Whats your thoughts on a td5 disco?
muddyjames:
i get carried away going under water to have a v8! I used to have a v8 rangie and that drank fuel faster than i could fill it up!
suggs:
just noticed your other thread about the problems, isit changing gear as normal? , if you put it in low box and boot it it will go up the gears fast, if the gearbox is working as normal then theres every chance that the problem is elsewere in the drive chain, diff etc. could even be a dodgy tyre, make sure theres no bulges in them at the back etc, does it still do it in diff lock..
muddyjames:
put into diff lock with rear prop of and still does it. changed tyres to my grizzly claws and still did it so changed it back again.
when i go in 1st gear when cold it revs to 3k then drops to 2nd and bit ofa thud and off you go. always been like it for last 18months.
suggs:
you may have checked aslready but hub bearing, jack it up and shake the wheels, see if theres any play.
try to think back when it started, had you been off roading etc.
thing is if your going to fix it to sell it, then you may as well keep it..
check the turbo hoses, when they wear the collapse under load, this will restrict the power, hence adding silicon ones.
muddyjames:
drivers side bearings replaced very recently and then towed caravan about 100miles. other front wheel has small amount of play but landy mechanic (a chap on here too) said it is ok for a good few miles yet.
It has all started since towing caravan. Didnt do it with caravan on the back only when i unhooked then drove about 10-20miles. mainly came in when doing 50mph ish then slowly getting worse and speed is reducing on when it kicks in.
