les many thanks for this comprehesive account of things to watch out for alot of good advise here................thanks if the 75/90 is a better spec oil then i will use it, and when my 90 needs the oil in the axles changed then the sae oil will do many thanks to everyone, thats why i ask my questions on this forum

hi getting prepared for next week to do a full service on my td5 04 discovery, i do all my own work so any advice is greatly apprecated, i have rebuilt several landy 90 and worked on my old disco 1 i plan on changing all the fluids, i have most oils, just a quick question, the manual says to use 75w/90r oil in the transfer box and axles, is this the same spec as EP90? which i have loads of i want to change the brake fluid as well, is this just a matter of draining and replacing the brake fluid? or is there and electronic reason that i need to be watchfull of? the antifreeze calls for OATS some type of corrosion inhibitor, what product has this? many thanks Ivan

qrover dont have a handbook (yet) dont have a workshop manual for this td5 landy (yet) just purchased the landy and getting ready to do full service ready for the winter.................but thanks for your input

les well the same oil will do over here.................many thanks

hello what type of engine oil is used on a discovery td5 04 plate many thanks

thanks to everyone for the info changing the axle might be the quickest way to go, will see..............thanks

ejparrott he has just broken them, i have not yet seen what is broken, i think its the cv joint, but might also be the halfshafts as stated just doing my home work so i can help him when i get back, if its just the one cv then clearly a new one is the cheapest option. as i had a spare axle i was just checking if it would be quicker for me to change as i do all his work, and at no cost to my mate................ many thanks

K88MUD so will the disco axle fit straight onto the 90? i will not be able to get a look at either axles until next week, i am just doing my homework to see what would be the cheapest solution for him, again thanks for the info

hello my mate has broken his CV joints on his 1987 90 TD, quick question i have a spare axle from a 1992 200tdi Disco 1, can i use the CVs and shafts of this axle to help him out and rebuild his axle?????????????????????? many thanks

Bogmonster many thanks for this information its what i need, i do not want to bling the motor just have a good set of wheels from your info i will be staying with the 18" wheels and now finding what are the best (affordable) tyres i can get........................again many thanks

hello dont want to hi-jack this thread but on my D2 which i have just bought i have 255x55rx18 tyres, i was hoping to go to 19" wheels and tyres 1) is there any point? 2) what wheel and tyres would fit? 3) if i stay with the 18" wheels can i fet wider and taller tyres ON ROAD USE ONLY (for now) many thanks

Hello i have found information on this forum on how to wire in the trailer 12N electrics on my Disco 2 TD5 the connection is behind the r/h rear light cluster so that should be no problem. But where can i wire in the 12S socket for my caravan? is there another connection somewhere at the rear of the disco? maybe someone else has carried out this wiring and point me to the easiest way to connect the 12S socket outlet? many thanks

Cipx2 many thanks for the info

Cipx2 many thanks fo rthe info

Hello i would like to find a pdf copy of the Disco TD5 parts list for my 2004 disco, does anyone have a copy they could send? or post a link? or even the disco TD5 accessories catalogue? i had these for my defender etc and found them very useful for part numbers and ordering........................many thanks Ivan

western on my 300tdi i have just installed QT 3 degree cranked radius arms to compensate for the 2" lift kit. what i was thinking/planning i want to rebuild the axle on the 300tdi, ie diffs, shafts, CVs, wheel bearings etc over a few months, but what i didn't want to do was have the 90 non driveable for a long time, so as i have a spare disco 200tdi axle i was going to rebuild it and just swap over with the minimum of down time on the 90, if you get my drift? i would hate to rebuild the disco axle to find out it was not a good fit on the 90??? many thanks Ives

hello as its says will the front axle from a 1992 Discovery 1 200tdi fit onto a 1996 Defender 90 300tdi??????????

many thanks to everyone for the info, thats the way i will go

hello next weekend i want to change the clutch in my old 90 (now driven by son in law) that has had a 200tdi disco transplanted engine and box, can i fit a 90 V8 clutch i am looking to fit something heavy duty and help please many thanks

many thanks everyone for the information i see its just not as simple as bunging in a few higher wattage bulbs

western many thanks
