Haven't posted for a while - many miles of trouble free with the D2 TD5. But, possible problem looming. It is loosing coolant relatively quickly - topping up every couple of days. No water in oil and no oil in water. I can see though a pool of water on flange on side of crankcase below turbo...

Morning all, Just covered a good few hundred miles through France. In addition to all the oil leaks I now have a rumbling between 65 and 75mph!! Have looked at some of the older threads as I suspect too much play in front transfer box bearing. UJ's on both front and back props all free from...

Hello all, Still busy trying to fix oil leaks (engine and transfer box) on my late 2005 TD5 Landmark before going to France at the weekend. Whilst laying under the beast today trying to spot the source of the multitude of leaks I thought I'd change the gearbox oil as I have some MTF95 in the...

Hi all, Been having to do some long distance drives from Surrey to Cumbria in my 2004 D2 TD5. It has 133K miles and has been well serviced, LR main dealer up to 100K. Having bought it in January I changed the oil recently with Shell Helix 5W30 as per the spec, both oil filters were...

Evening all, Just a query about the TD5 engine, as I'm new to these having had many 300TDi's. It's in a 2004 Discovery 2, all totally standard, 129K miles. At different throttle openings the engine noise varies. I know this sounds obvious, but I'm not talking about volume. At very light...

Evening all, My D2 with climate control has stopped directing any air (hot or cold) to the windscreen. This is a pain, with this wet weather as it keeps misting up! Must get it sorted this weekend. All works okay blowing plenty of hot air through feet and face vents, just nothing to the...

Hi all, New (to me) 54 Plate TD5. A few niggles, used to Land Rovers so know what they are like. This one has climate control which seems to be stuck in foot well only mode. Can't get it to direct any hot air to the windscreen, irregardless of whatever buttons I press. Anybody had similar...

Hi all, Just acquired a 54 plate TD5. Have had a 300Tdi previously. TD5 is a different machine altogether, much different (in a good way). My 300TDi never seemed to run hot (according to the gauge) just hovering below the halfway mark all year long, whatever it was towing, whatever it was...

Hello all, Just bought a very clean 54 plate TD5, couple of niggles as expected (I am used to Land Rovers having had a Disco 300TDi, Defender 300TDi and a Series 2a)! It is a late model with a comprehensive history and I see that the nearside rear air spring has been replaced 4 years ago...

Hi all, I am trying to find a decent D2 around the £6K mark. Ideally I want a 7 seat one but then have potential concerns over the rear air suspension. I have found a reasonably decent 5 seat GS. Does anybody know whether it is possible to fit rear seats to this one? It has the floor fittings...
