    Disco 2 Front Prop shaft going?

    03 TD5 auto Hello, I get a fair bit of vibration at high speeds, high eves and occasionally whilst turning. Suspect front prop, am I in the right ball park? (Pas pump just done, although a bit of play steering components seem ok/acceptable). There’s also a funny sound. Can’t describe it...

    Disco 2 Power Steering Pump removal

    Hey up, (TD5 03 auto) Can you ‘slide’ the PAS pump out from within its housing? Or do you need to fully remove the housing on top of it? The few YouTube videos I’ve found on the subject (bar Atlantic British’s fantastic tutorial on the petrol) all take out the housing above the pump, and all...

    Disco 2 PAS problems

    Right oh cheers mate. If I took the pump out would that work? Thinking about it wouldn’t that leave the belt slack?

    Disco 2 PAS problems

    Hey up guys. TLDR: How long can I driver without any PAS fluid (I am resigned to the fact I need a new pump). Will it damage anything? Always been a weird hissing noise at full lock. Never thought anything of it. Tuesday night/ Wednesday morn massive squealing noise from o engine bay right...

    Disco 2 Is this safe? TD5 5w30 change to 5w40

    Funnily enough it was you who put me on to it, albeit indirectly. I’ve spent a bit of time reading around the internet on oil for TD5s; and found some posts from you a couple of years ago arguing for it. Convinced me!

    Disco 2 Is this safe? TD5 5w30 change to 5w40

    Isn’t there something to using thicker oils for older engines. As it compensates for worn parts. Or is that an old wife’s tale?

    Disco 2 Is this safe? TD5 5w30 change to 5w40

    Hey up guys, got an 03 auto td5 disco. I’ve only had it for 8/9 months or so and, as far as I know, it’s only been on 5w30. I put new (5w30) oil & filters in it about 6,000 miles ago. It’s now time to do it again and I am about to put some 5w40 (PD comma full synthetic) in it along with two...

    Disco 2 Engine won’t start

    Never been so embarrassed ever…. I’ve always driven manuals. And It was in Drive… put it in park and it whirred up. Thanks everyone. Have some new things to tinker with even if they are working now.

    Disco 2 Engine won’t start

    Thank you. Don’t suppose you know of any handy guides re solenoid replacement do you? Just of the top of your head- I’m looking for some now so no worries. Thanks again.
