Clutch or Brake master cylinder leaking.

Bootiful, bet if it gets muddy you'll even wash it. :-) Remember to take your muddy boots off when getting in.

Get a current clamp and just try sections of the wiring to eliminate them. If you have a multimeter already then you can buy one as an accessory to it. You slip the current clamp over the wire to see if there is current running through it. They are less accurate at low current and with...

Hi Bill & :welcome2:, It's the ball joint around which the rear axle pivots. It's at the top centre of the acle and linked back to the body by two big arms (A-Frame). As the axle twists when you pull off the A-Frame ball joint stops it rotating forward or backwards. The joint will also...

Hi Richard, Water is only going to get in via the head gasket / cracked head / craked block. Before ripping the motor out it would be worth pursuing getting the head off as it may be a lot cheaper and easier to fix what you've got that convert. Also, unless it's your weekend plaything, you...

Hi Jeralex and Welcome to LZ! :welcome2: Is the coolant level still droping now with the new rad or is it completely watertight? Was the engine run with little or no coolant in it at any time while the rad was leaking? I'm asking this as it may be a leaking head gasket. After you stop...

Hi all, My TD5 has been slow to reach normal operating temp ever since I had it, taking roughly 8 miles in the winter and about 6 miles in the recent nice weather. I complained to the dealer under warranty as I've never had a vehicle take so long to warm up. I got no joy out of them and in the...

Hi Steve, Just to be sure... Fully to the back is High range, centre Neutral, Fully Forward low range. lever to the right normal 4WD, Lever left Diff Lock (6 positions). Levers often quite stiff, especially in Discoveries as they very rarely get used in Diff Lock. The actuator is not very...

TD5 forum - bloomin obvious requirement init!

Now that's an "interesting" video in your sig :eek: :D

Hi Ed :welcome2:, The labour to take the gearbox out and replace it not including any parts at my LR dealer is about £500, but the major benefit of the Land Rover is that you need very few specialist tools to do the work yourself. There are many threads with step by step pictures and help...

Very happy with my TD5 2002 with 48k on the clock. They have more power and torque than 200 / 300 tdi models and if serviced properly seem reliable. There are a couple of engine sensors that can play up but they are relatively cheap. Check the engine oil level exactly as Shifty says, and the...

Nice one :) Why not just drop by a dealer, there's bound to be one near you. They will know the colours on sight and have a touch up possibly. Halfords have them but Land Rover colours are limited.

I think you will find all four are handed, not just the front ones. The genuine part ones are as are the ones from TerraFirma. Longer pairs on the back, longer ones of each on the offside as Trewey said (of course).

Yep, or the wiring has rubbed through the insulation, if left flashing when turning right etc. The front wiring follows a seperate path I think so that would be the wires on the way to the back.

Hi Shifty, Your garage sounds much like mine, I've just GOT to get it sorted, it's becoming embarassing even if I can still find the tools when I need them. It's like a game of bloody hopscotch to get from one end of the garage to the other right now. Too many things on the go at the same time.

I'm looking to get a Nanocom, I had heard that it's the one of choice for a few hundred quid.

I thought you could get them upgraded to the USB version. I think Ratty might have one.

Suggest 1pt of water first otherwise with a hose, if the drain's blocked, it'll be more than misting up if you take more than 10 seconds to clear the drain... :D

Quite agree DM
