    Leaving your car running on a frosty morning...

    Plus if the disco has a immobiliser it will need to sense the chip in the key first before allowing to start. so remote would be no good in that case

    Leaving your car running on a frosty morning...

    Yeah ive seen the remote alarms. but the ones ive seen on some of my customers bikes annoy the hell outta me with all the chirping they do. plus ive had a few customers with non starts because of these units failing after a month or two. thats not to say yours will the car ones might be...

    Leaving your car running on a frosty morning...

    Get a turbo timer. Just get one you can preset your own time on. i think mine in the celica goes up to 10-15 min in manual mode. you can start the car, set the timer and then remove your key from the ignition and lock her back up. they have safety features built in so if the handbrake is...

    Empty when full ...

    Yes the sender is part of the pump. and its not that hard really to get out if you wanted to inspect it. theres info on here about it (im pretty sure it was here) i searched and found what i needed when my pump gave up and i swapped it

    Empty when full ...

    I may be wrong but i believe the level sender in the tank has alot of contact patches that the sender float arm slides against and it shows the level on the gauge by the different resistance of each contact point. the top one in yours might be broken/dirty/faulty so not reading anything and the...

    Disco TD5 Starting Problem

    Im sorry if im going in the wrong direction here but dont the td5's only have 4 glow plugs. is it just the 5th cylinder is taking a few seconds to catch up due to it getting colder? This is only a guess though just thought i would give it a mention

    No silencers...

    i may be wrong as i havent checked in a mot manual but im sure i remember being told it has to have a least one silencer fitted to meet mot standards. dont hold me to it because it was just something i was told, but if its true and you are doing it bear in mind your going to need one for mot time

    Fueld pump issues

    i got a cheap one the other day and fitted it, spot on and quieter than the origional but i think thats because the oe one was on its way out. fuel gauge read totaly wrong, apparently i went from a 1/4 tank on oe pump to running on fumes with the non oe, i swapped the senders over and its fine...

    Thanks for all the help guys. in responce to a couple of questions. i havent measured fuel pressure as yet as ive not got a fuel pressure gauge, the disco has 130. 000 miles on it and the reason i swayed away from the injectors is i cant hear the fiel pump priming anymore. i checked my step...
