[Discovery Td5 Heater]

Dougal,

check your coolant level, td5s are sensitive to a low coolant level. i had same problem last year , perished hose so was leaking a bit.

[buying series 111]

hi guys

im normally on the disco forum with usual faults but im wanting a series 111 as a toy, ive seen a 73 series 111 with diesel engine 21/4. its quite rough and needing chassis welding otherwise not bad . question is whats it worth . no mot or tax. £500 sound too much??

there is rust forming round my side windows on the satin black metal bar that separates these, its a common fault as ive seen loads of discos with the rust bubbling underneath the rubbers. has anyone repaired this fault or touched them up/

[rear wiper (very interesting)]

hi guys

the rear wiper stopped working a couple of weeks ago on my w reg td5 disco. i stripped it out and found that i had power going to it, so decided to strip the motor down, i took the two small torx screws out and exposed the armature i found one of the brushes were jammed and after cleaning it up and refittig it now works perfectly, but the brushes were fairly worn. the wiper motor is made by(trico products) and i was looking to get new brushes any help ?

The common feedback is that it is normally the shaft that seizes but this wasent the case, its a shame to pay for a new motor when its just the brushes.

[bio-diesel]

hi guys

i ran my 300 tdi disco on bio for a couple of years , along with some plant i have jcb, benford dumper etc, everything seemed fine and i sold the disco , now have td5 which i dont run on bio, the reason being that some machines were poor to start, so after stripping down my lister engined logsplitter i found the tank was thick with gunge filters clogged and injectors clogged , i think this must be the bio additive strippin out lining

[d2/d3 wheels]

I guess you can probably get spacers to convert one to the other - you can certainly fit Td5 type wheels onto a Discovery Tdi by using the appropriate spacers.

Maybe they are the same PCD - I will try and find some at work to measure.

thanks Bogmonster,still trying to eliminate the wobble.

Ally

[d2/d3 wheels]

hi guys
