I took my FL2 in for a service last week. As I drove out of the garage, there was quite a loud banging for a few seconds as I pulled onto the main road. Of course, I drove a bit further before turning round and going back to the garage. The mechanic said it might be the suspension settling...

After scouring the internet, YouTube and forums to get a clue as to why my tow bar electrics weren’t working, I had to bite the bullet today and take it to an Indy 4x4 garage. initially, they couldn’t fit my car in until next Thursday, but when I said I had an important long journey to make...

Anyone in or around Colchester, Essex, I thoroughly recommend JSF 4x4 in Manningtree. They have really helped me out many times, even staying open late one weekend to source me a trailing arm for my disco 1. Always ready to give good advice, too. Today, they pulled out all the stops to sort...

This one has got me stumped. I’ve done the usual searches and just ended up more confused. I recently hitched up to a trailer, plugged the electrics in, but no lights worked on the trailer. I lifted the boot liner to trace the wiring and found a disconnected plug. It’s not the Land Rover plug...

I removed the haldex today to give it a proper service, to see if that would stop the juddering when turning from a standing start. The filters were in a terrible state and the oil looked like a mixture of black, dirty oil and nice golden oil? Like it’s been topped up with new without a proper...

I’ve done all the usual searches and can’t find what I’m looking for, so apologies if this has already been asked. My 2010 freelander 2, td4 manual, gets a thumping sound from under the rear of the car when turning left or right from a standing start. I can feel it juddering, about three or...

I’ve done the usual searches and haven’t come up with anything, so, can anyone tell me whether a 2010 S has an amp or sub woofer fitted as standard? thanks.

So, after owning a disco 1 and a disco 2, I had a spell away from Land Rovers and bought a VW Passat estate, don’t ask why, that’s another story. Anyway, after nearly 2 years on the dark side, I’ve now bought a 2010 freelander 2. Just a basic entry level S model, but first impression are, they...

I’m down sizing, so my lovely disco is for sale. It’s an immaculate example. Being an ES, it has all the usual luxuries. Comes with stacks of service history. Runs beautifully. I’m looking for £4000 or very near offer. There aren’t many in this condition. SOLD

Sorry for yet another td5 starting issue thread. I’ve searched and searched, but just found a load of variables and different issues, so I’m still non the wiser? I need to ask some questions to, hopefully, point me in the right direction. I started getting an intermittent starting problem...

Well, I had the classic click from the starter last week, so purchased the new selanoid contact kit with plunger. Attempted to fit it today, but gave up in the end. The two easy bolts to remove the starter were so tight, it took about an hour and lots of swearing to get them out. Then the fun...

I’ve noticed a quite loud whistling over the last few days that wasn’t there before. It’s under acceleration and starts around 2500 revs. Ease off the throttle and it stops, when the car gets up to speed, it stops. It only does it under load. I used the search facility on here and started to...

I had a minor reversing accident a while back and damaged my disco 2. Nothing serious, so I went through the insurance to get it repaired. First of all, I had to wait two weeks for their ‘approved’ garage to collect the car for repairs, then it all went quiet for a week. Then I was contacted...

Yesterday, I started to wean my disco TD5 onto biodiesel. I’ve started off with b50, but will gradually increase that, after a few fuel filter changes, until I’m running b100. The first 50 miles has shown me that the TD5 will run happily on biodiesel. If I’d put 50% water, or 50% petrol in my...

After extensive research, I’ve decided to start using bio diesel in my, new to me, disco td5. I ran my 300 tdi on it for 6 years without too many problems. I know the td5 is a different engine, but the only problem I can see with running it on bio is, any natural rubber parts or seals in the...

I’ve had my disco 2 for a few days now, so I’m still trying to find my way around it. Today I noticed what looke a blue tooth microphone or receiver at the top of the drivers side A post. I can’t find any other indication of a hands free kit in the car and there’s no mention of one in the owners...

1997 Discovery 1 300 tdi ES. Manual gearbox. All the usual ES goodies, like full leather Interior and electric everything! twin electric sun roofs, which both work and dont leak! Well used, but not abused. Never been off roaded in its life. Has a few knocks and scrapes, as to be expected...

Well, I’ve taken the plunge and crossed over to the dark side. I bought a 2003 td5 today after 6 years with my 300 tdi. I feel like a fish out of water at the moment, because I knew my tdi inside out and felt confident I could fix anything on it. Still, onwards and upwards. The td5 is mint...

I have searched the forums high and low, but can find the answer I need. I’m having the dreaded key fob/central locking/immobiliser issue. My key fob only works when it wants to. Sometimes, it can take me 5 minutes or more to unlock the disco. I’ve changed the key fob battery several time and...

I’m going to be realising My dream next month and buying a defender. There’s a dealer in Bolton who advertises on eBay. Most of his defenders look great value for money. Has anyone had any dealings with those dealer?
