The ace valve block is under the drivers seat see if it's round there the noise

This is the thing I've a td5 hardly ever goes wrong I take it off road
my dad has a td5 and his is never out of the garage and he looks after it but costs him a bomb in repairs
I think you either get a good landrover or a bad one

Could be the compressor for the suspension, i know when i turn the ignition off and get out of my D2 it makes a noise as it fills the airshocks, and occasionally hisses as it purges itself

Its normal. The pump/compressor regulates the amount of air in the suspension as it adjusts to road/cornering conditions. Once you pull up and stop the compressor returns the system to standard status
