From what i`ve been told by my mates at bearmach and my other mate who works for stradstone this kit does`nt always work.My box as always groaned at full lock(02 def) and has a drip on the drop arm but no foaming in the res. This has been (NORMAL ?) with the landrovers for years.
... I believe that the repair kits are grand for the pumps up to and inc the 300 tdi but that the Td5 is a sealed unit (tho mine isnt cos its dripping on the drive at the mo) it has only started to leak in the past week, the frothing could be down to the pump drawing in air at the seepage point and it groans right accross the steering arc (01 Def), but i still need the "how to remove/refit instructions...
-
Right looks like new pump required, problem is ive searched the Rave CD and cant find the step by step removal and refitting. I can see where it mates onto the water pump but there isnt a section for the PAS on the CD..Anyone got this or a link to same..Ta Mike

Mine has always made groaning noises when stationary. Ok, its a Tdi, but all the pumps are similar except for the directions of rotation.
And none of them are repairable.
Thanks lads ...guess its soon to be a new pump so...!

Is there a repair kit for the steering pump on the Td5..Getting a groaning noise when steering especially when stationary, slight dripping from underside of pump and upon checking the resevoir a frothing/bubbling to the steering fluid...Or should i just dump and replace..? Mike

Guys im debating whether to convert a '97 V8/LPG auto into a diesel drinker..Its a very clean example but is this do-able or worthwhile and can the existing auto box be mated with a 300/200 tdi.......Any links.....Thkx Mike

....Scary to see the power in the backfire. It was the same on mine tho the K&N air filter is intact , the blow back valve has sealed itself shut ...twice and still managed to destroy the rubber ring and the bonnet lining...But your right about the HT leads ..and the distrib cap and correct plugs...Anything that causes the timing to sneez will throw out the gas.....LPG backfiring can also be caused by faulty HT LEADS.check all leads are in good condition BEFORE replacing parts.
The resulting explosion blew the intake pipe off, the airbox into 3 peices and a nice hole in the bonnet (hood) lining.

Guys any idea where i would get the diaphram (looks like an orange wide rubber band) that goes around the air flow meter on my gas/petrol V8 air intake system....Engine is backfiring at random causing this band to blow off and confuse the ECU thus causing a stall and a stubborn restart. Band has now snapped and can't locate one this side of the pond..I dont have access to the vehicle at the mo so dont know gas system but i believe its not the "Landerini or the Tartarini(apologies for the spelling) systems.. Ta ta in advance..Mike
Thanks lads have part winging its way to me much oblidged....Pic of the offending part(under the gaffer tape)

Hi guys, any kind soul out there living in or near Peterborough Cambridgeshire (about 10 mins from Peterborough train station) would like to give a '95 Discovery ES with lots of miles done, the once over for me..Has busted header tank but owner says head gaskets good. Possible bunged up radiator causing the header tank problem..Possible rust in the usual places..Save me a lot of hassle to know before heading over whether its a dog....Thanks in advance. Owners contact details available by PM..Mike
-
Hi Grommit...and welcome back to CLRI....Don't start me. I've only been buying gaskets and other teeny things from my local dealer. Anything else I either wait for it on ebay, if I can, or get it from the UK online sellers, if they have it.Astounds me the prices they charge and get away with here.

256 euros for an injector harness? They are having a laff, they should cost about £40 and you can fit it yourself with a couple of sockets and no more than an hour's labour, the harness doesn't need anything fancy to fit only if you change injectors or ECU. But the injector harness misfire is usually absent when cold, then gets worse when hot and stays worse, all the ones I can recall seeing are quite predictable like that, once it starts to fart and jump around it stays farting and jumping, doesn't come and go while driving.
It could be a dud ECU, they do go pop, though mostly only the very early ones 99/00 sort of vintage.
It could also be a problem with the crank sensor, as if the ECU loses the engine speed/position signal it will have a panic attack
Really you need to know what fault codes are logged otherwise you are a bit in the dark with tracing it. I don't know what a dealer would charge to give you a fault code check but it only takes 5 minutes to do so should not be too pricey? Doesn't need to be a main dealer, could be done by an independent with Autologic or similar kit.
Thanks BM i'l get that done..Makes sense as you have stated it cud be any number of things wrong. Always knew we were being ripped off over here when it comes to genuine parts....B&%t£ds...

