Yeah I agree, do feel like something has become misaligned. Feel like waving the 2lb magic wand Birmingham screwdriver at it!!! Appreciate your help.

Hi Bennehboy, Can not select reverse, and yes the yoke grub screw is located in the detent. The gear stick will not move into any other gear, just doesn’t locate any position where it could start to go into a gear. I took a short video but can not see how to upload it.

The gear stick has been a bit wobbly, whilst slowing down l changed from 4th to 2nd but couldn’t get it in 2nd, or any other gear except 4th. Luckily, so to speak, this happened a hundred yards from my house. I stripped out the selector, and no gear selector yoke bush or c clip, still didn’t...

Hi sierrafery, Just to say haven’t had chance to replace the thermostat yet, and now a bigger priority, can’t change gears, going to put a post on. Cheers

Discovery 2. Looking for some advice on whether Is it ok to drive with all terrain tyres on the front and road tyres on the rear I still have tread left on the rear tyres and didn’t want to replace yet. Appreciate any replies.

Hi, My 2004 TD5 cranks but will not fire, I've primed the fuel system but no sign of firing. I was wondering if there was anyone living in Worcester ho has access to an engine diagnostics. My ELM 327 does not work with this. Thanks Steve

Hi sierrafery, ok, thanks for coming back to me on this, I think there may be the remains of something in the position you’ve identified, most bizarre where it all disappeared to!!!!!

Hi sierryfery, mystery, Thanks for the images, they seem to show the same switch/coloured wires, but in different positions on the gearbox housing? I need to take a closer look on mine. Cheers Steve

Hi all, I hope I’m posting this in the correct place! Recent purchase Disco TD5 2004 manual - I’m struggling to locate the reverse lamp switch. There are no wires coming from any where around the gearbox area, (including none from transfer box oil sensor? Low ratio switch). The loom from the...

Hi Mike, yep sucker for punishment!!! Steve

On my 2nd 2.5 disco, 1st was a 2001, now just bought a 2004, the 2001 had many quirks most I’ve sorted, this 2004 is no exception! Leaky sunroofs I knew about, but now reverse lights not working - transfer box wiring no longer there??? - one on order. Filled it right up only to notice I was also...
