Hi all, My aircon cooling has been generally been working ****e even after a brand new compressor, drier and a regas. It blows coolish on one side (about 50% of what it should), and on the passenger vents it's initially the same but then turns warmish as the car warms up to temp. If I change...

Hi all, My remote and central locking are working fine (except rear luggage door not locking). If I press the lock button on the remote, all doors (except rear) lock and the lights flash once only with no sound. The little LED indicator in the centre of the dash doesn't flash or light up...

Hi all, I lost one of these when taking the compressor and bracket off the other day. It was gobbled up in the engine bay somewhere, never to be seen again... It's a 2004, V8 D2. Wondering if anyone has one lying around please? Thanks.

Hi all, Thinking I'll be doing the head gaskets soon, so I went online to see which manual I could get to suit my 04, V8 4.0 gulf spec D2. It looks like there's none that match that year in a V8(?) Choices were a diesel book for the correct year, or the V8 3.9 book for an earlier year? I'm...

I was just about done putting everything back together after searching for a coolant leak, when I reconnected the MAF plug. That time it snapped into place and locked on as per normal. I took it off again to put the insulation back on (04 gulf spec V8), then afterwards found that it wouldn't...

Hi all, I see that the rubber on both my drag link ball joints is knackered, and was thinking about changing them out. Is there any reason why I should buy a whole assembly, or would just buying the ball joints be ok? Also, if I buy the whole assembly, is it specific LHD vs RHD, or the same...

I went out and bought an ODB2 ELM327 wifi reader, and apart from the fun of watching stuff in real time on the ipad, it showed the temp sitting at 94C, and also had a code. 'P0327 knock sensor 1 circuit low' Can anyone tell me what the problem is? (A dead sensor?) (D2, 2004, V8)

Bugger - I found another job to add to the list on the Disco. After a bit of a search on here, I think it may be the steering box output shaft seal? I also read up on Rave to see what's involved in replacing it. What should I use to release the ball joint from the drop arm? Will an ordinary...

Here's a pic of an oil leak I found. Any tips on where the leak might be from? Thanks

I was crawling around / under / over the car with the camera the other day, & thought I'd take pics of issues as I found em. Think I might have a leak from the transfer box drain plug. Do these plugs often leak, and is there a washer or seal with it? Here's a pic - what do you think?

Hi all, I noticed my Disco is missing the bonnet switch. Also I can't see any sign of the cable and plug that it would have connected to. Anyone know if it was an option, or perhaps fitted for some regions, but not for others?

So I've been topping up the coolant weekly on my 04 D2 / V8. It loses about 1/3 each time. No funny coloured oil, no pressurised expansion tank, or pool of coolant under the car. It runs fine otherwise, and no overheating. There is a 'waterfall' noise which I can almost get rid of after a...

Yeah I know it's a sign of old age :eek: but, I do a lot of towing with my D2 (LHD), 04, V8 and noticed that the rear end is lower when towing. Trailer with load is probably just under 2T. Shocks all round have already been replaced with Bilstein 24-060462 & 24-060479. Here's a pic -...

Just wondering if anyone's had experience buying one of these fob's. I would be getting the 315MHZ version. Wanting to make sure it's ok before I hand over my hard earned cash.... Genuine Land Rover Discovery 2 TD5 Key Fob & New Case + New Chip Land Rover Key | eBay thanks.

D2, 04 V8, Tom woods prop shaft. After changing out the front propshaft, rubber donut and getting the wheels balanced, I've now got a disco that is nice and smooth, shudder & vibration free all the way up to 130kph. But, I notice now that especially when at freeway speeds, and only when...

I thought I'd have another play, trying to fix the clicking from the coupler behind the steering wheel. Anyway, looking through a rectangular hole in the dash, I could see what I thought is the dimmer switch. Pulled off the top dash cover and found it sitting inside, rusted and with the...

Hi all, My Disco came with only one key fob, and the case buttons are starting to disintegrate.. Do the flip key style cases work ok with the guts from the old one , and are there any now that are held together with screws instead of glue? Also, here's a pic of my existing key. Is it an...

Anyone know how to get the fuel flap switch to work regardless of key position? Thanks.

Here's a few pics having some fun while camping this weekend. Made it out without any recovery gear - after a bit of digging ;) Damn tow bar was acting like a big plough when climbing up the dunes.

Well the saga continues.... fixed one problem and now have another mystery to solve. Just took it for a trip towing the trailer. After changing out the propshaft all the drivetrain vibration is gone, but there's still a weird shudder that comes and goes in a regular on/off cycle. Eg 20 secs...
