Hello

Hi. I have just purchased a 2002 Discovery Td5 manual as a project for myself and my 16 year old son. Working through the mot fail list. This site has proved invaluable. We have fixed the 3 amigos. Currently working on srs short to ignition drivers airbag. Then 2 Rh ball joints to do.

Failed MOT on 3 Amigos (fixed). SRS light on. Still working on this. 2 offside ball joints (next job). Wiper blades (done). Sidelight (done). Headlight aim (done). Twisted brake hose (done). Chassis is rusty but ok. It had a running issue. Lack of power over 3000rpm/ engine cutting out. Fitted a spacer to crank sensor today and now it runs and revs freely.
Not too bad for £1400.

SRS sorted. Faulty ECU. Ten quid from the bay
Ball joints next.

Ball joint are off. All done on the drive. Sleet and rain stopped play.

Managed to finish ball joints today. Not too bad on the driveway and with a 60 quid bay tool.
Just the chassis to scrape and clean off. Treat with aqua steel and re-underseal.
I will then be a happy bunny.

All MOT work completed. Next job coolant and thermostat.

So which tool did you buy ??

E bay special. 21 piece.

Well MOT passed yesterday ( 1 advisory.....oil leak ). Took for a spin on the motorway today and it pulls like a train.
I originally bought from a sales lot who had had it diagnosed as worn dmf catching crank sensor. I test drove it and had no power going up hill.
Did a bit of research and fitted a spacer and replaced missing o ring on the sensor.
It now goes well.
