So jack up and repair one side at a time? I hadn’t thought of that.

I’ve got a spot of bother…. 2004 TD5, air suspension…. One of the ride height sensors went defective and over pressurised the rear air spring on the driver’s side (RHD car). 5 minutes after parking in my garage there’s was an almighty bang as the air spring exploded, the other air spring...

I can vouch for the exploding air bag! Just parked the car in the garage, 5 minutes later and BANG! Looking on the bright side, the car was in the garage and not on the drive and now I don’t have to faff around depressurising the system!

The title says it all. Can you convert a late D2 to LED headlights? I live in Canberra, Australia so I am either trundling around the city or taking my life in my hands at night against kangaroos with a deathwish and they can do a LOT of damage to a car. Intention would be to leave the dipped...

discovery2.co.uk covers this issue very well. Long story short, insist on OEM parts, accept nothing less.

I would be cautious about blaming the electronics before eliminating everything else. My 2004 Disco 2 Td5 (Daisy) has 355,000+ km on the clock and while she has had her mechanical moments, none of the sensors, electronics or ECUs have given me any trouble whatsoever and I have owned her since...

Daisy's (2004 Td5 Landmark - UK model that emigrated to Oz when we did) aircon blower fan isn't blowing and we live in Australia so we need this fixed asap. Can't find anything on the forum that matches so it's over to the brains trust. Here's the symptoms: When Daisy starts in the morning...

My FPR is also in need of work. Daisy is 15 and has needed FPR work almost exactly every 5 years. First time it went a local (and very good) garage changed the whole unit, did a good job but charged me 100s. Second time it went I bought a repair kit off ebay and did it myself for about $40...

I've had a search on this subject and most of the hits are regarding Series and Defenders. Daisy is a 2004 Disco 2. I spend a lot of time on the road between Canberra and Melbourne in the dark; pitch black middle-of-nowhere dark and there are kangaroos lurking. For those of you outside...

Yep! Actual Evian.

Oops! TD5

I am sure this has been covered already but I can't find it. Long story short, I need to drain the entire coolant system because my current coolant is Evian! (I kid you not! The hose connecting the engine to the heater matrix split on the way to Melbourne. Luckily it happened all of 100yds...

A quick temporary workaround if you are suffering from 'Disco saggy bottom'. When you park the car, raise the rear suspension before you shut down. The leak is likely in a fold of the air bag and raising the suspension moves the fold. It should keep the rear end up overnight and save you...

A really unscientific way to implicate air in the fuel is to park the car facing downhill (the steeper the better). If starting is less difficult then it suggests that the air bubbles have tracked back to the tank instead of draining the cylinder head. Another clue is a lot of wheezing noises...
