As predicted two studs had snapped. New studs and gaskets fitted, happy days !!

Thanks for the advice, it looks as if the manifold may be warped. I have tightened it as much as I dare and slapped on some exhaust paste as a temporary fix.

Fitted new turbo, on removal there was play and actuator was very stiff, took it for a run and squeal still there! Was getting dark so will check belts and manifold tomorrow, thanks for your info lads

Smoke seemed black from what I saw in the mirror, it smoked a bit before I blanked the egr last month but its smoked less since and has drove better, til now !

Hi I am after some help and opinions please. Today when I pulled anto the A66 my 03 Disco Td5 made a squeal from the engine, the car pulled OK and stopped squealing so I drove on. When I accelerated to join the A1 it squealed again with a bit of smoke but nothing excessive. I tried to limp it...

:confused:Hi, I am after some opinions and help regarding my 03 td5 Disco please. I was pulling on to the A66 today and heard a squeal from the engine, it seemed to go and the car drove fine, however when I accelerated to join the A1 the squeal came back and stayed .There was a bit of smoke but...

Hi, I'm thinking of doing mine, are you still happy with it , and does it smoke less?

Thanks for your views, helpful as always. I m normally able to give it a blast up and down the A1 going away on weekends but with winter I haven't been away much just commuting to work etc. I was already thinking of blanking the egr off , have many of you done this and is there a noticeable...

Hi, a work mate was following me today and said that when I accelerated a lot of black smoke came from the exhaust. I had my 03 td5 Disco remaped nearly 2 years ago and its been fine. Could it be an egr valve or worse a turbo? I am mainly doing short journeys at the moment and the mpg has...

Thanks for all the info. Is it easy to remove the airbag ?

Hi, I have a 03 discovery XS TD5 manual and have seen a kit on Ebay for cruise control ,it seems to consist of a switch and the controls for the side of the steering wheel. Has anyone fitted this kit and does it just "plug in and play"? :confused:

Thanks for your replies. I got a new actuator from the dealers for £70 (not bad for brand new against £45 from ebay!). I followed the excellent link to change it and job done, only to find my battery is now dead. It was old and jack frost finally got it, the joys of Landrover ownership I guess!

Thanks for your replies, I think for easyness I'll replace the actuator. I haven't priced a new one yet (if they are available), but have seen some on ebay for about £40. Is this about right, and how long does it take to change?

Help, I have a problem with the n/s/f door lock on my 03 td5. When I unlock the car all the doors unlock apart from this one, if I pull the internal handle it will open and it will lock with the others . I thought it could be an actuator , but if it were this would it still lock ? Any ideas...

Hi, I've got a 03 Disco 2 td5 which I bought in march. The rear tyres were a bit worn and the o/s/r seemed to be wearing quicker but as it had a slow puncture I thought nothing of it. I have now replaced both rears and have noticed that the outer edge of the o/s/r is wearing pretty quick. tyre...

Help.my 03 Disco has developed a knock from the o/s/f wheel when turning right with full lock. the annoying thing is it doesn't do it all the time, any ideas please?:confused:

Hi, I've got a 03 Discovery td5 but have only 1 key. I got a used one of ebay and bought a new blade which fits the locks . According to the handbook you can reprogram a key in the door lock by turning the key to correspond with the security code i.e 4=four turns . Does anyone know how you input...
