Hi guy's been to look at a TD5 D5 but notice the coolant level was down a bit & when I looked up from underneath there is what looks like water marks on the lower cover, could this be that the water pump has gone or perhaps one of the pipes or could it be the head:unsure: it's coming from the front of the egine if that helps

Well been & looked at a nice 52 plate auto today but noticed that the O/S/F hub had what looked like a very thin coating of grease on it would this be a sign that the hub bearing is on it's last legs ? also notice there was a small water leak at the front end when I looked up underneath as the marks were on the bottom cover, when I looked down the belt tensioner looked a bit rusty (thin surface rust) & was wondering what it could poss be water pump top rad hose leaking ? last but not least the rear air bags have been replace with coils but I was wondering if the cars comp had to be altered for this & if there was any way of telling if it's been done or not This D2 is for sale at a garage but i'd be happy to do this work if I can knock the asking price down enough

Thanks guy's as this has helped me alot in this strange (to me) world of LR

Thanks lads sounds like in time i'm going to have fun having owned a Terrano for 3 year i've sort of got used to nothing on the market so the future is looking bright

Thanks BogMonster for the info it's just the one i'm looking at getting I think has ACE fitted with alot of other toys

Thanks for that if they go wrong can you just fit a standart set up by replacing the anti roll bar ?

Hi guy's I was wondering if there is much in the way of the above for the D2 TD5. Hopefully I shall be getting one in the next couple of weeks & would like to make it a bit more off road friendly Main thing I think i'll be looking for is a 2" lift (will have to go to springs from bags I think) & some sort of under body protection like diff gaurds, steering gaurds, & better recovery points. Next up will be a snorkel & wading breather kit for the axles & boxes. Are these things available ? sorry if this sounds a silly Q just that i've never owned a landy before so not sure whats out there for the above model. Cheers for any info Neil

Hi can I ask what ACE is ? I'm sure it's something to do with the handling (am I right) will it cause me any probs when going off road. I do some green laning from muddy lanes in Northumberland to rocky lanes in the Yorkshire Dales & hopefully more lanes in the Lakes

Hi guy's i'm back again after almost a year well i'm now deff on the hunt for a D2 My Terrano is now needing quiet a bit spent on it & 1 part I can't get till October unless I pay around £300 from nissan pluss the shell is rotting away like mad now & peeps call LR's for that at least you can get new panels off the shelf & not have to make your own up. Any way can I ask what is ACE ? Saw a nice 02 plate D2 auto today, looked in very good nick from what I could tell & it was'nt giving itself an oil change from what I could see TBH think it's been a tarmac queen all it's life. The sticker infront of the H/L stick had difflock to the side of it but the knob did'nt have the pattern on it, I tried to push it acroos from the N position but it did'nt seem to want to move is there a certain gear you need to be in as it was just parked up ? Any way i've prob put you all to sleep by now but hopefully in the next few weeks I will be a first time LR owner

You can buy a converter which takes speaker wires to phono plugs(RCA's) which would be easier

If you dry it off & put some talk on the area it'll show up where it's coming from

Thanks for that chain drive hmmm I like that as I don't like belts I always keep on top of my motors & give them roughly a weekly check over from top to bottom From what i've seen the parts for LR's are cheaper then the Jap 4x4's like the £90 I paid for my water pump & it had a faulty visscus coupling & the replacement is'nt 100% as it keeps cutting in when not needed As for cheep motoring i've never really had that as the hot hatches I used to drive I had to replace the front tyres at least once a year, cv boots splitting, bushes going etc. I'm starting to really consider an auto because of the probs I have with my legs & it seams that alot of D2's have cruise control on them which would be a blessing for me on long trips

Thanks for the advise so far The price I mentioned was for the parts as I did the work We went & had a look at a 02 plate one today with 80K on the clocks & I had such a job to move the transfer lever It was dripping oil from the front axle/prob area, back of the engine & the transfer box. It was surpossed to have a full history which I checked but the oil filter looked very old & rusty as did the fuel filter. At what sort of mileage does the cam belt need changing & how long to the clutches last for

Hi guys, sorry if this has been covered before At the min I have a Terrano TDI & TBH it has been fantastic on & off road & have spent about £250 max on repairs over the last 2 years but sadly the gearbox is on it's way out after 73K miles so am know thinking of getting a D2 TD5, I've been told about the air suspension can be a prob at times & I read the wiring loam for the injectors can fill up with oil. What should I be looking for ie rust & where, oil leaks, engine & trans probs etc ? as I would hate to buy a dog as getting a Disco will be putting us into det for a few years so money will be very tight I would be most greatfull for any advise Neil
