⛄ Land Rover Discovery Td5 Common Problems

Nov 13, 2013. #4. Run a temporary earth direct from the battery -ve to the ECU earth point. Also run a heavy temporary earth cable (you can use a boost cable) from the battery -ve to the engine block. If it solves your starting problem then you need to clean and tighten all the main earth points. The ould Disco is starting to break up! Our local main stealer has told us this morning that the cause of the misfire at 2500-3000 revs is "a magnetic field near the ECU which is causing oil to get into the harness and it needs both ECU and harness replaced" Total cost €730 plus labour (6 hours) VAT (21% over here) approx GBP 480 plus the South Wales. Jun 30, 2013. #5. I have a Discovery 2 TD5 ES, facelift model. Sorry for not introducing myself. I live in South Wales, and as the weather is getting like summer i thought i better sort out the Air Con to keep the kids cool. I have since foumd that the Air Con fan has siezed, and i need a new / second hand one. Common problems for the 2.7L TDV6 Diesel engine include:-. Seized or broken crankshaft – Characterized by a knocking or tapping sound from the engine. Broken oil pump casing that causes the timing belt to break off. It is advisable that when replacing the timing belt also replace the oil pump casing. The cable goes brittle with age and may be breaking inside, although this doesn't really fit with your symptoms. 6) Starter motor failing. Apa t from the obvious impact of a starter that isn't turning over the engine well enough to fire up, it may be causing interference to the CKP which is located in close proximity. From. $4,950*.

Document the problems with the car and any work that has been done on it since you’ve owned it and take them to JLR with a request that they advise you on what work they plan to do to fix the problems. If that doesn’t get a satisfactory response then go to your state consumer affairs office, or Most cars require the pump being replaced at the same time as the cambelt although this is chain driven, and the average price for water pumps on other cars is £30 ish. But I think over £80 is insane. As it happens I have a tiny amount of coolant being lost somewhere. So figured I might as well chance the lot. Location. Patagonia. Nov 27, 2010. #1. Back in July my Disco Td5 started misfiring & cutting out, not in the classic oil in loom way, but rather massively. Nanocom would show a scramble of the following fault codes: FAULT 27-01 injector 1 peak charge long (CURRENT) FAULT 27-02 injector 2 peak charge long (CURRENT) FAULT 27-03 injector 3 peak Jul 25, 2010. #3. As Dave says, it depends what you want the remap for. Boy racers tend to want extra speed, others want better low end power and torque. Talk to the mapper and say what you want to do, if he can do it, then you are on to a good bloke. If it's just a standard remap, then it's probably a copy file off E bay. Hi all, We have had issues with the ignition key not turning in the lock of our 2002 discovery TD5 and I have been all through the various Discovery forums looking for answers. I found various bits and pieces there but never found the full story although the fault is unbelievably common. So here is my version and the solution to it. The Series II Discovery range was launched in autumn 1998. Despite looking the same as the earlier car, the only common body panel was the rear tailgate pressing. There was an all-new Td5 in-line, five-cylinder 2.5-litre turbodiesel engine and a 4.0-litre V8 in place of the 3.9 - the slow-selling two-litre Mpi petrol model was dropped. TD5 Thermostat Replacement hell!! You may get better access through the inner guard panel. Hello all. I am having problems fitting the new thermostat. I am unable to get a good grip with my large pliers to move the clip enough to get the thermostat on. This is the water pump part of the thermostat. Beginning to look into the hesitation - one very common problem the TD5's suffer with is oil in the injector loom which seeps down to the ECU plug. The seal where the loom runs into the head can (and will) let oil past which manages to find its way down to where it terminates at the ECU. TD5's run a completely different cooling system to a standard vehicle. You need to understand how the cooling system works in order to find the fault. A standard vehicle pushes the coolant around the system. As pointed out above, if the thermostat jams closed it will lead to overheating. On a TD5 the waterpump SUCKS the coolant around the system. e5FoTK7.
