Yeah mine was leaking there after i had the gasket done so i put a jubilee clip on to secure it and that sorted it but now the pipes bulging and i believe the split in the pipe is where the clip has been tightened. Thanks

Hi all, I had my head gasket done september time last year. I had removed all the engine covers etc and had put them in my garage. On tidying the garage today i decided to refit the covers. When doing so i noticed the top radiator hose seemed bulged up so gave it a squeeze and it was solid but...

Hi again. Well i changed the injector wiring harness on its own. Removed the ecu and found a hell of a lot of oil inside the plug connecting to the ecu. See picture attached! I cleaned everything down and fitted the new harness. I ran it around for a week with no obvious effect to my mpg. Took...

Had a look at the injector harness today and removed te plug from the ecu to find it full of oil so i am going to change the harness anyway. Then il drive it round for a week to see if any improvement and then get it back on the computer to check for the faults. Thanks

Ok sounds a good idea. But surely its not just coincidental that my fuel consumption has decreased so much and these two faults are logged on the system. Anyone know how big a job it is to do the injector harness? Am I right in saying that if number 3 injector is not working due to being open...

Ok been on computer today and cane up with 2 faults. Maf sensor fault and number 3 injector wiring open circuit fault. Is this just a replacement of the injector loom that I keep reading so much about? How easy is it to do? Also would the Maf fault come up if I just disconnected the sensor to...

Anyone got a new rear abs sensor? Ssw500030 the one with the short wire and plug on that they would like to swap for a new front abs sensor. Ssw500020. ?? Was given the front one by a friend who had sold his disco and had no need for the sensor. The sensor is brand new in its original sealed...

Thanks guys. Taking it in next week now so hopefully they will find the problem. Was thinking they may have got the fuel pump timing out a tooth or injector proramming. Hopefully something like this will show up on a diagnostic computer. Will let you know how i get on.

Yes i did and they did fix the head gasket. Im just trying to figure out what they could have possibly done. No harm in that is there? going back in next week. Thanks

Great. Last 200 miles, 70 quid worth of diesel, 54 litres, 17mpg. It just keeps getting better. What can I do?

Hi, Have had my Disco about 6 months now. Its a 2000 reg auto. When i first had it i worked out i was doing around 23mpg around town. I noticed i was losing diesel and so had the fuel pressure regulator done and removed the egr valve and worked out i was doing about 25mpg. Then the head...

I brought my TD5 Disco and sold My Navara. Although i have had a fair amount of problems with my disco i would buy another disco anyday compared with the navara. I did like the Navara but with no real creature comforts compared with the disco and also it was not very good in 4 wheel drive. Tried...

Got my truck back today, all sorted so lets see what happens. Plastic dowells were well shagged. nice shiny steel ones now. Thanks again for all the replies and good advice on this topic!!

Ratty i have got every finger, toe, arms and legs crossed that it is just HG. i am so hoping its just because of those stupid plastic dowells:mad:! I am going down tomorrow to have a little look see. thanks

Me and my bloody big mouth. Garage ran engine up to temperature today just to make sure about water pump and noticed top hose pressurised so did sniffer test and yes result was positive. So head is now being ripped off and we will see what else they find!!!

Which model have you got? My footwells got wet in my 2000 TD5 and it was the air con bungs blocked either side of the bell housing under the car. Is your whol car leaning over or just rear left or rear right? does it have rear air suspension?

My local Landy specialist told me this morning that it should be roughly £450 to do the head gasket if it was the head gasket plus more if it needed headwork i.e skimming etc. Got to be worth the money having it skimmed while its off anyway in my book. I just hope that the water pump is...

Disco In the garage this morning and have had a phone call to say that the water pump is leaking. I didnt see it leaking but i have missed the big brown patch underneath it where it has been running down. Must be evaporating as steam so hopefully its sorted get it back in the morning so we will...

Ok thanks guys. My top hose does pressurize but can squeeze it a little ut then does de pressurize when cooling back down. I have had all plastic cowlings off and cannot see any obvious leaks. Also been underneath looking up and still nothing. I have also seen read on another forum that the seal...

So should the hoses go solid after a good run? They are always soft when cold so no build up of pressure when cold! Thanks
