    Disco 2 Burst a bag converting to springs

    Bags are service items, they should be replaced every 5 years and more if you do off roading.

    Disco 2 Td5 Cold starting issue

    I suspect that the caps are the issue then. 3 were really poor and one was reasonable. Not one was good. I will replace them for the next winter. Thanks a million once again Sierraferry

    Disco 2 Td5 Cold starting issue

    we did, all the old ones were not working so they were replaced, this didn't make a difference for the starting. The caps were falling apart and we put them on as good as we could. I will get the caps from a breaker as I think they are part of the engine loom? Could this be the issue? I mean...

    Disco 2 Td5 Cold starting issue

    Tested the relay, all fine. Didn't put the bleeding valve in yet although it did arrive, as the Disco suddenly decided to start perfectly again??? Now it is 9 degrees instead of 2 degrees but can this be such a difference? I still like to replace the caps of the plugs as they seem dodgy to me...

    Disco 2 Td5 Cold starting issue

    OK all glow plugs were shot so they have been replaced. The caps were rotten so need to see how I am going to replace them as it seems you can't buy them separately.

    Disco 2 Td5 Cold starting issue

    No fault codes logged, did look at injector balance but can't remember what they read (I know, I am getting old) will read them again. What is acceptable for the injector inbalance? Will try glow plugs (I did get new ones already) and air bleed valve as well as they are the cheap bits indeed...

    Disco 2 Td5 Cold starting issue

    Hi all, I have an issue with starting in the mornings, it has become progressively worse. First it ran a bit rough but started. Then when I turned the key it would go but died again. Now I have to start twice and it runs rough at first. I have tried purging before starting but that doesn't make...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) After Market Radio install problems

    And while I am asking question; do you happen to know where the closest wire is for the reverse switch from the head unit? Need that for the reverse camera ;)

    The FL2 is from 2008. It is the grey/yellow and orange for the steering wheel controls isn't it? I will get a wire from the lighter now. Cheers
