    Disco 2 Automatic gearbox overheating problems

    I’ve ordered the pipes and hope to do the job next week. I’ll send an update once it’s done.

    Disco 2 Automatic gearbox overheating problems

    Thanks Vanmancan. I’ve ordered one and will fit it hopefully next week when I get back from the job I’m on. I’ll let you know the results when it’s done.

    Disco 2 Automatic gearbox overheating problems

    Been to Stratford upon Avon today so 2hrs straight roads then soon as stuck in traffic light back on. After reading your comments I had a look at the rad. Whilst looking for it I noticed one of the cooler pipes that runs under the bottom of the car one of them is slightly crushed. Could this...

    Will do. Do you know how hard of a job it is?

    Disco 2 Automatic gearbox overheating problems

    When driving round all is ok. When towing a trailer after a while the red gearbox temp light comes on. So I changed the filter and fluid. I drained 2.5 liters out and put 4.5 liters back in so I take it she was low. Drove down to London today with the trailer and all was good, until I came off...

    Disco 2 Road noise coming from O/S rear door

    I'll check that tomorrow. Thanks.

    Disco 2 Road noise coming from O/S rear door

    Yeah checked window and door was shut which they were. All seals look good. I wondered if it could be the plastic behind the door panel missing or something like that.

    Disco 2 Road noise coming from O/S rear door

    Anyone have any ideas why when I drive my disco the other week it sounded like the rear o/s door was ajar or the window was slightly open. :(

    Disco 2 Ace rear anti roll bar chassis bracket

    Thanks for the offer MJI but as far as I can make out it's all good. Scary the thought that someone was driving it round with the roll bar held on with only one bracket and that was to small.

    Disco 2 Ace rear anti roll bar chassis bracket

    Yeah the bracket they used was about an inch wide but used the wider ARB rubber bush. Some people hay. I haven't found any other bodge ups yet but I've just finished welding on the sills so I've yet to have ventured higher up than that yet. Watch this space :D

    Disco 2 Ace rear anti roll bar chassis bracket

    Yeah that's the plan, although I'm going to just use a nut and bolt so I can offer the proper bracket up and mark and drill the hole spot on.

    Disco 2 Ace rear anti roll bar chassis bracket

    They look the nuts if you pardon the pun, but I need to fab the bracket up first then I think it will have to be a nut and bolt job. It's a shame I couldn't remove them to make them up agin as it's a bit of a ****e place to work on them.

    Disco 2 Ace rear anti roll bar chassis bracket

    That is fantastic. Just what I need. Now I can see what a mess mine are really in. Mine don't have any of the welded nuts like in you picture. They look like they have been torn off, which is worrying how they actually managed it. Thanks again. More welding ahead :(

    Disco 2 Ace rear anti roll bar chassis bracket

    Thanks Simon, but I have bought those parts all ready it is the actual part that's welded to the chassis that the clamp bolts to that I'm after as the Muppet who put 1 dodgy undersized clamp on has ripped the bracket on the chassis up.

    I don't suppose you got any pics?

    Disco 2 Ace rear anti roll bar chassis bracket

    Has anyone got a picture they could share with me of the chassis bracket which the bracket bolts to on an ace rear anti roll bar. Some Muppet put only one bracket on nearest the hydraulic ram thing but not only that they used some Micky mouse bracket that was only an inch wide which resulted in...

    Disco 2 Disco's heater playing silly beggars

    Thanks for all your answers. I bled the system and had a fair amount of air in it, but she still sat at 1/4 on the gauge so I booked it in for an mot. I knew she would fail but it gave me a chance to drive her and see what it felt like on the road and what needs doing for the mot. Seems like the...

    Disco 2 Disco's heater playing silly beggars

    So. Messing about with my disco this morning I thought I'd try the heater. Which has me baffled. I can't take it down the road yet as I'm still sorting it for the MOT so I had it running for a while. The temp gauge only goes between 1/4 and 1/2 when normally I'm sure it should sit at 1/2. Also...
