    td5 playing up again

    I was looking for a bit advise as to if I need to replace the whole barrell and key and if the key and barrell had a common fault, it seemed strange that it worked fine yesterday and locked up today

    yes I did check the service history prior to purchase but have never been able to contact the previous owner

    sorry about the rant but this thing is peeing me off

    had this vehicle 8 to 9 weeks already had to change the fuel regulator, change the starter motor auto trans appears a bit suspect the starter motor I wonder if it will last 6 months the way things are going

    I dare not drive it more than 10 k's from my house as that is about as far as I am prepared to walk think I will put the kids bike in the back for a spare
    Cant help with the lock issue but welcome to the TD5 world. We have a nice 03SE7 TD5 disco for sale with a good ignition if your interested.

    just wait till it does something important for you....

    like getting your pregnant wife to hospital past a bogged mitsoyatasan..

    using a childs plastic hammer and a gunners tube of gprahite powder spray a little graphite into the lock tap lightly with the plastic hammer the blow off with a compressed air gun.

    worked for me on fozzy.


    but to be fair fozzy's probabley about 30 years older than your truck.

    Hi Thorby,
    The barrel in my D2 plays up now and again. Squirt a bit of graphite powder into it and then work the key in and out of the barrel. In respect to your Landy's other faults, all vehicles develop faults and maybe the previous owner knew that they were disposing of the car so were reluctant to spend any money on it. Hang in there and it will be a love story with a rough start.
    Cheers,
    Anthony.
