250,000km Service

[jasonharrison]

My D2 TD5 has almost reach its 250km mark and has only had an oil, air and fuel filter change since I've owned her.

I'm planning on doing a somewhat detailed and thorough service and check including changing of:

auto fluid and filters
engine oil and filters
diff oils
transfer box oil
air filter
greasing of propshafts and joints

Is there anything else that I'm missing here? How does everyone else go about their servicing?

I've done the fuel filter about 8000km ago and believe it shouldn't have to be changed for a while now.

I confidently have a service history up to early 2014 and since then the vehicle has done less than 40,000km.

Cheers!

Plus other long term preventative items if not been attended to yet:

Remove and clean alternator and change brushes
Replace starter motor contacts
And if going remote, change fuel pump if it's original
Check usual Td5 items including fuel pressure regulator for leaks, fuel hose rubbing near from top of fuel tank, injection harness for oil where it joins engine harness, harmonic balancer condition.

Also that little coolant hose beside turbo up against engine block, the rubber doughnut on rear drive shaft.

Check your air con hoses where they can rub through on the engine mount, wires along front of the head insulation can break down from the heat off the EGR valve.

Bolts that hold the counter weight behind the park brake drum these come loose, check the mounts too.

Buy your self a Haynes owners workshop manual. Service routines are laid out in detail.

Centrifugal filter?

I downloaded RAVE the Land Rover service-workshop manual. I print out the bits I need. I accidentally printed 840 pages of this at work!!

Get RAVE, from the usual suppliers and also get microcat.

I have RAVE, which I use often. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Haynes details the recommended service intervals, eg;

every 6000 miles or 6 months

every 12000 miles or 12 months

every 24000 miles or 2 years, whichever occurs first

every 36000 miles or 3 years, whichever occurs first

every 48000 miles or 4 years, whichever occurs first

every 60000 miles

every 72000 miles

every 96000 miles

every 15 years.

I stick as close as I can to the schedule, and I use RAVE to supplement the Haynes. My D2 has 396000 KM's on the clock, fingers crossed, much more to come.

@bob10

Is there much different between the RAVE and the Haynes manual?

I do have a copy of the RAVE manual on my computer but found it much easier to just use the PDF of the Discovery 2 Workshop Manual.

I find the Haynes good for things like what actual maintenance routines are carried out at the recommended mileages. Also the descriptions of maintenance carried out is helpful. RAVE is good for explaining how the TD5 works. For example, the cooling system, one of the most complicated I have seen, is explained in RAVE, even though it took me a while to get my head around it. Also, in the engine management system part of it, the explanation of what happens when individual bits fail [ fuel relay, start relay, etc] helps take the fear out of the electronic trickery. Basically, Haynes is for the average Joe, RAVE is for the mechanic. Just my opinion. Combine them with this forum, and you have it covered.
