Finally got round to dismantling the mainshaft and input shaft. Remains of the pilot bearing between input and mainshaft and broken 3rd/4th synchro The next problem was removing the pilot bearing track from the input shaft. I tried heating it with a blowtorch to begin with but no luck. But...

Heating it was going to be my next step. I only held off doing it because I read other people said that the plastic oil feed behind it would get damaged (which made me assume it wasnt replaceable) but ashcroft seems to sell them anyway, so it would have been a hell of a lot easier just to heat...

Thanks again, Well managed to remove the extension housing by pushing the whole mainshaft through the seal. Required a few hits with a rubber mallet. Now there was more access I had another go at removing the oil seal collar. I tensioned it up again with the bearing puller and then worked...

Thanks nigel. Any idea if i can buy a new sychro ring separately. Or do I have to buy the full synchro hub? The screw is the allen bolt in the top of the selector (last picture), but from looking at other pictures, it seems I can leave this on and the extension housing should still come away...

Hi guys, So I posted in another thread about noises from the gearbox, well I've finally got round to dismantling it. I managed to get the main casing off, and found some nice little treats waiting in the bottom. Am I right in thinking these form part of the synchromesh? The problem...

Thanks! I was sceptical that the impact wrench would remove the flywheel bolts, but sure enough, got a decent halfords advanced impact socket and the bolts came straight out!! The flywheel didn't pull back, but it rotated back and forth about 5-10 degrees freely (guesstimate) before feeling a...

Hi guys, I know the spigot bearing on my Disco 2 has being needing attention for quite a while now (whining first thing on a morning when maneuvering slowly). But gears have also been getting harder to engage lately (there was a big 'notch' going into 4th, not hard to engage, slipped in easy...

Excellent thanks guys, Discool are you saying part no. ANR4914 would fit without a spacer?

Hi guys, So I've currently got a steel spare with that horrible (to me) plastic cover. If I buy a spare alloy to match do I need different nuts to hold it onto the door bracket studs? e.g. Standard alloy nuts, or is there a special kind of 'spare' alloy nut? Anybody know what the screw thread...

Hi guys, I can engage reverse gear and use it just fine. (Manual gearbox) However if I depress the clutch whilst still in reverse (so the vehicle is now freewheeling in reverse) I start to get crunching sounds and it rolls with a jerky motion. I can only describe the feeling as though .... the...

Also just noticed. There is a knocking noise, at about the same speed as the engine when sat idling. If I then try to put it in any gear without the clutch (not pushing so hard to actually engage, but just enough to take up the 'slack') then the noise disappears. Don't know if I've just never...

Ok, I have now bled the clutch circuit. The initial fluid flowing from the bleed nipple was black and dirty. I kept bleeding until fresh fluid flowed through. This seems to have eased the issue somewhat, down changes from 3rd to 2nd are now possible, but still a little stiff/slow. Also Dave...

OK I've just been out and had a play. The noise on a morning is definitely just as you are releasing the clutch, just as its reaching its biting point - both in forward and reverse. So is this definitely the spigot bearing? And could this cause any of the gear selection problems or is it...

I changed all the oils - diffs and transfer box (75w90 GL5) and gearbox (MTF 94) - about 5 months ago. It just seems strange how it has come on so suddenly. Could it be anything to do with the clutch master/slave?

Hi guys, I have a 2000 disco 2 td5. This last week or so I've been having real trouble selecting gears. It started with second but first and reverse also seem to be a problem now too. It seems ok going from first to second, but trying to go from 3rd to 2nd is a real struggle and almost...

Thanks discool, From your link it appears I need the PCC107270 which was replaced by the PCC001070. However it also states I need the PCS000010 restrictor for vehicles pre July 2001. I think this is something to do with restricting the flow to the fuel cooler. However I have read reports of...

Hey guys, So I've been losing coolant slowly for a while now, but I just got back from a long trip yesterday and noticed quite a large pool of coolant this morning. After removing the front grille this is what I discovered: The pipes at the rear don't appear to be leaking, so does this look...

Thanks for all the helpful replies guys! I know I'm probably worrying too much, but as I said this will be its first long journey since I've had it (coming up to almost a year now). I keep on top of maintenance and given it a full service. So I'm pretty confident there won't be any issues, I...

Hey guys, So in a couple of months i'll be taking the Disco (2000 td5) on a roadtrip through france and down to spain. Having never driven more than a couple of hundred miles in one go before, I'm not really sure what I need to pack in preparation. I think I've got the essentials covered for...

Hey guys, Took my landy for its MOT today. Failed on a couple of problems, but nothing serious. It failed on the upper brake light in the back window not working. It seems like an intermittent problem so not sure how best to diagnose it really. I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but after the...
