Agree 100%!!! Great car to work on, but really, if you sort out several of the Achilles heels, then it's a pleasure to drive and reliable! Great thing is there is lots of info, guides, videos on the web, forums, RAVE and Haynes manuals, and a wide range of relatively (mostly) cheap new (LR...

Thanks for the detailed response. That sounds promising! I must say, the Land Rover door internals access is way better than German cars! I have done three locks on the Disco, but please don't talk to me about VW! I changed a door lock mechanism on a VW CC - bloody nightmare of a thing that...

Couldn't find the Bosch ones second time around - not sure if they are obsolete. The Lucas ones came from a good/popular online LR parts supplier - just said "aftermarket" and found out they were Lucas when they came through the mail - they look perfect in every way, but the spot the passenger...

Fantastic response! Water in the motor! Does that mean I might need a new motor as well?

Driver's window goes up and down fine, but when it goes down it's a little shaky/noisy. All other windows are fine. Remember with the locks that the driver's one went first (more use). Just wondering whether I should just buy a new mechanism first before I pull the door card off, or if it's...

Last several weeks I've noticed a bit of noise from the top/side of the A-pillar on the driver's side; particularly noticeable when there's a bit of wind. I had a look at these plastic A-pillars - not cheap! Any suggestions? Has anyone else experienced this?

2003 Discovery 2 Front Passenger Sun Visor Vanity Mirror The light (when the mirror flap is lifted up) isn't working - is this easy to fix? Can the vanity mirror be levered off the visor - assuming it clips in. Does anyone have any experience with this - changing the globe/LED?

2003 Disco 2 I have changed the electro-mechanical locks on three of the door over the years - all good. Just recently noticed the driver's power window is a little noisy (shakes/jitters a bit) when I press the button to lower it. Is this the window carrier (not sure what the term is)? Buy a...

2003 Discovery 2 facelift model I have the original front wiper arms (use a flat blade screwdriver to slide the lock across and hold the wiper blade) - the driver's side has the spoiler on the wiper arm, the passenger side has no spoiler. Now, the front blades I had on were Bosch Twin 807 -...

There are other kits around with the gaskets, o-rings and pressure regulator you have shown - it has a diaphragm inside which likely leaked. I had an awful lot of prob's with this one some years ago, but maybe X8R have improved it?

Yes, I bought the air compressor overhaul kit from BagpipingAndy (eBay). I also thoroughly cleaned and dried the inlet air white fibre filter disc hidden behind the passenger side tail-light; there is another sponge-like filter there that had disintegrated (cut a piece of car cleaning sponge to...

Currently 600AUD (343GBP) for the VDO fuel pump here in Australia! Land Rover Genuine = 790AUD (452GBP)!

Had a new Contitech air bag at home because the passenger side back would go down from time to time (changed the driver's side about a year or so earlier). Was pulling a trailer and it went completely, so stopped after a few kilometers in a flat, very quite, suburban street and my wife brought...

If it's been done before (or faulty/chafed HP line accessed) then the carpet will have already been pulled back, so should be fairly easy to access the second time around - no need to remove trims - just push carpet back.

No real issues with rust in Australia in general - no salt on the roads. The small oil leaks keep things well protected!

D2 2003 Td5 (facelift model) - love it! No transmission or engine issues since purchased new! I do my own regular servicing and have learned quite a lot - especially from people here on Landyzone. Here's what I've personally done myself since purchasing new in 2003 (now 19 years old and most...

Easy to do? Described in RAVE?

Thanks for the feedback - might try the "on the move" method then! Seems like it is normally a bit stiff then - I do get it to move, but I just wondered if it was normal for it to be stubborn? Transfer box fill level is fine.

I did my second rear SLS airbag a week ago - it's been in there since 2003 (original LR), so 18-19 years of service - not bad! I did the other original LR one on the other side two years ago, so now I'm on the second set - both Contitech. Compressor is running well, but I did buy an overhaul...

Used the CDL on the weekend, all good, but the selector is very stiff and clunky? Does that mean the transfer box is possibly low on oil? Is there a technique you use to get smooth and clean changes from Hi to Lo to diff lock?
