    Disco Drivers are a nuisance.

    I've read this thread and resisted the urge to wade in but have got to the point where I can not leave it. I drive my Disco every day to work and everything in between, but I have also driven Freelanders as there are 3 in the family and I have to say they have one of the worst driving positions...

    Leaky Td5 EGR cooler (despite being blanked off...)

    Don't want to step on Shiftys toes but this is a no brainer. YES blank the EGR (really you should have done it before it was re mapped) if you want more out of it De cat the exhaust as well. And as has been discussed remove the cooler and reroute the cooling pipes.

    ABS Sensor Change

    I haven't had the bill yet so don't know how much it going to cost but told they weren't much. Does anyone have a drawing of the sensor for the rear hubs, at work so don't have Microcat and couldn't find anything on Rave other than a picture of the ABS block.

    Tuning Options

    For anyone get a remap I would recomend get the EGR bypass kit and fit a De-cat pipe before getting the remap, this way the map will take into account the extra clean air and and faster pick up speed of the Turbo.

    Shaun, Have you had any problems with running a TD5 on veg oil or had to do anything like heating the fuel before it get's to the engine. I heard that the TD5 engine wouldn't run on veg oil because of the viscousity being higher.

    D2 squealer, is this the problem?

    You shouldn't have any more problems once it's warped and been skimmed, the heat that your manifold has had already will be the most it's going to get (unless you fit propane) and so won't warp any more than it has already. From what I've read and heard once it's been done there's been no...

    D2 squealer, is this the problem?

    Matt, if like your inde say's and it is the exhaust manifold take it off and get it skimmed and put it back on. This problem is quite common on TD5's that have been chipped as the exhaust gases can be hotter especially when towing and warp the manifold, I heard some saying that the manifold...

    Has any one used these re map guys?

    Dyna Chip seems to good reviews on here but then again so does Gary at TD5 alive, he done mine and it's fantastic the difference, the choice is yours and loads of peeps will shout for their favourite.

    Freelander - front brakes binding

    I'll make that decison thank you very much vic. The heating Caliper has been fixed all I want to know is, has anybody else encountered the slid pins or is this Hippo different in which case it'll get fixed. If I had my way it would get burnt and they would be made to buy something better.
