    Dead Td5

    Hey All, The other day, I went to move my 90 out the way of the garage. Started up no problems and was just sat idling while I got the other car out the garage. As it was idling, it just..... shut off. Then it just cranked, with no sign of life. Had to rush to work so pushed it back and left...

    My landy is having mood swings

    Ok bear with me, while I try to explain this the best I can. She basically has different moods (no, i havent gone mad lol) One day, she will fire up and sound a bit lumpy idling, and generally not feel as smooth driving, and sound harsh when revving it) On another day, she will start up...

    Too change or not too change....

    Just wondering what your opinion is, my rear shock bushes need changing and I'm wondering if I should change the shocks as well (65000 miles) Do you think it's worth doing, or should they last quite a bit longer? Original LR shocks still on it ;)

    Tyre size question:

    I've been trying to get a decent answer, but no luck so far, gonna try and keep this to the point.... I currently run 235/85/16 BFG MT's. I dont really like the looks of the new BFG's, so I think I'll be going for a set of Cooper STT's. What are the pro's and con's of going up to 265/75...

    Td5, think something's not quite right

    Can't really put my finger on it, and it's hard to describe... It just feels like it's not running as smoothly sometimes, i wouldn't go as far as saying it's missing, just seems a little harsher and not as willing to rev. Yet on other occasions I'm left astonished at how smoothly and briskly...

    Who's a Td5 expert???????????????????????

    Not been here for a while, but need a bit of advice. Firstly: When I started her up the other morning, she chucked out a fair bit of black smoke which then stopped. I then blipped the throttle which sent out another cloud of smoke :confused::confused:. So I watched in the mirror as I slowly...

    td5

    I'm now considering upgrading my 01 td5 HT, to an 04 SW. Took one out for a test drive and was amazed at how much quiter and smoother the engine was. Mine knocks a bit more at tick over, and has a "ticking noise" at higher revs. At 66000 miles it seems to be a litle worn. Visible smoke on...

    more funny noises!!!!!

    Just driven to wales then over to Ireland and back. 1000 mile round trip, it's shown up a few issues that need sorting. Anyone got any ideas on some of these: A knocking coming from the LH side of the front axle when driving on a beach, and green-lanes. Sort of a thud as the axle moves over...

Could the clutch not be disengaging properly. Clunk when depressing the clutch in 2nd and 3rd and sometimes...

    Td5 Exhaust Manifold Gasket

    I posted on here a while ago about a vibration at low revs, never got to the bottom of it. It seems to have got worse and now is a sort of whistling, air and vibration noise. Challenger4x4 had a look in it and said it was the exhaust manifold gasket, a common problem normally on chipped...
