Fellow LandyZoners, this is why we throw away our EGRs. quote By feeding the lower oxygen exhaust gas into the intake, diesel EGR systems lower combustion temperature, reducing emissions of nitrous oxides. This makes combustion less efficient, compromising economy and power...

Hi, What about a dedicated WANTED section for odds and sods? Like, I want to buy a set of five steel wheels for a TD5 Disco. Where is the right place in LZ to post that? CharlesY

Right People! [ I have a Hawkeye if that is going to be any help ] Disco 2 has sunk at the back. Both height sensors are attached and look OK. RIGHT airbag is fully hard. LEFT airbag is fully deflated It looks as if the system is making no effort to pump the left airbag back up...

Hi Guys, I am repeating this reply with a new subject heading. Hi Shifty, Not a lot. Still poor to start this morning. But that may be at least partly due to dodgy fuel. Now hear this . Discomania and I jacked up rear right and took off the wheel. Then using a 19mm spaniard slackened...

Hi, My Disco TD5 (04 plate) has about 80k miles on it, and I run on some pretty dodgy fuel brews, using quite a bit of recovered oils, and old engine oil. Is uses these fine on about a 50-50 mix with pump fuel (I NEVER use red diesel) but a recent lot of recovered oil has had too much...

Well boys, surprise surprise, a mealy mouthed non answer, and they won't be taking off the rip-off tax either. Here it is. Petition to: Fuel duty reduction, now VAT has increased to 17.5%, please deduct the duty which was levied when vat was reduced to 15%. This petition is now...

Hi Guys, My Disco 2 TD5 blows the front window fuse when I try either front window. It blows the fuse even with the motors disconnected. I have checked the motors in the doors and they work fine when powered off a separate battery. I greased the quadrants when I was in among it. Does anyone...

This should be passed to as many people as possible! ... When VAT was temporarily reduced to 15%, the Chancellor added 2% duty to fuel to offset the reduction in tax collected from motorists. Motorists were not to benefit from the VAT reduction, but they didn't tell us that at the time...

I fitted a set of four of these to my Disco TD5 today. Excellent in the snow and slush so far. Has anyone had a set of these for a long time? Do they last well? All news and views welcomed. CharlesY

Does anyone know - I bet loads of you do - if the in-tank fuel pump in a Defender TD5 is the same pump that the Discovery TD5 uses? CharlesY

Hi Guys, Diesel at the pumps is £1.07 a litre from my local ASDA. NEW veg oil on the shelves is £0.85p a litre from ASDA. I just bought a trolley-full at 85p / litre and am saving TWENTY TWO PENCE A LITRE compared to paying at the pumps. And my TD5 runs better on it. CharlesY

Hi Everyone, TAKDriver is working on a P38 he is about to inherit, but it has a broken connector at the fuel filter. :doh: The fuel supply pipe comes to the filter at a 90° Bend, and that has broken. :( It's easy enough to join the PIPE with push-on connectors if we have to joint it, but...

Hi Guys, I have decided to fit a leccy fan. The viscous coupling one is already off. I want to be able to switch it on from inside the car as an over-ride. What's the best make to get please? CharlesY

My chum TAKdriver is about to adopt a P reg RR diesel auto with a not very happy engine that sort of goes in the huff at sixty-ish and cuts out. Questions: What engine is that likely to be? What's wrong with it? How do we fix it? CharlesY PS I haven't seen it yet.

Hi all, Am driving the Disco to Coventry on Thursday if anyone needs a lift or something moved. PM me. CharlesY

I wany y'all to be very kind to a new member from way up here in Haggis-Land, WULLBAR. He needs careful looking after - he's only about six foot four both ways, sort of delicate like.:D He does TWO wheels as well as four. :eek: He sold me a set of Disco wheels and tyres a while back...

Hi Guys, A friend here has a Disco TD5 on a 03 plate with a non-standard radio. The controls on the steering wheel don't work it. 1. Does the steering wheel control only work with the original LandRover radio? 2. Does anyone have and want to sell an original radio in working condition ...

Hi, My Disco 2 TD5 ir pumping fuel out from over the top of the tank. It starts dripping as soon as the pump is running. The filter head and pipes are dry. I lifted the boot floor and the pump access cover and the four pipes at the pump are clean and dry so the leak must be from in front of...

I would be pleased if someone will send me a scan of an instruction sheet for a LandRover "plug-in" towbracket thing for the Disco 3. My chum bought one from a private seller, and it didn't work - the locking bolt would not withdraw - at best it would only pull in about half way. Nor would...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/1/hi/england/7186016.stm what a plonker! A LandRover of any description has yet, as far as I know, ever been classified as a submarine. Wading isn't quite the same! CharlesY
