Hi Just a follow up on the problem I had with the TD5 seems to run out of fuel, diffcult to restart, lots of smoke on restart, and then cuts out again. New injector loom fitted cleaned red plug no change New fuel pump fitted no change New fuel filter and housing with new air bleed valve. no change New crank sensor fitted no change New injector washers and seals fitted no change. The problem turned out to be the fuel regulator I did not change this as some guys on the forum said " there is no need to change the reulator unless it's leaking" so i asumed mine was ok as no leaks where visible. The guys at my local Land Garage say the the regulator sticks and looses fuel pressure. So if any one has this problem and looking at the forum there seems to be a few. Check the regulator first, before spending loads of money on spares that's are not need. Can I suggest that anyone who has resolved any problems, post the reslts of the fix on the forum, so we can all see what the problem was and how to fix it. Brian

Hi Had the same problem, and it slowly got worse, turned out to be a worn hub slightly out of true, suspect worn wheel bearing 2 new hubs fitted £60 each all now sorted. Brian

Hi All My land rover discovery 2 td5 has a fuel issue, it's difficult to start, once started runs fine, no dash lights, but after a mile it seems to run out of fuel, carry out the purge ( 5 pumps) takes ages for the engine light to stop flashing, when you try and start it, it churns over and try's to start with clouds of black smoke from the exhaust, then finally starts. After fitting new fuel pump started and ran fine for two days then when I went up a steep hill stopped half way up. Tried so far. New fuel harness new fuel pump cleaned ecu red plug copper washers just arrived fitting Monday. Any one had the same problem, any fixes or advice would be welcome. Regards Brian

Hi All If anyone is interested in a ABS Amigo V1-USB from RSW Solutions I have one for sale. Its a diagnostic tool for the Land Rover Discovery 2 and TD5 only. You can seen how it works on the RSW web site on You tube. It resolved my problems, as after many hours of searching for the ABS fault, and replacing most of the ABS system and brakes, purchased this from RSW in the USA and found the problem first time, it appears that some ABS leads that are not OEM are a tad longer 05mm and rub on the ABS pickup causing the fault, a small fibre washer resolved the problem 6 months on no lights. This ABS Amigo does not reset the fault codes only finds them. Also have a Land Rover Becker sat nav with discs and antenna removed from a 2003 TD5 but will fit any Discovery TD5 with a small addition of a speed wire connected from under the steering wheel and spliced into the sat nav harness, easy job. See TD5 web site for details. interested offers to phenix@manx.net Brian

Hi Thanks, Done that, and replaced both relays with new ones, shorted fuse 16 horns sound, shorted relay horns sound, but no power to horns from steering wheel buttons. (gasp) Thanks Brian

Hi all Got a real headache with my 2001 TD5, the horns and cruise control have stopped working, checked all connections to the horns an cruise control, both work when direct power is applied no vac leaks, changed rotary coupler in steering wheel, but still no joy. Has anyone ever had this problem as there seems to be a lot of threads on the web but no one has had a result. The only thing I can think of is the rotary coupler I got from Ebay may be duff, so I will try another one, but in the mean time anyone any ideas. Regards Brian

Hi all Looking for any info as to why my Discovery TD5 ( air bag suspention, renewed last year) has this strange knock from the rear on small bumps and on level ground smooth tarmac if you move the steering wheel slighlty from side to side you get a knock from the back on each roll of the body. Checked the watts linkage, exhaust, and most other joints and bushes with a bar but can not find any movement. Pushed the body from side to side still no knock, jumped on the tow bar, no nock. Any one any ideas as its anoying no being able to find this knock. Regards Brian

Hi All The steering/ignition lock barrel has failed on my D2 TD5. and needs replacing, I can get a new steering/ignition lock and drivers door handle all new, my question is do I need to get the keys recoded or will they work when fitted, any advice would be welcome. regards brian

Hi All Got a problem with my Disco 2 TD5, the ignition lock keeps jamming, the key will go in but not turn. when you try and start the car, needs a new ignition barrel lock. Question do I need to get the keys from the new barrel lock coded, or is it a straight swap, or will I have to keep my old door keys, any advice welcome. Regards Brian

Hi Had into the workshop for diagnostic check, nothing found no fault codes recorded,they removed battery and let it stand 20mins, reconnected battery no lights, 48hrs later still no sign of lights, mechanic says I have the TD5 gremlin in the ECU recommends I try a second hand ECU, and see if it cures the problem. Brian

Hi Ben Thanks for the reply, the only difference between the 3 amigos and my TD5 is I also have the hand brake warning light on. getting diagnostic checked tomorrow see what they say. Regards Brian

Hi all Has anyone had a problem with there TD5 where for no reason the hadbrake, abs, hill desent and traction control warning lights come on. This has happend before but if the ignition is turned off, key removed it resets to normal. Today they came on and will not go out, even diconnecting the battery for a period of time had no effect. The car runs as normal and every thing works ok. Any ideas ??. Regards Brian

Hi It's most likely you window regulator has broken common fault, easy repair parts available from DLS Matlock ro other LR outlet. around £30.00 Regards Brian

Hi If's it's the 2.5 BMW engine they tend to blow the head gasket, and there is no sign of oil in the water, but the crankcase gets pressurised with the exhaust gasses and oil is blown out of the dip stick. Remove the filter that comes out of the cylinder head and see whats coming out, on mine it waster, oil & steam. I cured mine with K Seal and it worked for 2 years and then I sold it still working ok. Hope this helps Brian

Hi Thanks for the info, found what I need to do. Regards Brian
