Well the seller ignored all my letters, So i involved a solicitor. After £1300, I am collecting my disco Thursday! Bad news is it is STILL in the condition i sent it to them in, So looks like I'm going to learn about my Disco in a hands on way. I have ordered Injector seals, Front cam seal...

Garage now closed down and moved. Car still with the people who were meant to fix it, Engine runs (so mechanic says) still loads of back pressure, unwilling to do anymore and solicitor has sent letters etc.... Nothing, so only option now is to try and get it recovered home and fork out for the...

I don't like the idea of scrapping her, but wife + 5 Kids = Lack of money So running out of options.

I believe the head is cracked, but Garage didn't take head off, although they tried to say they had. They said they have changed injector seals, but still there is a misfire and alot of back pressure. I'm Near Caerphilly / Merthyr tidfil. Not sure how much to sell as is, PM offer?

After trying to get my money back on My TD5 nightmare, I have got to the point now where i am stuck with it. No refund and Not fixed. So the question is now Do i try and get the head fixed (Cost? How Much work?) Or do I strip off the parts and scrap her? Sell her as is? (Anyone...

I used the info from the Crock of **** link, I do feel that i will be ignored again. But this letter also sent recorded (Signed for) So i will know when they get it and then 14 days from then I will start filling in forms. Thanks to The Mad Hat man :5bcheers2:

Well thats 14 days for them to reply and nothing, So off to post office today to send second letter. Pre court letter

Disco is still with the garage that they had carry out the repairs, On the grounds that the mechanic wasn't happy to test drive it in the current condition, Neither was I willing to drive it. I issued a letter complaining about the faults since buying, and sent it recorded delivery (Signed...

In the process of making a claim against the garage, they are unwilling to do any work, even though the fault (Misfire) remains after the changed the injector seals. And they are also unwilling to refund or exchange anything. They have until the 24th Jan to respond or i will be issuing court...

Yes they have covered the cost, Had a call today all work been done to injector seals and head repaired, Still running lumpy. The mechanic said it needs to be driven to make sure the issue is fixed for sure, but he is unwilling to do so incase further damage is caused. Suggested that maybe a...

With garage ATM, they said they have done the injector seals, but run the same. Looking into cracked head after new year. :smash:

I have managed to get old faithless (Mondeo) back on the run for now, Hopefully I will be able to sort a trip down between xmas and new year. If not as soon as i have a confirmed date i'll post dates. Feel free to PM me when ever

CataClean works wonders, Helped me to get 3 old cars with skyhigh emissions through MOT and also a 56 Plate Renault laguna which failed miserably. CATACLEAN 475ML CATALYTIC CONVERTER CLEANER FOR DIESEL & PETROL CARS AND VANS | eBay

I'm not too far from Ammanford, also know people in Fawley, hampshire. Did you have to pick the stuff up by a certain date / time? My Landy is off road for a while but maybe able to sort a run about car soon

It was odd that it started to run away but then just died, Maybe some residual contamination left caused it? Will be getting it looked at tomorrow and plan to make the garage fix it by sending it to LR.

I will be trying to arrange for the Disco to be moved to their garage to be inspected and hopefully fixed FOC, If not i will use the link that Ratty (Thank You) Posted, And see what is said. Thanks for your input guys Guess my lack of knowledge is worse than I thought :ban: :baby:

There were no replies this morning when i attempted to drain the contaminated oil, On advice given from a diesel mechanic it would be ok to turn over the engine as long as i could kill power to the ignition. Looks like my fiddling days on TD5 will start again with some simple cleaning...

Hey everyone, After an eventful day I have an update. After managing to drain almost all of the contaminated oil out, I added some flush and new oil to get correct level, I turned the engine over and straight away could hear / see either an injector seal has given up completely or the injector...

Hello everyone :dnfnoob: I collected my 2003 Facelift Td5 D2 about a month ago, Had an issue in week 2 when the prop shaft came apart (Front half was left hanging down underneath. Fixed under warranty) But last night while driving my wife and kids to a play centre, We broke down :frusty...
