My 2000 TD5 has developed a slight misfire above 2750 revs with some black smoke. Upto that point pulls well. Recently replaced fuel pump, filter and regulator and bypassed the EGR valve so I am a bit stuck for ideas. Any suggestions as to what may be causing this ? Thanks

Your ECU may have oil in it - had a similar issue many months ago returning from Scotland, ran OK for a bit then played up, had to replace loom and ECU but OK after that.

Folks - has anyone fitted an electric cooling fan to their D2 TD5 ? Trying to work out how to prevent water and mud being sprayed around the engine when going in a bit deep ! Thanks

215,000 in my 2000 TD5 manual, had it from 60,000. Original engine but like me all the ancillary bits have seen better days! Replaced the following: 1 radiator 1 ECU 1 engine wiring loom 1 expansion bottle 1 front hub 1 front ABS sensor 1 clutch 1 set of glow plugs 1 fuel pump 1 fuel pressure...

Mucking around with the EGR vacuum pipes I disconnected all 3 attached to the EGR valve and took the disco for a run. There was no noticable change in braking performance even though one of the pipes is connected to a 'T' piece linked to the servo. Should this be the case or am I missing something ?

Thanks for all the feedback - will try the air bleed valve first (easiest?) and post back but it could be a while. Interestingly I only seem to have the problem if the tank is less than half full. Regards

Thanks fo the help - what is a sling hammer when it is at home ? Regards

Thanks for the replies - interestingly the cruise control switch is the third one down on my Discovery. Might try and see if it fits the fourth (bottom) one. Regards

Thanks for the replies - will try the non return valve first. Are the injector seals something a home mechanic can do, looks like some special tools are required according to 'Rave' ? Regards

Hi - does anyone know what the electrical connection on the bottom right blanking switch on the instrument surround is for ? Also there is a spare connector behind each of the headlights - does anyone know what these are for. Many thanks

Hi - currently have to wait for the air to be purged from the fuel system every morning and if the car is left standing for any longer than about and hour. Have replaced the pump, filter (only one O ring in the middle) and the regulator. The car sits on a clean surface and there are no signs of...

Following a hub failure I have tried to replace the ABS sensor on my 2000 TD5 Discovery. The second hand sensor did not have any connector on the end so I have used bullet connectors to link it to the original wiring. I still get an error when put on diagnostics saying " Front LH sensor -...

Spelling and grammar skills failed me on the last post - sorry !!

Folks - travelling from Suffolk upto Durham soon (A14 and A1) and would be interested if anyone new of some relatively easy green lanes near to the A1. Standard Disco series 2 with AT's on her with millions of scratches and dents on both sides ! The lanes in Suffolk are a bit tight in places...

Anyone close to Mid Suffolk where I could hook up my D2 to a diagnostic tool in exchange for a few cans of Suffolks best bitter ? Lights came on, hub failed, hub replaced (second hand but OK) using original knackered sensor (!) at local garage, sensor replaced with second hand one (by me) with...

No driver operated CDL available on standard D2's unless specifically requested from dealer or fitted as an aftermarket job. Normally controlled by ETC so if this has failed you will have no ABS, ETC or HDC, as I have at present due to a failed sensor ! Check page 41-10 of Rave. Chris

My FPR on a 2000 TD5 has started to leak. What is the most common point of failure and has anyone tried repairing one with the O ring sets that are available on ebay ? Thanks Chris

Are there any shortcuts I can take in removing the heater matrix from a 2000 TD5 with air con. ? There doesn't appear to be any refrigerant in the air con. system at present.

Anyone know why my side marker lights have failed, fuse and bulbs both checked and OK ? Wiring is difficult to follow so maybe someone else has had this problem and solved it. Thanks
