Update to this saga. Booked Disco into local garage that does a lot of Land Rover work to have the clutch system bled through. Took them ALL week to finally get it resolved so it was either a pig of a job to do, or there's some small underlying issue that may well surface again in the future.

TD5 TDV6/8 TDCi Puma Freelander Threads Land Rover Discovery 2 - Problems to look out for - gordonbennet : I bought my year 2000 present Landcruiser 95 Colorado last Jan, the chassis looked rusty but still solid just surface rust which wire brushed stright off to reveal all solid, the bodies are very well protected from new.

My TD5 gearbox is difficult on gear selection, sometimes no bother but more often than not its difficult to get into 1st gear and reverse gear, 2nd a little difficult but the others no problem, there seems plenty of bite on the clutch and its not slipping. I thought this was normal until i drove a mates td5, it was so TD5 is not OBD compliant for your diagnostic port so you need to spend the money on Nanocom, Hawkeye or lynx to read faults and correct them. 2 visits to a main-stealer will cost the same I expect so get your own. Then you’ll most likely have your codes and then your reason for the problems. Introduce yourself here. 154 Topics. 620 Posts. Last post Re: New Member. by Mark B. Thu Nov 23, 2023 10:45 am.
