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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hey guys, Occasionally when dropping off a kerb at low speed or going over a speedbump, I notice a grinding noise that I can also feel through the pedals. Seems like its coming more from the drivers side, but cant be certain. Could this be something to do with the traction control or...

Hey guys, Just about to replace my FPR, when I noticed on the new one (Land Rover part) it has a part of the casting sticking up on the 'top'. I think on later models this has a return pipe attached to it? The part I bought has this blanked off (good?). I have an earlier model I think and the...

Hey guys, So I've had my Discovery (2000 td5) about 3 months now and loving every minute of it. I've almost finished running through the service list (oils, filters etc) to get a baseline and then I can keep on top of it. The only problems I've experienced so far have been a dodgy fuel water...

Hey guys, I recently bought a 2000 Discovery 2 td5. I plan on giving it a thorough service at the weekend, but for now I've just been working through all the little annoying problems (missing bulbs etc). So I noticed in the handbook is says the diesel engines are supposed to have a warning...
