    I think my turbo may be failing...

    Does this noise start around 2000rpm and is your engine modified? If so it could be that your exhaust manifold has warpped and the noise is exhaust gas leaking, mine is doing this just now and I have a second manifold in the machine shop getting skimmed which I intend to swap over soon...

    ABS fault - intermitent

    So we should listen you why?? :confused: You have one post and start sprouting about a system that you don't understand. If you had ever worked on a Disco 2 with an ABS fault you would know that disconnecting just one of the sensors would disable the system but the car is still drivable...

    Hi Sierraferry I was hoping you'd help out, Yes the code has been cleared every time then the car has been taken fot a test run to check everything is ok. we've been using a Fault mate to read the codes. I'll give the earth wire a try and see what happens.

    Clutch and Fly wheel change

    cheers for the info, would never have thought about the slave cylinder. Do you have a part number for the spigot bush, I've looked on mircocat and can't find it.

    Clutch and Fly wheel change

    I have to change my Clutch and flywheel along with CV joint and both axel ball joints this weekend as I don't think they'll last much longer. The axel ball joints are not a problem as I've done one on the other side, they just take ages to do. My worry is the clutch, is there anything I should...

    smoking td5

    When I got mine remapped I was told that the Mid box was bad for collecting soot and other crap and make the car look like it's smoking. so as Johnboy say's time to get the Lead soled boots on and it for a blast. the problem can be solved by putting a mid box replacement pipe in.

    Left turn Traction Control

    Disco 2 TD5, traction control kicks in when turning left and nearly stops the car dead in the road. No alarms stored so looking at a hub, from what I've read and what I can figure out it's looking like the drivers side front. Am I correct in my thinking before I buy the wrong hub?

    Been Demoted

    Well my father in law has just confirmed for me that the battery is fubar, battery tester won't even register it's connected to a battery and it won't light up a brake light. So off to Costco at lunch for a new battery.

    Been Demoted

    tis a Disco 2 TD5 first thing I did was check the fuses under the bonnet and everything is ok. The battery is the one the Land Rover fitted on the production line so I can't complain to much about that, its driving the Hippo I'm more annoyed about.

    Got into the Disco this morning to leave for work and nothing, no lights on the dash not even the clock was working. Having parked the car last night at 10pm really wasn't expecting any problems this morning at 6:45 :confused:, think the battery cells have collapsed. So I've had to take her...

    Gearstick / Gearbox problem?

    Try changing the Gearbox Oil. When I firt got my Disco 2 it was the same after a long run, the Local Dealer told me there was nothing they could do it a Disco thing (only took it there as it was under warranty). Changed the oil myself and it was like a different gearbox.

    Help! Engine cut out on dual carriageway...

    The Pump would have cut out when the engine stopped. If you can hear the pump I would say it's ok. From what you describe it's the injector seals they cost pennys and take a couple of hours to fit just make sure everything is very clean when it goes back together. There is a how to guide on...
