I ran our golf TDi PD with what ever i could find in the back of the garage and didnt have any probs for over 50K miles (25L of oil for the TD5 = £30, 5lt of oil for the golf = £55:eek:). I agree with Charles as I know someone who ran their 96 disco V8 including all box/diff oils on JCB oils...

Now all us TD5 owners have our own special place on the forum, i've had a thought! With many TD5 owners now having diag equip (nanocom etc) is it worth trying to put together a list of what the ECU sensor's normal operating figures are? ie the ambient air pressure sensor on mine gives a...

Do you have a link to the other web site which provides the normal values for sensors?

So am I right in thinking that the defender setup is better? (brain was working on way into work this morn. Sure I can disable the wastegate module with the nanocom)

got the power back. the wastegate was sticking. a bit of wd40 sorted it out

Did mine with brake cleaner. Took a couple of cans but no oil at ecu since

yes think it is

my disco is down on power and is shuddering under acceleration. I'm thinking seized wastegate? (no faults stored in the ECU) How "free" should the movement be on it? I tried to move it earlier with some mole grips and it took a lot of force to get it to budge. Is it also possible to run the...

that looks like a casting mark to me. To see if the mounts are stuffed, view them from under the disco. there is an approx 10mm dia hole in the bottom of each one. if the rubber insert is near or touching the bottom of the metal housing (normally in excess of 10mm between the two parts) it's...

Not seen that before. Can you post a picture of it?

yep! mine sometimes even rattles when its warm!! all depends if there was a full moon the night before!:p

Pre-2002 can have the chip changed which can have improved maps loaded on to them. I would got for a remap every time over a 'tuning box/chip' as the upgrade is specific to the vehicle/driver. I used J Fearn to do mine (was set up on a rolling road too). not the cheapest about but he's only...

these are logged as new faults. once cleared they go away for a couple of days then come back

prob a daft question......but is there any real way of stopping the oil getting in to the injector connections? the last loom that was fitted was off ebay. is a land rover part any better?

Plug at ecu and also at cylinder head are clean

Hi all, My disco has been running a bit roughly recently so dug out the nanocom and got faults on injectors 2,4 & 5 saying open curcuit (current). The loom was replaced about a year ago. Is it possible for oil to bugger it up so soon?

This rumble is the same as i've been suffering for the last 2 years! search on the net will show it's quite a common problem on the TD5 Auto. I've tried changing loads of parts to try and cure but no luck. A few people on the Australian Land Rover Forum have found changing the drivers side...

had a look yesterday and oil was in the red ecu plug (not a lot, prob what was left in the loom from before). have cleaned it all out and see if it cures the problem

have you had the ecu read? are you sure it's not in limp home mode?

ummmm............did have it replaced about 18 months ago but have had to clean the ecu plug out a couple of times since. will have another look at the weekend to see if any more has made it's way down there
