I agree, annoyingly there was a delay between the vehicle being advertised (with new MOT) and us picking it up, so it's now a month since the MOT although we've only had it 10 days. Will wait to hear back from my garage what they reckon but at the very least will be screaming back to the seller...

Unfortunately it was a private sale.... although have had it less than two weeks In fairness from what I can gather browsing on here and other LR forums the ACE and the steering box issues are very common so if the rest of the car is sound then may be better with the devil we know? Knowing my...

Well, have just dropped it off at my local independents and it's had half a job done on converting the ACE to standard anti roll bars. The pump has been removed and there's an idler and pulley (or was it belt?) under the bonnet however the hydraulic rams are still in place which isn't good long...

Okay, I'd been fed some mis information re springs and SLS, is there an easy way of telling if the ACE pump has been removed and replaced by an idler? It's going into my local independent LR specialists next week and won't be driven in the mean time but as you can imagine I'm getting a bit...

So if ACE has been disabled by hand. . . is this an issue? I have no intention of chucking the car round corners as I only use it to tow my horse trailer... It feels normal to drive, although was vile with the trailer on the back, very light steering and a nasty inclination to start snaking...

Thanks for all the well wishes, keeping my fingers crossed it will turn out to be straight forward - well, as straight forward as it can ever be with a Td5!

Thanks, turned the key on the LR this morning and the ACE warning light doesn't come in at all. Can only assume now that the ACE system is buggered somewhere along the line hence leaking and we've been conned by the warning system being disabled. To say I'm not a happy bunny would be putting...

So if the ACE light comes on when I turn the key and then goes out, hopefully is a minor leak. . . however if no ACE light comes on then I've been conned?

Thanks David, haven't looked for the ACE light on the dash - I'm assuming if there's no fault it goes red, orange and then goes out altogether? I'll start it up tomorrow and see if there's a light there. It was a private seller, do I have any come back? Although he deals a bit on the side...

Hello Recently bought a 99 TD5 ES privately with a new MOT last week. Was towing this week when the coolant warning light came on driving down the motorway, was going to pull over when I could (engine temp was okay) to check it but went out after a couple of minutes so carried on journey...
