Hi All, I had oil leaking out from the propshaft oil seal on the rear diff. Took the propshaft off & found that the flange has excessive play. I then removed the oil level plug & found it covered in metallic gunk. Safe to say my diff is knackered, albeit quiet ie no whine coming from it...

Hi all, I've just bought a 2001 TD4 which still has the original radio cassette player. It only has one hole at each side for fitting a removal tool. I've got a few radio removal tools but none seem to fit. Does anyone know what tool is needed to remove this unit, I'm not wanting to destroy...

Hi All, Was just giving my Disco 2 the once over & have noticed some play in the bottom balljoints. Have priced up new ones at around £9.00 each didn't think it would be much of a job to change them!!!!! Then I had a read at the Haynes Manual!!!!!!! Landrover Special Tools...

Hi all, Just started to notice a strange noise after the starter has dis-engaged a sort of grinder slowing noise? Hard to describe but it is a new starter fitted just before Christmas plus the noise comes after the starter has dis-engaged. It is the same noise as I get once the ABS has been...

Hi All, Since the cold snap my 2001 TD5 keeps blowing the 30amp fuse that protects the rear window heater? A new fuse will last a couple of days then it will blow. I have checked that with a new fuse in place I am getting power to the window heater alright. I must have a short circuit...

I have started having problems with my alarm going off everytime I lock the car with the button on the key. It almost instantly goes off once it has locked. I have found that by using the key in the door lock allows me to lock the car without putting the alarm on. What has suddenly gone...

I am having problems every now and then with my ignition key not turning once incerted into the barrel. 9 out of 10 times the key turns no problem then just once the key goes in but will not turn. Usually when you are in hurry. Anyway you have to pull the key out & try again, and again, and...

Hi all, I have been told about all the advantages of fitting a performance inhancing super chips, better performance better mpg etc. All the manufacturers would have you beleive theirs were the best buy. Has anyone on landyzone got one fitted, if so what one, and are they as good as they say...

Hi all, My TD5 is completely gutless, at around 2250rpm I get a vibration through the engine upto 2500-2600 rpm then it smoothes out but still powerless. Example, slow down going up hill to allow car in front to turn right. Start to accelerate from 25-30mph foot to floor, the gearbox kicks...

Hi all, Just limped home today with a major problem. Down on power & a hell of a vibration/noise at 2350rpm sounds very bad. Checked to make sure turbo fan blades are alright & everything there look good, blades rotate without any major end float!!!! Any ideas? This baby has cost me a...

Hi all, Still got a terrible vibration coming just over 2200-2350. It goes away once the rev's go above or below that range. Only problem is with the TD5 auto 50-60mph is roughly bang on 2250rev's. Reading through the forum it looks like the rubber coupling on the rear prop is favorite. But...

Hi All, Since buying my TD5 all I have seemed to do is repair leaks! First leak was the rear diff, Then the fuel pressure regulator started leaking. Fixed these two then I find a leak coming from the Power steering pump! I have cleaned the pump & it looks to be leaking from a joint in the...
