    Fueld pump issues

    I fitted a Allmakes fuel pump 2 years ago and it's been fine, it's a little noiser than the one it replaced but I'm not too bothered as this one works and the last one didn't.

    Newbie needs your opinions on a fault please

    bennys not right on that, I had the same problem, would start and idle fine but put it under load and it would miss fire. If the injector loom had oil in it the missfire would be there all the time even at idle. I tried to drive mine home but at less then 40mph had to pull over to let the queue...

    TD5 Down Change Problem

    How long have you had the car and what do you know of it's history? As said check the fluid and the master and slave for leaks, they're not really expensive and when I had problems I changed both just to make things easier. A change of Gearbox Oil would also help to make the gearbox changes...

    Saggy springs

    While changing the front lower ball joint I noticed the the springs are looking a worn and the car doesn't sit as high as other disco's. Once i had everything build back up I measured the height from the wheel arch to the floor and got 23" at the front and about 23.5" at the back. I have read...

    If you are in South Yorkshire go to Alive tuning or wait till the weekend and see them at the Driffield show and get it done there.

    Trolly Jack Broken

    Ask around some of the local garages, they must get their jacks tested as they are classed as lifting equipment and need tested every 6 months under LOHER. Who ever tests them should be able to fix them.

    Autologic performance tune Disco 2

    Jim I don't want to rain on your parade but your not going to get anything close to 240bhp by changing your exhaust, air filter and getting a remap. I got my D2 remapped at Alive tuning and spoke to Gary, he was telling me about what else he was planning on a defender he had as a show piece...

    How reliable is your td5

    I suppose I'm lucky with mine but then it is one of the latest ones on a 04 plate. I got my Disco in Oct 2007 with 46,000 miles on the clock and in the last 4 and a half years I have covered 90,000 miles and only once has it not got me home. I have changed in that time the following: Fuel...

    Enigine missing when over 3,500 revs!

    I can see where you are coming from but in my experiance when the MAF went on my Disco it had a flat spot and slight miss fire. Cleaned the MAF with contact cleaner from work and made no difference. Once I disconnected the MAF it ran fine but used more fuel as the default MAF settings don't work...

    Enigine missing when over 3,500 revs!

    It's a TD5 so all the injector leak offs are channeled through the head so you can't see them.

    Enigine missing when over 3,500 revs!

    Disconnect the plug to the maf and see how the car drives after that to check if the maf is faulty. If it drives ok then the maf is goosed, if you still have the problem then it's else where.

    Enigine missing when over 3,500 revs!

    My guess would be possible fuel pump failing, mine done this to start with then just died.

    On another note.....

    Left school and joined the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineering Mechanic (basically everything from Gas Turbines to the **** House), left that and became a Wind Turbine Service Technician now a Service Coordinator for the same company, just starting to dislike sitting behind a desk all the time.

    Td5 non starter

    A Gamekeeper near me had a 90 with the same problems, tried everything that could be thought of, in the end an auto spark said that there was a break in a wire somewhere in the wiring loom but no way of finding out where. He got a second hand engine loom off ebay and fitted it, starts first time...
