I tried this and it didnt work, it still leaked past the o-rings, it a bitch of a job, i would reccommend just replacing as it is a pain in the arse to change, and to do it twice is even worse, be quick also, I left mine and it took out the starter motor as well, all the diesel was dripping on it

sorted it, it was a tyre problem, had new tyres put on and the pulling is gone:)

Ive had a long time problem with my steering, first it was pulling to the left, had the tracking done and it was fine for 4 weeks, took it back and the drop arm ball joint had play in it, fitted a new one and had the tracking redone, all fine then for another 4 weeks, then car starts pulling to...

They were sticking as 1 pad had about 5mm left and the other had 15mmm left. 1 of the guide pins was jamming which I thought was the problem, so i regreased both and swapped them round and they were nice and smooth then in and out no problem

where can I get a testbook from? do I also need the nanocom lead???? :rolleyes:

Not sure, have not used it since last year, will have to try it out. I have only had this problem since draining the water coolant and refilling so thought it must be related....posibly a sensor gone etc...:rolleyes:

where would you suggest i get stainless steel piston kits from? cant seem to find them for the TD5?:rolleyes:

YES!!!:p Heater/aircon unit is switched off, it runs from when the engine is started until the engine is shut off, its only started to do this since replacing the coolant:confused:

cheers guys, the pistons are all still shiny and smooth, I have read somewhere that one brake sticking can be the master cylinder too?, just dont want to fork out £70 for a caliper and then find its the master thats all. so you would recommend a new caliper?

:D no, ive not added an electric fan, and I know the viscous fan runs all the time, the fan I refer to is at the front on the first radiator, behind the grill. It runs all the time the engine is running ever since i drained and refilled the cooling system.

thougt I had a trackong problem as the car would pull to the left slighty....noticed when braking that the steering would then be straight, i assumed the brake was stuck on. Took the caliper off and sprayed WD40 under the seals and worked the pistons in/out a few times, they seemed to have got...

Bump:)

looks like I maybe shafted, seen a post on another forum from last week stating that LEGS in Wrexham has gone under:eek: Can anyone confirm?

I never told him about the 2nd and 3rd gear problems before as I thought i was getting a recon box, surely they would change all the syncros for a recon box anyhow?

I had the gearbox go last year returning from holiday, pulling off the slip road 4th-5th then BANG, no drive but had 4th so drove to next services, I sent the TD5 for a recon box to be fitted, after paying out £900 + a new clutch, looked underneath and no new clean box (just a new bolt on piece...

:doh:I cleaned out all of the inlet manifold and intercooler this weekend and put the egr blanking plate on, 1 bolt was siezed so had to cut it out and removed the water hose from the top of the block, it looked like there was no antifreeze in the syatem so i drained it from the drain hole on...

Recon Gearbox, Valeo clutch and fitting including VAT £830 :cool: they have a lot of stuff check out their website

Thanks for the reply, I have had a quote from Landy Ltd in Wrexham (they are VERY;) competitive), they are a LR specialist, has anyone had any dealings with these?? cheers Pughster25

Hi all being on holiday for a week 250 miles away all fine TD5 towing well, on the way home just put diesel in to get me the rest of the way, pulling off no problem, just onto the motorway changing from 4th to 5th a big clang bang grind for a second and Ive got no drive what so ever, tried 4th...
