I have decided to replace the steering box in my D2 as it's pretty worn and wanted to get a refurbished unit as new ones are very expensive. However, speaking to John Craddock, it seems that refurbished ones aren't available for my chassis number, only new. Mine's a late 2003 model and the part...

I've damaged my rear prop with a bit of overly spirited off roading. As you can see, the rubber doughnut is toast. There is also some slight twisting to the bolt holes on the flange. I'm assuming this should be flat? Can it be straightened or is the prop toast too?

Is there a way to get the bonnet open without destroying it? The cable has snapped at the latch end so I can't use a pair of pliers to pull it as has happened to me in the past with previous FLs.

TD5 15P engine. I seem to have lost something from the back of the cylinder head. There's a hole there that water runs out of when I top up the water. How bad is this situation? Can I fix it with the engine in place?

With my wife's car suffering major electronic problems a while back and likely to be off the road for a considerable amount of time we needed something for her to use in the meantime. This was a fantastic excuse for me to buy another Land Rover and this tidy 2003 TD4 automatic van happened to be...

Disco 2, TD5, manual. Two mornings in a row driving home from work I've had the turbo exit elbow blow off and limped the rest of the way home at about 30mph. Am I right in thinking that this is probably just a sticky wastegate modulator causing overboost? I'm on night shifts at the moment so...

For some reason when I try to upload pictures to a thread the forum software tells me I'm not allowed to do that. Is there a problem or have things changed since the last time I uploaded stuff a few weeks ago? EDIT: I get a dialogue box that pops up with the following text in it: The following...

After swearing off Freelanders a few years ago I now find myself with Freelander number four. It's out of necessity, not desire, though. My wife's car has been out of commission for a while and will be for some time longer so we were in need of something to keep her going in the meantime. This...

I wouldn't have believed these could be fitted by mere mortals if I hadn't taken them off myself. Is there some technique to it? I can get them so they look like they're in the right place but you can't see the clips and I've been struggling for an hour or so to try and get them to snap in. I've...

I've slowly been tackling niggling problems with my project Disco and I'm down to ONE fault code. 24-08 "Rear right wheel sensor output too low" according to Nanocom. A bit of history: Fitted brand new hubs to rear axle as part of the build. Replaced standard cables supplied with the hubs for...

Every time I lock the doors on my project Disco the horn sounds for a split second. I thought that this was just some feedback so you knew the car was locked but having RTFM it seems that the car is "mislocking". I assume that because I no longer have any rear doors and have just cut out all of...

Has anyone successfully taken these apart? I've been fiddling for hours with one of mine and I can't see how they come apart, if indeed they do. I want to get at the levelling motors to see if I can fix them. Mine seemingly didn't work on my project Disco but I managed to get them to work for a...

Got the engine running again in my project disco to find that the fuel pressure regulator is leaking. I spent a few frustrating hours changing it for a spare one I had and that's bloody well leaking too. They're both leaking from the small hole in part number 5 on the drawing below. Now I know...

I have a Nanocom but it doesn't appear to have brake bleed functionality and I need to do a complete system bleed as I've completely taken mine apart in the body-off stage of my project. My main question is: are there any budget tools out there that have the functionality for this? The iCarsoft...

Can anyone recommend a decent kit to get the steering knuckle ball joints out? Would the same kit push the new ones in or do I need another tool for that?

Anyone know where I'd be able to get new front spring seats on line? Rear ones are plentiful and cheap and I have some on order but the fronts seem to be rare and expensive. Maybe I'm using the wrong search terms? Perhaps thet have another name I'm not aware of?

Does anyone know how you tell the positive and negative coloured wires on the rear door speakers? Both left and right speakers have one blue/black and one green/black wire to them. I've cut off the connections and binned the doors as I'm building a pickup but I want to wire in new speakers to...

I've had to cut the lower steering column out of my project Disco 2 and I'm shopping on line for a replacement. Is there any difference between LHD and RHD items? They look the same to me in pictures but thought I'd check before buying one. I ask because for some reason LHD ones are a lot cheaper.

As the title says, I'm after a Disco 2 facelift rear light cluster, drivers side, the one in the body with the orange indicators.

I don't suppose anyone has some damaged wide wheel arches lying around? I need a couple to butcher to modify the ones I have to fit my project Disco. See the picture below. I need to cut some sections out to extend mine by a few inches.
