Must admit I haven't changed the dowty washers - even though I should have as they shouldn't be re-used. I am expecting to be chasing leaks on the pipework so will probably be removing the pipes at some point in the near future so will change them once all the other work is complete...…….or if...

Hi all, Just to say thanks for all of your help. Managed to get the pump primed today by running the engine - it still took about 10 seconds to prime though. Banjo re-connected and ACE now working as it should with no warning lights. I will monitor for leaks but I've done quite a few miles since...

Hi Stanleysteamer, To be honest that was one of my next points to check - that the pipe from the reservoir to the ace pump is free of blockages etc. It's not obviously collapsed. I checked and re-checked the routing of the serpentine belt as I put it back on so I don't think it's that, but I...

Hi sierrafery, Thanks for your reply - no I didn't prime the pump as I didn't know it was necessary. Would you be able to confirm how, please. Thanks, Roy

Hi All, Having recently returned to Discovery 2 ownership after a 10 year break, I'm suffering issues with the ACE system on my 2004 TD5 Landmark (as well as saggy headlining, leaky sunroofs etc!) The other day the red ACE warning light started flashing along with a 'boing' warning, but it...
