Cheers, from other reprts of similar probelms TD5 owners have had (snapped bleed screws are not uncommon) many are saying that the snapped part dimpy falls into the thermostat and can be removed from there. The garage I'm going to use is only a couple of miles away so any plugging of the bleed...

If it's not one thing it's another at the moment! I'd been suffering a mystery coolent leak recently with fluid simply vanishing and nothing ever seen under the vehicle. I eventually tracked this down to the fact that the top hose bleed screw had sheared half way down and coolent was slowly...

Well, that fixed it. The wastegate was jammed solid and it took quite a bit of freeing off. Still needs a bit more movement and WD40 to keep it totally free, but a quick blast down the A59 showed all was on the mend. It also allowed me to discover where the mystery of the vanishing coolent...

Wow, thanks. Just looked that up and the reported symptoms and it seems to be the culprit. Had a look under the bonnet and the gate is pretty solid (actually, very solid - won't move even with pliers) so have just been out to get a large tin of WD40 and will tackle it in the morning. I'll let...

Thanks for the advice so far everyone. I fitted a Bosch filter yesterday replacing the no-name filter the so-called Land Rover specialists put in last year which helped considerably. However, there is still a bit of lag at high revs (but much less than before). I'll get it in a small place I...

Well, I haven't paid for it yet (it's on reserve at Euro Car parts and they were shut yesterday when their website said they'd be open), so the plan today is to buy a new air filter as even though the current one is not even 10 months old it's looking quite grotty. I've got a nice run into...

Ah, that. No all is fine there. The previous owner had the loom and seal sorted out before I got it. Still fine today.

Oooh. A new thing to go wrong. Can you elaborate please?

It had a MAJOR service last year (drop and change everything) when I forst brought it. But I suspect that 13 years on a single MAF sensor hasn't left it in the best of conditions. Other digging around on the net leaves me to belive that it's at least 5 years past it's useful date (the Disco has...

Yup, last summer.

Happy new year everyone :) My Disco 2 has had a couple of instances over the Xmas period where when trying to overtake at high speed\revs we have encountered occasional juddering\lack of power from the engine. This is not regular or fequent. This also does not happen at normal (cruising) or...

Tnaks all. Contacts were starting to get a bit corroded. Some contact cleaner and gentle rubbing with a cloth has sorted out the probelm. Many thanks. It'll be nice to be able to clear the screen without having to switch A\C on every now and again :)

I had a new heated screen fitted in the summer after a stone did a job on the old one. Now the weather has began to turn cold and damp I have noticed that only the passenger side is working. On the old screen it all worked all the way accross. What I need to know is whether this can be caused...

@Cambridgecockney Thnaks for the recommendation. They were the only people who had one on the self (fabricated by them) and at £30 inc. delivery didn't leave a bad taste in my wallet :) The actual fitting however was something else. I had to find a sepcialst welder who removed the rear seats...

I'm just surprised I can't find one to buy for a Disco II. Plenty available for the Disco I though. As for making one, forget it. I'm a fitter not an artificer!

Ta, I'll also give Ribble Valley 4x4 a buzz in the morning.

Well, the good news is that it's fixable :) All I need to do is order a new rear shock bracket and the garage will get it in next week. Now I'm having some problems actually finding one that plainly says 'Discovery 2 rear shock bracket' online. If someone can please provide a link to one I'd...

I'm in Preston, Lancs. Bit of a distance frm you ;) I paid 4k for the Disco and a new chassis +fitting comes in at that! As it's my first Land Rover and teh wife +kids have loved it to pieces (not to mention myself I am a bit gutted. I had gove it a good look over but it had years of...

Guys, if you could give me some advice about the level of poo that may induce please let me know. As a point of referance, you can see the height sensor on the RHS of the pic. The garage can't pick it up today and I'm in two minds wether to phone an automotive welding specialist instead. Any...

As requested, a pic. The garage are taking it in this morning to see what can be done. I can afford repairs, but not a chassis replacement (I'd have to save a few months for that!)
