Hi all - I used to have the name of a chap in Brighton (I think) who was an expert on Discoverys - I need a head changed and few other jobs done. What I have is 2000 Series 2 - which I have had from new - its got about 150k miles on the clock and is beginning to throw vapour from the exhaust and...

Thanks Giff - finally found and cleaned it and it seems fine now - many thanks for your time and advice.

I did'nt know what the map sensor was until today and I spotted it on the inlet manifold. I cleaned it out will with carb cleaner and an air line. Back to together now and seems fine. Thanks again for your time and advice.

Hi Sierrafery and thanks for your advice. I removed and cleaned the EGR - the inlet pipe from the exhaust was completely blocked with gunge - similar to that found on rocker covers / oil fillers when there had been an ingress of water into the sump. Can't imagine where this came from. In any...

Hi all - On a D2 TD5 2000 model with 180k miles, I get a momentary dead spot when accelerating - Its not at any particular RPM - only happens when accelerating and lasts for less than a second. When the accelerator is pressed gently is doesn't happen or is not noticable. I have tried...

Hi Mike is my name from Ireland. I have had almost every Landrover that was made since 1965 and have completed a couple of major restorations on S3s. My present disco (a Series 2) has lost is "hill dencent beeper" and I would like to know if it can be replaced. It seems to be "a pizzo" at the...
