Help.......... Ok my 99 discovery td5 auto has a slight problem, when driving on a run it seems to be jerking, almost like it is slipping out of gear for a second, after a little while all drive disappears, it drops to idle and just won't play. Both the manual and sports indicators flash, as...

The car is 1980mm high to the roof bars, really don't go under anything less than 2m!!! The carpark at my work has 2m height and i cringe everytime i go in it, swear i'm gonna take the roof off one day.

Need to do the brake discs & pads on my 99 td5 discovery, (making really strange noises now), done the pads before, no snags there, but are there any strange items required for the discs, or is it just a standard socket set job? Also, does anyone know the torque settings for the mounting bolts...

Yep, from memory, only knowingly needed it twice in the last 5 years, both due to little japanese sports cars

Apart from an empty wallet, I normally get around the 500 mile mark, can fill up 35 miles west of Glasgow, (out Loch Lomond way), and get to Portsmouth, though i really need to fill up again when i get there. That's sitting at 75mph with cruise control on. I have done Portsmouth to Carlisle...

Just changed the rear brake pads on my 99 TD5, things went fine, car still stops, but i was wondering about the wear on the old pads, not only is it different between the two sets, but on the driver's side, different between the pads..... Passenger side: Inside = 3mm...

4 1/2 years and it's only cost me 8 quid for a temp sensor over and above servicing. Never look back now.

Can anyone tell me what size Torx bit is needed for the filler plug on the TD5 Auto gearbox? Don't wanna crawl around the road tonight if i can help it. Ta

In the documents provided with the car should be a "security card", it contains the code and instructions for disarming the alarm with the key, without this i think your pretty knackered

I had this problem with mine, when it happened, i went straight back to LR and started complaining, (i'd only got it a week or so before), they had never heard about it, so after a 20min drive on various types of road with blokey from the garage dept, he worked out what it was, apparently it's...

Yeah, open my eyes and found it now, thanks anyhoo

Has anyone tried the Microcat program from Green Oval? Just tried to install it and it comes up with no authorised dongle. Anyone know how to sort it?

For working under the car, i've found that jacking it up, then lowering the front wheels onto a couple of solid breezeblocks gives enough room without much risk of falling, personally i don't trust axle stands on something that heavy. I've only done the engine oil with both filters and changed a...

forget the last post just found this...... Autobox Filter Kit Just wondering about the Torx bit i keep seeing on other threads.... TVM

ok, next stupid question, (sorry, but only just started to trust myself working on this car). Has anyone got a definitive list of parts needed to replace the gearbox filter + oil on '99 TD5 Auto, including out of the ordinary tools? Big ask i know, but i've never found Haynes any good, and...

ta, will check that out, grease gun may be an option, all be it a messy one.

Hi all, just wondered if there is any trick to refilling the auto box after draining etc, the filler plug doesn't seem to be in a very good place for tipping a bottle.

I had this exact same problem on my '99 TD5 a couple of years back. The control valve/compressor unit is faulty, needs to be replaced and set up again, (not cheap, needs plugged in at LR dealer). It can be run for a short time, just raise the suspension with the pushbutton and lower it again...
