    '02 D2 Auto Power Steering Pump leak.

    That's it Dave. I've been looking online and found this Disco Steering Column It's a series of photo's of the lad changing his. My worry was access. What did you have to remove to get good access or were you able to do it more or less 'as is'? I'll be ordering it today Meanwhile a drop of oil...

    I feel incompetent

    You passed the pint test. Sorted. The rest will come in it's own good time. Don't force it or it'll take even longer !! Your advice is as valuable to numpties like me as you value your own work. Thanks

    '02 D2 Auto Power Steering Pump leak.

    thebiglad, Thanks mate, sound advice. I've read a few posts for and against and the against's have my vote. Just being a bit lazy i guess and looking for the quick and easy fix and putting off the inevitable! I've ordered the parts and am hoping that if it's pointed out during the MOT, I'll be...

    '02 D2 Auto Power Steering Pump leak.

    Thanks for the reply, sorry I didn't get back straight away, only just able to come on here....One last quick question. I've got her booked for the MOT tomorrow and was wondering if this is an MOT fail? It's constant so there's plenty of signs of a leak all over this part of the engine etc. If...

    '02 D2 Auto Power Steering Pump leak.

    Hi guys, Finally had a good look for the leak on my PS pump/hoses today. Gunked everything from the reservoir down to the pump, cleaned it all off and had a good check. The only leak I could find was at the base of the pump itself. Initially, I thought the fluid was leaking out of the lowest...

    '02 Disco 2 TD5 Auto poor tickover and no power at starting.

    Hi guys, Sorry not added anything to this for a while but I've just returned from a couple of months working overseas. There is more to add and it actually points in the direction of Jim A's post. I arrived home and as usual, my Mrs had been starting the Landy for me and letting it run for 15-20...

    Further to my last post....I've just taken her for a quick run to drop one of my daughters off at work and when I stopped the smell of exhaust fumes was very strong in the cab. Could just be coming in from the rear The other point is when I got home the fuel pump seems to be making more noise...

    '02 Disco 2 TD5 Auto poor tickover and no power at starting.

    Hi Jas, Thanks for the reply. Checked it first thing. Clean as a whistle. Both ends. I changed it out none the less, just in case it was an easy/cheap fix. One of first things done to be honest. First time I've had to 'work' on her so it's all down to entries on here. So my appreciation for the...

    '02 Disco 2 TD5 Auto poor tickover and no power at starting.

    Hi guys, Rob here. Well, the smugness has finally come to an end after four years. My face lift Disco 2 has started to develope a problem. Several months back, she died on me 70 miles from the end of a long run home (Brighton to Fort William). Recovered by local company in Killin, Lixtul. One...

    How to change Discovery 2 Replace side-light bulb

    Hi all. I'm sure this will be considered a simple task but for novices like me it's not immediately obvious how to complete this simple task. Especially if you've owned a Disco 1. I've taken some pics at the pertinent stages, so I hope this will help. You will need: a small flat head screw...
