    Discovery TD5 gearbox issues

    I would try changeing the oil first with some oil flush in it and then changing it again after a couple of hundred miles and see what it's like after that, could be cheaper than pulling the gearbox out for someone to tell you it's ok.

    Phone Alive Tuning, Gary will discuss the best option for you. There's nothing more I can suggest other than driving to him.

    Allmakes TD5 fuel pump and inspection hatch location

    When my pump went the only one I could get my hands on at short notice was a Allmakes pump for a 110 (the disco was sat in a layby and needed the next day for work) took the old one out and compaired the 2 pumps and couldn't see any differences so popped it in. I think someone said the sender...

    If you don't want to travel and can cope without the car for a couple of days Gary at Alive Tuning can remap the ECU if you send it to him, check on the website but I'm sure it only take a couple of days. He done mine when I was done near him on holiday, and have since fitted his straight...

    allmakes parts

    I fitted a Allmake pattern rear brake caliper to my Disco 2 last year and had no problems, but then I wasn't going to complain at £22 it's better than buying a genuine Landrover one.

    Clutch Release Bearing

    Happens as soon as I put pressure on the pedal, I know the gearbox is ok just needs a oil change. Whats more annoying is the wife panicking that something is wrong with the car.

    Clutch Release Bearing

    How long have I got left? The release bearing on my TD5 has started to whine when it is cold, but once when in gear it stops. Does anybody have any idea how long I have left before I need to crawl under the car to change the bearing. I'm not looking forward to changing it and don't want to do...

    TD5 Choice

    Some have the Diff Lock fitted in the transfer box but the linkage isn't fitted, why this is only Landrover can answer. Disco 2's have traction control which works really well and will get you out of most things hense most don't have diff lock.

    TD5 Choice

    It will have 2 lever's anyway normal gear selector and one for Hi/Low. The easiest way to find out if it has Diff Lock is to crawl under and feel for a small square lump in top of the front of the transfer box.

    Buying a Freelander 2

    It's not for me. And a search turned up nothing. The mother in law has decided that she wants to replace her ever ageing Freelander 1 1.8 (can't wait to see the back of it). She has around £13k to spend on a new car and there are plenty of Freelander 2's around the only problem I have is...

    Is the front grill still there or has it been removed to fit a winch in? If it's not gone screw a standard number plate to it, job done.
