Just done the frist service on me disco all going well, done oil filter, centrifuge filter, and what have you, now i've changed the fuel filter, this is where it gets bollocks, i put the new filter on, did the purge thing to get the air out of the system and for some reason there's what sounds like a whirring noise coming from the tank area, i took the fuel filter off again and did the process again, same thing .........:(

it took her for a spin and she ran fine, but the noise is still there.

One would imagine the noise is coming from the fuel pump, but why would it stay on all the time?

Thanks
Stuart

Do you mean it stays on even with the ignition off or stays on only with the ignition on?
 
I'll take it for a run and see how i get on with it, How awkward is the fuel pump to change?

If this had been any other car i'd had i think i'd be reet ****ed off, but i don't feel anything like that with the Disco, i know its a pain in the arse and costs money but i'm quite enjoying the tinkering with it, if for nothing to keep me outa kids way......:D

It is in the tank just to tick you off. I have never done one on a TD5 disco but have been told you need arms like Mr Tickle. They cost a bout £200
 
When changed mine it was the same noise; I was worry about the fuel pump but after a few days the noise dissapears;and I didn't fill the filter with diesel before fitting.Check also for leaks(to see if there is any air coming in) but I don't think there is the case.
 
Hi,
Pumps are a doddle to change, lift up carpet to reveal a circular plate. Remove this and pump is there, remove the four pipes and unscrew the large black plastic ring, job done.
The correct way of priming TD5's is; turn ign on, wait for pump to stop, then pump throttle pedal up and down five times, the pump will then run on and off for a few minutes.
Then start the engine.

Ee thank **** for that, missus took car to work today round trip of about 35 miles, brought the car home and its stopped making whirring noise all together now, must have just needed a run out to sort it out, i can breath a sigh of relieve now.

Might see if i can screw the £200 i would have paid for a pump to spend on something else....... worth a try i say....:cool:

Probably just tell me to **** off though....:rolleyes:

One thing i am getting a bit concerned about Ratty , my mot is due soon and having never taken a landrover to one i have one thing thats bugging me, when they do the hand brake test with the rolling road thing, how do they do it on a disco, am i correct in presuming its just a transmission brake? so doesn't act like normal handbrakes on cars? or am i talking complete bollocks.....:confused:

Am i even making sense??
 
They don't do the handbrake test on the rolling road normally... they'll have a local hill or a ramp or something that will satisfy the examiner that it's working well enough, test it on that and pass or fail it depending on how it does.
 
the way that we test disco's, drop the front wheels into the rollers / chock the rear wheels at front and back / test front brakes / drive vehicle forward /chock front wheels / test rear brakes / to test handbrake (as directed by our local VOSA examiner) start the rollers together pull up gently on the handbrake until the brake indicators show 200kg then let the handbrake off without locking any wheels, or we just take them out on the road with the old decelerometer and pull up on the handbrake gently to slow the vehicle down enough to register above 16%

sorry adz can't do that as a reading has to be taken and entered into the system to obtain a pass/fail
