Used to have a TD5 Disc, gone more rugged this time with a Defender 90 TD5:)

Running on at 122k at the moment on a 2000 X Reg TD5 Adventurer, hope it carries on for a few more.

Any tips on keeping the rear view mirror on and in place? Mine has fallen off twice. cheers:D

Mine do this all the time the passenger is worse than the drivers side. Anyone changed the springs?

The part number is the same as the one I had fitted (QFM100180) and it took them some time. The kit had less parts to it though Land Rover Discovery 2 Steering Box seal kit QFM100180 | eBay UK Good luck, it was a bi**h to get off and back on. Cured the leak though. :)

Closer look it was the fuse in the engine bay set 20A, I was looking at the wiper squirter single fuse inside the vehicle. Thanks for the help, first electrical mishap with the car in a year, need to gain a bit more knowledge in 2011 :)

Finally the ice has melted, and my washers work. Well all but the headlight washer set. Not sure whether the motor has burnt out as the fuse is fine. It may be the relay however as I have not swapped it yet. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.:)

Just filled mine up to the brim giving a respectable 26.66mpg from a 2000 TD5 Disco at 119k miles. Best ever was 32mpg on a trip to Cornwall last year. :)

I have a 2000 TD5, my friend at work has an 09 D3 and swears that he would only ever own one under warranty. I am sticking to my D2 :-)

I have a 2000 TD5 on 119k, get 25/26 mpg urban and 32-35 mpg on a long run

Mine feels hot too, never worried about it after reading this snipit. That's why there is a fuel cooler on the engine, it uses engine coolant to cool, so that's how hot it gets. The common rail engine of the TD5 type has a high flow of low pressure fuel in the gallery, the same as a...

Well it took me a morning to fit at a leisurely pace and cost me only the price of the dunlop airbags from Paddocks, £696 seems steep!!!! look at www.discovery2.co.uk great guide.

Measured my D2 front springs at 18 inches, same for the rear air suspension when at rest. With 119k on the clock should I worry? What is the air suspension height with the engine running on normal and full extension?

So who are the best quality online spare company fro steering boxes?

How come some bad press on Paddock's OEM boxes from FOSS? They would have been my first choice!
