Haven't checked air filter - probably too late now (36hrs after). Speed probably around 15-20mph - fair bit of water chucked up. Is the air filter inlet that vulnerable?

Intake? Is that the air intake?

Diesel - TD5 engine

Here's an odd one... Yesterday went through a 1ft deep 20 yard long flooded section of road. Came out other side with engine misfiring, belt squealing and trailing a cloud of blue smoke. After 10 seconds everything back to normal. Suggestions invited - other than avoid flooded roads which...

The air bleed valve is a bit mucky - but not really sooted up. Having checked everything else - including fuel temperature, FGR etc and spoken to several LR specialists, they've come to the conclusion that its probably the copper injector seals. That's what they will be doing (at 90p each its...

I'll ask about the bleed valve. I usually keep the tank around half full.

Thanks for your advice guys. The garage have already checked fuel flow from the pump and have eliminated a blocked filter. The mechanic has checked the oil (and the ECM end of the injector loom) and says there is no diesel smell - and no rise in sump oil level - which suggests that injector...

Hi Disco 2 - 180k miles. I had a problem starting, with fuel pump making strange burbling noise. After starting it ran fine. Mechanic diagnosed 'knackered' pump which was replaced. Within a couple of weeks the starting problem returned - plus a new one, engine cutting out after 5 miles, and 2/3...

Finale...(hopefully) Chaps got a credit note from the 'main stealer' for pump no 2, and used the cash to buy a guaranteed compatible pump from a local motor parts factor. It was about half the price, came with an assortment of sealing rings (bagged with labels for different engine numbers!) and...

Over the years I have had frequent visits from the 'Three Amigos'. Usually the computer say ' 134 Shuttle Valve Electrical failure'. We have replaced the ABS Modulator (once) and the shuttle valves (twice). They are back again BUT I have noticed something odd. When I first start the car the...

Further to this 'thread'. This month's Caravan Club mag has a letter from another Disco owner whose vehicle also broke down in Southern France last summer. This poor soul had to wait 12 days before the local LR mainstealer even looked at the vehicle. The aforementioned then pronounced "c'est...

Definitely changed pump - know and trust the guys (they are a local small garage), they showed me the 'old' pump before buying the new one first time round. And second time I watched them stripping the pump off, and saw the new one arrive. They are also really p****d off with the local...

TD5 - New LR part water pump fitted in October as part of an engine replacement. Within a month I was losing coolant at the rate of a litre every few days! No water or staining was visible anywhere. Garage checked (pressure tests etc.) and said no sign of head gasket or other problems but...
