Dear all I just wanted to say thank you very much for all the help over the last 3 years, i'm off! I have sold the TD5 so wont be needing your expertise anymore. It was a blast, perhaps we'll meet again one day, maybe on the RR pages though!? Before you ask, i've bought a Jag XJ super...

I read recently that heated rear seats (2nd row) are an option on the D3, it got me thinking whether this would work on a D2. It should be possible to buy 2 heater elements that normally go under the front seats and wire them into the system so they came on with the front seats. I cant see...

In Feb I had both the clutch and fly wheel changed in my '51 TD5 Manual as the release bearing was knackered and whined at me every time I changed gear. I had both the clutch and flywheel done again shortly afterwards as it still whined and the garage put it down to faulty parts. I then had 4...

First issue: Just did 270 miles of motorway driving on £50 (just under 42 litres) of fuel, I thought that's quite good. It's a manual TD5 and I averaged 70 MPH. Second issue: at the halfway point I pulled into the services for a brew and couldn't get out of 5th gear, What's that all about? It...

Hi all After lots of research I have decided to take the plunge and buy a de-cat section and centre silencer section of exhaust for my '51 manual TD5. I want to free up some power and I like to hear the turbo whistle! However, where from??? There is so much variance between price (which...

Why do Disco owners only replace the down pipe (with a decat pipe) and centre sections of their exhaust and not the whole thing, is it simply because of cost?

Hi all My '01 TD5 has started to become difficult to steer/turn. It seems to get a little better after a while but the steering is VERY heavy and feels 'lumpy'!! The fluid level is fine and I can see no leaks, all the belts are dry, (I say all belts as I dont know which one is related to...

Hi I need to reset a code on my '01 TD5. The engine ran for a little while with no coolant which resulted in the AC fan kicking to help the engine. I've had the engine, thermostat etc checked and all is ok but need a NANOCOM or similar to reset the AC fan as it still thinks the engine is...

The heater in my 51' Td5 works only when it wants to, any ideas why?? It doesn't matter whether the AC is on or off or whether auto or manual temp select is selected. It works a little better when moving and the fan speed is low. When i'm stationary just forget it!! It does work sometimes...

Hi Is this an easy job and could I do it myself?? I have a basic understanding and small amount of ability!! And, if I needed to replace the discs, is that a DIY job as well? Many thanks

Quick question. Can I change the ride height sensors myself or is it a LR job? Do they need calibrating? After a week of different tests I have decided my air suspension isn't leaking (as sometimes it stays up all the time over night) so it must be the sensors. Comments please!

Hi All Are these bearings the same thing??!! My Clutch (manual TD5) makes a whining noise (only when cold) that i can stop by adjusting the pressure on the clutch pedal. it only makes the noise when going into or out of gear, especially when holding the car on a hill by feathering the...

Hi all If I attempt to go over 2000rpm (in any gear), pressing the accelerator has a negative affect on power and actually slows me down, it feels like I'm driving through treacle. I cannot get the revs over 3000rpm. It has been running fine until last night and then this, also it takes ages...

Hello everyone, I hope you're enjoying the snow!! I want to tint the windows on my TD5 but don't want to use the kits that can be bought as i've heard that you need patience to use them I don't have any!:( Anyone know of a compnay that tints windows?? I'm in North Somerset but would be...

Hi All, My Disco 2 currently runs 255/55/18 but I want to get a set of off road wheels that I can throw on when needed, can anyone recommend which size/tyres would be best? I understand that the wheel may have to be a 16" but what tyre size then? Also I want to use on mud so any suggestions...

Hello all, some help required. :confused: I can't get the backs of the 3rd row seats into the upright position. The manual says that they'll only work if the base is fully locked into place, which it appears to be but still no luck, any ideas? Is this a common problem. I'm back into Land...
