Thread: TD5 mounted at an angle

Bent something? Chassis?

Check your Gearbox mounts...

Newish engine and RH gearbox mount. I think it is meant to be like this but what were Solihulls finest Engineering Dept. thoughts behind this angled install?

Mine has a slight backward angle attitude, but nothing like yours

Sat a spirit level on my engine. It took a lift of about 9mm at the rear to level it. Nowhere near as great an angle as yours.

Definately looks not normal. I have an identical vehicle to look at to morrow so will report back.

All - your efforts are much appreciated! Note that my Discovery has a 2" raised suspension but can't see how that can affect that angle since engine and autobox are mounted to the chassis. Dinosaur: was your acoustic cover removed when you used the level?

haven't had spacers put in transfer box mountings to level out the output shafts from the transfer case have you ?
that would account for low level at the rear of engine.

mine was ifted 50mm too. shouldn't have that much
