I really must learn not to go poking about with a screwdriver

and here it is

so after several years in normal car wilderness I have found myself back in the Landrover fold with the acquisition of a 1995 D1 V8....I must be mad! and indeed after revealing to "er indoors" I had just had an ebay moment of madness with a speculative bid on a discovery I thought i was about to be divorced but i think she'll come round, this is after all the sixth disco we have had after 4 D1's and a D2 Td5 anyway hello to all again

well there were some faults to do with the front abs sensors by the look of it, they,ve been reset and so far alls well so we,ll just have to keep an eye on it now and see what happens

thanks all for the replies i,ll let you know how i get on with it

having searched this topic all over the place i cant find a definitive reply about having to get it turned off but all advice seems to be get it hooked up to a computer somewhere, also the other question if all these lights are on can it still be driven without causing any damage to anything until i can get to somewhere that can read it?

Hi all, I have had 4 warning lights come on the dash of my "04" discovery, the 3 amigoes and a brake warning light. Checking round the wheels i find the near side rear hub bearings are gone and leaking oil and have lots of play so duly replace said hub and fit new sensor, trouble is the lights are still on and wont go off, do i need to get it hooked up now to get the lights turned off or is there another fault going on? thanks in advance for any replies

they do flash when you lock with the fob as normal but 5 mins later you get this constant "tick tock" clicking from somewhere behind the light cluster, suppose i could take the light out and see whats in there

Hi all, I have an 04 td5 auto discovery with an odd fault, when you lock it up on the fob and set the alarm most of the time its fine but recently there is a ticking noise coming from the rear rhs light cluster much akin to a relay clicking on and off like the indicators were running, if i unlock it wait then relock it it goes away any ideas as to whats doing it welcome

Hi I have a 2004 TD5 disco with an odd and intermittent fault thats started to become a pain, when you get in and try to start it will wind over but not fire, leave it 5 mins or re lock the car and unlock it again and retry and it starts fine and will probably be fine for weeks before it does it again, question is do td5,s suffer from immobiliser faults?

Hi all ive searched for a post on the m and s lights coming on for the auto box in a td5 disco but cant find anything, would i be right thinking this may be a battery fault? they came on once today when i started it up after a brief stop i stopped again switched it off while trying to work out why they were on restarted and they went off, not been on since any advice? cheers

thanks les i had read that and was expecting to see some oil somewhere in the plug but everything was dry, i,ll have to keep an eye on it and see if it happens again

I have yes i thought that may be a problem so have looked inside, cant see any where water has been or is

Hi all, i have come into td5 ownership about 2 months ago purchasing an 04 landmark disco auto and all has been fine until yesterday, while driving along a dual carriagway at about 60 the engine lost power and appeared to run very lumpy, i pulled over and tried revving it out of gear and above 2500rpm there was a pronounced"miss" I,ve read all the tech archives etc about poor running ,oil in looms etc and have checked the ecu plug,fuel lines and maf sensor but all appear ok, took it for a run this morning and all was normal admittedly i was driving in a torrential rain storm yesterday but would this affect the running? is this a symptom or early warning of a problem developing with the injector loom? thanks for any suggestions

I have just had to fit a britpart waterpump as i couldnt get a genuine anywhere and was desperate, the place i bought from only keeps these as a last resort and apologised profusely for having to sell it to me and gave me discount, he also stated check it regularly as it will fail i,m now paranoid
