Hi, I've lost the keys somehow and need to get a replacement cut however the brand isn't written on the bars

Hi guys, I have a 2002 TD5 ES (auto). Last year I had my XYZ switch replaced as the M & S lights kept flashing and slowly but surely the gearbox started to play up. Changed the switch and problem solved, thing is a couple of days ago I noticed that the lights have come back on but...

Hi all, there's a problem with my tailgate not unlocking when I press the key fob, okay I can unlock it manualy by jumping over the rear seats and the exterior handle works normally as long as I don't lock it. It works fine to lock via the fob. I gather from the forums that a little spring in...

Hi all, this light seems to come on when we're on long'ish trips, (The car is a Disco TD5 auto, 2002). More importantly how do I fix it? Any ideas? Ta Al

Can you believe it....just crossed the ferry into Dublin (from Hertfordshire)and onwards to Galway and a high pitched noise starts up. This is followed by a funny smell, could be plastic could be ATF oil? anyway I pull over to the hard shoulder whereby I check the engine. Nope I can't see a...

Hi guys, unfortunately my Disco TD5 (2002) was vandalised over the weekend. Scratched with a key over 4 panels clear as day as it's Java black :-(. Worse still they tried to nick my diesel, when (and only) the engine is running it's peeing out from above, The tank looks okay, same with the fuel...

Hi guys, just changed the seals in my master cylinder (Disco TD1, 300 series, manual) and in the kit came a little white "tab" which I don't know if I need? When I took out the spring originaly there was no tab/white button (see pic) it just looped on to the end of the rod. With the replacement...

Hi guys, had a problem with some leaky clutch fluid on my 300 TDI Disco. Replacing the seals in my slave cylinder and the manual asks me to "remove the circlip" can't see one on here, should there really be one? Cheers Al

Yup, a right old girls bag it is, don't get me wrong it works but the sound is a sort of squeeky, surpressed sound. The "Haynes" bible has gone walkies so I'm trying to guess what the problem might be. Are there two horns or just the one? Do they often go wrong? Anything else? Ta' Al

I seem to have a clutch fluid leak and I'm trying to source the problem. So far I've taken out the slave cylinder + pipework to the Master Cylinder but I can't seem to get the above mentioned out? Bolts are off and it's hanging down by a tube in the engine bay, I've taken off the facia by the...

Yup, "M & S" lights flashing up every second drive, same with the "D". How much should I expect to pay an indie Land Rover garage to replace the XYZ switch including parts and labour? The alternative is to do it myself so a) how much is the switch itself and the best place to buy it? b) Do I...

Hi all, firstly happy New Year to you all! Right then, yesterday I spent the whole day 1) changing the alternator on my (2002) TD5 auto and replacing the O rings in the fuel cooler. What a bloody job that was, nearly had to take out half the car to remove and fit the spare (and yes it has been...

Not bloody easy is it! I can hardly see it let alone remove it, so far I've removed the Viscous fan, belt, tensioner, one of the vacuum hoses, a plug on the side and partly one on the securing screws (a pipe seems to block it from completely coming out?). I can't reach the multiplug, and I can't...

Hi guys, I need to buy a couple of replacement O rings for my leaky fuel filter on my TD5, problem is I'm not sure what size they are and I want to get hold of them before the Xmas break. Cheers AL!

A short drive home along a country road and nearly every warning light came on, "TS", "ABS", "SRS", The rear up light, battery light "M & S" and probably more, gear light started flashing (auto), wouldn't change out of "D" it just flashed. Hazzard lights wouldn't come on and then after 5 minutes...

I'm another one who's been having problems with losing coolant, I keep filling her up (her being a 2002 TD5 ES auto). Heater not working correctly either very sporadic bursts of heat coming out or cold gusts, but tonight when filling up the coolant tank I heard a sort of dribbling/burping from...

Err, where is it on a TD5? The nozzels on the bonnet I see fine but I can't see where the screen wash is supposed to come out for the rear??? Maybe the wiper, it's not obvious though? Any ideas? Ta Al

Hi guys, just had the air springs replaced on my TD5 (2002) only have something else happen two days later. My wife had complained that there was no hot air coming from the heater just cold air pumping out, the next day I tried it and for the most part she was right although there was the odd...

My wife just e mailed my a picture of our TD5 half an hour ago. It hasn't been used since yesterday when I didn't notice a thing. She says the tyres are inflated but it shouldn't be as low as it is, looks like the rear suspension has gone, any other thoughts?

Hi all, I'm after a new set of these (?) for my 202 TD5, It's the plastic bit in the floor what the rear two seats click into when in use. Mine, as you can see are knackered but I've no idea what they're called or part number. Any ideas?
