If this is a TD5 I'd have a look at the injector wiring loom. This is a common issue that can give these symptoms. The seal from the camcover can leak and this sends oil down into the red plug on your ECU, which can cause all sorts of running problems. Check the red plug for oil. If its there...

You would be OK with UK MOT - I think Landrover were gearing up for emissions on the US and wider EU market - but not sure about Swedish. If there are no Swedish members here thats tried it you should check with a local MOT station. It will depend upon what the regulations were in 2002 - not...

127 miles on mine but its an early 2000 - so thats around 11k per year which is not too bad for a car in regular use.

Best Check the servo unit first. This is the classic reason for having to use a lot of effort to depress the brake pedal. With the engine switched off - depress the footbrake several times to empty the vacuum. Keeping the pedal depressed start the engine. As the engine starts there should be a...

The link says £1.58 now :o(

Agree with all that - in addition check around the transfer box for leaks too, its a common area.

Question - If I do want to adjust ride high, what system do I need to access? (considering changing to HD springs on front which will lift by 30cm - but have air oon rear)

I had a weird one last year with a hairline crack in the power steering pump that leaked when stopped but didnt when the engine was running. If its not the above then you need to get underneath when you've taken it for a run. Hope this helps

I'll just mention that I understand Land Rover recommend that the system be bled using their Testbook equipment - though I've not experienced any difficulty using the standard 2 person method.
