    Disco 2 Boost Box -Extra Umph

    Many thanks for that explanation. My Old D2 had this box fitted from the day I bought it and when it died (Rust Chasis) at 185,000 it never had any of the issues you suggest so I am still wondering if to just fit it. I tow a lot of boats so the extra grunt would be good. Other than towing I tend...

    Disco 2 Boost Box -Extra Umph

    Hello I have been thinking again about this and I can certainly sense that my newer TD5 has less omph than my Previous one with the Power Plus Box. I would like to do this as simply as possible as it is I think just plug and Play. I was wondering why you felt I need to fit the two gauges you...

    LR3 P0403 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Circuit

    Thanks for the Information. I think I am going to replace the Battery first. My LR3 is a 2008/2009 model. I cant believe it is the EGR valves as that was a different code before and it has done so few miles since they were replaced. Buying this LR3 was not the best decision I have ever made

    Disco 2 Boost Box -Extra Umph

    Hello Sadly my old Disco TD5 (Done 183,000 miles) failed the mot on welding at the rear.... No worries as I rushed out and bought another Disco 2 a bit newer but still a TD5. On the old one I had some sort of plug in box sitting on top of the battery that it seemed remapped something in the ECU...

    LR2 and LR3 Diagnostic Reader

    Hello I have both a Disco 2 (TD5)and Disco 3 (2009) 2.7 Diesel and wanted to buy some sort of diagnostic reader. I have read that the Launch CRP123 is a good one. I don't want to pay much over £150 and was wondering which reader others feel is good for the home DIY mechanic Thanks

    Black stuff on my calfs

    Well I have a Disco 2 with running boards covered in some kind of rubber/plastic top liner. For ages when I wear shorts people have commented about the black stuff on the back of my calfs. It was not too concerned because when I have my annual bath I washed it off. Now that I am part retired I...

    Disco 2 Door Lock Actuator

    Many thanks for all your help. I have booked it in to have the actuator replaced. £85 for the part and £45 to fit. Not cheap but reasonable I thought for the fitting. I am not going to risk messing things up for £45 by trying to do it myself. I might ask for the old part to see if I can repair...
