Thread: Raising boost on a td5

How do I get to the basket filter ? Never had a look there ? Thanks again. Matt.

It is under the fuel pressure regulator. When the fuel pressure regulator is removed you see a fat Oring in the head. The basket filter is under the oring.

Thanks Philip, is it a tough 'get to' job ? I bought a second hand unused Cooper Tyre just before Xmas and as it turns out he was a Disco owner, lived 10kms away, same year, diesel model and colour !! He has had his tuned also, so going to take mine over in next couple of weeks and drive each others and compare notes.


I will get there eventually ! Was driving over the Xmas period and have decided to dream that I want to get more performance out of the TD5 as my New Year Resolution, I want to keep my Disco forever, the 3's and 4's do not excite me enough (maybe a 5 one day), and I just love the look of the 2, no plastic, real car.


So I think the next two jobs will be firstly to upgrade the torque converter as Mike has suggested, or replace, and then fit an uprated intercooler. Having got rid of the EGR, Mid box, and with fuel stage 2 re-map, I think they are the next best mods to do at a reasonable cost ?


But I will firstly have to follow through and check out the basket filter.


Happy New Year all. Matt.
