a pic of them fitted to my 300 tdi

Hi, I used this guide to install the lights in my 300tdi last year and it all went well. Just about to use it again to fit them to my early Disco 2 td5. Fantasic instructions. Thanks again, James:D

OK I thought I would draw this post to a conclusion as I have sorted the problem. I finally slackened the three bolts on the front of the edc fuel pump and rotated the pump slightly- put everything back and it started without the heater plug un the first turn of the key. Years of nightmare...

Hi, i know this post has been dead for some time but my disco 2 has the same problem and the smoke stinks of oil-only smokes if you have left it ticking over for a bit and then rev it.

WOW that’s crazy. When I was 21 I took out motor traders and it wasn’t much more than that and I could add an unlimited number of cars and it didn’t matter what the engine size was. I’m 27 now and it now cost just over £500 with tradex. I can jump in any car now and drive...

Just bought a td5 disco with 204k on it but it smokes if you let it tick over then rev it and it stinks of oil(no idea what it is-tell me if you know) wish I still had my 300 disco

I bought a set of Bergen bolt grips to remove it but they rounded it off even more. Also tried welding a nut to it with a mig but the weld would not penetrate the bolt and the nut just comes off

Haven’t checked the pump timing yet but did remove the plate to get to the 3 bolts on the pump with the intention of advancing or retarding the pump but one of the three bolts that secures the pump was already rounded off and I can’t remove it. Any ideas on how to get it out?

i have uploaded a couple of pics of the pain in the ass disco and a couple of the E Reg defender i have just built (MOT next Monday-fingers crossed).

I also have another problem with the disco and that’s a battery drain. If you leave it over night without disconnecting the battery you will only get one turn out of the engine. Tested the alternator and that’s giving 14.5 volts and in the morning the battery has only 10v and will...

Hi, you can only tweak it by advancing or retarding the pump

no

relaced all the leak off pipes with new ones and have put a clear section of pipe on the inlet pipe just before the pump and no air going in that way. I have also checked the fuel pick up under the boot floor and the sedementer and that was all ok too.

Hi, i have had this problem with my range rover. Took rad off and flushed it, put it back but no better. I had people telling me the head was gone as water was boiling out the header tank. I fitted a new radiator and it was fine. Also you could try putting your thermostat in a cup of boiling...

Hi, I thought it could be the injectors too, so I replaced all of them with new bosch ones but it didnt help. Thanks for your reply, James

Hi Ratty, once it’s been started, it starts first turn all day but if it’s been left overnight it will need more turns and then when it starts to fire it splutters and coughs sounding like its only firing a couple of cilinders then runs smooth (that’s if the battery...
