    Mitchellin or Pirelli?

    Yep, def Michelin for long life, but if you venture into the goo, I'd go for the Pirelli's (slightly better off road than Michelin's)

    TD5 Misfire

    Trust - now there's an interesting word . . . . . not usally applicable to LR dealers (I know, I know, some are VERY reputable) But based on my experience of 3 local to where I leave, there deserve the title Main STEALERS !!!

    Remapping can ONLY cause more wear, based on more stress and strain within the engine (the re-mapping companies won't tell you that though) Put simply how many miles will an F1 car do . . answer about 500 before a complete engine rebuild)

    Which engine

    Experience of 100,000 miles in a Disco2 TD5

    Years ago, diesels would easily run on and on, clocking 500k plus, in fact the record for a diesel car (a Mercedes) is 4.6 MILLION kms (that's a staggering 2.8 million miles, not the same engine, but the owner (a greek taxi driver has two which he alternates every 500k) so it's still pretty...

    Mine does that also, has done for last 20k or so, no better, no worse :rolleyes: Seems to be a common TD5 Disco problem. It has all the symptoms of oil contamination, which is slightly worrying, although I did read a thread that talked about possible clutch fluid leaking onto the plate . ...
