Just found this i got stuck in exactly the same spot a few weeks ago lol

Hello, I had abit of a bad day yesterday which is not going down well with the wife after spending 600 quid last week on some new tyres for my Disco. Basically i got myself into abit of bother yesterday and had to get a local farmer to pull me out with his tractor. In the process of me getting...

Hello, Can anyone recommend any good lanes to checkout in South Devon, i am based just north of plymouth so anything out towards tavistock or ivybridge way would be great. Cheers

Hello, I have been greated with the arrival of the 3 amigos and wondering if there is anyone in the Plymouth area, south devon east cornwall area that would be able to Scan the codes so i know what needs looking at. Happy to cover fuel and some beer money and happy to come over to were you are...

Have been playing around with a DBPower SJ4000 camera i bought a few weeks ago and this is the result of a few hours playing with it. Some more vidoes to come soon :-)

Personally I don't take a took kit in the back mainly as I don't want anything banging around in the back but bow you have mentioned it might be worth having a small socket set and ratchets or something in the back just incase. Have a good one :-)

U had this issue on my disco 2 v8 and turned out to be a faulty MAF, would be very intermittent at first but over time got more frequent changed maf not happened since. What lead me to the MAF on mine was intermittent MAF related codes being stored. If I deleted the codes would be fine for a...

I have a standard disco 2 v8 auto and have been amazed at how well it performs. I have some plans to improve my offroad capability but aa I'm new to the 4x4 scene as my confidence and experience grows I am slowly getting bits that will make the car better. :-D plus then the wife doesn't notice...

I had similar problem on my D2 and it was Stiff UJ on the steering column sprayed it a few times with WD40 and worked it loose left it overnight literally soaked in the stuff and by the time i drove 2 miles to work steering as good as new. Worth a look :)

I have had very stiff steering on and off recently on my D2 and soaked the UJ in WD40 the last few evenings and its progressively got looser and looser and this morning actually felt back to normal :-)

Thank you for the quick reply. So doesn't look like the two are related? Really annoying me this issue, i have ordered a lead so i can hook my car up to scan for codes etc so hopefully this might bring a few leads on were i can look next. Cheers Neil

Well my saga with this continues i changed the MAF on saturday for a OE spec MAF put it in fired up and still the same Unplugged it and still the same misfire and irratic idle and just not happy at all. So last night i put the old MAF in connected it up and had misfire etc until i managed to get...

I shall give my local landy parts place a call in the morning and see what they have got :-) what is the bearmach manufacture to avoid? Cheers Neil

This problem came back with vengeance this morning could hardly get out of my road to go to work this morning, a friend of mine suggested unplugging the maf if it happens again and see if it stops it. So unplugged the MAF and hey presto running like a dream. So dodgy MAF if it. Is it best to go...

Just wanted to update this, i changed all the spark plugs and the problem went away they looked like they had been in there for a fair old while previous owner obviously hadn't changed them.

I have a 4.0 V8 Disco 2, at the weekend i was going to change the waterpump but got stuck at the first stage then it started raining so wasnt end of the world. Basically i bought a fan spanner off ebay i have measured it and it is 36mm spanner but it does not fit the nut. So my question is am i...

Will order a waterpump anyways as not 100% sure when it was changed to be honest and taking the alternator belt etc off anyway next saturday to change it so will just switch that out aswell. Amazed how cheap parts are for these, my alfa i had before everything was so dam expensive parts wise.

Popped out to look and all looks fine on the throttle body heater. Will get under over the weekend to try and confirm it's the water pump. Is it best to switch out the water pump or just change the gasket? And if I'm changing the alternator belt anyway is it easy jon whilst the belt is off...

Ok cool cheers i will take a look at that as well in the light tomorrow. Never been so happy to see coolant on the floor was dreading it being something more serious.

Hello, I have noticed my coolant going down a little over the last few weeks and been fearing the dreaded head gasket :-D well to my relief tonight i had a look under and noticed coolant dripping down if you stand in front of the car it appears to be coming from further back than the radiator...
