  1. This is what you want http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listi...plug&page=1
  2. Quite possibly? But the fact that a main dealer is prepared to replace 5 of them FOC says it all really!!
  3. At but the real purpose of the TD5 MAF is to tell Testbook that there's a fault when there really isn't!! Had three new genuine new ones and it still says there's a fault!! I heard of one customer who tried 6 from LR before he found a good one. Luckily LR accepted that they were shi*e so replaced them FOC.
  4. If you ring a LR Main Dealer that has worked on the car before (and therefore has it on their computer records), and can give them the VIN, they will give you the code over the phone. I was sceptical but read this advice on a forum and needed my code so tried it and after a 3 minute phone call, I had it with no charge. Not great security though? Simon
  5. Cheers Zulublue! Now I'm wondering whether it is the pump and not the box!! I definately have bubbles in the reservoir when the engine is running so your explanation could explain why there was fluid on the underside of the bonnet and I can't get the box to leak on full lock?? Think I'll change the pump first and go from there? Simon
  6. I'm struggling to locate a suitable 3 bolt box. My local specialist says they are becoming harder to get suitable ones because of the age and lots are too worn to rebuild. Is the 4-bolt a straight replacement or should i keep looking for a 3-bolt one?? Thanks, Simon
  7. Apologies...I'm getting confused!!! It's the box thats leaking rather than the pump so my question is whether that needs replacing and how easy a job it is. Ta.
  8. I've been having the same problem on my 1985 90. But this morning after taking her out with the usual lack of assistance (and a bit of squealing), I noticed a poll of steering fluid on the drive and when I opened the bonnet it looked like is had been forced out under pressure as it was everywhere. But once its warm, its fine and I've tried to test in on hard full lock but there's no sign of a leam now, so I don't where its failing? I guess this must be a knackered pump?? Is replacement a doable job for a novice whose willing to have a bash? Simon PS. I guess this one takes priority over my heater!! The list gets longer........
  9. Many thanks...most helpful. Yes, I did search but couldn't find the specific info. Will have a go tomorrow!! Simon
  10. I need to sort out my heater in the 90. Not so much because it's bleedin' freezin, more so that I can see out of the windscreen. The fan lever to the lhs of the instrument binnacle is the culprit. It's always required herculean effort to move it to the point where I fear it would bend, but it now seems pretty solid. Where is it likely to need easing? Behind the dash or somewhere else?? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks, Simon
  11. I noticed today that the hinged fuse box cover below the steering column was rattling and on closer inspection the LH receiver for the turnbuckle catch is completely missing so the cover is only secured on the right hand side. I can't see how a new receiver would fix to the fascia? Had a quick look on Microcat and it looks like there are two parts, a bracket (BTR4264) and the receiver (AFU4131) but the exploded diagram is too small to see how the bracket attaches? Does anyone know how this fixes on before I order the parts? Thanks, Simon
  12. Thanks..that's what I like about this forum. Not precious and everyone so willing to help. I have saved a fortune by from the advice given by those more knowledgable than me, so have happily made a small donation. Cheers, Simon
  13. Thanks a lot..that's put my mind at rest. Yes, it stops at standstill. Ta very much. Simon
  14. I'm really sorry if this is a stupid question but until my just acquired Disco TD5, I have never owned a diesel (always hated 'em before I found Land Rovers!) Mine is an auto and when I cruise to a stop at a junction for example with no load at all on the engine and no throttle, rather than the engine revs dying off cleaning it "chugs" or "hunts", for want of better terminology. Everything else runs fine and smooth, Is this a normal characteristic of a diesel or is something amiss? Thanks, Simon
