Hello, An update. Today I went out in the daylight to take a closer look, but the door button popped up with ease. The door unlocked now opens and closes as usual. Can't believe it was that frozen for over a week. Well, that should be the last of the cold weather, but come next winter I...

Thanks for the reply, Both the outside handle and the inside one seem to work as normal, it's just that the latch is locked. The door button is in a weird position between locked and unlocked. It only moves ever so much under force, but enough trigger the other doors to lock and unlock. I...

Hello, hope you are all doing well '99 2.5dse, automatic The driver's door is locked in a semi-open position. Does not open from inside or the outside, the lock actuator doesn't really move inside or from the key, it's just stuck locked. Interestingly though, the central locking works from the...

We tried to make one as shown by some person on YT, but found it to be too much hassle and you can simply get a rough measurement of the alignment with a caliper, one measurement on the upper and one on the lower side of the axle. Identical measurements and it's likely that it's okay.

I don't think it showed anything else. That's odd, mine acts the same with the sensor connected or disconnected. Is your EGR blanked?

I double checked in the rave, it's simply the EGR throttle position sensor.

That's what I thought as well, and I've been told the little thing is only for the EGR. Mine is disconnected and runs fine. Throttle is via cable.

Have you tried having the car in gear with the transfer box in neutral? Any noise, and if so, in all gears? You said the gearbox and transfer case were rebuilt relatively recently. This is a bit of not so useful information, but I vaguely remember Mike of BritannicaRestorations, in one of his...

Thanks, I think I'll do both regardless. I've been looking on the web for leak off pipes and although I seem to remember seeing silicone ones somewhere at some point, they are nowhere to be found. Does somebody know about this or is it a fabricated memory? If you will excuse my ignorance, as...

Thanks for the reply, If I remember correctly, it's a Castrol "GTX", I think the main selling line was that it keeps your engine clean - although I imagined this would mean cleaning all the built up gunk and inevitably getting dirty.

Hi, Sorry of no help, but that's a good looking 200Tdi miktdish is correct in that HD clutches bring out issues in the drivetrain. LOF themselves advise against fitting a HD clutch if your drivetrain (especially the gearbox) isn't in tip top shape. By "clutch engaged" do you mean clutch pedal...

It's been about 200 miles since I changed the engine oil and it still shows golden on the dipstick. Is it doing its job? I've changed oils on many engines and I've never seen this before. I have to say that during the change, I did take the sump off to reseal it and washed it as well, but...

Hi, I've been trying to find the cause of my poor starting for a long while. I didn't even know the Discovery has a sedimenter. I just checked and it's still there. I have now narrowed down the issue to it either air being sucked in at the leak off pipes, or at the sedimenter. My question is...

Yes, that's the same place on mine. I'll see how I can botch it and if it helps.

I unscrewed and tightened the filter back. Problem is still there. It makes sense since I bought the car with this problem and I changed the filter at some point after, but the issue never disappeared. I also changed the copper washers on the supply pipe from the filter housing to the IP...

That was my first thought when I got the car, I replaced the lift pump with a Delphi one, again following Mike's advice regarding the spacing between pump and engine block. I noticed the old one was working perfectly though, so I kept it. I don't know if it does its job when fitted, as with...

Oh, another thing: When it's cold outside (-10 to -20), and I have to put quite a bit of work with the engine (with the oils in the drivetrain being butter most likely), the engine tends to want to die if it's not quite at operating temp. I thought this was the ip leak, but it must be the...

Good morning, My leak was the main seal in the rear of the pump, the big o-ring. I was scared to do it, but it started pouring recently, and my car was leaving a trail at work and at home, so I had to try and do it following Mike's tutorial (from Canada). I managed to do it easily in situ. I...

Hello, I recently fixed a leak on my Bosch VE injection pump, but I think I still have a leak that leads to my engine starting poorly. When I turn the engine off, under the bonnet, somewhere in the injection pump/lift pump/injectors area I can hear air sucking in, followed by gulping in the...

Have you had them fitted on your old but good pinion and crown wheel or got new ones or got the HD ones that Ashcrofts sell for ~200 quid?
