Our disco 2 stopped working well when my Mrs was driving it. She got recovered to a garage. They are saying it runs with lots of smoke on the start up. They think there is diesel in the dip stick. They suspect a cracked head. They are saying 2k for a specialist to get a new head and fit the...

New hose on. It was a real pain. I've taken for a drive after refilling and bleeding. I'm not losing coolant. I will monitor over the next couple of journeys. Thank you for the help everyone. Unfortunately the 3 amigos has now come on :)

Hope not.

I've found the pipe that has a hole. It's from the bottom of the EGR. I think it's this hose https://bearmach.com/egr-cooler-hose-peh000310r?glCountry=GB&glCurrency=GBP&gclid=Cj0KCQjwka_1BRCPARIsAMlUmEo-P4s16_rqCzz8kVhtH5B2S9Vzzz8ntzGJ09NA4ml1B6uVeKGxrm4aAihtEALw_wcB

Found these diagrams I think the leak is coming from the bottom left of the connection to the radiator and coolant is being blown back. How do I take the bottom panel off so I can see that is going on.

The coolant finally arrived and I filled up. I can't find an obvious leak but the coolant level is dropping quickly as the car is rev. I left the car idle then filled up then idled again and filled up to the every top. I have a top bleed screw on a hose so bleed some air. Then I got my...

Thank you the new starter installed quickly

We were driving back at night 40 mins each way when Mrs B was driving. She noted that the temp gauge when to zero. Which on our td5 means it's over heating. The next day I put about 4l into it. Used for for short journeys. Then the Mrs used for a longer journey and the same overheating...

Not having a good run with out Disco. The day before lockdown we picked the car up after a gearbox change. Then I had to pick up the Mrs and get the car recovered after the started when. I fitted a reconditioned on. Now we have a coolant leak. Mileage is about 180k. At 153k I replaced the...

I took the starter out of our Disco 2. Their were only two bottom bolts to undo so wasn't too hard. It had decided not to start. I had previously cleaned the solenoid and contracts so this time I figured something more serious was wrong. I cleaned again but it would not run from a battery...

Thank you for yours help. The garage were able to decide for them that the clutch and flywheel were ok.

Unfortunately my phone seems to have auto corrected the heading How to Know if Clutch and Flywheel Need Changing

It appears the gearbox needs replacing on our td5. The clutch and flywheel where changed about 2 years ago and the garage want to change them again. A clutch and flywheel should be good for more than 20k. However, I can't get them to give me an opinion and they want to send me pictures to...

Can anybody point me to a diagram of the routing of the wire from the rear right to box? My Haynes manual wasn't much help?

Ok so probably need to check the rest of the wire from sensor to ecu?
