Well, I'm going to test it out at my local indy Landy garage...there's something spooky going on though! I took the blooming thing out yesterday gave it a good clean (thinners on the thin metal wires) left it about an hour. Stuck it back in drove like before, jerking when the turbo kicks in...

Hi all, the colour has started to wear away from the leather drivers seat on both of my Disco's. I've spoken to some restorers and the problem is they need the trim code to match the paint. I thought the details would be by the plate by the radiator. It says "Trim" but nothing's there. Any...

:confused:Anyone live near Hertford who's got a TD5 so I can test my MAF

Nope no fault codes when he tested it with a Nanocom at the time of replacing the Wastegate Modulator. Cheers Al

Here'a a couple of pics of the oily pipe from after the MAF, should this be the case? and also if it runs smoothly without the MAF can I safely assume that that is the problem hence fork out for a new one? Thing is, when it was put in about 8 months ago it still didn't cure the problem...a guy I...

Hi all, I've been having problems with my turbo not kicking in between 2500 - 3000 revs (TD5, reg 2002, auto), I've changed the wastegate modulator and no difference. I just tried driving with the MAF disconnected completely (pipe waggling away) and all was fine again but the thing is I changed...

without sounding too stupid are they easy to find, so I can get access to to view them? Cheers Alex

Cor, quite a lot of possibles then. Thanks!

Oh dear, that's not quite what I wanted to hear. The problem is that the ECU seems to stop the turbo kicking in at around (2.5 - 3k), he read on his nanocom that there was a problem somewhere there. He had had a problem with his and replaced the wastegate hence we tried his in my Disco and it...

I'll give it a try, thanks!

Hi guys, regarding the ongoing saga with my 02 D2 auto. I put in a new wastegate modulator some time ago after my friend tried his in mine and it worked properly again :-), thing is he had a Nanocom which I presume (?) reset the ECU. Once I got mine from Land Rover, I took the old one out stuck...

Here t'is

Hi again, I'm replacing the rear prop on my S reg 300 TDI Disco (manual) and I've noticed that inside the shaft (the doughnut end) a metal band (looks almost like a hair band?) has come loose and broken, and the plastic bit (I think it's a spigot?) has cracked at the top. I think it can still be...

Hi all, driving back from Berrick to Hertford (A1) on the half term break I noticed that there was a lot of play in my steering. The car is a S reg, manual 300 TDI (Disco). There is a fault that I know about already, a leaky swivel ball seal which is being fixed this weekend, but what else...

Hi all, I'm just about to change the gearbox oil in my disco and the square (sump?) plugs I have don't seem to fit the drain plug. Any idea what size I should ask for for at my local car factors? The Disco is a 1998 manual TDI. Cheers! Al

Where abouts is this part then, here's the walkthrough that I did. www.discovery2.co.uk / Waste Gate Modulator - Over boosting

Hmmm, that's got me I thought it was that, that was changed. Wastegate modulator was changed, is there a solenoid as well?

Hmmm, I'm not sure exactly which pipe goes where, but once I find out I'll give it a try, but it seems strange that it would bust after just one day, and what would cause it to break? I'm under the impression that something is telling the ECU that something's not right with the turbo (or a part...

Hi all, I recently changed the Wastegate modulator in my 02 td5 auto due to having problems with the acceleration dipping when between 2500 - 3000 revs. Once it was popped in it went like s*** off a shovel for a day or so. Now it's back to how it was before. How can I check to if if it's already...

Great stuff, thanks!
