New owner; old Disco

Hi Guys,

New to the forum but already reaping the rewards for my Disco. Sold my 56 Plate Ford Focus back in June and replaced it with a 1999 T Disco TD5.

Focus never gave me any trouble, performed well and was economical... but soooooo boring . Disco has just about every problem you guys have posted on the forum, rattles, grinds, rolls, leaks and is freezing at the moment....but I love it .

Live in Gloucestershire but work away in Crawley during the week at the moment. Hoping to get the Disco sorted for green laning once the weather warms up and the lanes aren't gonna get cut up.

If there is anyone in either of the two areas that knows a thing or two about Discos and how to work on them then I'd appreciate advice and help along the way.

Thanks for reading and any future help you can give.

Welcome from a Fellow TD5 disco owner mines a 2000 es Auto 7 seater

Keep an eye on the centerfugal filter as mine started to leak just a case had not been done up enough

First thing I did was get a egr removal kit on mine next week gonna change all the brake pads i think, mot guy said rear are getting near but i like it even so i'll do all for corners
and I had to change front prop as the uj went and i had no time to replace ujs as i was away the following day

Thanks Rob (Landy1UK)

Looking at the EGR blanking kit too. Did it make a noticeable difference? Also, what are the implications in terms of the emissions for an M.O.T.?
