Hi Phil Do you have a Disco 2? I have a TD5 with spongy brakes on first push of the pedal. According to this thread it is normal... Spongy D2 Brakes - Australian Land Rover Owners Cheers Andy

Nobody can see me push my 20 foot boat down my narrow lane, round my garage and into my garden in one go. Before I got the front mount tow bar, this was very difficult, as with reversing, the front of the car has to swing out much more to get a turning effect at the hitch. Going straight is...

Watling Engineering do a full range. I got one for my TD5 for pushing my boat down the lane to my house and launching. It's brilliant. Front towbars and front push tow bars by Watling Engineers - Boat launching, caravan mover, 4x4 winch mount Watling were a pleasure to deal with and...

From what I have read, when you change the loom you have to still keep cleaning out the red plug on the ECU a few times, as there will be residual oil on the section of loom nearest the ECU. That will still find it's way onto the plug. You could check yourself. It's a 5 minute job to check...

Mine is doing this on the outside. I put some waxoyl on the rust and it seems to have stopped it. It looks untidy though. This top door frame is available as a separate part, as it bolts off from the door. I saw a price on the web but it was very expensive. Maybe £150 odd. It may have been...

This should do the trick... TD5 Disco coil conversion - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum cheers Andy

This could be your contacts worn in the starter solenoid. It's a common issue. I'm just after putting new contacts (and plunger for good measure) in mine as I was getting the problem that you described. One thing that helped was to get under the car and pull the little spade connector off the...

The bias plate for the gear stick position springs could have broken. This is a common fault with the bias plate and leaves a bit of metal floating around. This could maybe be blocking the gear selection. If it is this, it's an easy fix. Cheers Andy

White spirit and Gunk have cropped up in the past.

I think earlier TD5's didn't have anything on the downpipe. You may just need the part from the earlier car. Maybe someone else could confirm this?

Another common issue is the MAP sensor on the inlet manifiold. It can get gunged up with oil. It takes 15 mins or so to clean it. A spray of contact cleaner and a wipe is all it takes. I did mine and it transformed the car. I also took off the arm for the wastegate and sprayed some penetrating...

Look at the kick up now and it hasn't even started. Wait to people get their tax renewal and it says double the usual amount. There'll be pandamonium! I also think that it will be binned as it's a total blunder. My mate thinks that the Tories will get in next and we'll be ok on the tax as...

In 2010 it will be 455, but it's really 500 as that's what is costs with 2 instalments of 250. Yes, it's even dearer if you can't pay the full amount up front. Most people will fall into this category. A double whammy really! I think the 950 is a one off tax on top of the purchase price...

I like the sound of parrafin oil. A lot less grim sounding than waste engine oil mixed with white spirit. Is parrafin oil sprayable using an air compressor. Would thinning it with white spirit work. Also, is it not a bit pricey out of the chemist for the quantity needed for under a Disco...

From 2010 it will be 455 quid not 400 according to Parkers... Road tax - Parker's And to make it worse if you can't afford the full wack, the thieving scum will take 250 quid off you for 6 months!

Hi Dave Would this do? Land rover Discovery 300 TDi mid pipe exhaust on eBay, also, Land Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 26-May-08 06:58:57 BST) This bloke seems to sell pretty much everything exhaust wise. Cheers Andy

Hi Martin I was just wondering about your 80 litre tank fill. Is the TD5 not 95 litres, of which 9 litres is the amber light reserve? Glad your getting decent economy. I'm happy enough with mine as well. Cheers Andy

I used the NO.1 Rustbeater on my Scenic wheel arches. The rust is now poking through it again. Maybe 2 coats would have been better but I wasn't impressed. It's also a rubbish colour. It's pinky peach when it dries. I'm not sure I'd like my chassis that colour. Although you would see the rust if...

That sounds alot like my 2000 TD5 chassis. I don't have any holes, just surface rust pretty much everywhere, also flaking a bit in places. The factory rust proofing ****e is comming off everywhere that doesn't have oil leaking on to it. I just passed the MOT last week and am starting my waxoyl...

I asked about using wd-40 and was recommended Maplins Contact cleaner. The aerosol I got has an extension pipe makes it handy to use. I didn't get any actual recommendation to clean the MAF sensor. I just sprayed it cause I had the cleaner out and the mutiplug was handy to undo. I doesn't...
