Hello, my hoses leaked the lot in about 15 minutes, the pipes were rotten! My sons took the pipes off and took the to a place that made them from hydraulic pipe, and had a compression joint to join these ends, they attached them and put it together but it started leaking from the valve block...

ThankYou all for the advice. My son is sorting this for me and has managed to get two compression joints and was wondering whether anyone has got the two pipes which go into the block. As long as they are about 8 inches long and the ends are in good condition, he could then connect them to the...

Hello, is there anyone who can help? The rear ACE pipes had corroded on my discovery 2, I have had them made up with hydraulic pipes but I have now come to another problem. Where they go into the valve block I have found out that where the flange is on both pipes the end is still in the valve...

I never got around to looking at it today, if it’s sitting without moving the steering wheel their is no noise. As soon as I try to turn the steering it whines but I can turn it so far and once I let go of the wheel there is no noise. If I’m driving along and turn I can turn and the whine is...

Hello, sorry to bother you so soon but please could you tell me whether the bleed nipple is undone by a socket or another way please? I am going to have a look now and see how I get on. I hope it’s just a case of bleeding it and all being good, but then again with the luck I have been having...

ThankYou for the information, I will give this a go tomorrow morning. I was looking in the wrong place, now I know, I can give it a try. How hard is it to replace the pump please? Do you know what this black plastic pipe would be which appears appears to come up from the passenger side front...

ThankYou for the advice you have all given, I have today gone over it all again and found the pipe from the egr valve to the modulator had broken into many pieces, each time I touched it I found another break. It seems that the pipe is disintegrating because it’s crumbling, I had some pipe off...

Hello, ThankYou for replying, mine still has the EGR connected, I’ve just been to the hospital for an appointment and back home and it does appear to have a bit better power going up hills, I don’t know whether this is my imagination but it does seem slightly better since I joined it back...

Hello, I need some advice please, I was topping up the radiator reservoir yesterday on my 2000 discovery 2 td5 Automatic. I noticed tucked down the drivers side of the engine was a vacuum pipe or at least that’s what I think it is, it had a right angle elbow but the lower pipe which came up from...
