I hear you , I do like the tdv8 not sure if my budget will stretch to one, diesel ws what am after. I gave seen a td6 advertised, good mot and service history although not fault free. The seller said that when first driven the car goes into limp mode for about 100yds ten clears itself. They...

Thanks for all of the replies, I have had a tentative look at various adds some cheap some not. Lots seem to be for sale with seemingly small problems and not quite sure if they were small jobswhy people don't just do them.

Looking to buy a td6 once i have sold my disco and looking at the adverts lots of them on the mot history have an advisory on rust. Is it generally surface or more sinister I know these heel arches are a weak spot but a lot of it seems to be round the seat belt mountings. Cheers

Ahh ok. I have been trying that via the calibration on the nanocom nut it won’t go up any further than it is at the moment guess it’s time to look at a new compressor !

Thanks &or the reply it is set to air in slabs also. I was wondering that. How do you mean Callicrates it ? Thanks

Yes the compressor will run when I do it via nanocom but not raising, also you can har I it for about 10 minutes or so (when switched off ) I guess trying to sort it self. I have checked the bcu seem ok to me. Hope you don’t mind I’ve included some screen shots..

Hi, I have a 2003 td5 auto Thought I would covert my car back to air, easy I thought. well you as you know nothing is. I have put new air bags on new sensors and rebuilt the compressor. when I start the car up the pump doesn’t come on, although if I go into nanocom I did inflate the bags a bit...

Thanks turns out you were on the money... Well after a lot of time and effort I went back to https://www.discovery2parts.com/. And I can't thank the guys enough. It was the alternator (which was new prior to my ownership) that was at fault, as soon as it was unplugged the car drove perfectly...

No the mil light doesn't come on. I have cleaned up some more earth's. I do think it is a voltage issue. I have purchased a plug in voltmeter to check the voltage when driving but at the moment I am having trouble adjusting the xyz switch just can't seem to get it correct. Late now will have...

The charging system appears to be working on. I think it's the fact the car has not been used for 3 weeks. Also just noticed today the plug for the air con compressor was not plugged in and the shroud has disappeared from the top of the rad for the fan. I did pay him for his Time rightly or...

Yep you are Correct he definitely lost interest. Got the car back today absolutely covered in muck and dust/ dirt, not overalls happy as it went in nice and clean. As soon as I drove off the flashing green light emerged and I know he took the switch and obviously hasn’t aligned it properly, yes...

Thanks for the reply. I did wonder whether the alternator was playing about under load. I am going to get the car Monday and see if my local garage ( should have gone there first ) can fit me in. Another week has gone by and he hasn't touched the car. Will post up the ( hopefully ) positive...

Thanks for the welcome and comments.

Thanks for the replies and image for the earth's. Spoke to the garage today and he thinks it's the gearbox ? So will be getting the car back from him next week. I don't believe it's the box it certainty hasn't shown up on nanocom when tested. Also spoke to Ashcroft and he'd never heard of this...

Yeah, I was thinking along those lines. I have cleaned and checked the ones around the battery and air cleaner so far.

Hi Sorry for posting another xyz switch tale. I have a facelift Td5 auto I purchased the car with the m and s lights flashing. I changed the switch and the wiring harness. The car drives fine until you either use the air con or headlights and the car will go into limp mode, turn the car off...

Hi Thanks for the add Fairly new to me metropolis Pleased with it obviously it has some issues which I shall post in the correct section.
