Hi all,my windscreen wipers are not touching the windscreen properly seems like the springs are weak or the pivots have gone stiff. Is there an easy fix for this or does it mean getting some replacement wiper arms,or even fitting some differant arms from another model?

Hi all I have a 99 V plate Silver TD5 GS 112k Head the head done at 90k and converted to coils aswell good condition 6 months mot and 6 months tax What's it worth please Dave.

That does sound like the possible cause,maybe one of the sliders being bent i think i will chance these fist as a matter of cause before shelling out on a caliper as this seems to be ok ,as the piston is not sticking.

Hmm my money is on a dodgy caliper, maybe the piston is partily siezed and not releasing off enough. It cant be the sliders as these are free when built back together and the piston still pushed in and pads fitted,just thought it would wear both pads if the brake was binding. I'm also...

It moves freely on the sliders when assembled but soon as you apply the footbrake it goes tight where as there should be a little movement from the caliper on the slide pins when footbrake is not applied.

It's not a wind back piston,it's a push back piston but doesn't seem siezed when i have the big water pump pliers on it pushing it back in.

Thought there was only one big piston tbh

Hi all I've got a problem with the O/S rear brake pad outer one keeps wearing down and the brake disc getting hot. I've stripped everything down piston doesn't seem to be siezed and the guide pins are free and copper greased up. I have fitted new pads and it is still binding and getting hot is...

Right bit of an update i have changed the belt again for a new one this time,as the one i used was a spare i found when i got the disco (cheapskate)and the noise has now gone all i need to do now is change one of the idler pulleys as this has some play and is noisy glad din't fork out for a...

good information

Cheers for the replies im gonna sort this while i'm off work at the weekend do you need a special tool to get the viscous fan coupling off?

Was it an easy enough job to do,as its all hidden under the bracketwork and runs the water pump aswell as i noticed

Cheers for the reply i will keep this in mind as i have found a td5 in a breakers near where i work, it's just an irratating noise as it is just as loud as the engine pretty much

bump anyone?

Right i changed the power steer fluid today and this has not solved the problem,which i thought i wouldn't anyway,i also replaced the belt which has quitened the noise slightly,but the whining noise is still there around the power steer pump pulley and 2 idler pulley areas,so i think i might...

Yeah pretty much the same as sort of whine woooing noise yeah lol, and gets louder when you are on the move......It doesn't do this noise just when steering it does this constently... if this helps!

I only have one cap on the p/steer reservoir,and also has been coverted from air to coils also

Sorry for being thick, but not had anything to do with Discos before,how do i know if it has ACE fitted?

Right i have had a look and it seems to be the power steer pump which is noisy,but as this drives the water pump aswell,how do i know which to change,as ive been quoted £140 for a power steer pump and don't want to change this to find it was the water pump that was at fault! Dave

I will check the pulleys when i do the belt at the weekend Cheers
