Hi Chaps, My Dad can't get his D3 to Wales to have some work done before the MOT in March. Where in or around the Lincoln area can he find a decent independent? He needs brakes pipes doing and wishbones/bushes. Thanks, Pindie

Hi Chaps, My Dad has a D3 2007 which needs some new brakes pipes and bits for the MOT doing before March. He can't get to my local guy in Wales by then. Is there anyone in the Lincoln area that could help? Needs to be a good indy guy without costing silly money. Thanks in advance. Pindie:tea:

Hi All, An old one this..... My 300tdi M 94 has a strange thing happening. Three out of five times unlocking using the door lock the alarm goes off and you have to re lock and open and all is fine. It did this when I bought it years ago and I remember doing something with the key in the lock...

Hi All, I checked my fuses with the battery connected and noe have a lot of fault codes. Not surprising, I know. Very stupid thing to do. I was wondering if anyone within 30 miles or so of Newport, South Wales has a plug in gizmo to clear the faults??? I can drive the car to you if need...

My 03 auto td5 disco had a dodgy ride height sensor. I fitted two new ones to match the recently fitted susp air bags. Snag was faulty (but now repaired) side dropped to normal height, the other side which was fine before dropped to the ground - bugger. Vehicle low loaded to nice man with...

Damn thing! New air bags- the old ones leaked, few months later (now)- new ride height sensors as one side was up in the air the other low. Now a dash full of lights , ABS, TC, SLS, HDC etc stay on and supension still one sided. I've had enough! Should I just scrap it, sell it as it is or...

Hi All, 03 D2 with air springs. Changed springs 6 mnths ago and no snags but just got back from shops and lights on dash came on (most of them) and have found rear nearside bag blown right up to max height yet drivers side normal height? Pressing dash button to lower/raise does not work...

Hi All, Disco 2, auto on 03 plate. I have replaced my intercooler hoses, turbo modulator, MAF sensor, 13 threads on my waste gate and lubed joints but the damn thing still kangaroos if you boot it as if an overboost situation is occuring. Also, on the motorway I get slight snatches at 3k-4k...

I am getting uj screech from the front joint on the Kardan or is my auto box up the swanney. Does not screech all the time but somtimes a little screech appears and goes.

Hi All, Just serviced my 03 td5 auto and if left parked or still for an hour when you drive there is sometimes a screech from the auto box? once its done it once it is fine for the rest of a journey - any ideas? The other one is a resonance through the vehicle at around 1800 rpm (buzz buzz)...

Hi All, My 03 td5 has an odd characteristic. On full throttle it can feel like the ignition is cutting in and out in big pulses? Much like turning the engine of and on. It does not do it all the time and seems to do it more after a layup of a week or more. If you keep letting it pulse and back...

Can I fit a taller profile tyre to my disco 11? They are 255/55 18. I wish to put AT2s on but want more sidewall.

What bits do you need to remove to get to the adjusment lock nut on an 03 td5. I know where it is but access seems bloked by battery tray etc. Can it be reached from underneath as I need to take a weeny bit of play out of the steering box - its not bushes or joints as those all checked. Ta

Hi All, MOT time later this month for my ever faithful 300 tdi. Last year the boot floor was patched up but the arches were not to bad. This year after a super clean out of the same arches i have seen the onset of some rust/rot. I have treated it all to a liberal coating of Kurall and...

Disco 2 auto boxes are sealed for life and do not need oil change's? Surely not, all oil degrades with time. Do you change yours?

How can I get an 03 td5 auto to not slip as much and work so hard all the time. A tuned td5 should have plenty of torque available so why does it not improve? Is there any mods that can be done with clutches, solenoids etc to get a more direct drive? Is different oil an option? Does...

Hi All, I thought I would treat myself and replace my 200k 300tdi disco with a 50k td5 disco and enjoy another 14 years of happy cost effective motoring. WRONG! I have had the td5 a while and over 5k miles it has cost way more to run, maintain than 8k miles in the tdi. My 300 is...

Black low pressure return seeping fuel on my td5 at the in tank pump, it had a new pump a while ago. Not seated properly or a seal missing? The other three seem tight and are not leaking yet the black moves a little. How does the male part seal into the female part (no funny answers please)?.

Hi all, After replacing the seal at the top of the tank pump do you need to replace the seals where the pipe unions clip into each other? Are there O rings in there to replace? Mine seem to weep over time and I was wondering if the seals may need renewing? Thanks

I have been researching the td5 and the use of bio fuels (diesel). People say you can not use it in a td5. There are many types of alledged bio diesel in the UK from home bodgers or the ill informed. Bio diesel that conforms to EN 14214 will be very good quality fuel and will have been...
