Hello fellow LZders. A new development in my Disco 2 TD5 journey. About a month ago, a routine drive had an interesting turn. A fan (at least that's what I think it is) cut in whilst I was tooling about. I thought it was just the viscous fan cutting in as things got a bit warm. It had never...

Picked up a bargain Front Runner slimline 1/2 rack last week, which I assembled and fitted today, as well as replacing the captive nut for the acoustic engine cover. This thing is really solid and quite light - one person could actually fit it, though I borrowed my son to help get rack on...

Just picked up a brand new Front Runner Slimline 1/2 rack for £380 off list price. Feel very smug :cool:. There are some amazing deals to be had out there, if you are prepared to spend a bit of time looking.

So, having been away for a week, I decided today was the day to tackle the EGR valve. What and Alan B'Stard! Getting the fan cowl off, easy. Undoing the retaining bolts for the engine cover on the nearside, easy. The offside was fookin messy. The captive bolt has come lose at some point, so...

First, thanks to the great support from the forum on sorting out the rear window wiper motor, it's incredibly valuable advice and insight that makes these jobs a lot less daunting. I pulled apart the rear door to work out if the motor was seized or if it was a power problem and discovered that...

Hey peeps. The winder in my sunroof needs an extra 1/4 turn past the lock to close it properly, otherwise the thing bounces around and leaks water. I've looked at the leaking sunroof thread in the archive and it seems to involve stripping out the head lining. Mine doesn't leak when closed. Is...

I am considering a MAP clean. But, I'll wait until I do the EGR. Because, if it's a mess in there, I don't want to knock lumps of crud into the intake ports. However, if it is really caked up in there, I'm concerned that removing the manifold will lead to crud falling to the intake ports...

No, it's not really major news. But, I removed and cleaned the MAF on my 166k, 2001 TD5 today after testing with the MAF disconnected and although it didn't look dirty it has made one hell of a difference. Has to be on of the simplest maintenance tasks ever and you get instant gratification...

Does anyone have a paint-by-numbers guide for how to service / overhaul the rear window wiper motor? I stripped the door back and pulled the motor to check power and it's got a permanent 12v (reads about 14v) and a switched live that cuts in briefly when the relay connects on the intermittent...

I've been reading about these 'ere Mass Airflow Sensors and how they can deteriorate over time, get covered in crud from the EGR system etc, etc. So, I was curious about whether my truck's sensor was in need of attention, or not. Not terribly keen on taking the thing to bits to find out it...

Another little project complete...cosmetic for sure. But, satisfying all the same. My 2001 TD5 Auto gaiters were looking pretty shabby - the handbrake one was basically just cloth, with all the pleather flaked off. A quick Ebay order from TopGaiters saw two new proper leather ones in the post...

Hi everyone. I thought I would take a moment to give back as I've received some sage advice recently on dealing with a TC issue. This is aimed at complete amateurs (of which I am certainly one) that don't really have any experience of spannering, so don't judge this too harshly, please. I...

Hello folks. I'm looking for some guidance to help narrow down a problem with my 2001 TD5 Disco traction control. Only had it a week and I've no real experience of Disco TC. But, had plenty of other trucks and cars with TC. I'm no mechanic, but I think this is within my limits. Scenario 1...

Hello Landyzoners! So, after nearly 30 years (yep that's right) of coveting Land Rovers, I finally took the plung and scooped my 1st Landy this week! I've had 'other' 4x4's and they've been the main family truck, so I've never taken it off-road, unless it's to park it! I'm about as...
