I didn't expect this to be a difficult thing to find, and yet no matter where I look and what I search, all that seems to come up are flimsy looking options, mostly from AliExpress and Temu. I've had a few occasions recently where out of the blue I just have no power; could be unable to even...

Anyone know what the right fixings are for the wheel arch liners om the D2? A bunch of stuff on mine is very much in a "whatever works" state, and I'd like to do things properly, or at least make a proper decision on stuff as I'm fixing up. At present the outer row has oversized screws and...

Discovered (boom boom) that the front carpets are drenched underneath - but no signs of it above. No clue how long they've been like that. I've got the carpets out and drying in the lovely sun, so now I need to get to tracing where its all got in from. Could do with help not only where, but more...

Plan to fit new mud shields this week, and I'm assuming the bolts will be shot (assuming I can even get them out). What will I need by way of replacements? While at it, I'll be needing to remove the callipers and discs to get at them, right? Anything there I should be replacing once it's been...

Both my front wheels threw weights a few months ago, and then did it again within a week or two of getting them re-balanced. As a result, I'm now not sure if the road feedback I'm feeling is normal like I had before and I'm just being paranoid, or if something else could be wrong. So firstly it...

I'd like to be rid of all the rubber hoses in the engine bay. Sets for silicone air and coolant ones are easy to come by; but what about all of the other really little ones. Some are air, some vacuum, right? (Which are which?) I presume I can just get a length of something and cut to size as...

Driving down to London yesterday, 73 on cruise control, when I deactivated and pressed the accelerator I got almost no response. Engine was running, car was still moving more than a coast, but slowing down. Pulled over, ignition off, cloud of smoke (white/grey, one thought it looked a bit blue...

Well the weather combined with not really needing the car much makes it a good time to get underneath to clean and paint, right? Based on previous suggestions I have some mordant (freshly galvd chassis fitted last year) and enamel tractor paint coming on Monday, but first I'll have to give it a...

Lets start with the simplest, replacement brake hoses. I plan to get some braided ones, but I'm not certain if mine has been lifted. I suspect it may be a couple of inches higher than standard. looking at these, is there any reason not to get the extended ones just in case given that the normal...

Anyone know what part number I'm looking for for this sensor on a 2001 D2? This says only from 3A771055 (I'm 2A74...), but can't seem to find an alternative option for anything earlier.

Well, it's come round sooner than I'd hoped - won't pass the MOT with the current chassis. We've been saving, but aren't in a position to get the brand new galvanised one that we'd planned; but my mechanic has found one that's apparently in fantastic condition. Far from ideal, but that's just...

I'm looking around at guides and prices, and as far as I can tell you have to do most of the same work just to replace the boot as to replace the whole joint? I don't really have the gear to be confident of doing it myself, so just want want get the parts so I'm not paying some of the prices...

Between the engine and brake fluid reservoir, I've gathered so far they're vac pipes? One came loose and my brake pedal went rock solid. I'd like to clean and tidy them up but I'm not really sure what to do with them. Additionally there's two connectors out of shot and two plugs (one covered...

OK, straight up I am looking for a possible shortcut here, and I'm prepared to be disappointed. That fragile bleed hose connector on my radiator has cracked, so need to replace the unit. Going to do it over the weekend with some help. Anyone local welcome to come join the fun haha. I was hoping...

Specifically exhausts... Mine's blowing - can smell it at a stop with window open - and getting worse. Not too sure exactly where from just yet, need to try some ways to locate it. I'm thinking I may be able to do this myself (I'm learning bits and getting more confident), but am pretty...

Front passenger tyre is wearing like this on the outer edge. I'm aware its probably suspension related, but I'd like some pointers what to go looking at, probably in some detail, so I can hopefully have the parts when I take it to the garage. They'll be doing enough diagnosis work to find my oil...

I've looked some stuff up but just want to check a few details. I'm aware of the controversy about it & air suspension (which I don't have), but I'll let my insurer know, I already have uprated springs in there, and it'll not be used that much - never for an adult. This guide appears pretty...

Cam shaft looks in good condition. There seems to be some sort of coolant leak around the inlet; what should I look for to see if I should replace the whole flange? Garage suggested replacing what I think they said was the chain tensioner; but from what ive looked up the thing they showed me...

2001 Discovery 2 TD5 I had problems with a warped exhaust manifold previously, got it replaced, and it came loose again - this time throwing a stud altogether. In trying to replace the stud, the garage discovered the remnants of an old stud in the bottom of the hole, along with part of a drill...

I'm contemplating switching, but just want to know any other considerations to be aware of? I came across a pretty comprehensive guide on here recently, but can't seem to find it now. If I get a set of 16" alloys will they just bolt straight on in place of my current set? I'm currently on a...
