thank you

I've completely failed to get the watts linkage off my Discovery 2. The left side bolt/nut, near the exhaust isn't moving. I've tried cleaning the nut , lubing it and heat but no luck. I've combined too large spanners together for extra leverage but it still isn't moving. I also tried the...

Thank you. I will try that if my fix has failed

I recently just bought a starter repair kit and replaced the plunger, and cleaned the contacts, with the starter on the car so avoid the problem of removing the starter. Perhaps not a long term solution but working for me

Recently the starter motor has just been clicking and not starting consistently on my Discovery 2 td5. I bought a repair kit off Ebay for £11-13. Which had a new plunger and contacts. I took the lazy approach. I just replaced the plunger, and cleaned the contacts with a fibre pen, with the...

Thank you both

"You'll hear or feel the knock if it's worn." This is the problem. Seems to be the bushes in the middle assembly. Looks like I can remove the linkage myself? Do I need to take weight off the back of the car? Then I need to find someone that has a press so I can put in the new bushes? What...

Thank you. I will try that

We have a 2002/3 Discovery 2. When the car rocks left to right, for example going over a kerb or very pot holed road, it makes a strange knocking noise from the rear. Normally happens at slow speed and there is no noise when travel at speed if we have a speed bump. IE just a vertical...

Sorry James I'm not following you. "i find it best to close bleed nipple before letting pedal up then open for the next,but if no air was coming out its bled, bleed it normally not by pumping then opening the nipple" So have the helper press down the brake open the nipple and bleed close...

ok thank you so maybe something else then?

I foolishly decided to bleed the brakes on my Discovery 2 on Sunday (as they were getting soft). I followed the Haynes Manual. I had a helper pump the brake a couple of times, then hold it down as I released the bleed nut and let air/fluid come out. I repeated until no more air/bubbles came out...

Thank you. I'm trying to order one. Is there a good youtube link on how to remove rivets and re rivets this handle. Plus is there a trick for getting the panel back on with the hook for the latch. The one that fits into the top of the panel and hooks onto the latch so you can unlock the...

The rear right passenger door will not open (from the inside). I took off the door panel. The hook, at the end of the cable between the handle and latch, that attached to the latch has come loose. The hook is medal and inserts into a hole in a plastic attachment, on the inside of the handle...

I topped up the oil in the diffs and transfer box on the weekend. While under there I checked for play in the transfer box and there was 1-2 degrees (not much at all) at the rear of the box. While none at all at the front. I decided this was ok since the car was running nicely and smoothing...
