Dannytd5

I'm sure you got the go cart to stop her seeing the cb lol

Got a d2 td5 started mods about 12 months since notised stuff is more expensive than for a d1 Got a gardin none winch bumper Steering gaurd Front qt diff gaurd Roof spots Td5 alive chipped Egr removed Centre silencer removed Side exit exaust Lifted 3 inch Bigger tyres Uprated disks Face lift lights front and rear Removed ace That's about it but it's a on goin project

I'm having a simlar problem with my td5 can't keep it in a stright line wondering all over the road I'm convinced that the steering box has too much play in it on mine Danny

You end up getting that f@@ kin annoyed that you don't give a 5hit anymore and you rip the f47ker off Ask me how I know coat n gone lol

Metal brush on paint and build up a few coats thats what I've done

Yes it is I've got a adjustable drop plate to play around with I like park it and look at it to see if the trailer is sitting level befor I set off

I did that to my disco sounded beautiful but it were too noisey I had de cat. centre silencer Removal pipe n side exit pipe just a stright pipe What I did were cut the rear silencer out of the old pipe and the cut a secton out of the centre silencer removal pipe big enough for the silencer and weld it in and then refit the pipe Now it's took the like noise out at tickover and crusing but if I boot it it sounds well

I've towed quite a few different trailers all towed well Ifor box trailer twin axel always tows well as long at it were level even up to silly weights and feels that safe you feel like you could do the ton Caravan same size as ifor box but single axle but 30 year old worn hitch and nothing in it all over the place anything over 45 felt dangerous Ifor flat bed tri axle depends on loading but can be as good as box trailer or as bad as 30 year old caravan New caravan Twin axle 7.1meter big thing with silly alko squeaky hitch stabiliser thing absult rubbish tows carp all over the place tryed everything loading it nose heavy nose light with it set level with the nose down What I think the problem is caravans are built to be a house on wheels so more money is spent on making it look good not how well it will tow plus they are fitting fixed beds in the rear with lots of space to store stuff then a front locker for nice and heavy gas bottles so the front and back are heavy n the middle is light

I'm looking into getting a snorkel the thing is I can't decide which one Southdown I'm not keen on as its the stainless tube puts me off The mantec one I can see looking tatty after a few months metal tube and paint chips Safai lookalike now I can see this just sticking rain water down your air intake as the top horn is fixed to it Safai snorkel now my problem with that is some tea leaf nicking the top Now what I want it for is not really deep water wading I want it just incase I get it wrong and it's deeper than I thought So other than breather pipes what else do I need to move / silicone up

Nice bumper

I had a freelander used to tow with it not right heavy stuff only about 1200kg and I sold it and bought a disco 2 td5 and towed the same trailer and on the disco it's like it's not there I say go for it but a td5 can drink fuel

It were really good up till 6 months since Water pump went Radiator Top water hose Air bags Compressor Lots of bushes Abs light And finally the ace pipe burst List of parts carried ATF fluid Oil Anti freeze Spair water pump Different sizes of heater pipe Jublie clips Metal pipe to join heater pipe Metal putty Tape Fan belt Cable ties And a full tool kit I carry this lot everywhere I carry this everywhere

I've got a disco 2 and about 6 months ago it stoped being a reliable car and became a project I seam to be driving it looking at the dials every few seconds or listening for a noise that should not be there Everybody keeps saying to me why do you put up with it and my reply is it's a landrover and I like it It's like the boot is full of tools and spair parts just incase I need them but it's never failed it get me anywere and it's always got me home even tho I've spent ages at the side of the road fixing it Is it just mine that's like this or are they all the same

You have said what I were thinking to be honest I've driven it for a few days without the ace pump connected to the valve block I think then I'll scrap the whole lot n sell it an flea bay

My ace has been leaking for the last 18 months but in the last week it's started leaking loads now the pipe from the pump to the valve block has had it so I cut that and joined it to the return from the valve block giving the pump fluid to pump so it does not destroy it's self Now I'm wondering do I buy a new pipe or scrap the system as all the pipes look prity buggered Other one do I need anti roll bars for a mot I've run it like this for a few days and it drives ok rolls a little more but not much Also it's lifted about 3 inch with 32" tyres so I don't drive it like a loon
