    Disco 2 Loss of power, please help! Auto TD5

    Evening all. Just been on the road for 15 hours, should have only taken 9! 2 hours in, I started noticing the odd flat spot, then it got progressively and significantly worse. Terrible when going up the box or hill climbing. Ok in top gear, very limited power in 2nd and 3rd. When I got to my...

    Disco 2 Rear radius arms and watts linkage

    I did mine today. All 5 bushes totally shot. I bought a 10T press especially for the job, which is a good job, as the most stubborn bushes took just over 6.5T to start moving. Pressing the bushes in, on average, was a steady 2T of force. I had a right game with the link arm bushes, if you do...

    Disco 2 Original LR parts

    Evening Gents, Where do you guys go for LR parts? Ideally I’d like to use just 1 supplier, any thoughts...? I’ve just realised I might be breaking some rules? If so, please remove the post, I’m new on here!

    Disco 2 SRS

    What cause some this red light to come on. I can clear it be restarting the engine, and it doesn’t come on so often, but don’t understand why it can come and go, either there is a fault, or there isn’t...?

    Disco 2 ACE fluid

    Is it normal with the engine running, for the ACE fluid to be agitating? Is this just flow and return, or have I got an issue?

    Disco 2 Sticky Starter Motor

    Hi Neilly, No clicking at all. The relay was operating int the fuse box, but mainly felt it rather than heard.

    Disco 2 Sticky Starter Motor

    Lots of niggles all of a sudden! She wouldn't start or even turn over earlier. I got under and tapped the Starter with a hammer. Then started on the button. Is there anything I can do, or just replace? Battery voltage static and running is fine.

    Thanks Dieseldog, Is there any info of how to fit these and wire them in (and keep it looking smart!)?

    Disco 2 Water pump and thermostat

    Hi All, D2 TD5 2000 plate. Is it worth swapping out the water pump and stat as a matter of course/preventative maintenance? I know it is a fairly big job given there isn't an immediate fault, but I need to invest some time and money into the old girl to breathe a bit of life into her.

    Disco 2 Intermittent loss of power, now overheating

    Hi All, General update. Thanks for all the help so far, across all my SOS posts! So, original fault was overheating, intermittent loss of power and no cabin heating. As the guys suggested, the coolant was quite low, so have topped it up and bled it. I had it ticking over for a few hours...

    Disco 2 Intermittent loss of power, now overheating

    Thanks jamesmartin, could the loss of power and over revving be related to this? I’m very new to D2, and don’t fully understand how all the ECU’s behave yet.

    Hi All, SOS time again please, the Wife is waiting to be recovered... again. She is doing some miles across to Manchester from Sheffield on a weekly basis and has said (didn’t tell me until now) that when on the motorway, she loses all power, the engine revs like mad, then when the revs fall...
