    Changes to the MOT - bad news for de-cat pipes...

    I agree with what you've put above but yet again the govermant have managed to write a document that confuses the rest of the English speaking population. Surely if the tester knows the car doesn't need a full CAT emissions test then he doesn't need to check for the presence if a CAT and...

    Disco 2 Winter Tyres

    Bigjock- If you are running 255/55 R18 and want to change to 16's for the winter fit 255/65 R16, they are the same outside diameter as the 18's you are running so won't affect what your speedo reads. I ran 255/65R16 Grabber AT2's last winter and never had a problem, but you can't get them...

    Defender TD5 Coolant Bottle Noise

    You should have a 10P engine which means that it would have had the nilon dowles when it was built, weather or not it still has them you won't know until you remove the head. They could have been changed before which means the head could have been skimmed before and I don't know if you can have...

    Fuel pump died in disco td5

    Try Craddocks, Paddocks or just Google Landrover spares. To remove, lift the carpet in the boot and you should see a black plate with 6 screws. Remove the plate and you will see the top of the pump, disconect the 4 pipes and the multi plug. Undo the retaining collar and remove the pump...

    Disco 2td5 power loss

    If you can't hear it with the bonnet up and the engine running then I would say the noise you are hearing is the rotor filter slowing down when the engine is switched off. Take off the hose to the turbo and see if there is laterial movement on the turbo shaft that should answer your question.

    When I bought my Disco 4 years ago it had 46,000 miles on the clock it now has 128,000, and was fitted with General Grabber AT2's and everything has been fine until today. I have had to replace 2 tyres as they were worn down to near the legal limit having covered over 82,000 miles. I somehow...

    No Powerrrrrrr

    First put your location up someone might be close and willing to help. Is the exhaust manifold warped? possible that is gone and is letting gases out and you are losing pressure to the turbo. If it's warped and not crackes get it skimmed and put it back on with a new gasket.

After speaking with the friend that owns it she has said that when she had any weight in it or towing...

    A few questions on my newly bought td5

    For your heated front window once you have fitted the window, switch and relay you will also need to enable the BCU for it to work. I know this as I have just fitted one to mine.

    TDV6 engine system fault P062D

    From what you have discribed it sounds like the wiring loom to the injectors or even worse something in the ECU has gone and it is not providing power to the injectors. Can you use the wiring from the Jag engine. I asume that the injector loom can be removed like the TD5?
