    Discovery TD5 lacks guts at around 15 to 18 100rmp....Need help!!!

    Well just to back up what a lot of has been said on here my LR dealer failed to spot anything wrong and the car has been bad for about 6 months, so much so that it has just spent two weeks at LR with their technical boffins. OH what a surprise when they say extensive tests have shown nothing...

    TD5 Engine Died at 70mph

    Yes it is one of those quick release pipes so I can check my manual tonight and identify correct pipe (there are two) pulling fuel from the tank. When I release it from the fuel filter unit in the rear wheel arch and with ignition "on" it should not spurt fuel all over me, confirming the...

    TD5 Engine Died at 70mph

    Cool, will do but what do you mean by "whip the fuel pick out and have a look see". Pick means what? pump or pipe?

    TD5 Engine Died at 70mph

    I am getting very angry now and scared too. Prevous posts tell of the expensive repairs including fuel filter, pump, fuel filter housing and now they are looking at replacing fuel pipes. All because of starting problems and air in the system. Got the car back and better 'ish (still not...

    What does the MAF Sensor do?

    Laugh, try telling Landrover that. They replaced the fuel pump prior to the MAF. So now they think it is air in the system. I spent all day going through the workshop manual and from what I can gather key potential hotspots, not in this order, seem to be; AAP - Ambient Air Pressure sensor...

    300 tdi es rear view mirror has died

    It seems strange that the "mirror" has died. It works similar to photochromic glasses with a little electics thrown in. Check the fuses etc. The following is from the LR Workshop Manual which may help you determine if it really isn't working; Automatic dimming The mirror’s automatic...

    bad starter ???

    Let me know if that solves it - I am having the same issues on my 2001 TD5 and it has cost a bomb so far and I am coming to the conclusion that it is air in the system. No fuel leakage signs so must be hairline crack somewhere. But where from? - that seems to be the million dollar question.

    What does the MAF Sensor do?

    How perfect is that!!!! Thanks a bunch. I suspect the garage replaced mine unecessarily in trying to sort out why it will not start without excessive cranking. They are a LR dealership and have had the car 3 weeks now!!! Worst is they have confirmed they now think it is what I said it...

    What does the MAF Sensor do?

    ...and no clever dick one line answers like "senses the air flow"! That much is obvious but what does it sense, the temperature, humidity, volume, pressure? and what does it then do/control with regard to the engine running? A sick TD5 owner (rapidly becoming bankrupt) is very curious...

    Astravan VS the rear of my Disco

    He-he, one reason why I luv my landy. Twice people have thought it a good idea to reshape my back end both came off without front lights, grill and in one case bonnet too. All I suffered was a scratched bumper the first time (didn't even involve insurance) and a broken lense, tow bar electrics...

    TD5 Starting Problems...

    Well, praying and fingers crossed, collected it last night and seems to repeatedly start last night when warm and this morning from cold. A definate result on before. Replaced Fuel Pump and also it turned out to be the "air" regulator. Whether this is different to the fuel regulator or just a...

    poor fuel consumption - 2003 TD5

    Maybe not a help but my 2001 TD5 has averaged 27.something mpg over its 85,000 mile life so far. Mainly highway commuting in UK and for the past year highway commuting and steep hard mountain passes (altitude 400m - 2500m). Consumption in the past year has improved in Switzerland by a mile and a...

    Fuel Tank - Wot's this pipe?

    Thanks for your help everybody. All the time it doesn't spurt fuel out at me when I am filling I have decided to leave it alone. Mat above confirmed his also has a kink and I was lucky enough to see another Disco of similar age that I too scrambled under, exactly the same including kink. I put...
