Have you accidentally loosened the cable connection in the end of the bellows ? it has a rod with a ball on the end which is retained by a screw cap.

These boxes are normally bullet proof so I am surprised you are having problems. My local garage who is a Land Rover specialist told me the biggest problem with these boxes is getting the correct oil level as it does not have a dipstick filling arrangement as with the 300 tdi.The fact that the...

Don't believe all the bad press, it's a case of 2 + 2 making 8. Most vehicles have problems and they all cost the same to put right, the problem with LR is finding a reliable repairer. The main stealers seem to be only inerested in selling you a vehicle, after that it's bugger off. I bumped into...

I have discos with both, springs and air suspension and the air suspension wins by a mile. The ride is so much better and with the ACE the cornering is certainly a lot better. I have yet to put our very large caravan on the back of the air suspension TD5 but I am confident of a great result. If...

I have been told by my garage that the fuse box under the dash is suffering from corrosion on the fuse and relay contacts due to water ingress. When I bought the vehicle (a TD5) the water was p1ssing out from the inerior light when it rained (the previous owner obvious did not mention this)...

Air suspension and cold weather always seem to be a bad combination. The air bags go hard with the cold and that does exacerbate any problems such as leaks but I would be a bit suspicious tha both should spring a leak at the same time. I would look more at the pressure valves leaking which I...

I'm confused about your vehicle, you say a 1995 TD5, they were only first manufactured in 1999 or do you mean 300 tdi, or perhaps a 2005 TD5, the difference will certainly have a bearing on the cause of the problem.

All this talk about droparms being a barsteward to get off makes me laugh, I have a 300tdi that has been fitted with a replacement steering box and the droparm keeps working loose despite being tightened with an air gun (commercial) being wound right up on the pressure. I have to get it...

What model are you refering to, it will help to assess your needs.

I have to admit the Landrover is not the best car I have had for reliability. My car of choice before I changed to a Discovery for towing purposes wasan 04 plate Laguna diesel which when I sold it had 228K on the clock and was still on the original exhaust, clutch, engine and turbo. Even the...

You could check the carpet around the transmission tunnel under the dash, it could be a heater mattrix leaking, failing that......head gasket, you dont always see vapour pouring out the back as it could only be under load, i.e whilst driving. Your CATS will absorb a fair amount initially which...

Whoa, this is a real difficult question to answer remotely, i.e., without actually inspecting the vehicle. By the sounds of it your water loss seems to be causing the engine to over heat and sieze, which is not good. This is unusual for an old landy as the with mileage the wear on the piston /...

I have a pair finished in silver that I would sell for £20 plus postage.

From what I remember the bell housing is different and of course the TD5 has 2 'lock ups' as opposed to one on the 300. This of course would be a problem with the gearbox ECU as well.

I have never heard of sunroof blanking panels but as has already been stated, if you seal around the frame to the roof properly, and then seal the glass to the frame it should not be able to leak, and you still have light coming in. It would certainly look better also as any panels fitted would...

The compressor is situated externally under the passenger seat and when you start up you should be able to hear it running when adjacent. Firstly check the fuse in the under bonnet fuse box, its the 5th from the left and the relay which I think is 2nd from the left. The fuse can be checked...

Welcome to the recycling club where money is changed into Landy joy, hopefully.

I had a new switch fitted just 4 months ago and mine is also playing up. I think it is due to the air con drain and the amount of water that is on the roads these days after all the snow. Well, I hope that the case but I am going to put heatshrink sleeving on it anyway.

Both ? could be a bad electrical connection on the compressor, they are easy to remove. Give all the electrical connections a good clean and re-connect all the pipes and connectors before re-fitting, and start up, thecompressor should start straight away. Have you checked the fuse (5th from the...

Have you checked the oil level, this should be your first concern.
