Well I suppose I will be due an extra £200 next year but if you think about it that is only 2 tanks of juice ( Just my way of coping), all the enviro-mentallists are just loving this but in reality people who look after / maintain their landies are re - cycling more than any mondeo man who...

Hi and welcome:) , Certainly sounds like a filter. When was it last serviced? If you change it yourself remember to follow the priming procedure. Just try a search for this I know it is on here as I used it myself. Good Luck:D Ciaran

Problem Solved , It was left in Drive mode . She stuck it in Park and :D .

Hi Dave , Its the sensor on the Air intake manifold on a Td5. It is just 2 x 8 mm bolts. I took mine off and cleaned it up and it was pretty mingin when removed. Engine now running better than ever. 5 min job. Cheers Ciaran

Hi, My wife has been out in the TD5 yesterday and when she got home and went to turn engine off her key broke off from the fob without having fully switched off the ignition, but she managed to turn the key and get it removed. She put the key back together and tried to start car, ignition lights...

Yes I agree with Scotty I didnt really notice until today as I usually just stick it in D and point , but there is much more engine braking in 123, To return to an earlier point you mentioned--- get rid of the EGR and clean up the airflow sensor ( 2 x 8mm bolts to remove and spray electrical...

Hi Tim, welcome to the best Landrover site ,I ve had mine for 9 mths and learnt more on here than from a workshop manual . By heavy load what do you mean internal or a trailer? My own 2001 TD5 Auto with SLS is dependent on how much weight is on the back axle as to how much the back end comes...

You can never go wrong with an oil change if you are unsure when it was last done- this is a piece of cake just remember to follow filling procedure when done and I found that it only takes 4.5 -5 litres to refill and not 9.7 as stated in the workshop manual , this figure is if you refill the...

My 2001 Auto TD5 gives little or no engine braking until engine is up to running temp When did you last change gearbox oil? Always makes a differenmce also the often forgotten filter and just to get a feel for the condition as burnt ATF II is not pleasant. Does it change up OK and if so when...

Thanks guys, Hoping it was only a glitch, as I have had no problem since I have had it stopping and starting several times on journey and I changed the Auto box oil around a month ago, but if it persists I will have to go down the Testbook route as Eightinavee has rightly pointed out. Ciaran

Just coming of the ferry today started engine ( TD5 2001 Auto ) and the manual & sports mode lights were flashing and the lights on the gearstick were flashing. Quickly shut off engine and checked under for a big puddle , but nothing. Restarted engine and decided to disembark ferry much to...

Make sure the are not quoting just for the parts and adding labour on later. I did mine a month or so ago and the part was 79 squid, but it is easy enough to do yourself although tiny hands are beneficial. about 45 mins to complete, have heard of other people removing a cooling hose out of way...

Thanks Andy, Seems I shouldnt worry about it:D although they make recommendations of changing to synthetic gearbox oil, but for all that it takes to change say every 10,000 is it worth the extra:confused:? Cheers Ciaran

Hi, Saw a thread a few days ago which I cant seem to find again stating that autos are not good for towing heavy loads as they overheat :confused: the gearbox ( possibly it was South Africa / Australia ). Has anyone else had any problems with this issue? I bought my Td5 auto 6 mths ago exactly...

;) Cheers, Just what I needed to hear that this problem can be kept under control and I dont need a load of spares as I have a trip to Yarksheer in 10 days and didnt fancy 2 kids and boss telling me I should have taken the wolvo as we sit on the dockside in Cairnryan.

Thanks for your help, Will get some Elec cleaner tomorrow and give it a thrash. Does anyone know if there are any differences in Injector harness for model years and if they are suitable for my 2001 Auto Td5 as I have seen a few on Ebay but not a lot of detail. Cheers Ciaran666

Hi, New to the site, so go easy on me. I have viewed for several months now ( and have found it extremely informative ) since I took the plunge and bought a DiscoTD5 ( Had Defender 300 Tdi for 5 yrs). Firstly details - it is a 2001 GS Td5 Auto 7 seater with A/C, SLS and NO ACE and 70 000...
