Took mine to Hlfords auto centre (no choice due to warranty package) because of the steering box leaking. They also said the gearbox and engine sump are leaking. So we have confirmed I own a land rover. Hehehe

Cheers gents will give it a go.

Got my egr removal ki, spare bolts the lot. Had read a lot on this forum that the Allen bolts can be an issue. Fro two days I soaked them in wd40 . This weekend went for the troublesome bolts, nice and easy, top one released no issue, bottom one stripped the inside head. Bollocks. Luckily I...

No probs booked in next week. Will post photo's and report as soon as its done.

Did an oil change yesterday and converted my new Disco 2 td5 to fully synthetic. Booked her in for an underside clean and full waxoyl at Channel Comercial vehicles in Ashford (£180 +vat). Booked her in at the local Hlfords autoshop ( no choice due to RAC 6 month warranty) as I found the steering...

So far so good, she is booked in next week on the 29th till the 30th. They need two days, first day to clean and dry, second day to waxoyl. They have been great, very helpful and will provide pics for us.

I found it, its called a thingy. Well more importantly a breaker understood what I meant and is selling me one for £45. Woohooo

After searching some threads I found that there wasn't much on here for someone wanting to get a Waxoyl done in Kent. Most companies seem to be north of the M25. Anyway I found a company in Ashford called Channel Commercials. They have quoted me £180 = +vat to clean and waxoyl the bottom of the...

Hey all, Did a mini service to the Disco yesterday and noticed that the bar running between the lower crash cans which the lower half of my Disco S2 TD5 bumper attaches to is rotten. So what is this part called so I can price up a new one? Other than providing stability to the lower part of...

I broke it....... Changed the rear windscreen wiper. While reattaching the spare wheel to the carrier I sheeted on of th bolts off. Gutted oh we'll have gone to B&Q and have purchased an M8 replacement will drill out the old one and replace this weekend. Rear wheel is being held on by the other...

That's pretty much what island 4x4 said, since my last Landy was a 300tdi and this is my first TD5. I took their advice and bought a regular filter. I might contact LR and KN and see what they say as well.

Has anyone ever had an issue???????

Very interesting, I have a TD5 disco. Interested to hear other people's comments. Let's see how far this goes.

Not sure what the Diso 1 is always worth checking. These are LR recommended weights per the books. Don't know if there is much leeway. But yeah it is pretty crap. That's only 3 jerry cans if you look at its like that.

Beware the load rating on the Diso 2 roof is 60 kg all in including rack or bars. Not that much when you think most people pack 20 kg into a case on a plane trip. For some people the 60 kg may only just cover the wife's make up lol.

Hey all, thought I would pass on some info I received today. I was at Island 4x4 picking up some service bits for the disco. I mentioned that I was after a KN air filter. The guys there recommended I don't fit one. Apparently oil coated filters can cause issues with the temp gauges and that then...

Cool thanks for that. I'll go for the £200 and then rope some mates in to help me with the "internal" bits. Must admit found "rustmster" to be a little full on pushing their product. I suppose sales at the moment are needed in these tough times. I just don't like the hard sell.

About 1/2 mile away. Kent commercial vehicles have just got back toe with a quote for a underside clean and full underside wax for £200. That's pretty good. They don't do inside the box frame or doors. I suppose if I buy a hand pump thing and some Waxoyl I could do that bit. How difficult is it...

Hey all. This is not debating the value of Waxoyl as a treatment. More a question of value for money. Whilst I can service my car and bits and bobs I have quite. Damaged spine following my military career. Long story short there is no way I could spend to much time underneath the landy...

Washed, t cuttet and carnauba waxed my disco. Got all the winter crud of her. She is now ready to get dirty, but with the wax protecting the bits. She doesn't look right clean though. Whilst cleaning found that the lower front crossbar is rusted through and the two thin metal straps that attach...
