Hello all, I wonder if someone can help I pulled away today in D and it was as if it had gone into some kind of limo mode, no revs and just moved at a snails pace . Tried going through all the gears , no different then all of a sudden back into life. It wasn’t showing any warning lights at all...

Many thanks Would you know what size pipe i need to get ?

Just a quick update I case anyone has the same problem, It got worse so I parked it up for a few weeks , the m and s lights weren’t on as I have read here happens when there’s an xyz fault but when accelerating the D would disappear on the odometer and it seemed to hold on to to which ever...

Hello all, Tried searching for this but I can only see it where the flashing M&S are showing as well. (Which isn’t happening on mine). On my 2004 TD5 Auto I noticed today that when reversing ( going up a slight incline at the time I don’t know if that’s relevant) and a couple of times just...

Many thanks Stanleysteamer great explanation a bit too much for me I think i better take her back to the chap who did the hub for me , Many thanks again

Many thanks for that , I think i need to get it changed as it’s getting worse, is it possible to count the teeth on the ring without taking the complete lot out again?

Can you recommend a good one thats not too expensive?

Apologies Sierrafery I just found that attachment in the files app on my iPad I was thinking it could be that hub that’s just been changed , would that imbalance show any fault codes on Hawkeye ?

Hi again sierrafey, I can’t open your attachment unfortunately. I did put my multimeter on the old switch though and I go a reading of : 3.018 with both valves left alone 2.020 with 1 valve depressed 2.016 with the other valve depressed 1.019 with both valves depressed And this was with the...

Nice one Do you think that the original one I took off would work with this mod or would the switches be knackered?

Many thanks Sierrafery , is the modification very difficult to do as Ive seen a new svs with the modification done already on eBay for £85 just thinking should i just bite the bullet and get one thats already done and keep my new one as a spare ? Any thoughts Cheers Tom

Hello again, bit of an update. Finally got the shuttle valve repair kit and had it changed , cleared the codes and all was fine for a short while. Firstly I noticed that from starting up the lights would all clear except for the ABS light which goes out after about 10 mph is reached, I cant...

Bit of an update All the faults were cleared again and we are now waiting for a shuttle valve repair kit to arrive strange thing though all the missing dash lights ( abs hd & tc) have come back on now but when the three amigos come on now they are joined by the hand brake light , any thoughts...

Ive just checked the ignition again after you saying that and the glow plug light comes on for 2-3 seconds max and if you turn the ignition off and on again it wont come back on until you wait for about a minute, does this suggest anything to you ?

Many thanks for your replies , I don’t know if it was a nanocom but a friend put his machine ( I think it was a hawk or something like that) and cleared the codes and also shook the shuttle valves . I tried it yesterday and its made no difference. Is it possible to turn of the warning lights on...

Evening guys I hope your all safe and well. I wonder if anyone can help, Ive just had a front wheel bearing changed on my 04 discovery td5. Was all fine for a few days but now I’m getting lots of juddering when braking especially when at slow speeds , also hearing that traction control noise...

Hello all, I took the headlining out of my td5 today as I noticed a slight drip after the heavy rain we’ve had recently. I put the hose over the roof with the headlining out and found the leak on the drivers side on the part that the pipe joins to the sunroof. It looks like someone has...
