    1994 P38 4.0 V8 problems revving

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, it`s definately a P38. It`s a 1994 (M) plate. If my memory serves me correctly, they came out post September 1994.

    1994 P38 4.0 V8 problems revving

    Evening. I`ve bought an early P38 today with a suspected BeCM problem. Putting this aside, the first issue I`ve noticed is it doesn`t want to drive! It`s an auto, and seems to rev well enough when not in drive. As soon as you`re in drive, it only seems to want to rev upto about 2500 rpm, and has...

    looking into a td5,

    IMHO, very good if you don`t work them too hard. I bought a 51 plate D2 ES last December, and have done 65k towing miles in her upto now. It`s a comfortable place to be, easy to drive and pretty good on fuel (25mpg when towing). having said this, they certainly do have niggles. In my 10...

    2001 Disco TD5 dash lights up, but won't start.....

    So many times, I lost count. I also unlocked it with the key, lcoked it with the internal button, disconneted the battery etc. Not a clue what actually helped me in the end, but it`s started, which is the main thing!

    2001 Disco TD5 dash lights up, but won't start.....

    Thanks for all the help guys...........all sorted now! To be honest, I don`t really know how I started it. I just tried a sequence of all the suggested ideas, and all of a sudden, it turned over and fired up. I`ve started it a number of times now too, using both keys and (touch wood) it seems...

    2001 Disco TD5 dash lights up, but won't start.....

    Yep, that`s the one! I couldn`t think of any way to describe it. I disconnected the battery for about 20 minutes last night, to no avail. With regards to rain, certainly not an excessive amount. The window was down about 2 inches due to an issue (another one!) with the regulator, but I can`t see...

    2001 Disco TD5 dash lights up, but won't start.....

    Fuel pump is definately working, as I heard this last night. i`ll check the starter though, as this would make sense. Thanks again.

    2001 Disco TD5 dash lights up, but won't start.....

    Thanks for the reply. The LED on the dash seems to be normal; rapid flashing for 10 seconds when locked, no prolonged flashed when unlocked. I`ll try the other suggested ideas this afternoon, and will have my fingers crossed!

    2001 Disco TD5 dash lights up, but won't start.....

    Morning. After the gearbox went on my manual TD5 late last week, it was left in my yard with the key in the ignition for 5 days (in the off position). Yesterday, I went to start it up, and move her, but nothing happened. When I first got in the car and turned the key to position 1, all the...

    disco td5 diesel fuel consumption

    I run a 2001 TD5 ES with ACE, 18" wheels and A/C (off). I only ever use the Disco for towing, and I`ll get between 430-480 on a full tank. This is towing upto 3500kg too, but mainly motorway driving. I don`t know how others feel about their economy, but I`m pretty chuffed with mine. Oh, it`s got...

    D4 - D2 wheels

    Hi, Does anyone know if wheels off a D4 will fit a D2? I know you can get a kit to fit RR wheel on a D2, but I can`t find anything about the D4. Cheers, Rob

    D2 seat covers

    Hi, Have any D2 owners found any seat covers that actually fit the seats well, and stay on the seat? I`ve been through a few, and I can`t ge any to fit well. Most/all of the ones I`e bought (includin LR ones) never stay in place, and are generally fr oo baggy for the seat. I`ve spoken to...

    Disco 2 as a tow car

    Not yet Del, that`s my plan for Saturday morning. I generally leave the house when dark, and don`t return until it`s dark, so lack of daylight makes it hard.

    Disco 2 as a tow car

    Just returned from another days towing......and noticed all these responses! Thanks a lot for the info. What the majority have said is what I was thinking, the SLS is well worth keeping due to the fact it`s a tow car. I`m sure, if it rarely towed, I`d look at coils. A pair of airbags it is...

    Disco 2 as a tow car

    Ha, Cheers for the reply. I was expecting a few answers like this after reading up on this. The reason I don`t want to change to coils is because I`d lose the self levelling capabilities. I know quite a few people arn`t fussed about this, but as 95% of the time it`s on the road, it is...

    Disco 2 as a tow car

    Evening. I`m a newbie to Landyzone, and LR in general, so go easy on me! I`ve recently bought a Disco 2 to use as a towcar. It will be towing almost everyday, although mostly on the motorway. A couple of days ago, the O/S rear suspension was right down onto the stopper, so i presume this is an...
