    Freelander 1 Had my drive train knocking diagnosed

    I was surprised at the genuine bearings. Initially I was hacked off with the LR Indy who fitted them as they told me they only used best quality parts so when I saw these things I thought I had been diddled. I picked up two new bearings from local LR dealer to find they were just the same. Very...

    Freelander 1 Had my drive train knocking diagnosed

    First set were fitted by reputable LR independent garage. I fitted second set and took care to make sure housings were as well aligned as could be. With the bearings in flexible mounts what more can you do? I noticed that all the bearings were marked made in India and I'm sure this would not...

    Freelander 1 Had my drive train knocking diagnosed

    I had exactly the same issue with vcu bearings about a month before I sold my td4. Knocking when pulling into parking spaces. That's the second set of genuine lr bearings I had taken off. First ones were fitted with new vcu and bearings themselves failed after 13 months. Another set fitted and...

    Disco 2 The effect of engine vibration on ACE??

    Hey all Ive got two issues in the go at the moment, both of which i have open threads on. I have a noisy ACE system which sounds like its ticking when engine is at idle speed, the frequency of the tick increases with RPM and the zystem now drones noisily on cornering. Other issure is engine...

    Td5 injector balancing?

    OK cheers. The maximum deviation on my injector 4 was +8. As mentioned before its only a slight roughness at idle, some might not even notice. I will be trying all the easy to do today and will post findings.

    Td5 injector balancing?

    Thanks for your info Mark. The injector issue did show up on diagnostics yes, I did see it with the slight imbalance on cylinder 4 although it wasn't excessive. Fully agree with your approach, I have already checked red ecu plug and it's completely spotless. No visible defects under rocker...

    Td5 injector balancing?

    Thats interesting, sort of thing I was looking for as injectors ain't exactly cheap and I don't want to replace one only to find the problem is elsewhere. Something else lead you to the MAF sensor or was it just coincidence that this corrected the imbalance? Did you have any vibrations when you...

    Td5 injector balancing?

    Maybe wrong terminology, not so much adjustment as checking rocker/injector clearances to ensure they are as per manual.

    Td5 injector balancing?

    Been reliably informed today that my 2001 disco td5 vibration issue is down to a slight imbalance on injector 4...but I'm happy as it seems dual mass flywheel isn't fooked after all. I was thinking to plump for new injector there and then but then thought would that be hasty? Could it be a dodgy...

    Disco 2 Dual mass flywheel vibration?

    Well took belt off again today, all pulleys spot on including front damper, no play at all. Run engine with belt off and vibration is still there and definitely seems to be coming from around clutch area of casing. I also checked engine and gearbox mounts, all look good the engine mounts have...

    Disco 2 Dual mass flywheel vibration?

    Cheers James, I did check all pulleys when looking for ACE system noise but wasn't looking for this issue at the time. I will check damper again tonight. Really frustrating as its up for sale and now just keeps on throwing things at me.

    Disco 2 Dual mass flywheel vibration?

    Hey all. I'm hearing a vibration going through the disco both at idle and when on the move and does vary with rpm. Nothing on auxy belt pulleys of any concern but felling around it does feel like it's originating around the clutch housing. Anyone suffered the same symptoms of clutch or dfm...

    TD5 knock/click/tick/rattle noise thing

    Do you have ACE? My td5 started making a weird noise recently which was like a rattle/tap/vibration, which I now know for sure is coming from the valve block. It sounds very similar to an exhaust manifold leak.

    Mystery problem

    Definitely sounds like at least one bad caliper, if they seize while still making contact they obviously just heat up to the point where they expand until they lock completely. If that's the problem then of course by time you went to shop everything had cooled down and released again.

    Disco td5 2001 front axle seal leak.

    Another day in the paradise of disco ownership :) Front passenger side axle seal has gone. Going by manual looks straight forward drawing out drive shaft but are the special tools for insertion of new seal required? Grateful for any advice as always.

    Discovery td5 GS 2001 - for sale but needs repairs.

    Yes,still for sale, pending a small issue I have with the ACE at the moment, it's making a weird ticking sound, no warning alarms or fluid loss tho, just bugging me. I was having to top up coolant by about half a litre every 4 months or so but just few days ago I removed and re-fitted bleed...
