Hi All Going to purchase a cylinder head and put that in myself. Which way would be the best to go. New upgraded AND cylinder head at £1300 or reconditioned one at £700. Been watching at lot of YouTube in what needs done and I think I can do it myself if I take my time. What’s you thought in...

Hi All Put in the new injectors, still have to get them coded in but still white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Still have to change the oil that has diesel in it, that would make the discovery smoky? Ordered up the nanocom to sort the injector codes but starting to get worried it’s a cracked...

Thanks for the help, with put them in tomorrow and let you know how it goes and order up the scan tool. Thanks John

Hi again for the help. If I got one around £600 would you know any that would be good for the job. If I put all the injectors in, when the Discovery start and can I drive it until I get the dIag scan tool. Thinking if I take it to a garage it’s going to cost me around 400+ to get it done so...

Thanks for the reply Sierrafery. Does it matter if I no longer know which is one injector or five as the person rebuilding them didn’t keep them in order as I had them. How much would it cost to buy a diag tool that would do the job? It’s something that could be used time after time. Thanks John

Hi Unfortunately a complete rebuild with new codes, I had them all in order from front to back with code beside each one and photos taken. But have been told by Bosh injector system how repaired than that I will need then coded to the discovery. Does it matter if they are not put in the right...

Hi Update on what’s happening. Just got the five injectors back and now £900 lighter in the pocket. All five had cracks and burnt injector tips. I took photos and the injectors numbers down to they can go in the same way as taken out but was told it makes no difference as all the injectors will...

No problem, will let you know how the injector test going when the person comes back from holiday

Hi Jim5 thanks for the reply. White smoke all the time. On startup just a little put when you put the throttle down a lot. If you let it tick over it’s only a small amount but every 30 seconds or so it changes to a larger amount then back to small.

Thanks again. Will put in the OEM seals. I know when I was cleaning the injectors I was going over the top.

Hi Discodevon thanks for the reply. I followed the website (www.discovery2.co.uk / TD5 Engine - Injector Seal Replacement) and used Bearmach parts. The only thing that confused me was the refit of the rocker shaft. The tightening down of the adjusting screw until you feel the injector plunger...

Going by some of the threads on this, its looking like an issue with the fuel injectors? That would explain me trying to clean them and went overboard as usual. Any thoughts?

Question please. My TD5 was starting to get hard to start so I replaced the injector seals now it start first time every time without an problem. Only thing now is that each time I start it I get a lot of white smoke from the exhaust. Checked the see if any fuel was coming out of the injector...

Thanks all for the help on what type of fan to use. Looks like the viscous fan wins so will spend the money I’ve saved up to change it and buy a performance intercooler for the 200tdi instead

Great thread. Just the two question I was think about. How do you check a viscous fan that it’s working properly? Also can up upgrade a viscous fan
