    Burn it or scrap it - 03, D2 susp probs

    looks like some fun with the valve block for me. The most annoying thing in all of this is I brought this vehicle to replace my trusty 300tdi. This was four years ago and I am still unable to rely on the D2 for work as it always goes wrong. It seems to like steady motorway work and thats it. I...

    Burn it or scrap it - 03, D2 susp probs

    I'll have a go at anything as at the moment there is nothing to lose. I live near newport South Wales if there is any kind people with a magic box in my area. One side (was the highest side) now seems normal (90-100mm from top of tyre to arch) and the other side down to the bottom (wheel...

    There is only one snag here. The thing is tuck on the drive so am unable to get it to my local indy with his auto logic. Is there any way to bypass things to get air in the bag? Should I call the AA and see if they can reset it? if they can't and there is no other way to get air in the bag I...

    Burn it or scrap it - 03, D2 susp probs

    Damn thing! New air bags- the old ones leaked, few months later (now)- new ride height sensors as one side was up in the air the other low. Now a dash full of lights , ABS, TC, SLS, HDC etc stay on and supension still one sided. I've had enough! Should I just scrap it, sell it as it is or...

    Questions from a noob

    Wait till the screen gets damaged by a stone and then get auto glass to replace screen through your insurance. They did mine and put new seals in. This stopped lots of water problems. Use the air con to dry out the inside. Just make sure the squids are clear under the transmission tunnel to let...

    TD5 Discovery 2 - No power when cold!

    Now whats wrong!!!???

    I gave it a waggle and it seemed secure. One thing I have noticed recently is that during heavy braking there has been a little steering needed to correct the straightness as the vehicle was pulling one way. I am now wondering if the sensor has been slowly failing and has now died. Do I need...

    Bang/crack noise on windows and now drivers one is 10 mm low

    Mod your fuel pump! I didnt do the full power screw etc due to I did not like the sound of drilling etc. My 300 flies low down now but safe top end and if towing heavy stuff up long hills. Easy 35 MPG and not hanging around. I was going to scrap it before doing this and now i favour it over my...

    Now whats wrong!!!???

    Thanks chaps. It looking like sensors then. They are the originals so they are 7 years old ish. Do I need to replace them in pairs? Are they the same? Is it essential to disconnect the battery? My plan is to get an equal height (tyre top to arch measurement) at both wheels and then place...

    No Brakes!

    Yes. The abs is a duff system. Its now disconnected and I have never a an issue since and the disco still stops well and under control - even with mud tyres so I am happy to leave it off.

    TD5 whining from belt area

    i thought I had a belt issue and it turned out to be a warped exhaust manifold. When revved gas escapes and causes a screech/whistle. BG LandRovers in Monmouth area, Wales sold me a skimmed manifold and job sorted. No noise just go go go

    TD5 Hard Suspension

    Hi Gary, I had exactly the same issues. It was the airbags. See if you can get real good quality ones like the Continental jobs (if you haven't already). www.discovery2.co.uk do an excellent fitting guide. The bags get a hammering if used regularly in grittly conditions and I am convinced...

    03 td5 mystery?

    I know! Not shy for hard work and if away filming with work i love to get home quick (safely using IAM and other techniques), back to my wife and kids. Trouble is td5 can't hack it yet old stinky (300 tdi disco with many tweaks) loves it! I think the ts5 is too posh to push (through the air that...
