Afternoon all, I've just had to drop the tank from our D2 TD5 as the fuel pipe assembly above the tank has started leaking and spraying diesel everywhere. It was only the one with the green connector that was leaking, but all lines showed signs of wear so I've ordered the group of 4. However...

Has anyone got a nearside (UK passenger side) rear light (the upper one, not the one in the bumper) in good condition they would sell ? Must be the facelift version with the black edges. Just noticed a substantial crack in ours !!

NOW SORTED THANKS TO THE KIND GENEROSITY OF A LANDYZONE MEMBER ! Just found that I'm missing one of the twist in bulb covers on the rear of the headlight on our facelift Discovery 2. Does anyone have a spare one they can sell me ??

Having eventually wrestled the Discovery key from my daughter (its her daily driver) I set out on a drive to warm the auto box oil up before a drain and change. As usual, the drive threw up a few more issues that need looking at, but I'm getting used to that now. When we first bought it a couple...

I'm converting the ACE pipes to flexible hoses, as per other posts but have run up against a problem. I started stripping the components off ACE block to take it in to get the machining done, but one of the "solenoids" or whatever they are on the top of the block will NOT come out. Even the...

My facelift discovery 2 had suffered a bump to the front and I have just been replacing the bumper. The headlight washer pump outlet pipe had also broken off, so I sourced a replacement pump but now I come to connect it up I've found the pipe end of the "quick release connector" has snapped off...

I've got a leaking ACE pipe at the rear of my Discovery 2 that's going to need replacing, so I was planning to drop the rear propshaft and then remove the rear ACE ram/rollbar assembly. This should give me a bit more space to get the ACE pipes out/back in and whilst its all off I can treat and...

I just bought a "DEFENDER TD5 DISCOVERY 2 TD5 GENIUNE INJECTOR WASHER KIT BRAND NEW DA2479LR" from a business seller on ebay. The kit was £47.99 and arrived this morning - a brown envelope containing 5 loose copper washers and a blue bag (like Britpart but unbranded) with 5 o'rings. Genuine...

Just looking at buying a new fuel filter for my 53 plate TD5 auto and noticed mine does not have a senor fitted to the bottom of the current Bosch filter. Was the water sensor fitted to all Discovery 2 TD5s or just the earlier ones ? Or has mine been "modified" ? I can't see any wiring tucked...

Our (new to us) 2003 TD5 auto is having a few issues. It had a "cheap" Eurocar Parts fuel pump fitted when bought, and would run for a while, run rough then cut out and be a pig to start. Thinking it was down to the cheap pump, I've just replaced it with a VDO pump - but it still does the same...

NO LONGER LOOKING, HAVE FOUND ONE :) I'm looking for a TD5 auto for my daughter, we've got a few months before she can have it on the road so would consider a project, but I no longer have the time or inclination to take on a rusty basket case ! Its going to be a daily hack down country lanes...

I'm looking for a "bargain" rear lower engine/gearbox mount for a TD4 Freelander, LR part number is KKH000070, its the L shaped mount with a big bush in the middle and a little one at the end. Must be new or at least the bushes must be in excellent condition. Like this:

Has anyone had experience of one of these failing ? I had an oil leak on my TD4 that soaked this mount/bush for a while and there seems to be a lot of play in the bush and the engine/gearbox seems pretty free to waggle about, shaking the gearstick under load. The part number is KKH000070 which...

Just had a call from a friend who has just replaced a front caliper on his 2000 TD5 (he was setting out to do both but did the first one and ran into this problem) and can't get any fluid through the system. With the nipple open the pedal goes to the floor but no fluid comes out. He's even tried...

When the seals start to go on the TD4 turbo, does it start leaking oil down the back of the engine ?? Mines been smoking on start up quite a bit for a while now (clears after about 30 seconds or so and then runs fine), and I've noticed its been "marking its territory" for a while but had not...

Whilst looking for a replacement door for my FL1 (some maggot has key'd it in the past), I picked up a Land Rover head unit from an 03 plate FL1. Its the single CD XQE000160PMA unit and is in good working order. My 52 plate TD4 SE has the original Land Rover single cassette head unit (and...

Can anyone explain, or point me to a link where I can find a good explanation, of what these are, what they mean and what I should expect to see on my TD4 ? I can read these live values on my diag reader (Foxwell) and even though I have no fault codes coming up, I suspect a problem as the values...

I've tracked down the rumble from the rear of my 2003 TD4 and its the drivers side rear wheel bearing. Has anyone replaced a rear bearing themselves and could pass on any tips/things to avoid or watch out for ? It doesn't sound too difficult from the Haynes manual, but it looks like the long...

The next stage in my TD4 saga (manual, 118k, 2003 52 plate) ! After eventually getting it started after a clutch change, I've been keeping myself amused fixing the window regulators. Now they are all sorted, I started it up again and noticed it smokes. There's a bit of bluey/grey smoke on...

I'm continuing this on from another thread I started about crank sensors as its now another "TD4 won't start" thread ! Basically I replaced the clutch and flywheel on my TD4 (2003 on a 52, manual, 118k miles) which started perfectly before I touched it, and now it will not start. I dropped the...
