Yes your are right, I will try with/without shorting pin to see which is best. Actually, I think the error is the same in all Rave manuals. The workshop manual TD5 management system says one thing and in the technical brochure diesel engine TD5 it contradicts. Very strange. Thanks

Very strange! The 2001 RAVE and the 2003 RAVE do not agree. In the 2001 it states normally open and in the 2003 normally closed. So which is it?

Looking for a new TD5 clutch switch. Cannot locate any new stock through the usual outlets. PT. No. MSK500020 (normally closed). Anyone got one?

My TD5 has developed a strange clutch or gearbox noise that comes and goes without any pattern. Cold or hot does not seem to make any difference and the noise occurs typically once every 20 miles or so (I only do short journeys). The only time the noise happens is when I have depressed the...

Many thanks, new switch ordered. Much, much better now I have shorted out the socket. I will look at the brake adjustment potential issue too.

My discovery TD5 has poor throttle response most noticeable at low revs. I have just looked at the clutch switch which, according to Rave, should be normally closed. Mine works fine but is normally open. I removed the connector, shorted the contacts and took it for a spin. Throttle response...

Thanks, I will do when the gale force winds and driving rain stop!

I have a small black (LPDE) pipe that has a curved end that is totally open ended (not fixed to anything or plugged) that sits just above the fuel regulator on my TD5. Can anyone tell me what this is for?

Try unplugging it and going for a spin. If improved, try cleaning it first although replacement is more likely.

I recently purchased a 2001 TD5 that very quickly developed severe diesel clatter and low pulling power especially at low revs. I checked the injector clearances, changed the MAF,changed the injector loom, cleared oil from ECU plug, by-passed the EGR and, whilst the top end power improved, the...

I can't help but wonder whether the ECU further adjusts the injector timing if it thinks the EGR is open. If it does, the benefit of removing the EGR would be compromised unless the ECU is forced to stop adding advance.

Point taken, just introduced myself.

Hi, Just registered to this great site. I am new to Land Rovers but not to Land Rover Engines. I now drive a Series 2 Disco TD5 as my main car but my real love is my Cobra replica fitted with a super-charged, Nos injected, 5.2 ltr Rover V8 built with the help of John Eales at J E Developments...

I have viewed several kit instructions for removing the EGR assembly on TD5 units. Most kits simply blank off the now redundant vacuum pipe to the EGR but leave the modulator in use. There are a few kits that also recommend disconnecting the electrical connection to the EGR modulator. My...
