Hey up guys, got an 03 auto td5 disco. I’ve only had it for 8/9 months or so and, as far as I know, it’s only been on 5w30. I put new (5w30) oil & filters in it about 6,000 miles ago. It’s now time to do it again and I am about to put some 5w40 (PD comma full synthetic) in it along with two...

Never been so embarrassed ever…. I’ve always driven manuals. And It was in Drive… put it in park and it whirred up. Thanks everyone. Have some new things to tinker with even if they are working now.

Thank you. Don’t suppose you know of any handy guides re solenoid replacement do you? Just of the top of your head- I’m looking for some now so no worries. Thanks again.

Hi all, Finally bought my Land Rover this Sunday past. 2003 auto TD5. It’s awesome Thanks all so much for all of your advice. Really appreciate it. Edit 15.05.22 it’s just immobilised itself. Nanocom’s still on the way.

Thank you. Disc 2 TD5

Is this the legit nanocom? https://www.nanocom-diagnostics.com/shop/product/ncom02 Will it allow me to turn off the immobilizer and allow disabling the alarm with the key? Many thanks

That’s really interesting and good to hear! The LR I’m looking at now has had ACE deleted but I don’t know to what extent. I’d love to re-install it at some point. Along with the air Suspension.

Nice. I’m planning on it haha. I’d like to keep the disco going for as long as possible. Will obv need a new chassis engine … everything at some point. Just trying to eek it out

Yep! Near as makes no difference anyway. Are you near-ish? Do you own a disco?

Very helpful to know. Thanks !!!!

Thank you (and thanks everyone) ! what do you mean by Drivetrain slop? Slow change of gears ? Will the rear drive shaft or front prop need changing ? Soon? Do you reckon

If you check the comments on this video there are at least two who are asking the uploader about having a similar problem. You may find some ideas there.

This is awesome Steve. Really nice to see a D2 being cared for. Good luck!!!

Hi Steve thanks for the advice. I would have thought that to change the bags you’d need to get it up on a ramp. Is that not the case? Apologies for laziness I will look this up myself now. Also, don’t suppose you could run your eye over this other thread I made...

Hi all, Hopefully I will soon be purchasing a 2003 air, auto, td5, 90,000 mile D2. Edit: Update - This turned out to be a total dog. Rusted out interior doors barely opened. Liquid levels all low. No electrics worked. No thanks. Now looking at an auto 2003 td5 150,000. But immaculate...

Hi all, Im hopefully buying a 2003 D2 (auto diesel) 90,000 m soon. I have a little bit of money to spend on repairs/servicing when I get it and am trying to budget it out. I am planning on swapping out the air suspension bags with new ones. Do you know how much that will cost? Not ness...

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Hey up all, Do you think that a Discovery 2 is right for me based on the below? Is buying one a decision I’ll live to regret? Firstly it would be my “main car” not a weekend hobby. I do 15,000 miles annually and drive a 25 mile round trip to work mon-fri either on an A-road or country lanes. I...
