Hi is the plug inside the gearbox ?

Whats c, u regs cheers .

Thought this might be the case .Did take it to a garage who used a Autel system but no look , will try and find a dedicated machine .cheers Steve

Ok if you have just road tyres fitted this sound is normal I presume.

I had a problem like this went to garage after garage in the end I noticed if I filled my fuel tank all the way up it started first time . So I use to fill up when It dropped to 3/4 of a tank, after doing this for a while it cured it worth a try.

Mine sounds like a bag of nails as well so I presume its normal .

Try taking glow plugs out before start up to see if there damp .

Sorry for not being clear.I use a mixture of pressing fob open and close .the interior light is very dim and also when I press fob there is an unusual squealing noise coming from somewhere in dashboard.

Now and then when I turn my ignition on the display is blank apart from a dimley lit SRS light if I take the key out and play around with the fob and putting the key back in it seems to rectify itself .The cars a td5 any help welcome thanks.

I suppose you could , good idea .

Thanks Sierrafery at least now With the part number I can look for a cheap one .Should there be one for the Auto and one for the manual box ?

By main loom do you mean injector harness as this was first port of call.Garage said engine loom had to much oil in to let it dry out.

The garage has told me I need a new injector harness so ok but also engine loom , this is where the problem is none of the spares places seems to be of help with the right part .Landrover want £450 but I wondered if there is a aftermarket supplier. I could do with a part no or a link , its a 51 plate auto box chassis no SALLTGM832A738824 .The part needs to match with this later chassis no .Thanks for reading STEVE .

I would say check glow plugs and do it when left standing overnight so you can see if you have any leaky injectors , glow plugs will appear wet .

Problem solved , there was no play in any of the bearings , no noise or clicking on full lock more of a thump which sounded and felt was coming from off side .After swapping and one new bearing "cheap one off ebay" near side bearing worn , no noise .

Had a look at prop no obvious play can turn it about 5 -10 degrees .cheers

Thanks John , whats the best way to check cv joints . Cheers Steve

Hi guy's I have a loud thumping noise coming from around front diff area which is really noticeable when turning right .Checked hubs and replaced one , new pads and discs , no play in cv or front drive shaft ..Plenty of oil in diff .Its a disco td5 auto with 88000 miles Do you think its the diif .Cheers Steve
