Will do mate :) Thanks ! So let me get this straight.... There's an electric pump at the back, which I should hear as soon as I turn the ignition on. Then there is the lift pump, and then the diesel pump with timing on the engine. Right ? So if I take out the hose that weeds the...

Emmm.. no I couldnt... A decent one over here would go for at least 7 grand. I'm sure one from UK would be a lot cheaper, but importing to Cyprus alone its going to cost about 800 Euros to come as RoRo and on top of that I would need 2558 Euros for registration of a 2.5Ltr car. Welcome to...

bit less than a grand. Why ?

Well if it isnt a Disco 2 and its not a Disco 1 coz it has different head lights to start with, what is it then ? The engine turns, but wont fire up. Thats why they left it there to begin with. It wouldnt start up one morning. It died in its sleep ! hahaha :)

Been a while, the Disco is still sitting where it was last month, still waiting for this guy to go and pick it up, bring it to my house :( I really hope this will be over with this week so I can get to work on it. Been up to the village though today and took a few pictures. The path way to...

Thats good info guys, thanks :) I'll check it out for any rust issues and so on... my main consirn first is to see if I can make it start without spending a fortune on it.

Well, rust wize, I might be overly optimistic here, but I didnt see any :confused: the ownership paper was lost and I'm waiting for a replacement. I had a call yesterday from the guy with the truck, to go up there and pick it up, but I was extremely bussy at work and couldnt make it :(...

No rot whatsoever mate, not even rust ;)

yes... I might be wrong there mate. Identification is a must if I'll start looking for parts ! lol Will post some pictures very soon. All I know for sure is that its a 2.5 Turbo Diesel one. Looks like this one (well not in this condition anyway) :

You saying that its a beast boosts me up really. I thought that it was underpowered for a 2.5 Tdi

downloading now :) Thanks :)

Thats what I had in mind really. How can I check it though ?

ok, thats good to know, because to be honest, been an automatic put me off a bit. I like offroading and I would be very disappointed if I couldnt use it the way I want to due to the gearbox

Just got one myself. Its a 1998 (I think) Discovery 2, 2.5ltr Turbo Diesel. Automatic transmission :( Faded and pealed green colour, currently sitting on the side of a mountain, waiting for me to send a truck to pick it up ! The car is a non runner so I got it very cheap. The...

Excellent !! Thanks :) I will need some from you guys to identify what engine I've got so it will help me out with the searching on various topics. Will post some pictures later to show you the actual car and engine. .... it does look quite bad right now. Sun in Cyprus has totally...

seems to me that lots of people have similar problems - myself included. I hope its an easy fix

Thanks mate :) So where do I go from here ? The previous owner let this car sit outside his house since 2005, because he got up one morning and it wouldnt start ! He said that he found that there was no diesel coming to the injectors. He was told that it was probably the assisting diesel...

Hi guys, I'm Chris from Cyprus. I have very recently got a 1998 Landrover Discovery 2 , 2.5 ltr Turbo Diesel. Although I'm a Alfa Romeo nutter, got 2 Sprints, a Sud, a 33 and a 156, I had to find something to fill in the gap which Alfa couldnt. A proper 4x4 :cool: The Disco I got is...
