Now look at this image (sorry for the poor quality): Look to the top left of the filter on this image, that shows the black piece going into the back left union and if a check valve is installed in this location it will stop diesel running back into the tank via the pump low pressure side (i.e. the fuel pickup). Driving experience has been great. Good interior space, too. A few points of improvement needed: 1. Miss the signature square design 2. back mirror had dirty marks inside when first received (already replaced by dealer) 3. 2nd row seats not very easy to operate for 3rd row access (ours is manual). 4. Land Rover Discovery 2 - Problems to look out for - gordonbennet : I bought my year 2000 present Landcruiser 95 Colorado last Jan, the chassis looked rusty but still solid just surface rust which wire brushed stright off to reveal all solid, the bodies are very well protected from new. I had an oil leak on my Td5 back in January after an oil change. Traced it to the cam cover gasket leaking at the back end. There's a "half-moon" seal at the back too which has been known to leak. Left to me those would be the first places to check. There are two versions of the cam cover gasket, one for the 10p engine and the other for the 15p Discovery 2 Thermostat Coolant Hose. ★★★★★ (5 Reviews) £3.39 Inc. VAT. £2.82 Ex. VAT. PEH101110.

After 10 years with my old 2.5 td 110 I bought in 2003 a new td5 90. I am now at 80.000 km and no problems so far. But, checking the engine oil this time I noticed something strange: the level rises. I asked a few friends td5 owner and they told me this is due to fuel leakage in the engine oil. Theres a sheet somewhere on the Internet about this issued by Land Rover. I had the same problem with mine, The windscreen was refitted 3 times and it still leaked! The sheet says to reseal the top of the window behind the window seal cover along the top. The plastic cover is just to look at and serves no purpose. Turbo-Diesel: 2.5 litre (2495cc) 5-cylinder TD5.
