Hi guys, thought I'd put some pictures of my V8 build here. All started with a top end tap on the 4.0ltr Thor in my Discovery 2. Turned out one of the thrust pads on the rockers had gone walkies and the corresponding valve stem had been trashed. With the heads coming off and the engine already...

Alright guys, just want a sanity check here. I'm going to be building up a new 4.6ltr Thor engine for the Disco when I pick up the new block from Turner next week. Just checking parts and specs and have come across a difference regarding what the crank bearing clearances should be. The...

Hi guys. I'll soon be building up a new Tophat Thor engine for my D2. It'll be built with 4.6 crank and rods, along with 4.0ltr pistons to raise the compression as I'm on LPG. Currently looking at "high-torque" cams and deciding whether to go with the Kent cam from Turner or the Piper one...

Hi guys, bit of background..... I've got a 4.0L in our D2 that is in need of a new engine (liners :rolleyes:) While im throwing money at the Disco I'll be upgrading to 4.6L Was originally going to go with a short block from Turner and use my current heads. But since stripping mine down I've...

Alright guys, Thought I'd start a thread for our two Discos and their progress. First is the TD5 that i picked up a couple of years ago as the family daily runner but also to get used for off road fun too :) Here it is as we picked it up; standard Pre-facelift Disco 2 TD5 ES, in epsom...

Odd one to have and I can't find anything the same on the net anywhere. As soon as you type "Discovery" and "warning light" you get flooded with Amigo results :rolleyes: The TC, HDC , and both SLS (warning and top right that flashes) lights have stopped working. They don't come on at all...

Yep, you read that right :( Went round to Dan's to clear the 3 amigos on the disco using his Nanocom. Once we'd done that I decided I wanted to turn off the stupid double press unlock while we had it plugged in. Somehow we managed to end up with the vehicle immobilised as it's no longer...

Oh god not another Amigos thread! :frusty: Bear with me guys, Got the 3 Amigos on Sunday while driving. I've had them come on a couple of times before and they've always gone back off after a while or with a quick switch off, however these have stayed on permanently so decided to look into...

Leading on from THIS THREAD, Recently got back from our 5 day trip to wales to do Brecon and Strata Florida and thought I'd put it up here.

Alright guys, Thought I'd start a thread for the Disco I picked up last year and it's progress. Here it is as we picked it up; standard Pre-facelift Disco 2 TD5 ES, in epsom green with ACE and SLS. 170K on the clock but in great nick. The only rust was the common bits on the chassis either...

Alright guys. looking at buying a Disco 2 with a knackared gearbox from Bulford in Wiltshire that will need trailering back to Dorking in Surrey I'd hire a trailer and do it myself but dont currently have B+E :mad: Thanks in advance.

Alright guys, I'm currently planning a small laning and camping trip to Wales at the end of July and would like some advice. Myself, the wife and the two kids will be in our Discovery. My dad and my brother will be coming along in my brothers Jeep Cherokee. Both vehicles are fitted with...

Hi guys, I know International Rescue is normally reserved for stuck/stranded members but I really need some help from the community here. I am away on a 5/6 month tour in Afghanistan and the clutch has decided to go on the Discovery leaving the wife and kids stuck at her parents in surrey...

Alright guys, really need some help. As some know I'm in the army as an aircraft engineer. I'm currently on tour in Afghanistan until June and my wife back home has just let me know that the clutch has gone on the Discovery :doh: She said it went suddenly on friday when driving from Ipswich...

Why? Because it means I can still fit the Disco in the garage. :D

Hi guys. I'm in the process of improving the departure angle on the discovery. I've removed the rear step and tow bar, the latter will be replaced with a reciever type. The other thing that always catches is the exhaust. Ive looked at cutting it back and spotted that the rearmost hanger is...

Hey guys. Just wondering if there is anyone around the Suffolk area preferably local to ipswich that has hawkeye or nanocom and doesn't mind plugging it into my Disco 2? I'd like the selective unlocking (one push for drivers door, 2 for all doors) turned off if possible. Many thanks :tea:

Hi guys. Been sorting out the handbrake adjustment on the disco and need some input from here. I've followed the following procedure: I've set up the drum shoes as stated. No change, so moved on to adjusting the tension on the cable under the handbrake lever. Problem is that I don't seem...

Hi guys. My brother is not a member on here but lives in Dorking in Surrey and is looking to pick up a Jeep grand cherokee in Sheffield. Is anyone going to be traveling from Surrey or south London up north to Sheffield or the surrounding area any time soon that would like to split fuel...
