Free to anyone who wants them. Taken off my 99 Td5 a couple of years ago when I scrapped the ACE system due to leaking pipework. Worked fine until removed. Stored in garage but having a clear out. In skip at tip by the end of the week if nobody wants them. Collect from Knutsford...

Had a quick look on similar issues but wonder if anyone can advise what is making the slight ticking noise in the engine compartment? Tried to start the car a week ago and it all went horribly wrong. Reached the point where I had the dreaded 'B' symbol with the diagonal line through it...

Have trawled previous posts and would basically like some direction to get going again. Monday got in car to be met with 6 chimes and a number 8 with a diagonal bar across it. Found out this was well documented on here so removed BCU and checked connections for moisture etc - re-connected...

Firstly, apologies to those that think I can't be bothered to check out the threads on this topic but I have done and just want some good advice as to how to negate this particular problem. Went to my local shop the other evening and didn't even bother locking the car as I had three dogs in the...

Jacked up the car today to fettle jammed brake pad on near side rear then did the same for the offside rear. Noticed that when all wheels back on that she was down a bit at the back end (air suspension). To straighten her up, I put the key in the ignition switch (to get the air compressor...

Have checked threads and can't find a match - so here goes. 1999 Discovery Td5 - Yesterday I removed starter motor and replaced contacts in starter solenoid. This went relatively well apart from trying to replace the top nut on the motor which is still in the kitchen! When I re-connected...

I've noticed that if I take my foot off the accelerator and then accelerate again I get a rather sloppy clunk. I usually drive quite sedately but am wondering if there is too much play somewhere down below? Otherwise car drives fine and even this isn't a problem but it doesn't seem right. Don't...

Just about to do the shuttle valve mod and am stuck as I am not totally convinced which wire I am going to cut on the loom. Due to age it isn't clear which is the YG wire. Can someone tell me which PIN on the plug the earth wire goes to so I am sure. There seems to be another wire that looks...

Have owned this car since Febraury 2011 and only recently noticed an annoying area on the windscreen which doesn't wipe properly. Worst in the dark but still a pain in daylight. It is right in field of view but I can't see any evidence of an earlier chip or crack repair. Cleaned the screen with...

Can anyone advise how long it should take a discovery td5 cabin heater to warm up from cold? Mine takes about 10 minutes. Is this normal or do I have a problem? Isn't the heater diesel powered or does it rely on the engine warming up (this seems to be the case with mine). Thanks in advance for...

Couple of weeks ago after getting increasingly fed up with the erratic visits by our three chums I replaced the ABS shuttle valve switch (using crude lever/mirror method) with a brand new one and felt pretty smart for about 250 miles - which included towing a boat on the motorway for over 120...

Managed to replace air bags on V reg Discovery Td5 yesterday and followed instructions provided on www.discovery2.co.uk to the letter (excellent source of help). After fitting offside rear bag I started engine briefly (to run compressor) to see if all was ok - it was. I then let out the air...

Second post - Very impressed with the wealth of knowledge out there. I have been visted a few times over the last month or so by the "Three Amigos". They usually disappeared after I re-started the engine. Over the last couple of days they have greeted me at start up and not gone away until I...

My first post - probably in the wrong section so apologies. When I sit on the rear bumper (I am a wasted 15.5st lardy) the back end drops. When I start the engine she raises to the correct height. My worry is, I bought the car to tow a boat and presume that when I hook up, the nose weight will...

Have been following threads for a while now - should have taken more note before buying "the beast". Really happy though as I can't stand the idea of not spending money! Proud owner of a 99 TD5 with 120k on the clock. Few minor issues at present but hopefully with the input from everyone out...
