Well all. Just to say all fixed. Good service from local suppliers. On removing u/s regulator, found small green O ring had failed. No faults found on gearbox, except level. Checked today and fine. Thanks for everyones input.

Thanks Raywin, quite agree about loosing car and holiday money to our European cousins. Phoning round and can get a proper Bosch regulator by mid-day and gear box codes checked this afternoon. If FPR works out. Fingers crossed. Thanks for your input.

Hi Raywin, Thanks for the reply. As i say, change mine about 500 miles ago, after I had the drips, I suppose I was wondering, if it was to fail big time, if it would spray diesel out with some force? Thanks again.

Hi All, Update, having thought about it overnight, thought bolts may have been loose, but checked and stripped today, bolts were still at correct torque, so now thinking, perhaps the Fuel pressure regulator has failed. Would it come out of there at such a pressure? reluctant to put...

Hi All, Just returned after sitting on M5 for two hours. With some tools and engine cover removed, looks like the Fuel pressure regulator gasket has failed. Up against a bit as due to tow caravan to France on Wednesday. Replaced Fuel Pressure regulator (FPR), Gasket and O rings...

Are these still about as i'm after one. Thanks

Hi, September 2001. '51 plate' just turned 53k miles So the future is looking good.

Hi All, Well 10 years out of the original battery can't be bad, but age and the cold weather are finally taking its toll on the old one. Anyone got any recommendations on which new battery to go for. The current one has terminals in the centre, which seen to be £30+ dear than the...

SOLVED, Faulty new air spring. Thanks for everyones help and support. Mike

Hi Thanks guys, and Mark for the offer, I will see what happens when a guy comes over with a genral scanner. Everything seems to work fine and as it should with the engine running, but drops when the ignition is off. Keep you all posted. Thanks for the advice

Hi All, Still at it Well, renewed pipe, still no difference. When I'd jacked back to to replace pipes and run engine up, suspension levelled out, then dropped weight off jack fully down, suspension dropped another 20-30mm, but immediatly rose, suggesting load sensors are ok. Looks as though...

Hi Dave Thanks for the quick reply. The measurement were taken, once Discovery reached normal ride height, about 60mm bump stop tip to axle. Then switched off and height monitored. It raises and lowers when off-road mode is selected, so one would assume sensors are ok, but I will...

Hi All, I am still having trouble with our 2001 Discovery 2 TD5’s rear air suspension. So any advice would be welcome. It used to drop after about two weeks of no use, but now getting more frequent. Drivers side dropping more than the passenger side. Read the forums and everything pointed to...

Hi, All joints sprayed, but will do again and double check pipework. At the view seems to be a solvable problem and not electronic. Keep ideas coming, all welcome. Thanks mike
