Thanks to Members who offered advice on my increased Disco TD5 oil consumption question/post - 16 Jan 2024. Having considered the advice, I think it is most likely to be the turbo. I am planning to buy a new turbo cartridge. I have seen several on www.ebay.co.uk. The cheapest ones appear to...

Many thanks. My mistake - now changed to correct image. Really just trying to find-out which cartridge to buy and which ones to avoid. No back-up here in Malawi.

After considering the useful advice offered above - for which, many thanks - I'm going to replace the turbo cartridge. I think most likely I have a turbo seal gone. I've looked on ebay UK and there are various cartridges (see photo) - some from China. Can anyone offer advice on which cartridge...

I have owned a Discovery 2 (TD5) for more than 10 years. I bought the vehicle in Malawi, SE Africa, from the original owner, who had bought the vehicle from a UK dealer and shipped it to Malawi new in 2003. Recently, I discovered that the spare key fob (Valeo) that I’d ‘stashed’ under the...

Thanks for quick response. Checked 2 wks ago & can't remember a smell but will check again. Would I need to remove the cylinder head to replace injector seals?

Dear Members, I have a 2003 D2 (TD5) based in Malawi SE Africa. 150,000km (94,000 miles); 2 careful owners from new. Since 2010 it has used very little oil between regular changes. On journeys I'm normally driving at max 2,500rpm. On odd occasion driving at 3,000rpm it will use more oil but...
