Discovery 2 TD5 Injector Seal Change. 10P Engine. (Big Lollopy Dog)

[@nicksteele3068]

I bought a discovery 2 and I seem to be watching this channel a lot learning how to fix things that I had previously did not even know existed!!! Thank you very very helpful!!!!

[@sleepycatpictures1176]

Good Luck with it. I hope you enjoy your tinkering!

Respect to you sir for not editing your mistake out (rocker not seated correctly) so that we may all learn!

[@sleepycatpictures1176]

That was a really tedious mistake which I should have spotted, but it was late, dark, and I was tired.!

Maravilha eu tenho a Discovery 1 ano 98 e fiz TD isso graças a seu vídeo ... Me ajudou muito um grande abraço.

[@sleepycatpictures1176]

Obrigado, fico feliz em ajudar. Eu pensei que um '98 Disco 1 seria um motor 300 TDi não o TD5?

Great video, really helpful. Just 1 question though.. is it the injectors themselves that are coded to the ECU or does the ECU just send the signal to fire down the loom and the injectors are generic and can be fitted in any sequence? Many thanks.

[@sleepycatpictures1176]

The injectors are coded to the ECU. They must go back in the same places they came out of. That's why I did them one at a time!

[@rapscallion7738]

Sleepy Cat Pictures brilliant, thanks for that.

[@davidhuett3579]

if you look at the top of the injectors .. the codes are written on top of them. Make a note of which code goes with each cylinder. I get in the habit of actually taking photos of all BEFORE starting to dismantle. If you're changing injectors .. keep in mind there are different colours .. eg. 'green top' for the 15P EU3 engine. They are not interchangeable as far as I am aware.

[@intestinalworm1202]

@@davidhuett3579 Yes, not interchangeable.

[@UKSCIENCEORG]

How do you know this job needs doing? What are the symptoms? Cheers. Edit: i should have read the description notes!

[@sleepycatpictures1176]

The engine oil level goes up as it gets thinned down by the diesel.

[@intestinalworm1202]

When you check your oil level with the dipstick you should (apart from slight level increase) detect a distinct diesel fuel smell on the dipstick - follow your nose!

[@big5astra]

At 47:54 when you adjust the contact on the "valve" stem: With the cam all the way to the top, you back off the screw one turn and lock in place. If you do this adjustment, then surely screw side of that rocker arm will never touch the top of the "valve" stem (because the cam drops away during the rest of its rotation). I'm most probably understanding it wrong....

[@sleepycatpictures1176]

That's just to make sure there is enough clearance so the stem is never in permanent contact. Like rocker valve clearences.

[@big5astra]

@@sleepycatpictures1176 Just thought that with the cam at the highest position on the opposite side of the stem that when the cam lobe then drops away, the adjustment screw goes even further away from the stem (so it will never touch the stem no matter what the cam position is).

[@sleepycatpictures1176]

@@big5astra Ah, don't forget that the screw is all the way to the bottom, so it's open to the max. Then you back off to create clearance.

[@big5astra]

@@sleepycatpictures1176 I think we're talking "past" each other a bit - and I may well not be understanding fully what's going on with the rocker settings for the injector. But it's nice to chat anyway!! I've done lots of rocker settings on my own (old) cars so I understand the requirement to have clear space between the rocker and the valve stem at the point where the valve should be completely closed - but I'm still a bit baffled here. I'll try to explain why a bit better. Sooo, I can see when you rotate the cam so the highest point of the cam is pushing on the roller thus pushing the stem down on the opposite side of the rocker arm to the maximum depressed position. All good so far! Now you seem to back off the adjustment screw to completely get rid of any depression of the stem and back it off a further turn. So the cam is at its highest point pushing the rocker down as far as it can on the injector side. But you've adjusted it so the adjustment screw is not touching the stem on the injector side. With this scenario, how will any change in the cam position ever be able to depress the stem on the injector side if it doesn't touch the stem at all even when the cam is at its highest point? Hope you can see my "dilemma"!! and apologies for the rather lengthy description here :)

[@sleepycatpictures1176]

@@big5astra Ah, I think I see. It's probably me that has not explained properly. Screw the adjuster down until it 'bottoms out', then back off one turn. The injector is still under tension at that point, just not all the way to the bottom.

[@nicholaswilks2194]

Hi, what tool were you using to remove the injectors?

[@sleepycatpictures1176]

The official £100 tool. Although to be honest, a kind subscriber lent me one. I would have bought the proper one though. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362187085940?hash=item5454085874:g:FaQAAOSwH3haMpuT&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8JjXOyBz6yPmMyGmgDl7%2FsW7KF7aY04PRNBS4TWUNB7jIkANaJMfGX%2BhhI1KmoPHWEpwXKs9kmd0W3GqXswtun9Ttm83XgYPTnDcras09e%2F1rfk3t0m6h5b81jlmPCksWVx8Fe0MUeQMIGK0NI1OeKjuoKpW2swzJgDmKdaLOZ8wIpUGf%2BrOPStW0EmsZH7dyBfWF7BX%2FYzCyed3WP%2FIGSTwRzwsjRpZhE61n9I8%2ByH7TmNweMa1YzSIFY1thcj%2B5RBOKVhBInkwToKudSRsxB44W6bA94KKNRR10v6SRT13ZoJN7GAEHo11ZNOI4hG1DQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBM1OXIkexg

Hi there, good to see you back on, at 20. 42 on the video the number 1 injector seat on the left hand side in the center it looks like an hairline crack , i hope i am wrong but i saw one like that on another video with a td5.GOOD LOOK TAKE CARE , STAY WELL cheers Mick.

[@sleepycatpictures1176]

I did not spot that. I'll have another look!

[@sleepycatpictures1176]

You could be right. I can reveal now that the oil level is still rising after just a week of going to and from work. It was not the injector seals, unfortunately.

[@troymortimer3487]

did you end up removing the head. Or did you get someone to weld it in situ? how quick to the oil rise. 3mm in 500kms?

[@sleepycatpictures1176]

@@troymortimer3487 Roughly 80 miles. It's difficult to be precise because I stopped using the Disco to save the bottom end. The cams are toast but hopefully they will come with another second-hand head. Due to the 'spare car' MOT failure, I had to go back to using the Disco. Then, after a week, I broke my ankle at work! so nothing has changed! The Disco is sat outside doing nothing, and there's another week to go yet! I'll have to use it on my return to work as is. Nothing is going to move on the spares front for a while I reckon. I was going to drain a litre of oil off every week and replace with 250ml of 10-40 in the hope of keeping the bottom end decent.

I changed my seals a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday I changed an injector, but it's leaking air into the fuel rail so I have to change the washer. I decided to watch this video to see if I can get any more information, low and behold, the spring clips don't need to be removed from the electrical connectors, have only owned td5s for 10 yrs!
