Did try the exhaust ran it just out the down pipe sounded quicker but no more go. Jon

Well it has made the disco usable and really does go well, when you get to the point that you have been through pretty much everything without chucking ££££ at it blindly, I will take that as 'fixed' for now. if there is another fault hopefully it will totally fail at some point then at least...

wouldn't know anything about that not exactly legal is it ;) Got the ecu back today the chap done an brilliant job of sorting out my ham-fistedness, plugged in and it is like a totally different motor great improvement across the whole range and pulls away very well. happy for now, still think...

Hi looking at you list there you will increase the articulation, except the bump stops will limit the set up on the upward travel the gain will be when the axle is hanging(a bit pointless imo).personally I wouldn't bother changing the prop not much need for it without a lift. But if your main...

Another option would be copper pipe, a lot of kit car builders use it for fuel and it is what I used on my mx5 v8 project and bobtail disco. Works a treat, Relatively cheap and can be formed/bent easily, Standard gas fitting's work on the steel too so you could just replace a section and join on...

thanks for your input guys, just a little update, chipping it was something I was always going to do with it anyway so I ordered an sports chip off ebay in a DIY installation kit. thinking I have done a fair bit of soldering and some work with pcb's how hard can it be? desolder the chip and...

no videos yet but as soon as the td5 is fully sorted will be getting back to working on this will have to get some then. it has a bit of a strange exhaust set up duel pipes with no balance section and the main straights are square stainless to save space under the floor pan gives it a really...

nothing to exciting at the moment just a good 3.5 with hotwire efi once its fully on the road will be looking to build a 'hotter' 3.9 providing the rest of the conversion holds up! so far only had it up the road(private track :rolleyes: ) a couple of times seems to go pretty well 950kg + short...

scary noises I really hope not! will look into it, not done a diesel before I assume you go through the glow plug ports? the atf came out pretty clean on the first change so pretty confident the box and tc are good Jon

recovering addict, sold my 5.9 magnum dodge ram and daily driver duty's have been taken up by a td5 disco. Still have this in the garage awaiting completion not a land rover but its heart was donated by one. jon

thanks again for the reply's stall test 2100rpm (short drive warm but not hot) think that's about right for a zf on a cold day? regarding the turbo I think someone was chasing this fault about without anyway of reading boost pressure as it is getting 18.5psi (above atmospheric) at the...

Just a quick note to say hello from the swamps of Norfolk. Jon

Thanks for the reply, will do, will change the gearbox oil and have a look at the colour tomorrow but doesn't feel like there any slip in the box and it locks up into gear fine just feels gutless. Giving it a rev in neutral it will rev up and past 3k but it is a bit more lethargic about...

Hello, I recently bought a 99' disco 2 td5 es auto, was down on power and think the dealer just wanted rid of it. only got 80k on the clock and very tidy all round well spec'ed and the price was right so I bought It thinking will be something simple sticky waste gate etc. but so far I have...
