Here is a helpful reply, Buy a TD5 with Air Suspension. :boink:

Could the switch on the key be a little worn out?

This is a chance but you might find a lorry firm that has 24 service and if you slip one of the engineers a pie or even a beer he may supply you with a olive. I only say this as I have a Scania Yard 2 miles on one side and a Volvo place 2miles tuther direction. Any decent car spares place should...

I had posted my settings earlier in the thread but then once you quoted a manual I thought I better quote my source to be on the saferside. I failed to note he wanted D1 settings. My Bad.

According to my D2 manual (6th Edition) its Wheel nuts 140 Nm (103 lbf.ft)

I had a discussion on a motorbiking list were we talked about torque settings and one of the things that came out of it was that after a while bolts stretch and so manufactures settings will not always be the best idea. As they do it on the assumption on fresh nuts and bolts. Often the reason...

Wheel nuts 140 Nm (103 lbf.ft)

A engineer friend has his own guide to torque settings it goes from 1 finger to following through. I will try and find it if I can. IIRC he even stated some of the bolts/parts that require these.

TBH I only use the TW on stuff like engine bolts and sump bolts. Other than that most of it is done by feel. I have lots of jap crap motorbikes so I have to be rather careful as most of the previous owners have stripped most of the threads. If I am worried about them coming loose I drill and...

Minor grunt is my norm setting.

Earthing strap completed. I thought I better do it while its not raining. I did a check on the 3 bolts and all were ok. But I did undo them a little and copper bushed them.

Thanks for the response sierrafery. Well the warning only come on with a 5 second burst of the starter. 1. Battery looks old. It has a looking glass but I can see no colours other than silver. 2. Replaced it in July/Aug 3. Not looked at that. I don't have radio codes so reluctant to disconnect...

Well what happened was. Filled Discovery TD5 Auto up with fresh Diesel. Paid then got into the landy and went to start the engine caught then immediately stalled. So off with the ignition and on again. This time it just wouldn't start. The starter motor is turning nicely but its just not...

I would give a hand but other than Boxing day I don't get a day off until the 7th. I do have a starter motor contacts rebuild kit here as I think mine might be having issues. But it could also be earth wire for me so got that covered as well. Starter rebuild can wait for lighter evenings and...

Hmm, I was lead to believe, It is required by EPA that All 1996 and newer vehicles (cars and light trucks) sold in the United States must be OBD II compliant and this includes all Domestic, Asian and European vehicles.

I assume LR made the Disco OBD compliant. Has anyone had a play with this kit? WiFi OBD-II Car Diagnostics Tool for Apple iPad iPhone iPod Touc WiFi OBD-II Car Diagnostics Tool for Apple iPad iPhone iPod Touch [HM003] - $78.00 : Obdiitools, China on-board diagnostic tools center I am a sad git...

From what I hear the old compressor was full of water. How it got there is a mystery.

EGR Blank saves just 1mpg from my calculations. But at less than £10 and 30mins to fit. Its paid for within a few tank refills. Re-Map all depends on the kind of map setup you get. Some will soften power but give you lots better MPG but others that increase the power give you better MPG if you...
