This has probably been answered before but I'm struggling to find a previous post for the question I would like to ask. I have a D2, 2001, which was converted to springs before I bought it. These are giving a standard ride height and I would like to get 2 inches more lift without doing any big...

This is a total 'longshot' but I would love to track down the Defender I used to own when my children were young - it is still identifiable on the DVLA website so it must be somewhere! If anybody knows I would love to hear

Hi all, I have had many Land Rovers over the years including Series with standard four-cylinder petrol engines and Defender and Discovery with 2.5 turbocharged. I am now looking at a 90 with the 2.5 normally aspirated diesel – what should I expect on a test drive? Is this going to be really slow...

My D2 is not regularly used and after a couple of weeks of not having opened doors or started it the remote is not operating correctly. It will occasionally work and the doors will lock or unlock but only very occasionally – I have put new batteries in the key fobs. The vehicle battery is fully...

Hi, I'm looking for a good solid Lightweight that is preferably mechanically sound but perhaps needs some work on it. If there is someone with a V8 conversion out there I would be particularly interested but quite happy with the standard engine as I expect that's going to be the majority...

I am sure somebody will tell me I am posting this in the wrong section and it needs to be in Insurance posts but I'm putting it here for those with Discovery 2 move recently got re insured – I'm just a bit amazed by how much premiums have gone up since last year and getting quoted over £300 for...

So apologies for yet another Disco 2 water leak story. I bought my 2001 TD5 last year during the 'great drought' so dry carpet everywhere! Unfortunately as the weather changed I became aware that there was water leaking in, headlining was wet and there was water in the driver's footwell under...

Without any previous indication of a problem my D2 drivers window is not operating – won't go down, all other windows are fine. I believe the fuse is okay as the passenger window is operating normally and I think they are on the same fuse, both rear windows are fine. There is a clicking noise...

I am thinking my TD5 poor starting issues may be down to the air vent valve in the fuel filter housing, having read other threads I thought it's best to replace the whole housing with new fittings included. But I am getting confused by different comments on this site and other sites as to what...

Did a fuel filter change on my Td5 D2 and after purging the air out it started fine. Next start was a little hesitant but ok, however since then if it hasn't been started for a couple of days it fires on cranking then cuts out, crank again and it will usually start but very 'lumpy' eventually...

So thanks to a split gearchange cover gaiter I have drained what looks like milkshake from my Discovery 2 gearbox, the vehicle is new to me so how long it has had oil contaminated with water in it I don't know, I suspect quite some time. Thankfully one of our great contributors to this site...

Anyone got any ideas how water might have got into my Discovery 2 R380 manual gearbox? I drained the gearbox today and milky fluid came out which incidentally looked exactly the same as the guy on the YouTube video, link below, who waded way too deep in water went in the top of the gearbox...

Checking the oils in my 2002 Discovery 2 TD5 today, manual gearbox, and I got some oil to flow out of the filler plug on the gearbox and it is to my view a very strange colour – see the picture below, ignore the gritty bits on the scraper, that was from cleaning around the filler plug. It's a...

The wheel arch flares on my Disco 2 are looking pretty shabby, somebody has previously painted them with I don't know what, they are almost a gloss finish – I would like to get them back to looking something like the original plastic matt finish after giving the current coating a thorough...

The coin holder and ashtray on my Disco 2 don't pop out any more and on investigating the springs that should be fixed to the unit they sit in have broken off and disappeared somewhere in the back of the dashboard area – it would be a major task to pull everything out to try and retrieve them...

Someone answering this question properly deserves a prize! Bought a 2002 Discovery 2 yesterday, previous owner had converted it from air to coil springs at the rear and simply removed the fuse appropriate to the air suspension rather than having the ECU reprogrammed to 'spring'. Drives...

Hi all, this question has probably been asked many times so sorry if I'm repeating it but I like to absolutely confirm which NANOCOM diagnostic tool will allow me to reset suspension from air to coil after a refit and also generally be used for items such as bleeding the ABS – as well as course...

Looking to buy a 1994 Disco which has around 80,000 miles on the clock and has basically been very low use vehicle for many years. 300 TDI with receipt to show that the timing belt was changed in 2002 at around 60,000 miles, so on a mileage basis it shouldn't need changing now but is now 10...

Looking for my next Land Rover as I am selling my D90 and having always had a fondness for ex-military (owned two lightweights in the past) thought I might look into getting a 90 or 110 ex military. So I have been looking around and saw Witham Specialist Vehicles have a few, oddly they also seem...

I am thinking of fitting an engine pre-heater before the weather turns really cold in my TD5 but I don't want to go through the process of removing a core plug to fit a block heater. From what I understand the heated pad type ones that you fit to your oil sump are pretty ineffective but I have...
