TD5 Power Loss
smo:
That quote suggests that after disconnecting the battery in a TD5 you need to put it on a testbook to make it run properly after??
Sounds like rubbish! I've changed batteries, done lots of wiring and bits in my 110 before i got the 90 and never had any problems after disconnecting for short or long periods of time.

Well I've had the battery on and off lots of time, but when I did the Starter Motor, I had it disconnected for several hours, normally it would only be a couple of minutes.

Just been looking and I would need to spend £1000+ for the modules for mine. Basic + TD5 + ABS + Alarm. Then obviously I need to buy the laptop aswell. I realise I could start with just the engine, and build up, but sooner or later I'd want the complete system. At that price it is a none starter.

Well it wasn't the battery being off. Had LR Assiastance out to it today, cos I got totally p*** off with it. The guy found faults on both the air flow and the crankshaft sensors. And a fault on injector 1. He cleared these. Checked the connections to them. Then I took it for a test drive. Fault is still there.
We then plugged his kit in again to find no faults registered!!!! His gut feeling was a faulty fuel pump. But wasn't sure. And neither of us could understand why the problem only occurs when the vehicle is warm.
Looks like I'm going to have to take it to the dealers :cry:

Been watching this thread with interest, as the Disco does not seem as quick as it once was (but then a Td5 auto is no rocket ship anyway !).
I've had the battery off both the Disco and 110, and never had to get the injectors recalibrated - think that might be a red herring.
But, a few weeks back the fuel pump in the Disco failed (got a lift home on a flat bed) - the AA reckoned on the auto box being shot, but after being home for 10 mins it dawned on me that I could not hear the whine of the fuel pump, sure enough fitted a new (spare that I had in the garage) pump and normal service was resumed. Apparently, the pump is a two-stage jobbie, there's a bit of low pressure (hence the truck would start ok, idle ok, and drive in first up to 15mph), but as it was the high pressure side of my pump that was knacked (no whine), it wouldn't go any faster.
Perhaps it is your pump - on the Disco you take out the boot carpet, remove a plate in the floor and out comes the pump. Just re-read your original post, hell knows how you get to the pump on a 110 - there's no nice little access plate in the boot floor !!!!!
