Hi all, I have just had the 7 year cam belt change and discovered that the oil casing was badly cracked and near to failure. This would have destroyed the engine methinks! Might be a good idea to fit the new design casing if you have an affected vehicle. some pics are here.... DISCO3.CO.UK...

I bit the bullet and bought a Disco3 so my old TD5 with its nice new engine is for sale... see autotrader.......... Land Rover Discovery 2.5 Td5 Landmark 7 seat 5dr ps new D3 is much too smooth and quiet and a bit tinny to be honest! no doubt it will break down soon!

Hi all, my Disco 2, TD5 will not start. I have noticed that when the ignition key is turned to "start" there is a slight (1 second) delay before the starter motor starts to turn. It has been this way for some time and I assumed this was normal. It started fine after the "delay" until today...

Hi, I am told that worn engine mounts may cause the engine to sound harsh at motorway speeds... has anyone any experience of this? In particular has anyone changed the mounts and can offer any advice about how to do it? John

Just got this from the guy who makes the nanocoms....... Hi, My time prevision was too optimist, the new nanocom will be ready for the third week of april. For that date there will be the online shop to buy it directly to me. ......wonder how much?

Hi all... I need to recode some new injectors and turn off the auto locking on a Disco 2 (2004). If you have a nanocom and are prepared to do the job I can drive to you and happily pay for the service! The local garage has problems with theire setup so I am a bit stuck .. Thanks John

Hi all, I have recently had a new engine fitted but the old injectors were put back. I suspect that they may not have been fitted properly in terms of the setting of the adjuster screw. Apparently each cylinder is adjusted with he cam at the top and the adjuster screw is backed off half a...

Hi all, Discovery ll, 2004 TD5 (116,000 miles) - I am trying to sort out a "clattery" engine and I have made some progress but need some advice regarding replacement of the injectors. The engine is new (only 600 miles so far) but it has a bad diesel clatter which has been greatly improved by...

I am the not so proud owner of a 2004 Discovery TD5 with a brand new engine (500 miles so far!). It is VERY noisy when cold - the usual diesel clatter just very loud. The car is slow to warm and there is a distinct diesel clatter (seems to be from one cylinder mainly although hard to tell)...
