Hi there, Thanks for getting back. I was thinking about how to beef-up the rubber seal, your idea of a length of rubber cable would be just about right, thanks. I was amazed how much water came out of the spongy foam on the back of the carpet, it's taking ages to dry out in the house. The...

Hi folks, I've learnt so much reading through your messages and looking at your photos I thought I'd submit this new (to me) water leak I've found. 2004 Td5 Disco with Air Con. I'd been getting a build up of water in the passenger footwell, right into the front left hand corner. The carpet...

The tale goes on! We only ocassionally get the noisy bursts of sound from the compressor after stopping the engine, often we just get the usual levelling out hissing sound. But, sometimes when we switch the engine off and pull the key out the compressor makes bursts of much more noise than...

Thanks for the ongoing chat and inputs guys. Yesterday the Disco was used quite a lot and didn't make the noise once. We let it stand for a few seconds after coming to a halt before turning the key to off and no noise, just the self levelling hiss after we got out . Hmmm. The pump sounds...

Hi Guys, Thanks for so many responses, I appreciate them. We've had the Disco for six years and it has only started this loud noise from the compressor unit at ignition switch-off over the past four days. It doesn't do it every time though. We still get the hiss of air as the SLS levels the...

Hi folks, Our 2004 Td5 Disco has started making strange noises at the air compressor. The suspension system is working fine, no leaky airbags, been there done that and the height sensors too. Immediately after the Disco has been driven and is parked, as the ignition key is turned to the off...

Thanks for the inputs guys. Got it all working again today. On late 2003 and 2004 Td5 Discos the air-con front cabin heater fan is controlled by an electronic circuit in a case attached to a large metal heat-sink located behind the glove-box. No big resistors, it's a big MOSFET (Field Efect...

Wow, I see what you mean, I'll make a CD of that. Thanks.

Thanks guys, I do have the aircon. Sierrafery said "open RAVE >electrical library>connector views and see C0858(power transistor) and C0901(power relay", sorry but I don't know what RAVE is, is it a website or a manual I should have?

Hi folks, Our 2004 Td5 Disco with Air Con has just started blowing full-on only on the heating fan. No lower fan speed level can be set even with the manual heater button. I've heard talk of a resistor failure. Can anyone tell me what the cause might be?

Try giving this guy a call, Alex Lindsay, Newbridge Industrial Estate. Tel: 01506 854827. He's not a breaker but he is heavily into Series and will know where they are. No commercial connection, just a happy customer.

Hi folks, We have a widetrack 3/4 ton Sankey Trailer. Does anyone know how we work out its age from the numbers on its A-frame plate? It has the reinforced jockey-wheel plate and still has cable operated brakes. Anyone know when these trailers were first introduced or when production stopped?

Thanks Itsnotajeep, I'd appreciate being able to read regs in plain English. I look forward to seeing them.

Hi Itsnotajeep (love that name) Thank you, it's good to hear a point of view from someone who might have been part of team pulling trailers over. I tow a caravan more than the Sankey and the problems in recent years have come from the increasingly complicated rules about laden, unladen and...

Hi guys, Thanks for the inputs, we'll get onto finding some. Cheers.

Hi 90truckcab and CharlesY, Thanks for your replies guys. No, I've not been pulled over yet but the police do pull caravans over and they often have a poor or incorrect understanding of the legislation as it applies to towing so I want to be prepared if it happens. Charles, the...

Hi folks, Our Sankey 3/4 widetrack has no breakaway cable or secondary linkage. I've heard that with a NATO hitch with the securing clip fitted we don't need either and in any case the legal requirement post-dates the construction of the trailer. If my local friendly police officer...

Hi folks, We've got a 3/4 Sankey Widetrack that needs a new pair of springs. Anyone know where these can be bought in the UK?

Thanks Munster, that'll be what we do then. Mogman

Hi Folks, I want to remove the spare wheel carrier from the rear door of a 300tdi Disco. Before I remove the inner trim and probably damage it in doing it, can anyone tell me if I need to remove it or are the six bolts holding the carrier on threaded into captive threads on the inside of the...
