Here is me thinking that a viscus fan only ever run when the engine was at tick over and stopped, when the revs went up the fan slowed down,So what should be happening ,Lets say that you get into the disco on a cold morning start up the fan will Not turn at tick over due to every thing being...

Here is something interesting,As i was under the bonnet looking at modding the EGR..I thought while the plastic is off the engine and rad top i would start up and just have a look as you do,1999 TD5,I noticed that on tick over the cooling fan was not turning i taped it with a screwdriver it went...

OK here i go again.....This afternoon i took the plastic of engine and rad and had a good look ,I now note that the egr valve is not bolted in its fitted to that big chunk of alloy manifold i also see that there is 4 bolts that holds it on then end, but where the gold pipe comes up underneath...

Tom Tom Sat nav as I'm crap at directions !!!!!!I Even get lost with that!!!!!

OK guys bear with me on this one........What your actually saying is leave the gold metal egr pipe in place where it is....... Then remove the big round egr valve,,, Then blank off the hole between the egr valve and its mount, with a 2 pence coin.. then put the valve back on and that should...

My classic range rover that i had (may not have anything to do with yours but just a thought) did the same after i towed a caravan to Wales crunching and felt like knocking got home and i took advise and changed the viscous coupling in the box underneath ..Problem cured..

OK i looked at the other end of the egr pipe that runs across the front of the engine to the big pipe ( 1999 TD5 Disco)and that looks quite difficult to see where the hard gold colored pipe goes in to the big fat rubber pipe.Oh well i will keep on putting wd40 round the allen bolts on the...

Makes ya mad how for so many years Land Rover could fit and sell such a crappy nath **** steering box ,If i had produced a vehicle and fitted a part that's been going wrong for so many years i would i completely redesigned it ........Only here in Britain........

I will give the 2 pence coin ago first.As you say it probably don't matter what end of the pipe you blank of so long as it stops the gases i will have a look under the bonnet in next day or to to see if i have to remove anything else first to gain access to the other end of the egr pipe.

I would like to remove my EGR but I'm worried that i will bust the 2 bolts and then have problems with the new replacement bolts,, Ive been planning on doing it for the last 3 years ,,but them bolts look very rusty and i just know with my luck they will bust.I take it that you have to use a...

And to think that my 2.5 1999 transit van don't have any glow plugs and yet jump in turn key and bang it starts,,But the TD5 has glow plugs i think later to day while its still freezing out of curiosity i will jump into the disco and turn the key straight away like i do in the transit van and...

I have a 1999 td5,NON Aircon,After i pull up at home switch off i get a buzzing /whirling type noise coming from the driver side proberly from just under the bonnet some where it only lasts about 30 seconds and ive often wondered what that was..

Just to add my bit...I have a 2.5 Ford Transit and it takes about 4 to 5 miles before its temp gauge goes half way......I also have a TD5 Discovery 2.5 and that also takes about 4 to 5 miles for the gauge to sit just under half way..My dashboard red and blue dials always set to midway between...

Could it be your diesel is freezing..?? On Saturday i changed the fuel filter on my transit van and put the old filter on top of the outside garden table and on Sunday morning i happend to pick up the filter just to look at it and it was frozen and that's down here in the midlands..Took me back...

Don't forget that analogue reception is about 100 megs Where dab is about 220 megs so for best results get the correct aerial We all know a 6 inch nail will receive some thing but there is a great difference when you have the correct length of aerial.

My 1999 disco 2 non air suspension has also just intermittently stopped opening on the rear door handle after trying to unlock it on the remote and it really ****es me off .If i keep on locking and unlocking on the dash board switch it will then let me open the rear door.

I have a 1999 TD5 Auto and i thought i did well at about 35 to a gallon but last weekend i had to go down to south coast from here north of Stratford on Avon..Then i worked it out no it don't do 35+ mpg it does 32mpg with cruse set at 65mph..I have had it about 3 years but in that time Ive never...

I'm curios how do you get on at MOT time without the cat on will it still pass the emission test as i say only curios as i was thinking of fitting one.

There are places,I only had 1 key with my transit,Then a market trader told me of a place in Birmingham,Went there he cut me 2 more keys plugged a gadget in under dash removed all my key codes then inserted the 2 new keys and my original one downloaded new codes, took him about 2 hours total...
