A bit limited on info here as I'm posting in behalf of my old man. Will know more at the weekend. Td5 D2 auto. When pulling away in any of the forward gears or reverse, the engine is revving high but not a lot of movement. After a few mins, all is well and drives as normal. It's like the...

In the next couple of months I'm going to replace my suspension. at 135k, the rear shocks are knocking badly and overall, the ride has exponentially deteriorated over the last 6 months. All bushes have been checked, a couple replaced etc. Looking into shocks, I'm liking the look of B6...

Front end of D2 TD5 is as good as sat on the bump stops. Time for some new springs and shocks. "This should be easy" I told myself... Holy ****... what the hell is going on? I've been bombarded with contradicting information, part numbers that mean nothing, colours that don't match part...

Afternoon Swapped both sensors on the D2 after one was faulty. I have done it many times before on other discos with no problem. Done properly, battery d/c etc. The disco will not lift. Using donor vehicle I've done the following. Driven the vehicle back and forth over bump Jacked it up...

Hi all. I'm going to be blanking my EGR ahead of a visit to Alive tuning. I am aware that the MY07s throw a wobbly when the EGR is blanked without a software fix, something Alive will be doing for me... however.. How much of a wobbly does it throw? I have heard some say it goes into limp mode...

My 2004 Disco 2 is dropping on the passenger side when parked. It will sometimes go days without going down, then other times several times a day and so far twice while driving. I have replaced the valve block, sensor and airbag on the side that is dropping but this has not fixed the issue. I...

Obviously, now that it is 30+ degrees, my air con has failed, despite frequent use recently. The compressor will engage if I give it a direct 12v feed. I have checked the two fuses. The switch lights up but I haven't been able to test the switch yet. It was regassed about 6 weeks ago and was...

Vandals smear POO over couple's cars for THIRD time and then set fire to one. This bloke lives a couple of miles down the road from me. I drove past the other day and saw it smeared but thought it was mud, turns out its not. Starting to feel sorry for the couple but at the same time, there...

94 300tdi Disco I'm really stuck here so any help would be awesome. The footwell relay for the blower blew a while back. After I replaced it, it blew again after about an hour. Since it has blown, there is no power getting to terminals 85 & 86 when the ignition is on. This has also happened to...

A year or so ago my heater blower stopped working. The recirculation button wasn't working so I assumed it was the relay in the footwell and a year later I got round to replacing it. To test it was the relay, I swapped it with the electectric window relay and all worked well. I bench tested the...

I'm currently using a 14' Ifor (lm146) twin axle for hauling my 1.5 tonne mower around for work. I do quite a bit of offroading on a daily basis with the trailer and just wondered what peoples opinions were on the performance of a triple over a tandem. The dual wheels ride over (small) holes...

I'm doing a run from Lincoln to Fort William and back tomorrow through to Wednesday. Does anyone need anything shifting. Will have empty 3.5t 14' trailer on return journey but can't take anything on the way up. Taking the obvious route via a66 so anything along the way. Hope I'm not breaking...

Evenin' Just fitted a new rad, filled up, no problems etc etc, took for 1 hour drive. All good. Got home, sat in car on phone and left it ticking over, next thing a load of steam.. I turned off straight away, laughed and opened the bonnet. Pipe had come off at the pump, basically failed...

Might have been posted before but Ive never seen it. Its for sale if anyone is interested (and it isn't mine)

I've got a 94 300tdi Disco. Bit of a read but would appreciate your thoughts. Recently it has been causing me quite a few issues. After a 5000 mile trip, then 3 weeks pulling a 2.5 tonne load around cambs (service in between and regular checks while in cambs) something gave up and plumes of...

Engine is a 300tdi. I highly suspect the answer is no, but can anyone comment on whether it is ok to run the engine with no exhaust or intake manifold. I have had to take the turbo off to replace but urgently need to move the vehicle. Due to circumstance I cannot explain, the vehicle...

Evenin' all. Hope all is well. Edit. 300tdi disco I was just coming down the a14 when I started to smell burning rubber. Then I noticed white smoke pouring out my exhaust. I pulled over straight away. Any idea's what the problem could be? There was a lot of smoke. Temps normal, oil levels...

Hi all I set off next week with two mates on a trip around northern Europe, picking up a 4th who will be flying out to Helsinki to join us as he couldn't get as much time off work. We will be catching the Dover to Calais ferry on Saturday afternoon, then heading east, passing through France...

Centre console has been out for a few months now. Where the hell does cable go? Cheers

Evenin' everyone 300tdi Got another overheating issue... getting pretty bored of it now. The top hose is cold and system is highly pressurised. The pipes look like they are gonna explode. Getting plenty of heat into cab. Seem to have a big air problem. After another test today, just...
