  1. Had exactly the same issues with the 1/4 chassis I just did. Be warned this is no small/ cheap/ easy job. Ended up replacing loads of other stuff that had gone at the same time (mudguards, brake pipes, bushes). Having said that I'm very pleased with the result and the Disco will live on for a while!
  2. Also have the accelerator to the floor while trying to start up
  3. Nige, Sent you a PM.... not urgent. Dave
  4. What's wrong with that The brake pipe is lovely and straight!
  5. I'm using the stronghold hitch lock. I really like it, it's really well designed with minimal opportunities for the budding thief to remove it. Regardless on whether you can get your trailer out of sight or indoors, I really would recommend one of these
  6. Nige, Large black hoodie with white embroidery Large black polo with white embriodery 2 x mugs You should have just had a PayPal donation for supporters membership too
  7. New injector seals required I think. Make sure you clean the injector seats in the head well before you put the injectors back. Don't ask me how I know?
  8. Thanks. ACE isn't fitted on my motor so I'll just secure it out the way
  9. Over the past couple of days I've been doing some servicing and pre MOT work on my faithful TD5 disco. Whilst working in the right hand side of the engine bay I came across a stray terminal hanging down from the chassis leg. I've had a good look through the engine bay and can't find a terminal that it connects to. Unfortunately I haven't got a rave I can check it with. The wire colours on the terminal area yellow/black, yellow/pink and orange/grey. Can anyone shed any light. Thanks
  10. Any other markings on it mate? What winch is it attached to? A warn?
  11. I binned mine. It was a complete PITA. No regrets from getting rid of it either
  12. Have a look at this; http://www.woking.gov.uk/environment/envcrime/abandonedvehicles Most borough councils use the same power to remove vehicles from the road where the police have no power to do so
  13. I'm all for testing trailers. However I don't think that there are any changes on the table for this year. Trailer testing laws are still set out by the DVSA as; https://www.gov.uk/annual-test-for-lorries-buses-and-trailers/vehicles-that-must-take-the-annual-test
  14. Tanuki, A step by step guide here; http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Injector%20Seals.html It can be done without the LR tool and a heel bar will suffice if used carefully
  15. I found I had a blockage in the heater matrix, possible caused by K seal or similar. I flushed it out by having the hose pipe on full bore and alternating it between the two matrix pipes. A load of carp came out when doing this for about 5 mins. In relation to the fuel cooler, the water pipes are at either end. I had difficulty flushing it insitu and decided to remove it and do it on the bench which wasn't that big a job
  16. Have a look here; http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Injector%20Seals.html I used a long 6mm Allen key as a lever to gently remove the injectors
  17. Chris, Thinking of popping down to spectate for a bit on Sunday with the nipper. Any restrictions on spectators at all Dave
  18. Kai, Check the tightness in the fuel filter first. It may be worthwhile replacing it. If not the fuel filter, it may be the housing which can become porous or a slight leak on the fuel lines. I'd clean and dry everything in that area to see if you can pinpoint the leak
  19. I used a long Allen key, about 6mm iirc. Some of the injectors took a little more prising out than the others.
  20. I found that my filter housing had become porous. Another common fault are the pipes from the tank to the filter housing
  21. I've got waterproof covers from Town and Country. Very good fit, very good wear and tear wise. Will give you the 60/40 split
  22. BP watts linkage centre bush failed after 4 months and less than 3k miles. OEM part just ordered
