Hi forum, I am scratching my head over a rear end noise and would like some ideas… My 2003 TD4 started rumbling from the rear around 2 weeks ago, it sounds like a badly worn wheel bearing. The noise increases with speed but does not change when I turn or go either way around a roundabout. It...

Hi All, A quick Sunday night puzzler for you all….. My Discovery 2 TD5 auto is really overheating if I go over 3000 RPM for an extended period i.e. up a steep hill. Now I have only just bought the vehicle and have had to do some work on it which I’ll list but this problem has really got me...

Just changed the water pump, door lock and wiper motor on my newly acquired Disco 2. Would like to say thanks to everyone who offered advice and help, couldn't have done it without you especially 'discovery2.co.uk'

Hi Folks, Just got my first TD5 and was looking for some advice on servicing and 'snagging'... Have only just driven it and (after filling it up for £118!) noticed some faults that I could do with some pointers on please. 1) the windscreen wipers don't go back on their own, is this and easy fix...

Hi Everyone, Just bought my 3rd Disco. It's a 1999 TD5 and I am so happy! Got a few 'niggles' to sort out so will post in another section for some advice. Giles

Here's a thought... I live in central London and sold my 98 Disco last year when my parking permit doubled because apparently I'm resonsible for all the bad weather. I've regretted it ever since but what with fuel prices and road tax about to go through the roof it looks as though LR ownership...

:confused: It's been a while since I've been on here having stupidly sold my Disco 300 last year... Living in central London I thought they'd never stop charging me a premium for driving a 4x4 so I bought an Audi A6. It's a lovely motor but the roads in the city are a mixture of speed ramps and...

Hi all, Firstly, thanks for all the input about my broken 300TDi.... In the end it was the radiator (fins had gone AWOL!) that caused the overheating. Melted the 2 and 3 pistons and the head so ended up costing me a fortune. Anyway, I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy a newer model and I'd like...

Well the saga continues.... My dead 300tdi needs either the block reconditioning or a s/h or recon short block. Having the old one done will cost me a fortune as I'll have to get the garage to do it (no facilities here) and I'm already into them for £650 or Just get them to plop another...

Sorry to keep bugging everyone with this one but I'm at my wits end! I've just put a brandnew cylinder head on my 1996 300tdi and it just won't start. I've checked and re checked the following.... Fuel lines for air (it's been bled and i even loosened the injector unions to check diesel was...

Hi everyone.... Well it's friday night and I'm scratching my head... Just put a new head on my TDI300 having melted two of my 'pots' together last weekend. Very slight scratching on number two cylinder bore and the injector for the same pot has one hole closed due to heat damage (not enough I'd...

Hi all, I've cooked my head and need a replacement by Thursday morning! Does ANYONE in the London area have a 300TDI head (new or used!) with all the valves etc? I've got cash money and the promise of my first born!!! Help!:eek:

Fellow Disco owners please HELP! I was driving down the M3 at 90 in my 1996 300TDi when the engine went into the red and died. Lots of brown water from the expansion tank and white smoke comming from the oil filler cap. Looks like a blown head gasket right? Anyway once it'd cooled down and I'd...

Hi All, I've got an anoying squeak coming from the front of my 94 TDi (200) Here's the symptoms.... Only sqeals when driving with the gas on. If i lift the pedal it stops and if I brake it seems to quieten down. I've just changed the front pads and cleaned it all up and copper greased it all...

Hi All, The clutch on my 94 TDi has just about had it. Don't have the time or space to do it myself so can anyone recomend someone either in Luton/Dunstable or Biggleswade/Bedford area? And..... if you've had one done, what did it cost you? just so I can get an idea of price. Thanks all...

:confused: Hi All, My tdi 200 headlamps are on permanently! Driving along one day (last week) towing my caravan when i noticed them. I've checked the stalk switch, the wiring and any connectors and fuses and can't see any problem! I have to take the main light circuit fuses out to turn them...

Has anyone got a Discovery steel rim thats surplus to requirements? Just need one more for my 'off road' set. Any reasonable demand (cash etc.) considered within 20 miles or so of Biggleswade? (Bedfordshire) Thanks

Does anyone know if a civilian universal towing hitch will work on a sankey army trailer or will it only couple with the NATO jaw?

Help! I've just bought a set of 4 lovely steels with great off road tyres for my Disco 200. They're LT255/85 R16 and they're TOO BIG! Can't believe I've been such a Tw*t. Does anyone know if there's a way of fitting these without chopping my arches to bits? Or do I just have to bite the bullit...

Hi Everyone, I'd like to make some more room at the front of my Disco. I've seen lots of 200's at 'Devils Pit' with steering guards and what looks like the lower half of the front bumper removed..... Not only does this look very cool it also looks very practical! But is it as straightforward...
