DISCO 2 TYRES - Before you point me to the `what size tyres' guide - that is for disco 1's and doesnt apply to disco 2's. I was going to do a 2" lift and fit 265/75/16 discoverer STT tyres. However I've unfortunately not enough cash this year to both lift and buy new tyres - so I'm just going...

Hi, I've been thinking of adding an oil cooler to my R380 (TD5) these are not fitted to Disco TD5 UK models but are in those sold in ROW. I thought it may be useful for summer driving in Spain. Ashcroft Transmissions sell them for £250 (+VAT) Question: If I got hold of a R380 oil cooler pipe...

I've just fitted diff-lock to my 2000 td5. Straight forward job and it works great. Many thanks to Urban Panzers excellent web site (which gave me the origional idea and which I also used for directions) and to Jay at Home - DiscoveryTd5 for providing the kit which was of great quality and a...

Hi does anyone know if a set of wheels from a defender would fit a disco 2?

Can anyone recommend a good (and preferably reasonably priced) bush tool for use on the D2? Many thanks

I understand that its possible to fit 265/75-16 tyres to a D2 TD5 without a lift and that there is only `minimal rubbing'. Anyone have these tyres on a non-lifted D2 and if so how is the drive ?

I've been reading my Haynes manual to see if there is any way of improving my car heater and I came across the `Fuel burning Auxillary Heater' that is fitted to some Disco 2's (and apparently Disco 3's) but unfortunately not my disco 2 - anyone know if its a possible retro-fit one and if so how ?

Quick question I hope - Anyone know what size spanner fits the gearbox sump plug on a Disco 2? It looks like a 30 or 32mm but my set doesnt go up that far and its impossible to get a socket on - so I'll have to buy one.

Hi, anyone know the best way to drain the ACE system on a DIsco 2? Previous owner filled it with the wrong (pink) fluid and its always been at the back of my mind to replace it with the right stuff. He did the same for the power steering system, but there I presume I drain it through the...

Quick question (I hope). Before I strip down to replace the front oil pinion seal tomorrow, does anyone know what diameter/size socket I need instead of tool LRT-51-010 to fit the new seal ? thanks

I've a buzzing noise from the dash when I go over a bump and when driving on ice recently (when the TC light also came on). I suspect its an audible TC warning, but its annoying - any idea which wire I cut to disconnect it? Cheers

Anyone any idea why this stainless steel wire is present on the back axle (see photo) - it seems to have no useful purpose but must be there for some reason? Before anyone comments on the rust... the photo was taken at Rustmasters yesterday whilst the car was drying, after high power cleaning...

Hi, I'm all ready to lift the Disco 2 by 2" - except... I've not factored in castor correction. Are castor correction radius arms or a similar adjustment advisable? I seem to have read that its possible to lift by 2" and manage without them. Any advice welcomed.

Can I put 70 inch tyres on a disco 2 without a lift?

Does anyone know anywhere in the UK where I may get a `bolt on' adapter to carry a larger spare tyre on the rear door of a disco 2. I found one in the USA (see link below) but its somewhat cost prohibitive, especially when you add on shipping and tax... Offset Spare Tire Mount - Discovery...

Hi A potentially naive question from a newbie. I've just been replacing rear brake pads on my disco 2 and found some oil on the disc and brake pads but the calipers look dry. Is there anywhere else it could come from? Many thanks,

My TD5 Discovery 2 (1999) when starting from cold runs on very low revs for a few seconds before picking up - sounds hesitant - can I please ask is this usual? if not what may the problem be? Not particularly high milage (105K) Starts no probs once warm. Thanks

Hi, Another problem with my new disco ii... The passenger door wont unlock on the eletronic door key or on the door unlock button on the dashboard. it will unlock if I open the handle from the inside. Doesnt seem to be any loose wires any where in the door - any ideas as to what I need to...

Hi, I've just bought some 2" spacers from the USA to lift the rear SLS by 2" - the intent is to also fit longer shocks and springs to lift the front rather than to fit spacers (which are also available in the USA). Some independent info on these and how to fit them are available here...

I've got a significant leak in my ACE system - looks like its the ACE fluid pump thats blown. I need to drive the car in the morning to pick up family from Heathrow (200 miles away) and probably wont have time to fix the leak/replace the pump beforehand. QUESTION PLEASE: As I see some...
