    Bottle Jack seals

    Amended seal size: Thanks for posting this image. Just got mine in bits. Like you, after 20 years occasional use, mine is leaking. Suspect the piston-to-cover seal at the top, it's lost its shape. Have ordered 35mm ID x 2.5mm cross section O Ring from Seals R Us on eBay. Did you find a kit...

    Swansea Vale 4x4

    Hi all, I will just leave this here just in case it helps anyone. Swansea Vale 4 x 4 or http://www.swanseavale4x4.co.uk/ Took a week of holiday on the Gower recently. Travelled from Yorkshire towing. After a few days my 2003 D2 developed a diesel leak near the back end. Did not want to...

    Discovery 2 Steering Box Seals

    Thanks Cobra Mark. It's 2 months since I did this job and the seals are doing just fine. To complete the job, I discarded parts 8 and 9 (see pic above) and purchased a replacement seal (item 1 in pic) from Huddersfield Bearings (£3). I'm pleased with the outcome. I adjusted the steering...

    Disco 2 and bike carriers

    Well, Dave the Disco, it looks pretty much the same to me. As you can see, I did away with the spacer because there's enough spacing going on with all those plates.

    Disco 2 and bike carriers

    I'm working on the Steering box just now so the tow ball is sitting low - Here are some pics of my tow bar. It's a standard Land Rover Discovery 2 tow bar and the plate includes a MaxRax mount plus the caravan stabiliser. It's not pretty, not lightweight and needs a paint but it works well.

    Discovery in the dulldrums

    Hello all, Have a TD5 from new since 2003. It's been a great family tow car. I'm just fixing a steering box leak but my posting to the Discover forum has failed to appear which is a tad disappointing. Needing moderation intervention I guess. Richard

    Discovery 2 Steering Box Seals

    Hello, Managed to remove my steering box so I can replace the seals. Box is leaking, MOT next week. I removed parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 and as you can see, they're not going back... I purchase one of these, a QFW 100180 (just typing it for the search engines) ... There's a good match between...

    Watts Linkage bushes RGX100960...

    That was a handy read TaDa, thank you for that. Have just replaced the nearside inner Watts linkage bush adjoining the pivot. Thought I’d share some supplementary thoughts and pictures. British Parts were good in supplying a RGX100960, cost £31. Local dealer (not main dealer) quoted...
