Hello all, Does anyone know if there is a technique to fitting the opr? I've had the sump off twice, the metal tube is sliding in and out smoothly, to the extent that it will fall into my hand Spring looks OK Oil pressure is still through the roof, blowing the oil filter seal Any...

Hello all I've just rebuilt and refitted the head on my D2 td5 160k miles Had a light skim, all new valves, it was a burnt valve that caused the rebuild Now on startup, the seal is coming out at the top of the oil filter, It's done it 3 times on 3 filters, initially I thought I might have...

Morning all, My td5 has started to make a thumping noise through the airbox Seems to be in time with firing She's going very well apart from that Anyone any ideas or pointers?

Hi All, My td5 D2 has begun to misbehave on startup When i turn the key, lights etc come on, but doesn't crank. lock car with fob, wait until the flashing red light goes out< unlock, and she cranks and starts fine. I replaced the ignition switch as i though that was something to do...

The rear crankshaft seal has begun to leak on my 2001 D2 td5 auto, I'm considering fitting an Ashcroft heavy duty converter when i have the box out. Have many people done this? is it worthwhile, and, will it help with the revvyness of the standard box? Thanks Gordy

Does anyone no if the oil cooler on a D2 td5 auto can be by-passed? I have a hose on its way out, and it seems that the hoses have been discontinued Would be easy to get a pipe made up to just cross the top of the box from outlet to inlet, but im wondering if that would fry the box in time...

Hi All, The drivers window, and the rear windows have stopped working, passenger is fine, Fuses are intact, and when operating the window switch, I can hear what sounds like a relay clicking from the passenger footwell area. Has anyone any thoughts on what might be wrong? 2001 D2...

Apologies for starting a second thread, but i didnt know how to amend the title of the last one. Anyway, i took on board all the suggestions of members, and the only one i didnt get to do was check fuel pressure at the engine. I had to go down to Dublin to work all week, so threw the towel...

I parked Disco 2 up the other day, going fine. Came out next day and cranked away, but isn't starting, new battery fitted and still the same. My first though was crank sensor, as inj loom, inj seals, are recent, red plug is dry, fuel filter is recent too. Is there any test protocol for...

Hi All 2001 D2 Ace, air etc td5 for a few days, my wipers/stereo/ heated seats / and a few other things didnt become 'live' when starting, but did when switching on. A few starts and stops, and they worked ok None of the above now work at all when running, but do work when switched on...

Hi all, Been getting a bit of smoke on the D2 TD5, sort of grey colour and pretty smelly Took her a run, and the live date on hawkeye says that the wastegate is 0 % Replaced the waste gate modulator beforehand, just seems strange that the reading is zero both stationary and moving. I...

Hi All Three amigos have returned, and hawkeye is giving me a 4114 fault code The kit repair was carried out by an independant around 16 months ago, so im wondering if anyone has a link to the diagnosis process for establishing what is actually wrong. ie electrical or hydraulic etc I...

At long last i have found the vibration that has been plaguing my D2 at tick-over. A hearty vote of thanks to the folks at BLRC in Saintfield for getting it. Turns out, it was the replacement engine mounts, mine were pattern ones, they were too hard, and transmitting the aforesaid...

Hi All, I have to replace a couple of core plugs in a TD5 engine, Thing is, the last time I fitted core plugs was in a Chevette, in about 1986! I cant remember what sealant to use, either red hermetite, green hermetite, or blue hylomar. Can someone refresh my memory please Thanks...

Ive had an on-going vibration at tickover on the Disco2 On the advice on Big lad and others, ive cleaned the MAP sensor, it was covered in a tarry mess, It seems a wee bit better, not right, but better, although it seems the inlet manifold is covered in the same muck. Is it worth...

H All, My D2 is running rough at tickover, lot of vibrations running through the car If i raise the revs a wee bit, it all smooths out. Im wondering if its a dodgy injector, or the copper sealing washers. In my world it always the pricey things though! Red plug is ok, and i replaced the...

Hello all, Can anyone tell me if Adwest make genuine steering boxes for Disco 2's? I've had a supposedly new genuine one fitted by a main dealer, yet its clearly plated 'Adwest' Can some of our resident experts confirm please? Thanks

I replaced the steering box on my disco 2 today, all went well untill bleeding it First off i was surprised to find an adwest box on the car, as its only done 135k, so i assume its already a replacement Anyway, i picked up a brand new old stock unit from a dealer, fitted it, and bled it...
