    Gearing issues

    Bought a 2003 TD5 Disco2 and have always thought that the engine is running a high revs at speed. Ifindin 5th gear the revs are a little high but I don't know what's normal as my other Disco is an Auto and has been fitted with a bigger TC that locks at about 2000 rpm so I get good mpg and it...

    2003 TD5 Which ECU remap/Chip/Power Box

    Agree 100% with "thebiglad" I have a 2001 TD5 and have done all you suggested and then got TD5alive (now called Alive) to remap her. After the remap it's a different machine. I myself would never go for a clip on box but would always have a remap. I found Gary at TD5 Alive very helpful and he...

    Disco td5 loss of power

    When my intercooler hose went, it looked fine but it came apart inside, the only way you can be sure it's not the hose is to remove it and look inside. it should only take about 10mins to check.

    Chipping a Td4

    Got TD5Alive to remap my 2004 Freelander, it gave it a bit more power but not as much as the remap on the Disco's. Still think a remap is worth the money if it's done right, but a chip that only fools the ECU as far as I'm concerned is a total waste of time. When I bought my second Disco I...

    help!!!!

    My understanding is that Easy Start will burn off carbon from in the head and on the tops of the piston, thus reducing compression. That's why the more you use it the more it needs the next time.

    NATO hitch hight question

    Thanks for the reply. The trailer is not a 3/4ton Sankey it's a Rapier Missile support trailer that has adjustable ride hight. I don't mind if I can't open the back door and not to worried about the weight the hitch can carry as the trailer can only carry 1 ton and I'm sure I can engineer...

    Never use Easy Start, I think it's very bad for the engine. My Disco 2 has given a problem once or twice when it turns over not will to start. I have put it down to the imobiliser, I get out lock it and un lock it with the key fob and it starts. It's only done it 4 or 5 times in the past 2...

    Alive Tuning Remap

    Gary has done both of my Disco's, my 2001 Auto I drove over from Ireland and my 2005 Disco was done over email with the Nanocom. Gary is a gent, sells you what you are looking for, unlike others. I have always found TD5alive very professional and will use them again. It's really nice to deal...
