Thanks. I'm wondering why it has taken 4 months for the problem to develop, folllowing the repeated oil losses in the autumn. I'll start looking for a used box.

Filter & oil were changed a year ago. The local L/R specialist I use advised against a further oil & filter change as they thought that would dislodge more muck.

Last autumn the oil cooler started leaking & had to be replaced. The connecting pipes didn't lock properly & fluid was lost - this occurred 3 times before they were successfully fitted. Recently the gearbox has become sluggish to change up & requiring higher revs before going in to top. It also...

Thanks - a local expert advised removing R5 as well: the buzzing stopped; the engine will now start. As I have limited tools & the weather is foul I'm taking the car to said expert to fix. You advised a few weeks ago about a voltage drop problem which I then fixed; however it recurred...

Yesterday I moved my D2 about 100 yards then stopped & switched the engine off & removed the ignition key. There was a continuous loud buzzing coming from the direction of the gearbox which only stopped when the battery earth lead was removed. It recurred as soon as the bty lead was replaced...

Leads, not thread!

I can't upload a photo - is it the large white plug with the green & white thread?

Thanks -I had the top off the engine fuseboard today & lifted it. Is this the connecction to the interior board?\If so how is it separated?

Just recently my O2 TD5 has started making intermittent warning bongs. sometimes coinciding with the radio turning off. The battery at rest is ~ 12.3 volts. ~This drops to 12v when theignition is switched on & the fuel pump is charging. The voltage shown by a cigar lighter port plugin varies...

My 02 TD5 has been losing about 100ml/month until recently when it increased very substantially. Warning was given by a float switch I fitted in the header tank soon after I bought the car 21/2 years ago. During this recent cold weather the car does not warm up properly, even when set to full...

02 TD5 auto after overheating problem caused by oil loss from the cooler. It now does only 30 max up a moderate hill, whilst empty, so the 'box will have to be repaired or replaced. I'm told there are additives which will briefly extend its life. Suggestions & comments please.

my 02 TD5 developed front axle leaks both sides. So far only the rh seal has been replaced, but it still leaks. Should the tophat shaped collar that fits inside the axle oil-seal be fixed to the half-shaft? The one on my car is loose & can be easily removed. If it should be fixed, suggestions as...

Have had to put the repair job on hold whilst repairing a van which has just gone u/s. The well-known oil pump bolt problem occurred & was fixed last year. When the oil pressure light came on I stopped almost immediately & had the car recoverd, so no damage was done. A mechanic friend found a...

Thanks everybody. We are still baffled. The non-return valve & air bleed valve in the filterhead have been renewed. The filter head does not appear noticeably corroded. The timing has been checked, in case the chain had jumped a tooth. The pressure on the HP side of the pump is a steady 4.1 bar...

Injectors are black. it's a 10p engine. As the borrowed MAFS had to be returned another used one was obtained from the local LR supplier - he wasn't sure if it was working but the ECU thinks it is. My mechanic thinks a significant volume of diesel drains into the sump whenever injector(s) are...

Still baffled! Pump pressure in the fuel line going in to the regulator is 4 bar; less on cranking. The oil level has risen to about 6ml above the dipstick full mark. We think this may be due to the fuel draining in when injectors were twice removed & replaced. To recap - problem started with...

Thanks - we'll check the sensor, tho' there are no DTCs on either Autel or hawkeye. Another mechanic chum who listened to it yesterday suspects low fuel pressure - after cranking for 3-4 secs it fires internittently & emits a little grey smoke, probably unburnt fuel. Another fuel pump has just...

My mechanic & I are running out of ideas. Problem began with a clattering/rattling noise that built up over about 10 miles with some loss of power so car was recovered by breakdown truck. Tickover not as quiet as it should be, & rough. Some vibration noticeable. Noise increases dramatically when...

Have had ignition warning light come on 2 or 3 times recently, about 20 - 30 minutes after starting. It was going on & off for spells of 2 - 5 minutes, then yesterday after several on- off periods it stayed on for the remaining 20 minutes of the journey. Today, whilst cold, the light went out...

Be extremely careful when fitting pressure sensor or whatever as the oil cooler port is very weak - have just cracked 2 - the second with only very light spanner pressure. The sensor in the 3rd cooler was left untouched, as it arrived from the breaker. Looks as though it's been fitted with a...
