Wanted to give some feedback to problem . Was in indeed a wire shorting out - thanks for the help

I tried to get a photo showing the correct light which illuminated ( same light as the manual has ) . This photo was taken of my auto Disco , the only one I had access to at work this morning ( manual version was at home some 60kms away) . Going to check connections this weekend and take it...

Also need to mention , all gearbox oil levels checked and are all ok

Helping a friend with his Disco 2 TD5, P10 engine manual transmission. We have the said warning light coming on after about 5 min of driving ( so soon as engine is up to temp). This light will only or flickering at low revs (such as at idle) but as soon as revs are up it goes out. Any ideas...

Update : This past weekend had the opportunity to also block off said oil cooler hose on my friends Disco 2 2000 model with P10 engine. His could also be blocked off only on the thick side (cooler side ) and ignoring the thin pipe all together as I did to my P18 Disco 2. The Disco's I worked on...

Sorry for not mentioning it you are 100 pct correct. If I had a 10P engine , or if EGR was fitted ex factory, I would be very careful only blocking the one pipe . In any event hope it is of some use to someone else doing the job in future . Once again thank you very much for your assistance ...

Just some feedback , the blank off kit I got locally in Johannesburg was only to block off the oil cooler side , thicker pipe and it worked . I think it is safe to say that if your truck was supplied with the EGR delete from factory (as is the case with my 2002 and 2004 Disco's) with P18 or P19...

Thank you very much, was worried about that..... Wil do

Am currently away from home camping at a game reserve some 250kms from home and need to fix a waterleak tomorrow before going home on Wednesday. The small rubber pipe, see foto attached, split. This pipe is situated at back of engine attached to oil cooler housing assembly, close to turbo, but...

For those who may be interested , we flushed the engine and heater core with a hose , easy and worthwhile exercise . A lot of Rubbish came out . Can't work on it this weekend so next weekend water pump to be replaced , new thermostat and pipes, then run with distilled water only for a few miles...

Thanks for the info

Thanks will look for it . If you have not flushed your radiator yet , suggest you do as this is one of the most overlooked service items. As a matter of interest these are the pipes against the bulk head that I am referring to , going to heater core , that I would like to know which one is the...

Hi , have not been active for a while working on my other project cars and my two Disco 2s have been behaving well. My friend recently decided to buy a Disco 2 and now the fun has started . Busy going through it to make sure all ok and realized the previous owner did not have anti freeze in...

Hi , thanks for reply and sorry for only reverting now , been running around . Did a bit more research and all mentioned was done 100 % already . The only trick that I can still try is to remove transfer box again , replace the already new seal with another and shorten the spring on the seal a...

Have recently had to pull my gearbox to fix syncros , box was repaired no oil leaks and working 100 % on TD 5 2004 model (with 98k original kms on clock). Problem now is that I have similar oil leak as shown in photo above as per one of the previous posts . It is a pretty bad leak and have...
