Thanks for your reply, just googled team and they look perfect but unfortunately the speed rating isn't high enough. I completely agree that I really want to match rear and fronts, even more annoying as my grabbers are only a year old!

hi All It time to change my front tyres on my d2, I have replaced the rears with General grabber AT's and think they are great.........but general have yet again changed the tread pattern and now call them the AT 3 (no I don't understand why they have gone AT-AT2 back to AT and now AT3 either!)...

Brill thanks for your reply, I have swapped the relay and fuse over with othe known working ones and now if I as it to raise it doesn't work and the sls warning light on the dash (picture of the vehicle with two arrows pointing up and down) has come on! Any suggestions?!

hi all My d2 air compressor has been noisy for a couple of weeks and now has stopped working altogether, on the internet I see you can buy repair kits (piston rings and such) has anybody done this with success or should I look at replacing the unit? Thanks

Hi all Last night my disco would not start, so this morn have accessed the fuel pump to see if this is the problem, but when I attach it to a remote battery it will run (although it thE car still wouldn't start) there is no voltage to the plug other than the sender wire, have checked and swapped...

Ok well I suggest not messing with cat at all as emissions from v8 are really hi as it is, probably best to set a budget and get the best you can, just bare in mind that changing back pressure can alter how the engine performs and in extreme cases send ECU haywire. Probably best changing rear...

There has been abit of talk about exhausts for D2 v8 with no real answer! It depends if you just want to swap the silencers or start at the cat and work back, and also do you want mild steel or stainless, price will change massively, but one word of advice is don't buy cheap they usually are a...

Few things to check (sure other landyzone users will add more to this list) Check radiator hoses are not over pressurised after running, even better take a block tester kit with you to check for exhaust gasses in coolant, this will eliminate head and gasket problems and also my problem which was...

Hi, I recently bought a 2000 es v8 with only 100k on the clock, good service history to about 80k, but I have now clocked up £1000s in bills as have had to replace air springs and compressor, shocks all round several coolant pipes, radiator thermostat etc.........oh and a new engine!!!!! Ouch...

Thanks peter, bleed pipe is also new and definitely working ok, think it's just me being paranoid as have had sooooo many problems with this disco it's unbelievable!!! Why have you gone through so many water pumps?

I agree with higgo 17s are not standard but could be after market wheels, I am running the new grabber at's 255/18 which are fantastic, no road noise unlike the late at'2s but still aggressive enough to pull the big lump out of some sticky stuff, I got my at's online from tyre pnues and paid...

Not sure what you will achieve by removing it as it does pretty much nothing until the heat from the rad is hot enough to make it activate, should imagine if you're having troubles with it warming up then a new thermostat would be worth investing in, remember there should be no circulation...

Hi sorry that this reply is months to late but did you get your pipes, I had exact same problem with my d2 v8 and finally tracked some down after three days of searching internet and hundreds of telephone calls!!!! I could have punched someone if I heard the phrase got the ones for a td5 but not...

Hi all Yet another problem with my 2000 v8 disco, or possibly just me being landrover paranoid!! Recently it has had new stripped engine (turner engineering) new head gaskets, heads pressure tested and skimmed, new radiator, top hose assembly and thermostat. Problem is is the top hose still gets...

Thanks everybody for replies, sounds like I should look at bypassing the wire at fault, probably stick a new shuttle valve in at the same time anyway as they are relatively cheap in landrover terms!!!
