As already said the best magazine was Land Rover Enthusiast,sadly no more. Big point for me is lack of stories about Disco 1's and 2's. I think there are more Disco's out there than series and defenders. Just count how many Discos you see every day. Still, I get LRO and LRM on subscription every...

Thanks Biggee Have sent PM Jim A

Thanks, vanmancan. Will need to find someone with a Hawkeye? first. Anyone in Renfrewshire/Glasgow area who could help? Have been looking at cost of replacement switch. Unbelievable £260- £380 app. Found an excellent post on an Australian LR forum with photos on how to repair the unit...

Have read every M&S post i can find on a search and now seeing green lights in my sleep. New to TD5 and twice I have had the M&S lights on. First time I put it down to a slack battery terminal. Second time I ran through all the gears twice and lights went away. As a great believer in...

Hello All, Learning about my Disco 2002 Td5. Query on OAT a/freeze. Have lots of blue A/F in garage from my 300 Tdi. Know that I cannot use this. However , on a visit to B&Q today noticed that they now have a large section of motoring stuff. mainly cosmetics. In amongst they have bottles of...

Have you thought about adding 2stroke oil when filling up? There is great controversy about this. I had been putting 2SO into my old Disco1 for over a year and with 122k there was NO smoke at all. Appreciate old fashioned engine against TDV6, Suggest you ask on the Disco3/4 site about use...

I can't see on your post if you have been onto the Disco 3 forum DISCO3.CO.UK - Index. They have section for Disco 4's on there. Super forum for Disco 3/4's Try there for some help cheers Jim A ------------------ 2002 Disco 2 Td5 auto 1996 300Tdi auto(gone)

Hello Pam, by the two lights do you mean the "M&S" lights. I also am new to Td5's but I had this problem recently. Engine would run OK and drove home fine. Check the negative battery terminal. Maybe ok to start engine etc but will not stop the M*S lights. I couldn't get the terminal any tighter...

when parking with tight turns, quite heavy and really have to pull the wheel round. Next step will probably be the PAS pump. Just trying everything before that I can. Found the info after i did a search on "Disco 2 heavy steering" and read down the articles. Have sent an email to the OP and...

Tyres at 32 lbs. Knuckles on steering shaft leathered with WD40 to start, Grease spray and 3in 1 oil spray. Steering still heavy. Have come across this in search of possible cause. There is a filter at bottom of reservoir which can get choked up. With 100k on car is this wise to take apart and...

How good is your battery? Try a jumpstart from cold and see if there is a difference. I had an 18 month old battery which just wouldn't turn the engine fast enough from cold but then would start all day instantly after the initial start up. Some thing else to check before getting expensive...

+ 2 for thermostat replacement. Had the same on my Disco1 about 6 years ago, changed the Thermostat and wonderful heat within 2-3 miles every time. cheers jim --------------- 2002 Disco 2 auto 1996 300Tdi auto(gone)

Hello Stevie, Came across your post after a search. Just got a Disco 2 after 9 years of a Disco 1. Only problem is Heavy steering at low speed. From your post It looks quite a simple job to check this filter. And from other comments seems to self bleed. After you have now done the job I...

Took car into my own garage 8am today. Open instruction to check all oils and change if necessary. Garage owner is very good. Collected car at 3pm today with a very good report all round, except steering. Report:- Car has been well looked after. All oils, engine, autobox, transfer box and...

Thanks biglad, Have had many posts from you over the years with my 300Tdi auto. Car was in good order, no rust, well serviced BUT i just took a notion to change. Whoever gets my 300 will get a good car. Yes, I will do some jobs my self but have put the car in tomorrow to the garage who has...

Now I won,t sleep properly. Will be dreaming about gaskets, bearings etc instead of nubile young ladies (and me 72) Bought and paid for but with a 3 months warranty. I will have a full service done and start from scratch. Jim A -------------- 2002 Disco 2 auto 1996 300Tdi auto(gone)

Is there a certain engine number from which forward was the problem was resolved? Also from which number was the plastic dowels on the head fixed? Trying to isolate possible problems. Thanks Jim A _---------- 2002 Disco 2 auto 1996 300 Tdi auto (gone)

Just an update folks. I asked the garage referred to in previous post how much it would cost for the service info. Was told £50.+VAT. Answer= Thanks but no thanks. Funnily enough i checked the air filter element which is spotless and the date 13/07/13 written on it. Anyway , will put car in...

As said above. WD40 and lots of it to loosen handle catch .But remember that WD40 is NOT a lubricant. After getting the handle working spray it with spray on grease, which will stay there and do it every so often. cheers Jim A. ------------------ 2002 Disco 2 Auto 1996 300Tdi auto...
