Gents, thanks for the advice replacing the seals would seem to be a huge saving! To be honest I'm better at driving them than fixing them but I'll print off your link Dave and ask my local garage if they'd have a go for me. If they can't if anyone has a link for a £250 ish replacement it'd be...

Hi all A bit of a cry for help here. I've just got my 2000 V-reg TD5 back from the local garage where it went for a coolant leak. they say it needs a new fuel cooler (the cylinder type) as that's the source of the leak. I've been trawling the net Rimmer Bros, Paddocks etc etc for the last...

Hi Bob I've just been told that I have a similar problem with mine except that my cooler is leaking coolant? Couldl I ask where you managed to get a fuel cooler from and how much they are as I'm struggling to find one apart from Rimmer Bros who want £700+ for one???? Sorry I can't help...

Hi all. First off I'm not exactly mechanically minded and was hoping for some advice please. My TD5 squeals on start up which I presume is something to do with the alternator as it sounds like the aux belt slipping. The odd thing is it's ok in warm weather and stops after 10/15 min or if you...

Hi sorry I dropped off the radar for a couple of days, thanks for that it doesn't sound too bad then, I'll have to get it in to my local specialist and get a quote, thanks again Rich

I'm about to try the same, how did you get the old ones off andare the replacements easy to fit? Needless to say I'm a bit of a novice at this sort of stuff???? Cheers!

Hi all, I'm after some help / advice please. I've got a 2000 TD5 with an auto box. Most of the time it is fine with smooth gear changes both up and down the range. Every now and then and it's only occasionally it seems to thump and snatch at a gear change, there is a loud thumping noise and the...

Hi All, now that we've finally done it and bought our first Discovery I thought I'd share my first impressions. We've just bought the wife a 2000 TD5, seven seats with 111k. We got this to replace her 2002 7 seater 1.7 Honda Stream with 39k on the clock (Don't even go there). She fancied a Disco...

Hi all. I've just got a 2000 (V-reg) TD5 XS. I'm a bit new to discoveries so please bare with me. I may be niave here but would it be possible to replace the twin dial (cold to hot) air con control unit on the dash board with a replacement digital climate control out of a TD5 of the same year...

Ming I regularly drive a 57 plate TDV6 at work which has currently got over 105k on the clock. I've just been out to the garage and at the moment it's quoting 29.4 on average fuel consumption. Ours has got the six speed auto box and is incrediably smooth and surprisingly agile (we run these...

Thanks for your input I appreciate your time. Thanks Battenburg (I'll be checking for rust then) and Jobo. I'll be spending some more time looking through the forums and will let you know when and what we end up going for. Thanks again

hi all, I know there's a lot of knowledge out there so I thought I'd try and tap in to it before I spend my hard earned pennies (that's the creeping bit done). Seriously we're about to buy our first discovery. Our budget is only around 4k and we want a Disco 2 for the forward facing seven seats...

Thought I'd best say hello as I've just joined. Haven't got a landrover right now But I'm on the hunt for a Discovery series II, (probably 3.9 with an LPG conversion). I am luck enough to drive a Discovery TDV6 at work (along with other lesser 4 x 4's including Shoguns and Landcruisers. I have...
