I changed all the oils yesterday (diffs, gearbox, and transfer box) - what a mess! The car has a full service history but I dont think the transmission fluids have been changed at all... anyway... it runs a lot quieter but the harshness is still evident at about 2500 rpm to 3000 rpm. I have...

I have the same problem... TD5 2004. Its a rough as a bears bum above 2500 rpm... other than that it runs and pulls fine. In fact the engine is brand new from Landrover - due to a blown head gasket. I wonder if water/steam through the exhaust will have messed up the cat? If you find a...

Hi all, my Disco 2, 2004 TD5 runs really well except for the roughness / harsh / noisy engine at about 2500 rpm and above. In top gear below 50 mph all is quiet and smooth but as speed is increased the engine gets quite harsh / thrashy and at 70 mph sounds like something is slightly out of...

Hi all... I need to recode some new injectors and turn off the auto locking on a Disco 2 (2004). If you have a nanocom and are prepared to do the job I can drive to you and happily pay for the service! The local garage has problems with theire setup so I am a bit stuck .. Thanks John

All's well that ends well!!! New (5 recon) injectors fitted and she runs as sweet as a nut. The difference is truly amazing..... it is like a different engine .... absolutely silent and it has not even been coded yet! needless to say I am delighted. Even from cold it is as quiet as a...

Update... Well I am waiting for the new injectors to arrive and I have just removed the originals from the engine... Couple of things for info..... Once the injector operating cam has been removed the injectors come out very easily - I had to rotate the engine a bit to get clearance on a...

Yes - I have been monitoring that closely - I changed the oil and made sure I filled it accurately and so far it has stayed the same. I guess the mechanic that fitted the engine overfilled it a bit originally! I am at a loss as to the next step now... I get the feeling I will have to bite the...

Hi Dave, many thanks - I shall get the bits ordered! ps I have re-set the cam to injector clearances and it has made a big difference - much less knocking / pinking. I still have a feeling that one or two of the injectors are over fueling but its not too bad for now. I shall maybe buy one and...

Many thanks... any idea what would happen if they were backed off 1.5 turns? I am guessing it would cause a bit of clatter and maybe inaccurate fueling? Is it likely to have caused any damage to the engine? I will have a go at re-setting them tomorrow when the 36 mm spanner arrives to remove...

Hi all, I have recently had a new engine fitted but the old injectors were put back. I suspect that they may not have been fitted properly in terms of the setting of the adjuster screw. Apparently each cylinder is adjusted with he cam at the top and the adjuster screw is backed off half a...

Hi!

Thanks... can you explain what the numbers mean? I have had a look at replacement injectors - Mansfield 4x4 want £400 and Famous Four seem to have the same thing for £265 - seems to be a big difference in price - would it be safe to assume that the cheaper ones are recons? God knows how much...

Hi all, Discovery ll, 2004 TD5 (116,000 miles) - I am trying to sort out a "clattery" engine and I have made some progress but need some advice regarding replacement of the injectors. The engine is new (only 600 miles so far) but it has a bad diesel clatter which has been greatly improved by...

Mr Bill, Thanks for your post.. as you may have gathered I have only just got myself a Disco.. (last week) same model as yours I think. I was wondering about doing the EGR blanking thing and fitting the upgraded hoses -- oh and the ecu remap... (phew - must check bank account!) Have you...

Yes - I have been doing some digging and it seems that the car has had two new engines - the first was 3 months ago!! The original ecu is in still use as are 4 of the original injectors. (116,000 miles) The new injector has not been "introduced" to the ecu and is over fueling hence the...

Many thanks..... I shall wait for the new model to be released - I guess any news will be posted on here... again many thanks for all the help.... I am really starting to see the attraction of these cars... they seem to be a bit "agricultural" (in a nice way!) but very rewarding to drive...

Looks like you are right - I took it to a local Landrover specialist and he thinks the problem is that the ecu still thinks it has the old injectors in and is metering the fuel accordingly. Apparently the injectors have a number on them which has to be entered into the computer so it knows they...

does anyone know of a good indy in the Warrington / St Helens area?

Hi, yes - I have been back to the garage that fitted the engine this morning but he cant look at it until next week. He said that he will adjust the injectors and check all nuts and bolts for tightness...... but I am pretty sure he does not have the diagnostic software for the car.... I am...

I am the not so proud owner of a 2004 Discovery TD5 with a brand new engine (500 miles so far!). It is VERY noisy when cold - the usual diesel clatter just very loud. The car is slow to warm and there is a distinct diesel clatter (seems to be from one cylinder mainly although hard to tell)...
