I think the oil light came on because the oil was below min on the dip stick though?

Hey guys, got a non starting td5 here. Last week the in laws were just on the way home when the oil light came on, just as they pulled on the drove the engine was running really rough and then cut out. I checked the oil and it was below min, so topped it up. Never ran since Aa man came out...

Hey guys. Probably been asked loads but got a 2003 disco td5. Recently got the old non starter, plugged it in, 4 injectors open circuit. Looked at the injector harness, full of oil. Checked the ECU, full of oil! Can I use any ECU from a td5 disco and it be plug and play or will it need...

Cool, seems a simple enough task then. Just need to get me a pump of some sort

What do you mean by a t bit? The guide I saw said the filter is just held in with 3 Torx bits. Also, what sort of pump would get the job done for filling?

Hi guys. I want to do an oil and filter change on my td5 auto but just want to check if I've got the right service kit. How do I know what gearbox is fitted? It's an 03 td5 auto and I've found this service kit...

Well, my td5 was having a starting and cutting out problem. Long story short, i changed the injector seals and problem was solved, cars been fine for a good 500 miles until the other day. It is now misfiring, starts and runs ok, but the misfire is pretty bad, the car shakes quite violently and...

Nah the ecu in there looks old, all the serials numbers etc have rubbed off. Me too, the only time my car sees a garage is for the MOT, this only ended up in the garage as I was tied up changing the clutch on my wife's astra so advised him to goto dransfield because he wanted it on the road...

I tried that but he said they binned the old ecu because it was faulty.

The guy in question is Dougs grandson. Just been thinking. If they did change the ECU then surely both keys would need recoding? They never asked for the spare key. So when the in law gets back next week ill try the spare, and if the spare key still works surely that proves they never...

Hi guys. I recently posted about my fathering in-laws disco 2 td5 having cutting out and starting problems. He took it to a local landy "specialist" in sheffield who had the car for 2 weeks and on the final day came to the conclusion it was the ecu causing problems so they swapped it out for a...

Thanks for all the help guys, changed the injector seals and jobs a good en!!! Could for the life of me get the viscous fan off as the spanner I bought came as one part, so I ended up turning the engine over using one hand on the viscous fan spanner turning the pulley and then using the other...

Great stuff thanks mate. Will you put up a pic tomorrow of your genuine LR part.

So is there much point in changing the valve if I haven't got the red bit which actually turns it into a one way valve then?
