Just come back from ATS today - They ordered in 4 x 235/70/16 and then refused to fit them today saying they were too narrow...:rolleyes:

Errr.... a set of BF Goodrich AT's for a Discovery TD5.

No doubt this has been covered before but I’ve done a search and didn’t have any luck. I’ve always ran my 300TDI on GoodrichAT’s and now the time has come to upgrade the tyres on my 03 TD-5. I’ve been around some of the main tyre dealers getting quotations and I swear when they see a big 4x4...

Thanks guys! Sorry its been discussed before (I did do a search before posting with no luck). it’s a big weight off my mind!! :)

Many thanks, but this is on start-up - the vehicle isn’t moving. It almost sound like its coming through the dashboard, but if you put your foot on the break pedal you can ‘feel’ it as well as hear it .:confused:

Hi guys, I’m after a little bit of help or at least some info to help put my mind at rest…. I have a 2003 TD5 Discovery, I’ve owned it for a few months and one thing is puzzling/worrying me - when I start her up a bet a vibration/rumble/knocking through the break pedal. Is this the ABS doing...

This is a pic of my sills on my new TD5 - A 300TDI wouldnt look like this!

That’s all very well slagging off TD5’s but I’ve owned a 3OO for over 5 years and its rusted away to buggery! Its cost me £600 to repair. My point is even if you have the money, its hard to find a good 300TDI these days, believe me I looked! Ended up buying a TD5 because the...

Is it a common fault then? I’ve heard a few stories of garages cutting the boot floor to get at the pumps, I’d like to think this isn’t the norm as I really don’t want my baby cut about! :eek:

He linked up the diagnostics but for some reason the Disco wouldn’t talk to the AA, I suspect its fuel pump as there was plenty of diesel in it. Its still under the independent dealers warranty so I guess I’ll find out more tomorrow. Its only done 68K - I know these Discos have a...

Week 4 of TD5 ownership and I get a free ride home in an AA van, not good! She started fine when I jumped in after work, drove half a mile and then a very sudden loss of all power until I eventually ground to a halt on a blind bend. No warning lights on dash and she was running like a dream...

Took the car down the local village hall carpark (for obvious reasons!)

Just a few pictures of Sunday mornings job of trying to extend the life of the newly acquired Discovery 2 TD5. My old 300 TDI rusted away on the sills fairly badly and although I had good intentions of coating the inside with Waxoyl, I just never got round to it! :rolleyes: The 1st picture is...

Just a quick up-date - this is incorrect, just had mine done, moved the reg from the 300TDI (no MOT) to the TD5 (with MOT) no problem :)

Ditto to that.