Its a 2001 and yes your right i did have trouble with the injector loom, as discussed on this forum ealier in the year. The solution at the time was 1. Replace the loom with a newer type that was "supposed" to prevent oil leaking into the loom, and due to the replies from members this method didnt work that well either or 2. Seal up the injector loom harness as it exits the rocker cover.. opted for method 2 as the initial trial as opposed to handing Irish Landrover dealers €256 & Vat, only to have the problem re-occur....So what to do...eh. Bite the bullet and fork out and take a chance or has anybody discovered another remedy...Heres hoping...MikeWhat age is the motor? could be a faulty injector wiring loom??????? -
Hi guys, engine management light ? first one on the left(in a Td5) glows orange upon start up then goes out...Well with a mind of its own decides to come on and engine dies, miss fires but mostly re-fires in transit(very embarrassing and highly dangerous at 60 mph) and occasionally stopping or stopped at traffic lights..Upon investigation and enquiries this problem was initially solved by renewing the yellow relay (the one on the left beside the main fuse board under the drivers seat) as this one could be heard clicking in and out at the same time the engine dies....I say initially solved cos its doing it again now and with alarming regularity....Anyone experiance the likes of this before and/or any solutions..Thanks Mike

Running fine thank god ( touch wood)....
-
hehe that would be more fun but unfoprtuantly can't be done due to still not fixed!!
Shame eh, but look at the bright side....440 miles towing a Passat....at wot ? 15 miles to the gallon....thats bout thirty gallons of bubbly....Yikes.. be cheaper to post the hybrid...Now theres an idea..some kindly truck driver heading North.... Mike
-
well thats what i was thinking. i was going to be using an A frame to eliminate the weight of a trailer.. ah well looks like i will just have sell passat and get my ass a disco!
Or tow the Passat with the hybrid....Much more asthetically pleasing....
-
Thats same as mine did, I tried a repair but it was intermittent, so fitted a new one.
Uk Landrover Dealers......£65+ uncle sam's wedge.............Eire Landrover Dealers €96 + uncle sam's wedge (bout the same).... The unmentionable auction site....£8.45 inc P+P and no wedge to uncle sam....Come on Mr Postman........Now what to spend the rest of the lolly on that i told herself it would cost ! Mmmmmm
-
Thats what happened to mine, the stud shrank back into the plastic.
Jas
Yeh thats the shagger Jas, now if i knew somebody with very small fingers, a copper brazing rod and the patience of a saint...Me tinks Ralph is right, replace and save my hair for another problem ! ....Mike
-
i have had the same problem twice with mine in 7 yrs. they arent cheap switches though.................
Tell me about it, and over here the suppliers think that they can charge more cos there is less of them (the suppiers that is)....Frustrating thing is the switch is just a series of copper stud contacts...no electronics or circuit boards ...very simple....Mmmmmmm. .....Mike
-
Easy bin that switch & fit a new one,
LR part AMR6104 from VIN VA104806
or
PRC3430 upto VIN VA104805 also Lucas switch SQB129 will fit vehicles upto this VIN.
Thanks Ralph, it will have ti be a LR part...Lucas dropped outta here a while back...Ta ! Mike
-
Not for me, I think my first post on "the other forum" was called, "Lucas, lord of darkness"
I was doing 110km/h (70mph) on an unlit motorway, at 4am on a moonless night...
scared the cr@p out of me
Anyway, it was under warranty at the time, when I took it back to the LR $tealer
they fitted a headlight relay. I strongly suggest that you do the same.
regards
Matthew
Ok...had the switch out just three wires and five (or was it six) little copper contacts and three positions to select...Mechanically it seems fine is making contact and is not loose within the housing. Gave it a squirt of contact cleaning fluid but same result........Swopped the relays around(RM6D) to no avail....but i have discovered when i select position one...normal lights...as i slowly ease the lever forward i get the desired result but as the switch clicks home to second position ....blackout...dash/tail/parking the lot...Head scratching stuff lads what next ?......Mike
-
Sounds like the switch has got too hot & partially melted, mine did a similar thing, quickest & easiest fix is a new switch, it's not worth the effort to attempt a repair, but I did try on mine & gave up cos it wouldn't work all the time.
Thanks Ralph yet again to the rescue...Serves us right, the Dept of Transport came up with not so new idea of incouraging Irish motorists to drive with lights on at all times...They never enforced it but I got into the habit (and probably a good one) of having lights on at all times so there ya go !!! .Mike
-
Ok heres a new one, for me anyway....Ya just get one thing fixed (ignition relay had mind of its own) and.....Headlight switch Td5 90 (2001). Stage one ...side lights and main headlights on low..works fine ! Stage two ..side lights and main headlights on low beam...Well this evening, stage two has gone from what it should be... to no lights out front at all and the dash lights go out just to add injury to insult !!! Any clues guys .....Mike

procomp are good for the money imo.
only thing to check on your shocks u r goin to bolt on is that on full compression of the suspension that the shock can go short enough
Just finished fitting paras 3 leaf on the rear 2 on the front to my 88" , using the 109" shackles and a set of ES 3000 pro-comp(as advised by the members a couple weeks back), Im running on 235/85/16 Ironman Muds and have gained 3" of clearance over the standard set up. Advantage of the pro comp is that you dont have to make a plate for the shock, it fits straight on to the original bottom mount. Much more flexible off road and that little bit comfier on road... Good Luck !
