I'll give it a try later today, thanks

Hi forum, I am scratching my head over a rear end noise and would like some ideas… My 2003 TD4 started rumbling from the rear around 2 weeks ago, it sounds like a badly worn wheel bearing. The noise increases with speed but does not change when I turn or go either way around a roundabout. It...

Hi All, I've had a look through all the forums and I reckon it's the HG that's gone. I'll book it in to Rogers in Bedford, a local LR specialists. They should be able to test the radiator and HG. Anyone know what they'd charge to replace the head gasket?

Thanks Fanatic. So the vehicle behaves and drives fine and at normal temperature if I keep to 50-55 MPH is that still a cracked head? Also, what's a good test for the radiator other than removing it?

Also, I have been running the heater on full but even then it only works occasionally i.e. when there's water in the matrix

Hi Folks, Yes it is boiling over and loosing power in exactly the same way as 'Clifford' describes with his. So, where is the water going? if not in the oil supply then into the cylinders? surely this would impede the engine working at all! Also, the lack of power could be 'limp mode' because...

Hi All, A quick Sunday night puzzler for you all….. My Discovery 2 TD5 auto is really overheating if I go over 3000 RPM for an extended period i.e. up a steep hill. Now I have only just bought the vehicle and have had to do some work on it which I’ll list but this problem has really got me...

Just changed the water pump, door lock and wiper motor on my newly acquired Disco 2. Would like to say thanks to everyone who offered advice and help, couldn't have done it without you especially 'discovery2.co.uk'

Hi Fella, Will these fit series 2 disco? want a set for winter tyres. I'm in Bedford so could pick up this weekend...

Thanks guys, that's all really helpful. Going to service her today and have a look at those actuators....

2 oil filters! thanks didn't know that. Ref the door locks, they lock ok via the fob but don't open. The servos obviously work but only one way. Could it be a sticky switch?

Hi Folks, Just got my first TD5 and was looking for some advice on servicing and 'snagging'... Have only just driven it and (after filling it up for £118!) noticed some faults that I could do with some pointers on please. 1) the windscreen wipers don't go back on their own, is this and easy fix...

Hi Everyone, Just bought my 3rd Disco. It's a 1999 TD5 and I am so happy! Got a few 'niggles' to sort out so will post in another section for some advice. Giles

If you put the Disco drive train onto a series chassis do the axles match up to the series leaf spring mounting points? It'd tick lots of boxes if it did (i.e. same brakes etc!)

Nice one guys thanks. So it looks possible and using the points system (thanks for the link clivees) if I keepthe origional chassis, suspension and/or steering/axles it'd still be tax free and exempt from stupid parking permits.... Think I'll start looking for a donor!
