Hi all, I've recently bought a D3 TDV6 HSE auto, it's done 155k miles on a 54 plate but in excellent condition. I now have one niggle however and that's the shudder under acceleration, I have changed the gearbox filter and drained 4.5 litres of oil, when I refilled I got just under 6 litres back...

Hi, broken manifold studs are common, usually at the back, (no5 cylinder), not too bad to do, before going down the drilling out route, build up the broken stud with weld and then weld a nut onto the lump. Let it cool off slightly and then try and undo it. 9 times out of 10 this will work. Hope...

Hi, thankyou for that, i do have RAVE now, downloaded it yesterday, as soon as i get time i will check the output at terminal 3 and have found that the input on the ACE ecu is terminal 5, will let you know how i get on. Thanks again.

Hi, this is aimed at Sierrafery, have had glovebox out and found 3 boxes/ecus, not sure which one is SLABS ecu, big alloy one, and 2 alongside it on left hand side. Can't find a plug with 18 connectors, have had them all off all 3 boxes and checked for corrosion, nothing found at all. Of course...

Hi, yeah i know it comes as a complete hub, have fitted a couple to customers vehicles, cheapest i can get is £160 which i'm quite pleased with. Why do you say to use the old sensor? As far as getting your remap done, Alive Tuning will do it by post, as long as you can manage without your...

Done a few heater matrixes on Disco 300s, complete dash out is the only way i know as to change the matrix itself you have to split the heater box in half. Last couple i did Landrover were supplying it as a complete heater box assy but if you're using an aftermarket matrix you'll have to split...

Thankyou very much Sierrafery, thats the best info i've been given, water ingress is quite likely as the front sunroof does leak from time to time, will check this out as soon as possible, also thanks for the explanation on how it works and how the faults are likely connected. I have found today...

Hi everyone, don't know if anyone can help me with this one, my '99 Discovery TD5, for the last 6 months or so every now and then the yellow ACE light comes on and the speedo drops to zero, a few seconds later and the speedo goes back up but the ACE light stays on until the ignition is switched...

No, should i have? that was my only downside, appt was at 10, drove over 200 miles and got there at 10.07 and then had to wait over an hour! Worth it in the end tho!

Hi, just a quick note to all you other Td5 owners out there thinking tuning box or remap? Trust me, after trying 2 different boxes i've just had my '99 Disco TD5 remapped by Alive Tuning in Grimsby and it is now the way Land Rover should have sold it! Torque is completely different, it'll now...

Hi, was talking to a friend of my wifes last night about her TD5 which she drove to destruction with a horse trailer behind after a hose split, lost all its coolant and she cooked it big time, i have'nt seen it myself but our local independent Land Rover specialist says its f**ked. Money isnt...

big oil loss and smoke, sounds like turbo failure, was the head gasket definitely gone? had a fiesta rs turbo once with a cracked exhaust housing on the turbo, fine when cold but couldnt see for smoke once it was warm as the crack opened up and leaked oil straight into the exhaust, smoke was...

Mmm, have just found this thread, have posted my own last night about the same fault! Really don't think it will be your MAF, i put a brand new genuine Landrover one on mine and it made no difference. Interesting about the MAP sensor though, will try that on mine tomorrow. Also the coolant loss...

Thanks for the replies, no, this is a true missfire and if it was glow plug related it'd surely run rough at idle aswell, its had 2 different chips because the first one did'nt really alter things much, it was a DPT box that piggybacked into the fuel temp switch, the second one which is still...

Hi, don't know if anyone can help me, i've had my '99 Td5 for about 18 months now, its aways done this but seems worse lately, when its stationary and you take the revs up slowly, at about 1200rpm it starts to missfire, all the way up to 2000 rpm and then its sweet as a nut. 1800 is its worst...

Thankyou for confirming that Squizzel.

Hi, can someone confirm for me please whether Range Rover L322 wheels or Disco 3 wheels will fit my Discovery 2 TD5 please? I know that P38 wheels will fit but not sure if the later stuff does. Ideally if anyone knows to some i'm after a set of 18" Hurricanes on good/useable tyres or the Pro...

My '99 TD5 GS 5 seat is for sale if you're interested! Only 108,000 miles and i'm the second owner! Less than half the money of that '03 aswell!

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows the most common cause of Disco 3 handbrake problems? My mate has a 2008 and has thought shes a bit down on power this week and then tonight the offside rear parkbrake jammed on. The electronic motor was continuously running even in the released position, after...

as long as it hasnt been tweaked on the pump give it a good hiding up the road, and i mean hold it on the governer 1st 2nd and 3rd gear for about 10 seconds each, sound harsh but it'll clear her out, should be able to see it getting cleaner in the mirrors. And yes it has got an exhaust filter at...
