    Td5 Exhaust De-cat

    Is this vehicle with no cats in a auto or manual? I find in my auto 03 model cats scream all the time wether up or down hill! They scratch the leather as well. Seriously though does this make a bigger difference on an auto? Ta

    Huge Fuel leak

    Hi, I had a leaking fuel pressure regulator replaced on my 03 td5 and today it has blown completely. If I turn the ignition on it actually pour down on to the floor. What could have gone wrong? It is a brand new part, could they have cracked it by overtightening? Will it have done other...

    TD5 Surging

    I agree, a bit more testing has made me feel it is not a fueling prob but maybe a gearbox issue as it feels if it can not make up its mind to change fully or not. Like you if I go to three quaters throttle it is fine. Thanks

    TD5 Surging

    Hi, I have a 03 TD5 Auto es. When driving the vehicle all is normal. If you floor it it will start to surge as if it is momrntarily starved of fuel and then not. It only happens when demand for fuel is high but it is anoying when overtaking. Do the later models suffer from oil in the...

    Fuel pump td5 Disco

    Hi, I have recently dicovered my Fuel Pressure Regulator was leaking. It has been replaced and now the fuel pump has died. Is this normal? Did it create the FPR leak by making to much pressure at the pump? How soon will this happen again? The vehicle is an 03 auto with 50 k on it. Thanks

    Too scared or V8

    Hi, I run a 300 tdi Disco. I use it for regular 3t towing and weekend fun plus as a family car. I am thinking of changing it for an LPG V8 disco 2 with all the toys. Am I mad or will it be a good move, I know there is no substitute for cubes but am I looking at a servicing cost/fuel cost...

    Shudder and squeak

    I would bet on you had dry uj's, going in the water has amde em rust and they/it are about to die! Cheap fix if you nip it in the bud or expensive if you carry on. My advice is have them checked by yourself or another and if odd movement detected replace the uj. Hope this helps

    300 Series Increased Power / Fueling

    I have a 94 tdi 300 and have tweaked the pump and binned the cat, it has made a great difference. Good power to be had from 1000 rpm and a very relxed drive the rest of the time ( 4th gear with no labouring) I still have not done the intercooler as I have aircon. Tweak your pump and smile!

    Free Workshop Manual

    Hi All, Does anybody know of the same type of download for the 89-94 Discovery? They seem to change after 94 into a more complex beast as my 94Mreg does not do self test for the electrics at all. Is this right? Thanks

    No Brakes!

    It has since been recommended that i leave it undone and since doing so have had not one problem. Chap did say that the system was an afterthought by L/R? Maybe the reason it is pants. Ta

    MFU Does it work?

    Hi All, I have some strange goings on, if I try to test my MFU by holding down the demister button and turning on ignition nothing happens apart from a relay in passenger footwell clicking. My radio does not work or my cig lighter. Sometimes interior lights and lights on buzzer are fine...

    What MPG can you realistically get from a Landy/Disco?

    I have a 300tdi 94 m, generaly i get about 25/30 mpg with egr blanked, de cat pipe and tweaked pump. It goes better than standard if you use the beans but drinks like a bugger. drive steady and its better than when i got it at 150 000 miles

    No Brakes!

    HMMM, Do you know if air in the brake system would cause our dilemma? I am going to try a bleed and see what happens. Do you have any dash lights on or other electrical gremlins? as I do. Just found that the fuel pump electricle connector has been disconnected! do you know what difference this...
