it's leaking at the bottom of the steering box but there's no PAS...

Hi Guys, Just to let you all know it was the Gearbox Selector Switch that was faulty. Done the job myself with a 10mm socket and a 13mm spanner and took approx half hour, without even Jacking her up and without the Land Rover aligning tool either. During that time I saved myself just over £100...

Is this normal for all TD5's? As I have noticed a quiet pumping sound sometimes when I turn the engine off, which seems to last for around a minute until it stops. However, if I open a door and then close it the noise stops...... I may add rear suspension has always stayed level to date.

Thanks for the replys Guys. I've had the battery checked out along with the alternator with an auto electrician and everything is working fine. Battery is in good condition. However, when I now turn the ignition key just before starting up, all the lights on dash board come on and then go...

What colour is the Texaco 14315 Cold Climate Fluid?

Hi All, Finally got my TD5 but noticed this morning when I first started her up both the Sport & Manual Lights stayed on (Green). I switched the engine off & re-started, lights stayed out and everything was fine. Any ideas guys?

Apparently all fixed now as they have replaced a "Module"?

Thanks for the info "Pastmaster". Hopefully like you say the new SLABS ECU should cure this problem and if so I'll check the invoice making sure that they have hopefully fitted the new later type ECU.

The latest update....... The vehicle is now at the Land Rover Dealers having a ECU replaced (not sure which one) as firstly they were having problems getting it linked up and "communicating". I guess he means linking it upto the Land Rover dealers Testbook? He did go on to say that when he...

I put a deposit on a 2000 Discovery TD5 Auto a fortnight ago and everything was great. I was due to collect it a week later. I recieved a call from the garage owner who was selling the Discovery two days later who said that the ABS light & others had come on the dash (3 amigos) He said he was...

Thanks for the replys Guy's. Hopefully I will be collecting My TD5 this week so this sounds like my first job under the bonnet :)

Hi, I just put a post on the TD5 section looking for some more info about this modification. How much difference are you finding MPG wise?

Hi, I have seen the EGR Removal Kits advertised, are they any good? worth the money? Not really after extra performance but better MPG would be preferable.

Hi, I purchased my first Discovery this weekend and when I viewed it, it was rather dirty underneath, with mud/grass. First thing I'll do when the weather get's a little better is to get the pressure washer on it underneath then a going over with a wire brush and then give it a good coat of...

Hi Everyone, I've been browsing the forum for the last couple of weeks and have found some great info on here. Finally today I took the plunge and bought my first Land Rover, an X-reg Discovery ES TD5 Auto. No doubt over the coming weeks I will be looking for some advice :) Regards, Lee
