TD5 is a bit high tech for me. The last time I did any real work on a LR was on my 200 Tdi. There must be some way of regulating throttle settings though. Also try running it without the filter and see if that helps. However if it starts from cold I am guessing that is not the real problem...

I'm not sure glow plugs make a hell of a difference. My Merc had defective glow plugs and the garage told me that they made the emissions better at start up and they do very little else on modern diesel engines. They never caused an issue. Besides if it starts that wont be the problem. If it...

Does anyone know what part number rubber tailgate stops are or their LR description? I've googled and searched mail order parts sites but to no avail.

It might be a good idea to get new screws. Mine had gone rusty. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JU8GXE0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Need to acid etch galvanising so it will accept paint.

Stay cool and I guarantee it will irritate him no end. If you have taken reasonable steps and he doesn't leave you alone then the shoe is on the other foot. That is harassment.

Take reasonable steps and a diary. Chat to the local authority and get their advice over what is reasonable and what is not. If they are onside it will be worth a lot. I would suggest there is not much he can do. It might be worth paying for a solicitor's advice. If he starts harassment a...

Ouch! :mil9:

Have a look at the pipe off your servo. I had soft brakes and it was down to a leak. The test for your servo is to pump your brakes with the engine off until they are hard and then start it. The pedal should soften.

You might consider measuring noise levels at his boundary and using it in a response. I can't imagine odours are significant since he is not your immediate neighbour. Has he actually discussed his concerns with you? Other suggestions are to make sure he is on holiday when you do anything...

Possibly. Try putting it on axle stands and checking rotation of each wheel braked and un-braked. You would have to disconnect the props. That eliminates wheel braking and bearings. From memory the handbrake is a mechanical linkage with rods. Someone will surely correct me if I'm wrong. It works...

Turbo lag has not been particularly noticeable for me but improving mpg can never be a bad thing. I hoped the better gearing from tall tyres and an overdrive would help here. Quite impressed with the TD5. Still hanker after my ol' 200TDi and low comp V8 though.

I've just had rear wheel bearing replaced. They did not squeal, just added to the general road and drivetrain noise. They clattered and clanked when they completely failed. Does it pull to one side when braking? This might indicate that the brakes are binding to one side. It would be a...

If I wanted a Landrover to drive like a car I would buy a Freelander :p My priorities were to eliminate as many of the rattles as I could, get the door to close without risking tearing off the interior grab handle and actually have working wipers and bulbs. Chasing any slack out of the...

A Landrover should come with a health warning. I've never done this (yet) but have my share of scars. Usually from struggling to undo a seized nut. Have also set myself alight while welding.

235/85 are about 31.5" so expect an improvement at 60mph ish over the 29" tyres that I currently have.

They have taken some balancing by the number of weights on each rim. They certainly would not have been my first choice. I'm also going to get some Disco type white steels along with new tyres.
