    I have had a leak from my TC for a long time now ...

    i have a td5 2000 disco
    thanks in advance

    Right on the back you will see a 12mm square internal plug. I used an extension bar with a ratchet and it's a bugger to get at.

    The main problem I find is the flexible (not) cable that you have to negotiate to get to the plug.

    The hot muffler does not help at all!

    Now where is that engineer that designed that ?

    An extension bar helps a little.

    a 12" long x 1/2" wobble drive works fine. Gets around the handbrake drum.
