Hi guys, after buying one of the icarsoft readers Its telling me I have an EGR problem. It's doesn't say which one so it looks like I would have to change both. What is everyone thought on blanking them off or would I be better putting new ones in? If I did blank them off, do I need to do...

Hi guys, thanks for reply’s. I worded my post wrong, when I said I replaced the lock I should have said the lock and actuator. Both second hand units that I put on worked for a day then started to play up until complete fail. Maybe I have been unlucky and bought 2 second hand units that were on...

Hi guys, I have read lots of posts about changing locks and switches for a problematic tail gate. My tail gate wouldn’t open but with the aid of a second person holding the two buttons in on the dash, I can always get in. I replaced the door handle with the micro switch but nothing changed. I...

Yeah, I’m thinking it’s a ****y water pump. Done another CO2 test this afternoon and it’s still showing clear. Something I did notice today was, when driving and a good few revs on the engine the heater was blowing warm but not hot air but as soon as you came off the gas going down hill or...

CO2 test didn’t show anything so I hope that cancels out head gasket, cracked head or bore, plus the head was pressure tested and new head gasket fitted. Also changed to steel dowels when I done the head gasket. My train of thought, if a lot of the rad is blocked and water isn’t circulating...

Ps, I am bleeding the water system by holding header tank as high as possible and filling with the bung out of the top hose while the engine is running

hi guys, the cooling system on my disco td5 creates to much pressure and the top hose goes hard and I am loosing water through the overflow pie and the cap on the header tank. I have replaced the thermostat, header tank cap, water pump. I also had the cylinder head off, got it pressure tested...

After driving 30 miles I would imagine the engine temp to be at its max. I don’t do short runs where the engine might not be up to full working temperature.

Water temp gauge sits in the middle but only the slightest bit of warmth being blow out through the heater

hi guys, my disco td5 is only blowing like warm air. Coolant is up to the mark, engine temp reading ok and thermostat seems to be working fine. Tried bleeding the water coolant system yesterday but heater still not blowing hot air. I did notice there is very little or no pressure on the top rad...

Sorry for being a dick but what are 7j and 8j rims?

Yes, torque converter. How can you check if wheel speed sensors are working correctly? This is driving me bloody mad. The gearbox works really well apart from going into torque lock and I'm using a load of extra fuel and the engine is revving higher than it needs to

Do the wheel speed sensors control the gear change and throttle lock?a road I use often has two thin ruts going from one side of the road to the other. Maybe it's because I put a stiffer lifted suspension kit on the disco but whe I go over the ruts it really does cause a good thud through the...

Will get a couple of new tyres on the back. Price of tyres sounds much better than price of gearbox

235/70 16 on front and for some reason 225/65 16 on the rear

hi guys, I have a 1999 discovery td5. The fault I have with the vehicle is, the TC won't lock up when you get up to speed. Sometimes it will take the notion but most of the time it doesn't. Might sound silly but it seems to stand a better chance of working in wet weather. i have read all sorts...

Can't see anything wrong with wiring, so here goes another silly question. Just put a volt meter across the battery and get a reading 12.2v before I start the engine. With the engine running, lights, heater on I am getting 13.6v. Could my problem be lack of power as some people are getting over...

Is it the wiring loom to the xyz switch I need to check or another one???

ok guys put a few posts up about my discovery 2 auto box but still no closer to finding an answer. Gearbox is working fine going up and down the gears but it doesn't go into throttle lock. It's had new oil and filters, I've done stall test etc etc. I have noticed it goes into throttle lock...

Just done the stall test. Engine was running at 2800rpm but never stalled. Does this mean clutch is slipping, would it also e the reason why it won't go into throttle lockand if so what sort of money is it to get fixed? Think I will go sit in a corner and cry
