Looks like the check strap assembly on the drovers door of my D2TD5 is on the way out; it tends to stick and makes a horrendous bang noise without re-lubing regularly (white lithium). So. How much of a pain in the bum is it to replace? More to the point, can it be replaced without removing the...

I'm working on a dash-top box for my D2Td5, to hold such things as switches, USB sockets, and a two-way radio mounting, to be fixed in place over the centre console on the dashboard, fixing through the dash somehow. While there are a couple of commercial offerings available (Mud Stuff and...

Here's an odd one. Following the fun and games I had with my lights, it transpires that the Third edition of the Discovery 2 Electrical Library seems to cater for the post facelift wagons from 2003 or so onwards; likewise, the second edition seems to do the same. Have a look at the...

As per the title, the rear left position light has failed. Now, this came back in the MOT as a dim bulb, and when I took it apart to see if there was something obvious, that's when it failed completely. It's not the bulb (replacement didn't work either), and it's not the bulb holder (got hold...

Anyone got a good suggestion/recommendation as to which make of car cap to lay my mitts on for my Disco 2? Ta in advance :)

OK, so it's through the MoT for another year of motoring mayhem, but a couple of cautionary notes for you all - pay attention to detail! I failed to check for blown bulbs, and had to replace a pair of blown bulbs: a number plate bulb, and the rear offside position bulb as well; in addition, I...

OK, just had a female hound of a time replacing the oil filter on my Disco (2000 D2Td5). To make things easier next time, I'm wondering if it's possible to reroute the oil return pipe that currently runs directly under the oil filter can, so somewhere less in the $%^&* way. So, first question...

OK, here we go again...! I'm planning to install an Amateur Radio transceiver into my Disco 2; however, I have hit a little snag, and was wondering if anyone knows the answer. The plan is to install the main body of the radio into the left-side boot storage bin in the boot space; there's a...

Yes, I've looked, searched, and crawled on my hands and knees under the desk as well. There do not appear to be any working links currently available for the D2 TD5 workshop manual that do not involve providing your email address for spammers to dump endless electronic forests on you. Does...

Folks, I need to reduce the turning circle of my disco, as a previous owner stuck larger tyres on the wagon, when he also increased the height off the deck with new shocks and springs. The existing lock stop bolts show about 18mm of length, so does anyone know where I can get longer ones...

OK, I have an ex-Army (1983) Siii 109"; I encountered a major problem last night after knocking off in the small hours from work (it being my daily use wagon). The wagon refused to move properly after the engine started normally. Symptoms: Only moves forward with very high revs, and a LOT of...
