Hi again everyone, I've not been on for a while as I've not had my car for nearly a year but that's another sad story! This post; following a noise coming from the input shaft to the gearbox I had it rebuilt by Ashctoft and refitted. Now on getting the car back I find that in trying to engage...

Hi there every one, Please could one of you with "Rave" look up the time allowed to exchange the flywheel on a TD5 Discovery? I've changed my computer recently and have not yet been able to read my copy. Garage who have done the job of replacing the gearbox and while at it replaced the...

Hi All, I have a problem that so far has me beat, not much hair left to tear out! The rear passenger, nearside door is jammed shut. I've managed to remove the door card, in itself a tricky job. I removed the speaker surroundand then the speaker which allowed me to get a good grip on the door...

Hi all, Not posted in a while, my apologies if this has been covered before. First question: why are the three warning lights called "the three Amigos"? Second and more complex question: I have the lights on and have run the "Lynx" diagnostic. Fault codes showing: 4114 shuttle valve switch...

Me looking for help, advice again please. Reading back on previous posts I'm assuming that you chaps call the three amigos the "abs light" , the "traction control" and the "hill decent" lights. I also have on the brake warning light. These lights came on after my rear nearside wheel came loose...

Me again, As you'll be aware I've swapped engins between a 03 and an 04 all so far has gone well but I have now come across a problem : the fuel coolers and are different! I did want to fit the one from the 03 large round one but found that the fuel return pipe is too short on the 04s chassis...

Good morning all, I've decided now that while the engines out on my exchange job that I might as well change over the gearboxs as well. So the question is this: does anyone know what the weight of the R380 gearbox and transfer box is? I'm considering buying the Sealey 150kg floor transmission...

Good morning all, nice and sunny here in south Wales. Question: I've desided to exchange the gearboxes between my two Discovery 2s, can anyone tell me how much they weigh? Any thoughts on my getting and using a Sealey floor transmission jack such as ebay number 381745838879. Any input would be...

Me yet again! As you'll know I'm swopping engines between my two Discoverys. Now on removing the clutch cover, seemed a good idea to replace the clutch while the engine's out, I find that there is play between the two parts of the flywheel. A little in rotation and about an 1/8 inch in and out...

Hi all, As you may know following my earlier postings I'm swapping engines between my two Discovery's. Todays questions are based on the ecu. I'm swapping the ECUs keeping the relevant one belonging to each engine ( so that I don't have to recode for the injectors avoiding disturbing the rocker...

As you'll see from my earlier post I'm lifting the TD5 engine from my Discovery. Now does anyone know if I need to remove the starter motor? According to Mr Hayes it does have to be done on an automatic, to gain access to the drive plate bolts but do I need to do it on my manual? Looks like a...

Hi again everyone, As you may have seen from my earlier posting I've decided to swop engins between my two Discovery TD5s. I've read how to do it according to Mr Haynes and I've searched RAV but neither tell me how to remove the eight bolts between bell housing and block! Mr Haynes reminds me...

Hi there, me yet again, A new suggestion has been made about my very noisy head, noise like badly out of ajustment conventional tappets. That the hydraulic tappets (called lash adjustors by land rover) are either worn, have been incorrectly fitted following a head gasket replacement or are not...

Hi all, Sorry to raise an old very over worked subject! As you'll know from my previous posts I have a very sick 2004 td5 with I'm presuming a 15p cylinder head. Now I'm being offered a 10p head complete with camshaft and rocker shaft (head is new and complete except for injectors) . From...

Hi all me again, I have two Discovery TD5s one 03 the other 04. The 03 has a very badly rusted chassis but a good engine the 04 is the other way round. I'm considering swapping the engines over. My question is this: is it possible to lift the engine out complete with the gearbox? I feel that it...

Hi all, My 2003, severn seat, TD5 has terminal chassis rust! I'm contemplating having a galvanised chassis fitted. I have the "know how" but not the facilities, would have enjoyed the project. Does anyone have experance of this job? Can anyone recommend a cpmpany, to do the job? Can anyone...

I'd be very interested in other people's ideas on my quandary. I have 2 Discovery Td5 s a 2003 and a 2004. Now the 2003 has very terminal chassis rust but a better engine than the 2004. So what I'd like to open for discussion: do I replace the chassis at it seems a cost of about £3, 000, or...

Can anyone shed light on my problem please. The gear lever on my 2004 td5 manual is fine when I "waggle" it side to side before starting and changing gear on the move but after a hour or so on the motorway it's very stiff. It comes out of fifth gear no problem but is very tight across neutral...

Yes I've been rash! Bought the Lynx Diagnostics unit, what a nonsense to get the unlocking code! Question:does any body know when and where I enter this? I've loaded the program on to my laptop, no problem but it will not allow me to go any further than the help pages which don't cover this at...
