Im currently away on work ,and recieved a call from my wife in France ,worried about a smell and smoke coming from our 2005 tdv6. The smoke and smell is coming from Unit located on the front righthand side infront of the battery,wife tells me it has a label stating Webasto.I think it must be a...

Decided today to give my wifes disco 3 tdv6 a long awaited oil change . Drained oil from below,as i carefully removed the oil filter it would not release easily upwards so i just released the fuel branch which has an electrical connection on top ,as i did this the lower pipe on the Y broke...

Wondered if anyone could shed some light on this one. I currently run a disco 2005,TDV6, Manual,103,000miles which was fully serviced 10k ago. I have noticed in the last three months the fuel consumption has dropped and recently the engine lacks power and will not rev up,it does clear...

BIG THANKS Mr Noisy, popped up no problems. Latch and cable all grease up, all due to the normal damp Brittany climate. New battery installed and treated the key fobs to new cells. Hopefully i can get the last few jobs completed before the snow thats forecast. Then fun fun fun.

Ive had them all 200,300,td5,v8's and i can safely say that my current smoke makes me smile everytime i drive it the sound, the power is fantastic for a breeze bloke and thats my tdv6 manual,the sound takes me back to the days when i had capris and my sierra 4x4 2.8 v6. Shes really good on fuel...

Help ,the pleasures of owning a land rover,i dont learn and im now on number 35 . Just wrestled with clutch replacement ,timing kit and complete service at the same time even managed to do this with a broken little finger and knuckle. Everything put back together and running sweet,dropped the...

Got the bl dy things apart,its amazing what you can do with a nice new socket set,new clutch in, timing belt kit fitted, a bit of a cow to re marry up to gearbox but its in and bolted up,tommorow i will try and remember what goes where,and hopefully running by the end of the weekend. Cheers for...

Thanks for all your advice. I have just received my new socket set,not bad, bought sunday night ,delivered to France wed pm. When i do get the bloody thing apart im going to do a timing kit,blank the egr valve and when it goes back together a de cat pipe. Lots to do, luckily i have a massive...

Thanks BMP42 for you help,i have completely removed mounts and lower engine until the timing casing rests on the steeringbox.Yes it has slightly improved access to the nuts but they are so tight.The ones i have managed to removed required multiple extension barr and then a rigid bar with 2'...

Nothing for it,i will have to purchase another socket set to go with the other three, i will buy 6 sided socket set to try and prevent slippage/rounding off of nuts. Deff 15mm just checked with another site .

the nuts are deth 15 mm, ,do you think it would help if i dropped off the steering box so the engine could drop lower to allow access to the 3 upper fixings on the bell housing?

Im going the remove the engine route to replace the clutch. Bolts in the bottom of the bellhousing to engine are 13mm, The nuts that run around the top are 14/15mm but very shallow in depth with a taper so theres not a lot of meat for any socket,but how the hell do you access them when the...

The lower bolts were all 13mm but the nuts are between 14 & 15mm. When you say drop the gearbox, do you mean keep all the props connected but just remove the two mountings?

Clutch was just gone on my 95,300tdi . Bought the bits ,it was a sunny day today so out came the tools and the plasters at the ready. As per Haynes i have removed everything as per the manual ,engine hoist attached and ready to remove the last three top fixings to release the engine from the...

Not sure where to go next,whilst driving home from work yesterday i noticed the temp gauge was reading high, I stopped and waited for the engine to cool down . Whilst under the bonnet i noticed that the expansion tank had swollen and it would appear that i have a very highly pressurised system...
