My thanks to Frostythor and Meego for your help. Frostythor, as you can see from the drawing that you posted, it shows a distinctive bend just above the cotter pinch bolt which the leaver fitted to mine doesn't have! I'll try and post a photo, not done that before! Does anyone know if different...

Hi again everyone, I've not been on for a while as I've not had my car for nearly a year but that's another sad story! This post; following a noise coming from the input shaft to the gearbox I had it rebuilt by Ashctoft and refitted. Now on getting the car back I find that in trying to engage...

Hi there every one, Please could one of you with "Rave" look up the time allowed to exchange the flywheel on a TD5 Discovery? I've changed my computer recently and have not yet been able to read my copy. Garage who have done the job of replacing the gearbox and while at it replaced the...

Ok, So I've got a replacement lock actuator! Second hand from a breaker, there are a number on ebay so must be a common failure! Looking at the replacement I'm really unable to see how it was put together so rather stuck as to how to go about "smashing" it to enable me to unlock the door...

Hi Sierrafery, Thanks for your advice. That's what I was beginning to suspect. When I use my "Lynx" I get a stronger thump locking than when unlocking. Have you any thoughts as to how I should set about "smashing" the actuatorso as not to damage the door? Again thanks for your help, take care...

Hi All, I have a problem that so far has me beat, not much hair left to tear out! The rear passenger, nearside door is jammed shut. I've managed to remove the door card, in itself a tricky job. I removed the speaker surroundand then the speaker which allowed me to get a good grip on the door...

Hi all, May I come in on this thread? My aircon is not working either! I have a disco 2 td5 with the climate control the unit that allows different temperature settings for driver and passenger. Now the compressor does not come on! I can "force" it on using my Lynx and then the centre of the...

Hi there, I've just swapped engines between two Td5s and am in South Wales near to Bridgend so any advice that I can help with give me a shout. I have the "Lynx" diagnostic and have recoded the injectors a number of times. Best of luck with the job,

Thanks for your advice, Brian, As I've written to you on a personal message, the lights went off on a short drive and have stayed off since! I will however practice doing the modification on a spare modulator to have ready should the lights be seen again.

Hi all, Not posted in a while, my apologies if this has been covered before. First question: why are the three warning lights called "the three Amigos"? Second and more complex question: I have the lights on and have run the "Lynx" diagnostic. Fault codes showing: 4114 shuttle valve switch...

Does not blanking this pipe off render the oil cooler " ineffective?

I don't think that even " Land Rover monkeys" would use a threaded bolt and a jubilee clip!

Hi, Can I come in on this one? It seems to me e that it's totally unnecessary to do anymore than just disable the "egr" ! This can be done in a number of very simple ways: remove the vacuum supply to the two "egr" actuators and block them, remove the power supply to the two modulators or block...

Me looking for help, advice again please. Reading back on previous posts I'm assuming that you chaps call the three amigos the "abs light" , the "traction control" and the "hill decent" lights. I also have on the brake warning light. These lights came on after my rear nearside wheel came loose...
