[D2 immobiliser/central locking issues]

Check main feed into fuse box under bonnet sometimes it’s loose.  Kev.

[TD5 Disco 2 stranded..immobiliser/alarm]

Check the 2 big wires on the fuse box near the header tank. Mine did the same thing in the car park had to go to the main Steelers and they couldn’t find it. I only found mine when the headlight started going on and off after every bump.

good luck Kev.

[The three amigos - the saga continues]

Don’t know how to send a link but YouTube,How to fix your disco 2Traction control and hill descent lights.Shows you how to do it

[The three amigos - the saga continues]

I could be wrong but the fault is a connection inside the block, and new wiring bypasses it. Loads of information if you google three amigos.  Kev.

[The three amigos - the saga continues]

I did the rewire mod 2 years ago, not had a problem since.Diagnostic also showed a shuttle fault before the mod. Try it only took 2 hours.

[What does this plug into?]

I have an 03 td5 auto and it’s not connected either or the black one with it,and there is no problems.

[2000 disco 2 locked out issue]

If you can open the bonnet check the main feed into the fuse box ,had axact same fault with my 2003 the nut was lose.  Best of luck Kev.

[2003 Discovery v8 Auto Gearbox Flashing Green M & S Lights]

This gearbox is electronic mechanical if the pair dont sink it goes into limp mode. Personal experience 2003 td5 auto first switch 30,000M second at 95,000M. Move stick slowly between D N R P see if the lights match stick position at the same time,if theres a delay its the switch. It mite clear if you move the stick back and forward quickly, ignition off. Short term only

[2003 Discovery v8 Auto Gearbox Flashing Green M & S Lights]

It sounds like the xyz switch ,look on eBay sure I've seen recons on there.A lot cheaper than new ones.

[EGR blank and removal]

The egr was £25ish from eBay plenty of choice there. The front pipe is I think Land Rover defender TD five Without cat

[EGR blank and removal]

I did my 03 auto 3 years past, it goes better than ever and more mpg. I would recommend it, no cat no egr well worth 2 or 3 hours work

[Strange Alarm Issue Disco 2]

[03'TD5 Drivers door lock dilemma !!!!]

[TD5 automatic oil cooler pipes]

Thanks for the replies fellas, i phoned Rimmerbros on the off chance to see if they could help me and got a result!!! they stock it.

The part should be here in a couple of days so ill be studying urban panzers pages to see how its done! Whilst talking about this issue does this happen a lot with TD5 autos cos il get this other pipe repaired rather than be off the road for any length of time.

[TD5 automatic oil cooler pipes]

Help, Whilst returning from a short stay in Northumberland this afternoon one of these pipes as burst off at approx 60 mph. You can imagine my horror at the side of the A1 when i pulled up with no drive on hard shoulder and the nearside of the disco and front of the caravan completely covered in dextron oil. Now ive been recovered and back in sheffield the situation looks a whole lot better mainly because im not getting nagged at,but where can i get these pipes from?.I normally use rimmer bros or paddock spares but they are'nt listed on any of these sites are they dealer parts only?. How long to replace?. Is there anything i should know before i start it. Thanks in anticipation.

[TD5 Auto won't go]

the td5 has a problem with water from the air con running down onto the gear selecter switch.when mine was removed it was red rusty and damp

inside,but only the M&S lights flashed and gear selecter lights did not show the same as the lever. the td5 makes a lot of water in climate control

and I had removed the one way valves to stop it wetting the carpets,this made it worse.

I hope this gives you a few clues.

Kev

[TD5 Auto won't go]

Hi folks, we have a TD5 auto in the workshop which sometimes goes, especially from cold. After a while the engine just stops and strange electrical things happen. These are:

Check engine light comes on, then goes off, etc

Red temp light comes on, temp gauge goes to 0.

Fuel pump runs erratically, switches off for a millisecond then back on again.

glow plug light goes on and off with the check engine light

Gearbox M and S lights flash

D indicator flashes on gearchange.

Auto gearbox fault codes from Rovacom are:

P1884 CAN MESSAGE WFPDK (DKI) INVALID (FFH)

P1843 CAN TIMEOUT MONITORING

P1842 CAN LEVEL MONITORING

P1884 CAN MESSAGE MD_IND INVALID (FLAG F_TL_MES)

While this is happening the engine will crank but not start.

We have swopped the engine Ecu for another with no change. Swopped the injector harness for a new one with no change. Checked the plug on the gearbox gear indicator switch.

Any ideas, anyone?

(Also posted on LRA in the hope that someone, somewhere has an idea)

[Discovery 1996 starting problem]

Ive encounted this problem on 1998 300tdi auto as well,we spent hours fiddling with egr ,edc etc before we eventually sussed it by accident!!!.The easiest way to check to see if its the ignition switch is to put hi/lo diff lock in neutral handbrake on,turn key to start-dont release and select drive this will disengage the starter and if its the ignition switch it will tick over, release the switch and the engine will stop.I just disconnected switch from the barrel and liberaly washed it inside with WD40 and packed it with grease.Hope this helps.Also advancing the pump by a degree or two will help it tickover better when cold.
