Could it be the waste gate? i have a NANOCOM connected and when the revs get to about 2500k (under load) the turbo pressure drops to zero. The engine was a straight swap, we didnt touch the injectors. Would the ECU need updating when a new engine is put in.

Hi all I've just put a new (well recon) engine in my Disco TD5 (2001) and it is as if it has a limiter fitted. I can accelerate fine up to 3000rpm or 60mph then there just is no guts left in it. Its baffleing me, all i can think of doing now is taking it to LR and getting the ECU checked out... Any ideas? Thanks Steve

My TD5 disco decided to "sump" and is now in a pretty poor state, so we are going to try a rebuild, question is, dos anyone know a good source of parts, pistions, rings, injectors etc. Can the injectors be reconditioned. thanks

Everyone seems to be out of stock of AT2's, i hink I will have to settle for some £75 cheapy road tyres!!!!

Hi All. Does anyone know where i can get any 255/55/18 All Terrain tyres... Thanks Steve

I have a similar problem, I only need to touch the accelarator and i get a sort of "farting" sound. Thats the best I can describe it. By tapping the accelarator you could play a tune.

I had exactly the same problem, and it was tottaly random. I got a spring replacement kit and took the air bags off.

I will check that, possibly done some damage while I have been off road, are manifolds expensive? Steve

Spencer i will PM it now to you. I got a NANOCOM and I think its and excellent peice of kit. Steve

I have a 51 plate Discovery TD5 which is making a whistling & wining sound. When I accelerate (even just touching the accelerator) there is a whistling sound coming from engine it also appears to be more noticable from inside the truck rather than outside. Along with the whistling there is a sound that i can best describe as an off road motorcylce running on 1 cylinder (if they have more than one). as the truck goes faster the noises are gradually drowned out by the "normal" sound of the engine, if I remember correctly the noises have gone by about 2500-3000 RPM. Any ideas? Thanks Steve

You are correct it is called a ground stud C0561-1, I think I got confused with another job which appears to be an Earth problem Would you know where C0362 is located, it just says it mentions LH side of Facia (Glove box i am presuming??) Thanks

The matchstick was missing off the tools required. As I live 50 miles from the nearest shop, it would have been a nightmare!!!! Othere than that excellent post!!

After losing the 3 Amigoes for about 6 months, they have finally returned and dont seem to want to leave anytime soon. Without going in to everything I did to get rid of them previously, it might be easier to say what i didnt do...... I was following an excellent tech sheet kindly sent from CIPX2, but as it was dark and raining i decided to omit one of the steps, which was "Check the earth tag". My question is does anyone know which is the earth tag for the ABS as there seems to be many of them!!! Thanks Steve

This is where i admit to not searching the forum before posting, I must get into the habit.

What does removing the EGR plate acomplish? Does it improve performance?

No they were tie wrapped inside the rear panels, i could always attach cigar lighters to them!!! Any other thoughts for their use??

Well I have loads of speakers and i had the CD changer etc, so would that mean i had ICE? looking at the rave manual page 1554 (ICE System Component layout), it looks like I have that lot, must admit i havent noticed the radio headphone amplifier

i have 2 plugs, one each side, in the rear boot space of my disco TD5 (2001) Any idea what they are for and this is the location of one of them

Once I fix the drivers door lock I will try that!!!

With regards to which one Horn/Sounder I am unsure, however after taking the discovery 2 out, i put the fuse back in and the problem has gone away for now. Problem solved (apparently)

I have been working on the disco recently (changing the fuel pump) and tottaly out of the blue the horn activated and stayed on constantly. I say it came on out of the blue, I think it might have come on just as i opened a door. I am not sure weather it is an alarm resseting problem or possibly the horn relay, as I have looked at the horn wiring diagram and there doesnt seem a lot to it other than the relay.

All sorted, no leaks no smoke (well I couldnt see any) Thanks again, and i have posted a quick post on how to test the fuel pump.

I put a new seal on. Not sure if i have tightend it up enough, it seems tight, but I still rock the pump a little, it is obviously flexing on the gasket. I'd only just filled up when the bloody thing bust.

This is a cut down version of the original topic which can be found here Thanks to CIPX2 for providing most of the text (the pictures are my work of art !!) Testing the Fuel Pump Using a multimeter:- 1. Check for continuity betwwen the Black pin & White/Purple Pin - There should be continuity 2. Check resistance betwen the same 2 pins should be approx 145ohms if using the genuine LR part Also when the ignition is turned to position II you should hear the pump "buzzing" If either of those tests fail, the chance is you have a duff pump. Replacing the pump. The easiest thing to do is remove the 4 pipes from the Fuel pump, dont worry about breaking the the multicoloured clips (Green/Blue/Black/Grey), as these are supplied with the new fuel pump Remove the IN TANK FUEL PUMP SEAL, if you dont have the £200 tool to do this just tap it using a large screwdriver or chisel, the fuel pump will pop up once the seal is loosend. Refitting can be a little tricky. 1. Make sure the gasket is flush 1. line the pump up and push it all the way down into the gasket. 2. If you have no friends like me, then stand on the pump to hold it in place while you fiddle to get the IN TANK FUEL PUMP SEAL back on.

WayHay... I now have a driveable disco. just a couple of questions however:- 1. Can the IN http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/15937/3122/2/ESR3808-IN-TANK-FUEL-PUMP-SEAL.html be over tightened. 2. I seem to have a fair amount of grey smoke coming out would that be normal
