Thread: Disco 2 classic 2004 Td5 any issues

Hi,

I have a 2003 D2a TD5 auto, so pretty much the same vehicle. It has done 136K and we've had it for a bit over 4 years.

The things I've had to do are as follows:

Replaced starter motor
Put in double cardon joints (preventative)
2 x fuel blocks (pressure regulator)
Replaced engine mounts (last service)
Central locking actuator
Replaced leaking plastic radiator bleeding bung with a brass one.

Things that are being watched:
3 amigos (common problem with plenty of information on this site)
Leak from transmission (apparently common and caused from groove or elongation of housing around tranfer case main shaft - to fix properly/prevent happening again, estimate $1800)

That's all I can think of for now. If i recall anything else I'll post it up.

For those of you in the know feel free to correct my explanation of things.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

I have a 2004 D2a TD5 which was purchased only about 5 months ago. It's a Classic Town and had 83,000km on it when I picked it up. It's now sitting around 94,000km and it's been a perfect car. I've had absolutely zero problems with it and touch wood, nothing's gone bang yet.

I have however done a few mods to it including ARB front locker, 2" raised suspension, Safari snorkel, ARB side steps, ARB Sahara bull bar, front & rear diff guards, new Terrafirma steering damper, roof racks & awning.

As a preventative thing, I've also put a new Rotoflex in but that's about it. It's never skipped a beat and the only majopr service I have had to do is the factory 90k service. In saying that, I'm about to do a 5k oil & oil filter change before the next major service.

I think as long as you look after and maintain it properly, you won't have any problems with them. I love my TD5 and the 2004 is the last of the D2's so most of the problems have been rectified by LR already.

Good luck with the TD5! They are awesome trucks!

Cheers,

Ernie.

This may help - I attached a file "Buying a TD5 auto" in

the system won't let me re-attach it

Hi Martin.

I have an 02(feb) build 2004 Td5 Auto Classic .... It's been a brillaint vehicle!

Had it for 3yrs now, bought at 120k, up to 163k .... failures account for 1 x top radiator hose (partially my fault with the bleed screw ... but they (screw) do fail, and a PS reservior to PS pump supply hose .... rubbed through on sump). Both simple driveway home repairs.

Apart from regular services & upgrades, these are my only two failurs in 43k ....

The late facelift D2a Classics are the pick of the D2 series .... Just ask Stevo68

Didn't know MY2004 models were built in 2002

I thought it was fairly obvious Kev was saying 02/2004 or Feb 2004.
