Somewhere hereabouts should be 3 little drawings of security brackets for D2 facelift headlamps. A more detailed explanation about their fabrication is available on D2 Boys Club site in the technical section. That should keep some of you busy next sunday afternoon.

I am struggling to source front springs for my 54 plate TD5 Disco 2. The car is SLS without ACE and has standard 18" rims that it left the factory with. I am after standard height, standard load rated springs and would prefer to avoid genuine Land Rover ones due to cost. Bearmach or...

Yesterday evening I replaced the turbo boost modulator on my TD5. Those of you familiar with this job will know that it has 3 small bore rubber vacuum pipes running from it to the waste gate actuator, MAF sensor and lower intercooler pipe. One of the 3 pipes was split and another had...

Had this for a few months and thought it was the silicone hoses that needed twisting round a bit. Did that this morning and made no difference. So, here are the symptoms. It usually happens when engine gets warm. I accellerate and get to 2000 to 2500 rpm and this rattling/grinding noise starts...

Just been giving the end of my turbo shaft a good waggle to assess it's state of wear. There is no discernable back and forth play, but noticable side to side play. I realize that the standard D2 turbo shaft uses oil as its bearing face, therefore there should be some sideways play. The...

A bit of a disaster just when things were going so well. Today was supposed to be air bag replacement day. Started on the right of the car and all went swimmingly. Repeat for left side of car and all went well until it was time to put a little air in the bag. Started engine, got back round...

Just finished fitting the de-cat pipe to my TD5. EGR already blanked. Car still on ramps as I ran out of daylight before I could put the cross members back on, but I decided to just crack the old girl up before going in for tea. The immediate thing I noticed was the turbo whistle - never had...

Just been attempting to fit a de-cat pipe. Sadly, I am unable to get a single bolt out of the front cross member that needs to be removed. There are 8 bolts, all with 10mm A/F hexagon heads. I can see the ends of the threads poking through the captive nuts and they seem to be the corresponding...

I got a 54 plate landmark last august and it ticks all the boxes except for 2, those being:- 1. Cheap to run. 2. Goes like stink. Having spent a lot of the cold winter evenings wandering around this forum, I decided to put into action a step by step plan to do something about item 2. I...

One of the chaps at LRM magazine recently did the conversion from air to coil springs on his D2, stating that the main reason for this was that his kids were getting car sick when sat in the back. He claims that the conversion has done the trick. Has anyone else had this problem? My 2 year old...

Just had a local independant land rover garage clean up and blather my chassis in old oil. While it was up on the lift I asked them to see if they could find out where the transfer box was leaking from. I was told "the usual place - where the shaft from the main gearbox goes into the transfer...

Hello All. Been lurking around here for a month or two since my Mondeo ate and defacated its own turbo and I decided to defect from the blue oval to the green. The Mondeo was a fab car which I thrashed without mercy for 92000 miles, but when those 2.2TDCI's go, they go completely and...
