So voltage before was 12.6volts, when we pressed the start button it dropped to just under 12volts with no cranking at all

Thank you, Will do, however when I press the start button now she won’t even crank, I assume the poor battery CCA could cause this. Would putting a multi meter on the battery whilst pressing the start button still register a drop in volts I even if it doesnt want to turn over?

So my Multimeter says the battery has 12.8v but I’ve previously experienced a battery that charges but is still duff and won’t crank a car. Being new to D4’s I’m a bit stumped. The Earth strap on the OS has been replaced and battery terminals look tight. I’m at a bit of a loss as all day...

I’ve not removed to be able to tell yet but I’d assume so. I can only find one battery on the NSF side of the engine bay. The OSF part of the bay doesn’t have a stop start battery.

Hi Folks, My discovery 4 HSE (2009 non stop/start)has a battery issue I think. I’ve not owned her long and when starting her the first crank always sounds laboured. I’ve charged the battery with my Telwin evo charger and whilst it said the battery was charged, starting still sounded laboured...

Sounds silly but how long does it flash for? I’ve waited a few minutes and it still is flashing :(

Folks, When I start my TD5 from cold for the first Second or two, she runs, but barely, and sometimes stalls. after a couple of seconds, she’s completely normal and drives perfect, for that first couple of seconds it feels like a lack of fuel as I can’t rev her. It’s not a major issue however it...

So when servicing my I discovery today the sump plug struggled to come out and basically whoever serviced her last has damaged the thread and put it in hand tight. Before I have to fit a new sump I want to try a repair kit. Any off the shelf suggestions please? many thanks ben

I haven’t inflated it anymore, the battery is off and that was the bag stretching as the axle was lowered. All sorted now though

Update… found that I could deflate the bag from the compressor end

Morning all, I’m struggling here, so I’ve jacked up the vehicle and allowed the rear axle to drop right down however I cannot get the bag out. As the pipe on the top is held in by a hex nut I cannot access it to undo the pipe and as the bag is under pressure I can’t just slip it out, many...

Yes, if you zoom in on the picture you can see it’s a 10mm hex head. As access is so tight I assume I need to lower the hub rugby right down to allow me to lower the inflated bag down a bit so I can unscrew the bag ?

Folks I’m removing the rear suspension airbag to allow me to weld the chassis behind it where it’s become a bit holy. My question is of all the removals guides on YouTube when removing the airline it usually is a bayonet fitting that you push then pull the airline out. On mine it doesn’t have...

That’s good to hear.. on the whole she’s a solid truck. Got a little bit of plating to do o the chassis with some 2mm steel and then protect the chassis again. The arches have been the same on my last 3 discos

Afternoon folks, just a quick. Question, my inner wings(underneath ABS pump and washer bottle l are not too bad however I’m at the point where I will soon want to replace /plate then due to the usual rust. I’ve seen repair panels for TDI 300’s however none for TD5, does anyone sell them or if...

So the three amigos have always had a Mind of their own. Sometimes they go out, sometimes they stay on. when they do stay illuminated, the ABS light is always the one that stays on before the other two light up again. since I’ve had the oil seal repaired they stay on and as before the ABS...

All three brake lights are working?

Now I assume this will be related however I need To ask the question. I’ve had my drive shaft oil seal replaced today. Picked up the truck this evening and the handbrake warning light is constantly on. On the start up the light also stays on(doesn’t come on then off then on again if that makes...

Morning folks, What have people done, EGR delete/blank off? is it worth the effort? 2004 TD5 cheers Ben

So it’s definitely the alternator. I’ve booked it in at the garage to be swapped. Is this a job I could have tackled myself or is it better off leaving it to someone with a ramp etc?
