    Tdci - yes or no?

    It's a 90 county van back in black, I wasnt even considering a tdci untill I drove past this earlier, I'll call in for a better look tomorrow, is there any more info about this sump recall so I know what to check for? Thanks!

    Tdci - yes or no?

    Had my fair share of td5's now and fancy a change of vehicle, I considered a newer td5 but for just a little more I can get a nice tdci, one has come up locally in a garage, 59 Reg 12,500 miles and it's absolutely mint not a Mark inside or out for 17k, checked the budget and with a bit of saving...

    What's it worth?

    Ok thanks, do you reckon it's possible to fit the boot seats? Because it's a commercial it has storage boxes where the seats go, if I could get a cheap set of rear seats it would be good for emergency lifts etc. And would fold out the way when not needed. Not sure on legality though lol

    What's it worth?

    Been informed by a mate that his boss is thinking of getting rid of a commercial facelift disco 2 td5. All I know is it's a 53 plate with 107k miles and it's Epsom green. I intend swapping my 110 td5 van for it because it'll be better for back and forth to work and I miss my old disco (still...

    Mysterious ping/bang, bolt flying off underneath?

    Hi all, strange topic I know but I have just bought a 110 td5. I fitted my wheel spacers this evening then went out, and as I was driving there was a metallic 'ping' sound, followed by something hitting the underneath, then I heard something metal bouncing down the road (window open) past me. I...

    ok thanks, ill get some degreaser and leave that soak in first :)

    Pressure wash engine ok?

    I need to pressure wash my td5 engine to investigate an oil leak, is there anything that I should avoid apart from the obvious? I'll happily wash my 200 engine, I'm just a bit dubious of the electrickery in this engine lol!

    Disco ecu in 110?

    Will the chipped ecu out of my old 1999 disco fit a 2000 110 that I just bought? I doubt it but it's worth a shot :) saves me getting the new one remapped!

    Should I buy a freelander??

    I have to agree with rich again, I find autos too boring to drive, but i know i will be worried about the clutch, just have to be careful though!! having trouble finding one for the right money at the minute, theyre surprisingly expensive!
  16. jimbo-td5

    Should I buy a freelander??

    thanks rich, sounds like its the car for me! Ive got a 90 for any off roading really, its just for a bit of playing and field work, which it sounds like its perfect for me! now to find a nice lowish mileage clean one!

    Should I buy a freelander??

    Hello all, I sold my TD5 disco a week ago and im already regretting it. the reason I sold it was fuel economy back and forth to work and she was getting old (niggly things starting to go wrong). Ive gone back to a car at the moment but im missing a 4x4! My uses are: - Light greenlaning - Lots...
