Sorry I have not replied, been away. I have now got it fixed, turned out to be a faulty fuel pump! So back on the road now but a few hundred quid lighter! Still, hopefully i will put the mrs off shoppin with a quick " you remember what happened last time you went love?" Thanks for all the help.

Thanks, I have had the car dropped to the garage, hopefully get it plugged in first thing on Monday am and see whats what!

Hello all, Can anyone offer advice please? Wife went shopping this morning (bear with me,that is not the only problem!) she came out and started car, drove off and lost power. Pulled over and the HDC light came on and then car would not start at all. As far as I know we have had no recent...

It was ali, I know not the best, probably like for like, but has done the job and it was free, which was handy as recently lost me job!

Just a quick note to finish, have had an insert welded in and new hole drilled and tapped. Good as new and back on the road! At least I saved a load of petrol money! Thanks to all for help and advice! Cheers Chris.

Hi all, Does anyone know the thread size for the engine sump plug by any chance? Disco 2 TD5 2000. Thanks a lot!

Thanks mate, will do.

Hi mate, Thanks for the idea but unfortunately I am in Dorset and I think you are in Wales! I do have a friend who works for a local engineering firm so I am hopeful that he will be able to sort it! Thanks again, Chris.

Thanks James, I will give you a shout if the welder mate angle doesn't PAN out! Out of interest, how much would you want for it mate?

Yeah mate, a posh ally broken one!!! Thanks for the ideas.

Cheers shocker, can't seem to find a second hander!! Trying to call in a favour with a mate of mine that has the gear needed! Cheers Chris.

Hi mate, There is just not enough there, current plan is to get this hole welded up, as I am told this can be done in the ali pan, and then get a new hole drilled and tapped! Unless I can locate a 2nd hander in the meantime! Cheers Chris.

DOH!!!! It's Disco 2 td5 year 2000! Sorry!

Hi all, The drain plug thread on my sump pan has had it! Someone has already stuffed it with a helicoil which was not correctly fitted and has come loose! I have been told there is not enough meat on the pan now to fit a new helicoil, so does anyone know where I can get either a new pan, 2nd...

Just searched for these helicoil things and surprise it looks just like what is hanging out!! Cheers fellas!
