i saw a video over the weekend on youtube where they added beffier o-rings to the new loom prior to fitting, that also solved the problem. have ordered a odb reader so hopefully get the error codes when it arrives. thanks for the input .👍

Perfectly understandable, if you need some alone time with a box of Kleenex 😉

Connect the jumper to the main feed to the starter,missing out the solinoid this should turn the starter. If that works it’s the solinoid that need pulling apart & freeing up. Chances are something has seized together after the swim.

On the loom issue I swapped mine for aftermarket, cut the injector wires then resoldered them together and no oil since. 👍

(Shhh, don't tell anyone, but I have had oil in my red plug since I bought mine in 2014. I changed the injection loom as everyone said and kept on getting rid of the oil for a while. Seems to make no difference, so I only clean it out when I...

Ive just traced a cutting out problem with my td5 conversion to a bad earth to the fuel pump, also had oil in the red plug started out with the engine ticking over with no throttle. Then started cutting out bypassed all relays and found a bad...

One bit done, plenty to go....welded in some 2.5mm plate. only had a can of black hammerite available, so thats what it got.

Repaired the right side sill, found some soft spots last weekend. Cut a larger piece out under the front door and cleaned the inside of the sill from front to back with pressurized air and vacuum. Lot's of sand and dust which of course keeps the...

It really grinds the gears, the scum cause hundred's of Pounds in damage for the potential of a few Quid !

Morning guys, So, over the weekend someone tried to break into my disco, they tried to prize the lock then tried to prize the doors damaging the door panels on the drivers side, only found out as the dog was barking. Absolutely fuming :mad: as...

I can vouch for pioneer 4x4 brake lines, absolutely amazing quality and very easy to fit!

https://www.pioneer4x4.com/products/braking/economy-brake-line-kits-extended-brake-line-kits/land-rover-economy-brake-line-kits-extended-brake-line-kits/ Sure this lot will do them somewhere on their website, they do custom lengths also.

I fitted those during my chassis change in 2019. last MOT tould if you do not change them they will not pass the next one. They can not make even simple brake pipe.

Ok I took it that the two conductors was black the other was colour for each speaker. Below is a wiring diagram, so you will have to put a meter on check the carrier voltage etc. Or with the speaker connected plus sound the speaker diaphragm...

Despite the fact this thread seems to have wobbled off into Freeloader territory, I agree totally with the sentiments and the thoughts behind them. The whole point of running your vehicle for ages is to defeat depreciation. And you only do this...

Problem solved...out of curiosity, I reconnected the nanocom to see the speed reported for each wheel and voilà! The left front wheel, the one the TC was blocking was the right one, was indicating a much lower speed than the others. So I figured...

When you go to start it after driving, it cranks ok and not slow? Can you start it and drive it for a bit then it turn off. before starting again, pump pedal 5 times and let the prime function run for 5 min, can you hear all 5 injectors spraying...

Did any of that needed to be replaced or are you throwing sht at the wall to see what sticks? When completely cold, it will only start when pressing and holding the accel pedal? After 10 minutes of light driving, you turn it off and try to...

It is a shame, despite everything, I still like the car and want it back on (and off) the road. It deserves it. Having now finally sorted the Disco 4s suspension (🤞), I'll turn my attention back to it and have another fiddle. You never know...

10P or 15P? Is there a MAF? 15P will no MAF will drive like this.

try this: try this

I've seen a decent carpet fire start because someone wanted it fixed 'quickly' ...

Morning everyone, probably a good place for an introduction. Disco Mk1 TDi owner now fitted with a 3.9 V8 EFi, unimog diffs and axles, Fox Racing suspension plus a NP205 crawler box and a Magnum transfer case. I went for a short drive looking...

Decided that I need to check the oil pump sprocket bolt on my 2000 TD5. First job was to remove the front crossmember. Air chisel, breaker bar and 2 hours of fighting with rusty bolts and it's done. Knocked the captive nuts off with air chisel so...

I use satin black for most things, ive also used hycote bed liner paint on arches & other bits n pieces....looks good but need to watch when washing & polishing as some rags stick to it then its time to get the masking tape out.

You can buy textured paint in a spray can to replicate plastic parts. You could try heating them up gently with a heat gun. Or a good quality plastic reviving gel.

i say flooring but i just mean accelerating hahaha!

just wondering, is this from neutral, bang in drive then flooring it straight away? or already in drive, floor it and it does nothing for 2 seconds? do the revs jump up or like pause for 2 seconds?

Has to be said this is also par for the course with an auto, the torque converter has to power itself up, and there may be some electronics involved which might also be a factor, but not sure about that. @sierrafery will tell us. You get used to...

I took mine on the mx track 🤣 🤣 Yer very spirited of me.
