Morning all, I have a new to me 2004 Discovery TD5 manual, It's had a stage 1 remap and had the cat and EGR valve removed. My question/issue is when under any any acceleration it kicks out loads of black smoke and under heavy acceleration i you cant see behind as there's so much. No lack of...

Morning all, I'm not sure if I've made a mistake but I've gone and bought another discovery 2 TD5 after going from driving a Discover 2 with a rotten rear chassis and having to scrap it to driving a Ford Fusion (granny car) for a year. This one is a Landmark edition and am so pleased as it's...

Just had the MOT center in touch with me. Sad day as i have to let my d2 td5 2004 go to landrover heaven as the rear chassis is beyond repair. The guy who welded it last year said hed have it for £450 but doesnt realy want it as he already has 3 in his field, goin to take the £450 i think...

Hi all, Hope you are all well! As we are having an actual Summer this year i find that just having the windows down is no longer enough to stop the moans from the passengers in the car. My aircon hasn't worked since i got the car so my question is....... What are the most common causes of...

Hi Just a quick one, Would you say that there is much life left in a discovery td5 2004 with 209000 on the clock? Starts first turn and no rattles or clunks and the rear chassis needs minimal welding. Thanks Andy

Hi guys, My disco 2004 Td5 has a tapping noise! It's quiet on tick over but when i rev it it makes a tapping noise increasing with the revs, (not ticking) It seems accelerator related so when accelerating it does it, although if i lift the accelerator even at speed it stops as the revs fall...

Hi all a quick pic of my Disco. It's in need of a bit of tlc before I add some shiny new bits but the journey has started! Oil changes to do (gearbox, transfer box, engine, and both axels) then welding of the rear chassis, top of the rear arches and top of the front arches where they meet the...

Morning all, Does it matter what oil quality goes in a Td5 engine? What i mean is, is it ok to put Asda or Wilkinsons fully synthetic oil in or is it better to put Castrol or Mobil in? And what's the difference? Thanks in advance guys Andy

Morning all, Had my Disco Td5 for 6 days now and am starting to hear things :eek: The most prominent is a slight ticking noise that seems to be coming from the gearbox or engine, sounds like tappets on an old ford engine or a worn thrust bearing that's starting to fail. Not sure if this is how...
