    Disco 2 Emergency disable ACE

    It would mean either paying someone to fit it (and who knows what else will turn up) or having the car off the road for ages as I don't have time to do it myself. Neither is an attractive proposition. The Discovery has served me well for 10 years and 70,000 miles so although I had every...

    Disco 2 Emergency disable ACE

    Green. I've had a series of faults recently culminating in having to have it lifted to Astwood. Hopefully will be sorted this week!

    I hope Rob finishes my D2 before starting on yours!

    Disco 2 Td5 eka

    I think as Fery suggested that tool is giving you false information.

    Disco 2 Fuel leak around filter

    Yes, the filter housings can develop cracks / pinholes which allow leakage. Had to have mine changed recently.

    Disco 2 Oil Leak

    And I believe that one is much harder to get at than the front.....

    Disco 2 Blowing exhaust manifold, again. Probably need new cylinder head; what am I looking at?

    I too have been successful in recovering over £10,000 in the small claims court from a shyster company. However, it is by no means easy and will give you sleepless nights. The problem it seems to me is that you will have 2 (or maybe even 3) companies all blaming the others and with no physical...

    Disco 2 Td5 no power (also "burping") when engaging first gear. Problem and solution. for info

    Flooring the throttle when trying to start is the standard air purging procedure.

    Disco 2 Oil Leak

    It is an easy job to change the front seal.

    Disco 2 What Mileage is your D2 on?

    172,000 - 2001 Td5 auto. Running as sweet as a nut - just done a 600 mile round trip to near Edinburgh from Brum.

    Disco 2 Auto for towing?

    Autos tow perfectly well. The only slight issue is that on long uphill motorway sections etc at 50-ish mph it can "hunt" between 3rd and 4th. You can get round this by either selecting 3rd or (sometimes) going into Sport mode. I have been using my auto for 10 years and wouldn't go back to...

    Disco 2 Towing electrics

    That just looks like the 12N connections. You need a permanent live, ignition switched live, and 2 earths for the 12S fridge / battery charging (dependent on the year of the caravan). I ran 2 heavy duty wires along the chassis from the engine compartment, secured with cable ties. I have seen...

    Disco 2 Discovery 2 Launch Video

    Thanks for that. I liked the section showing ACE working while they towed a Defender.

    Disco 2 Daily runner

    Why not use the D2? It's not going to melt. I've been using mine as a daily driver for 10 years now and have no intention to change (except of course when I use the bikes!) Having said that, as mentioned the D2 is a big beast and sometimes hard to find an appropriate parking spot.
