Hi all, Many thanks for the pointers, Just got back in from the freezing cold having stripped out the ECU to find sufficient oil in the red plug socket to cause me a concern, cleaned that all the way through and ran a test, seems ok so far so I'll keep you updated. Once again the help from you...

Oh, that might account for the little puddles on the drive. Another good point to check. Guess I'm gonna be up to my ears in Disco parts this weekend. Thanks guys..

Good shout.......gemsdad

Thanks Owl, will go for the data logger now.......

Hey, Thanks to all of the support on here I have ironed out one or two issues with my disco and I now find myself facing ONE MORE CHALLENGE... (till the MOT is due) I have purchased a kit to convert to 7 seats (dickie seats and all the plastics and headrests etc). The question is, Do I need to...

Hi gems dad. YUP, the actuating rod was hanging down inside the skin. I checked to see if it would just go back in but even with the release button pressed it was still 4-5mm protruding. can't have done it by itself...... Little Cnuts-------

My much loved 2001 TD5 seems to think its ok to keep changing its tick over... Normally when warm (temp. gauge in the middle) she'll sit around 750 - 800 RPM but today for no reason while she was sitting idling it "bounced" up to about 1100rpm. She wasn't cold and I wasn't anywhere near the...

Thanks guys. Sorted this afternoon. slippery little sucker isn't it.

The plastic clip is still on the flap. Does this mechanism just "pop" in and out??

Oh joy, some little Scroat (Am I allowed to say that on here) has tried to nick my diesel. Now the fuel filler flap does just that - FLAPS - the button that pops out of the body work behind the filler flap is no longer present. just a small hole. Are these difficult to replace? The good old...

OK. So 51 plate discovery 2 TD5 who appears to have a mind of HER own. Starts every turn of the key which I am so pleased about however, on tick over she decides in her infinite wisdom to mess about with the speed at which she ticks over. Initially I would expect tick over to be about 1000...

Hmmm kind of feel i'm letting the side down here. I ordered a new TINT for the reader window.......

Outstanding Thanks Fellah Stupid question..... rear coil springs.... are they "Left or Right Handed" my thoughts are that they are not?????

Oh Yeah Chuffed to bits MOT'd it today too. Passed (just) with a load of advisories: rear springs corroded Track rod has some corrosion Fuel pipe is corroded Brake pipe corroded High centre stop lamp inoperative and some under seal needed. I have been trying to locate a parts list to ensure...

Outstanding support guys. Thank you all so much Got to the Bias plate and found it in tact but had been moved (if the boltheads were anything to go by) Repositioned it and hey presto....... Gear shift sits in place and selection is smooth as it ever was. Not sure why they would need to move it...

Really appreciate the help with this. I'll take a peak this afternoon and update on here later, Thanks all

Ok, so having taken the tip from a friend I put my 51 discovery in to a local garage to do the clutch and dual mass flywheel. Time and access just wouldn't allow me to do it myself. £630 later and the new clutch fitted, the gear shift feels like a bowl of porridge. Selection is ok however...

Right hand side. Towing electrics are. All in place. This is a plug with cables to the loom but nothing connected tot the plug?..

Hey all, So, just changed out a brake light bulb on my 2001 disco and found an unconnected plug on the wiring loom that s not connected to anything. Can anyone tell me what this is for??

Thanks Billy B I can get hold of the regulator from a dozen different sources. Just can't locate the guides anywhere - stainless or otherwise.....
