A disco 2 on air springs won’t wallow like you think. Definitely worth considering unless your mind is set on a disco 3. But then a low spec on coils will also wallow like a disco 2 on coils. -

A friend of mine had a disco 3 and her experience put me off getting one. Aside from the ridiculous excise duty, it had two failed TDV6 engines. After the second failure, unsurprisingly it was sold. This is probably quite an extreme case but both...

I thought you were asking questions about the potential cost of owning a D3? Find some for sale, see if you like them, check them over and post the pics/reports on here and you’ll get some valuable feedback on the actual vehicles. If you don’t...

PopPops replied to the thread Getting in my discovery td5.As per what Ferry said, but do you have another key fob you can try? Also, if you are very lucky, sometimes if you hold the fob as close to the RF receiver in the roof near the rear sunroof and operate unlock it will unlock. Good luck.

PopPops replied to the thread Td5 discovery 2 struggling to start and running rough.Check out http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Injector%20Seals.html The copper washers can cause your symptoms. The seals will only cause diesel in the oil. They are fairly easy to change.

PopPops replied to the thread Discovery 2 2004 HSE find radio code (before disconnecting the battery).Just checked, mine is definitely a *4* digit code and it is the R990 radio, which I think is the same as yours, “top of the range” at the time. I have disconnected the battery since and the code in the manual is the correct one!!

PopPops replied to the thread Discovery 2 2004 HSE find radio code (before disconnecting the battery).+1 ^ it’s the way I did it when I first got mine. I found the radio code scribbled in the handbook and also the EKA code. You can’t change the radio code as you can the EKA.

To be on the safe side, use a set of jump leads to maintain continuity between the new batt and the terminals on the car while changing it. Our local Motabitz does this every time they change a batt, unless it obviously don't need it. Then you...

Where is James Martin when you need him? He'd know, so sorry he left. The problem seems to be in the thrust-bearing, clutch lever, clutch fingers area. As depressing the pedal isn't making the clutch disengage. Is the fulcrum right? Is the...
