    Why did you buy a disco!!

    Bought mine to pull a twin axle caravan. I then had to sell the caravan to pay for repairs to Disco. . . . .

    out of ideas for lack of power

    Unplug the little sensor on the side of the air box and take it for a drive. If there's improvement you need a new AAP sensor. Also disconnect turbo wastegate arm and check it can move freely. If not free it with WD40 and then try and get some copper grease worked into it. If this doesn't...

    running problem

    Check crank sensor and wiring as mentioned. If you're manual there should be a shim under the sensor, or you'll get a noisey crank signal fault. Auto no shim. Faulty main relay can cause it to cut out. The Injector seals may have been botched, a bad washer or nicked o ring. Keep a close...

    Injector Timing Marks

    I found a post on another site, which said the marks are just behind the front sprocket. Apparently there is 1 - 5 marked on the cam between the sprocket and the hole for pinning the timing. I'll investigate, when I'm trying to find my dodgey injector and report back. I agree though, I've...

    Injector Timing Marks

    In Rave it says there are marks on the camshaft, which line up with the cam carrier. This lets you accurately set full lift on each injector when doing the bump adjustment. This is a new one on me, as I've never seen them. Has anyone seen these marks and possibly explain where to look.

    td5 oil chain replacement -easy or difficult ??

    The oil chain does have slack in it. On Td5's its the oil pump bolt that holds the cog thats the worry. As shifty says, thread lock the bolt or use a nord-lock washer

    The ecu will cut power if it is overheating. What vehicle do you have have defender or disco?

    Turbo Technics VGT Turbo - control of.

    The actuator on the VNT controls the vanes in the turbo.ie boost pressure changes vane angle Connect the old wastegate pipe from the intercooler pipe to the actuator of the new turbo. Get yourself a boost box, wire that in so you don't go into limp if boost is a little high and you're good to...

    Nanocom erratic coolant temps and altitude turbo pressure

    What's the reason for checking the AAP sensor and coolant sensor?.. Are you having power issues? If the coolant sensor is duff, it either reads too high all the time, too low all the time, or your temp gauge will read zero and the high temp light will be on. The later happened to me...

    Disco II Air suspension – the definitive guide

    Carrying on from this...... The truck is still only dropping the 20mm it should occasionally on switch off. When its not dropped the 20mm, if I open door and switch the ignition to position 2, it lowers the 20mm. This could be the following day, so its not like some delay on the ecu or...

    Discovery 2 TD5 auto not starting

    The wire is green with yellow stripe and runs from the the xyz switch to a connector behind the window switches and handbrake, from here it changes to green with red stripe and goes to slabs ecu under the dash on passenger side. If its blowing fuse 25, I'd crawl under the car and check the...

    Discovery 2 TD5 auto not starting

    The engine will only start if in park or neutral (start inhibit). If the xyz is duff then the ecu cannot verify it is in park or neatral and hence start inhibit and it will not crank and start.

    Disco II Air suspension – the definitive guide

    Hi According to Rave, when switching off the ignition and opening a door the air suspension is supposed to drop 20mm from normal ride height. The suspension is then, supposed to rise again when the engine is running with doors shut. The suspension on my truck only does this occasionally...

    The Dreaded Misfire

    UPDATE....... After changing virtually every part on the engine in an attempt to solve this, I can finally put this to bed. Hopefully it will help someone else and save them some money. If your Td5 auto starts with hanging gearchange, rough/missing at 2250 and vibration, change your...

    Discovery Td5 Auto possible wiring fault

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. The Engine harness to all sensors and red plug is brand new, so I'm happy this isn't the problem. The temp gauge dropping to cold and warning light coming on is happening quite regular now. The gauge will be fine and stay in middle, but then drop and...

    Having issues with disco at minute and could do with some help. New engine and engine wiring loom, Egr removed. Idle a bit lumpy and dips as if I've got a bad earth. Earths checked and appear ok. Nanocom showing Egr short circuit, Egr stuck closed, Air flow circuit current, Temp...

    Auto Gear Changing.

    Another thing to check is for condensation on wiring around passenger fuse box. This is usually due to poor sealing on windscreen/ sunroof. Condensation runs down wires and onto circuit boards of fuse box. I had a fault like this and auto box, ace and sls were affected. If your screen gets...
