    td5 wheel haub and diesel pressure reg. leak

    thank you for the replies. i was under the impression, from the mechanic, that it was to be a hub replacement as you cant just do the o ring. will keep you updated. mat

    td5 wheel haub and diesel pressure reg. leak

    i hope that the seal can be replaced on its own and it does not turn into a whole hub assembly change. it has only done 54k miles so would expect the bearing to be ok as this is a recent find.

    td5 wheel haub and diesel pressure reg. leak

    had it serviced today £315 for a full "b" service, whch i was happy with. needless to say it was not done by a dealer. anyway during the service it became apparent that the rear nearside wheel hub assembly seal has sprung a leak, and so has the diesel pressure regulator. the service was done in...

    rusted tailpipe

    the tail pipe, in the eyes of the law is not part of the exhaust system, and therefore not an mot failure.

    td5 beeps twice

    mine only makes this noise if i allow the glow plugs to warm fully before starting. if i turn the key immediately without the glow plug light going out first, the noise does not happen.

    who owned it prior

    yes it does have a v5 as bought from a dealer. if it's previous keeper is, for argument sake royal, then what will be on the v5 ? g - if i get the details would you be able to "tap up" your dvla friends ?

    who owned it prior

    apparently its not the sport version. we are thinking along the same lines though, famous, royal, government, etc

    who owned it prior

    a friend of mine has just purchased a year old supercharged (not sport) range rover in black. it is armour plated and there has been a "delay" in releasing it to him due to previous owner details. he has asked but they would not release the previous owners details. does anyone know how to find...

    Fit towbar & electrics to TD5

    remove the upper right rear light cluster lens (4 screws) and drop the cable in that way. it will find its own way out. it will appear in the bottom right corner just behind the bumper. you should see the pre wired cable in there already with a plug on the end. you can tap off here. the...

    can't start, won't start

    have you got it started yet ? if so have a play about with the high and low ratios and the sport mode button. i am, to be honest in the dark, and these are what i would do if it was me.

    can't start, won't start

    i have searched high and low in the manual, then it hit me. like mine yours is an automatic. only symbol next to the mileage is that of the gear selected. this is particular to autos. tried to replicate it but without any luck. it would suggest that no gear is selected. remember it will...

    TD5 bell housing + timely reminder

    thanks for the prompt reply clutchdust. i have wiped all the bell housing clean with a view to keeping a close eye on it. is this common and what is your suggestion ?

    TD5 bell housing + timely reminder

    on the underside of the housing is what i would describe as a circular blanking plate. it is secured with three nuts. what is this for, does it have a seal and if so at what service is it replaced, if at all ? mine, as well as the sump plug, have started to seep oil. not a great deal but...

    Fit towbar & electrics to TD5

    I am assuming that the physical bolt-on of the bar is quite straight forward, & that I don't have to remove the rear bumper? no you dont need to remove anything, other than the upper right light cluster lens, to get to the electric plug loom. look under the rear of your disco at the centre...

    Fit towbar & electrics to TD5

    the towbar fit itself is very easy, see here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/towbar-self-fit-32550.html if you are not going to use the plug, located at the rear of the upper right light, then simply locate it and crimp off the wires. best really not to cut the wires from the block. there...
