Land Rover suggest a slide hammer arrangement... but I know other people who have just levered them out with screwdrivers/pry bars (or even a 10mm allen key - cut into a pry bar shape).

You should swap the injector coding round too... but in the short term this won't make any difference.

If I re-start the engine then it runs fine - but not for very long (maybe 10 mins), after which it's back to 4 cylinders. My Nanocom reckons that injector 2 is having 'issues' - two error codes have been logged 'injector 2 open circuit' and 'injector 2 peak charge too long', does anyone know what these errors mean

I had exactly that fault on a TD5 Discovery. Running on 4 and the same error codes. Changed the injector loom and all fine. Have to clear the fault codes afterwards tho'.

 :D :D :D

45 quids worth of new injector loom and it's sorted ( [-o<)

I took the acoustic cover off, and unplugged the black connector at the front of the rocker cover - and oil virtually poured out of it. The oil has started to leak out of the loom at the red ECU plug, but it doesn't look too bad. I replaced the injector loom, cleaned out the connectors on the injector tops, cleaned the ECU and red connector, bolted it all back together, road tested and so far so good................

Oh yes, who said Td5's were 'not for the home mechanic'.

My missus couldn't understand why I needed the Nanocom when I bought it - my local Independant charges £40 a go to interogate vehicles with his Rovacom, I reckon I've got my money back several times over now !
