I get 500 to a tank now and it's not chipped. :)

In respect to getting it chipped you mean? I take it it's expensive?

It's a 2000 model so soldered then.

Why do you have to lift it off the body to change the timing belt? I have a discovery 2 and have thought about getting a 3 but like everyone else I have my doubts, had my 2 for 2-1/2 year and in that time did a hub when got it and did a full clutch and flywheel last week also while I was on...

Iam contemplating getting my td5 chipped. Will I notice a difference in performance and mpg etc? I know the sites that advertise these state you do but they are bound to say that so you buy them in the first place. Also are the chips in the td5 soldered in or are they easily removable?

Used to own a izuzu trooper until someone crashed into me 2-1/2 years ago and the insurance had to get me a brand new discovery 3 to give me as I'd stated that I needed something equivalent for towing a large trailer (they offered me a vitara first) when it went back after 7 weeks of having it I...

Hi guys iam a member of another forum as well as this one. It's passionford as iam a cosworth man too lol, and recently theres been a thread started about adding 2 stroke mineral oil to a tank of diesel about 250 ml to 70 litres or something like that and everyone's ranting about it saying how...

I have a 04 v8 sitting in my yard with brand new front and rear anti roll bars and drop links on if your interested in them as it's a breaker with no engine. You'd need to change the route of the belt under the bonnet to bypass the ace pump probably needing a pulley/idler.

Just an update guys. Changed the slave cylinder today, bled it through and the clutch is now perfect. Cheers for the advice

It's a fair explanation like. I'll get one priced and ordered up. It's been an expensive fix this although can't complain think I've only ever changed a front bearing/hub on it or and some pads in nearly 3 years lol

Sounds good to me. just couldn't understand how the air could have got in. The last one i did was perfect straight away so was going through all the motions of "have i missed something here" lol. Got another 2 or 3 guys wanting there's done soon so was kind of wanting to know what the he'll was...

Hi guys, just changed the clutch, flywheel, thrust bearing, spigot bearing and fork referb kit on my td5 today. Got it all to bits and back together no problem Well apart from needing a new front pipe and also changed a leaky fuel pressure regulator whilst the box was out. When I jumped in...

Just an update.replaced coil, dizzy cap, plugs, rotor arm, points and leads today and what a difference it made by the way, the difference was like night and day it was a flying machine and never missed a beat on a run out I even did the school run in it lol my little lad was well impressed when...

Ordered today coil, plugs, leads, dizzy cap and rotorarm will update weather it's sorted the issue.

Ok I'll do that tomorrow and see how it gets on. Thanks I'll keep you posted

Do you think i should even replace the coil too? Is there anything else thst i should be looking at?

I was just trying to mimic the points opening and closing with the screwdriver to see if they sparked with the ignition on but got spark between the screwdriver and the actual dizzy. i had thought of the coil breaking down possiblly when hot but wasnt to sure of the dodgey sparking with the...

Thanks for your info guys found out today it is a 101. as for the dizzy the movement its got is when twisting clockwise/anticlockwise dont know if this is meant to do this though and be in the same position when running. it started up sweet as a nut this morning but i still pulled the cap off...

Hi firstly sorry for the title but it's the only way to describe this landrover. Rite not knowing the name I'll describe it. It's rectangular in shape and sits of the ground about 3 ft on massive wheels which on the front ones have what I can only describe as gripper rings attached for use as a...

There's a plate that comes off under the boot carpet to access the top of the fuel tank and the pump. Depending what facilities you have might be easier than dropping the fuel tank.
