Recently a mates TD5 disco was put to rest as a result of the dreaded oil pump bolt, as a result of this I was prompted to check mine. What I thought was going to be a long and painful day turned out to be a very productive day for both the Disco and our kids. Armed with some guidance from the net and the parts we needed we set off to check the offending bolt on our 2003 TD5 Disco. I wasnt looking forward to addressing this issue in our drive however with my DA's (dads assistance in tow, two boys 8 and 6) thought it would be a good way to kill some time during the school holidays and get the kids out of the house. Both boys got hands on, filthy and had a ball, we found that the bolt was only hand tight so addressed that with some loctite 263 and were working so well together that we not only managed to fix the bolt, but changed the engine and all the drive train oils and filters and completed the job in around 6 hours.
Boys learnt a little, had some fun and are now keen to have a crack at mums Jeep, mums not to sure about that yet. If you get the chance involve your kids you'll have a ball.
