I tried this out on my faded wheel arch trims on a qashqai and I think this may at last be the solution to my Disco 2 arch problem. Will let you know next week.

Hi there all. I'm resurrecting my Landy after three years and made the mistake of reversing the polarity on my battery. How I managed to connect it up wrong , I don't know but I did. Two fuses blew, a 10 amp and a 40 amp plus the fuse that works the radio. I need to get one of those ordered...

HI there. I moved my discovery 2 td5 and accidentally connected the battery the wrong way round ! Don't ask. The car will not start at all although the dashboard lights up with a flashing rectangle that has a diagonal line through it. I'm really hoping for an easy fix. Any help accepted.

Well that was a turn up for the books. I thought the disco was going to make it through the mot with only a fail on my leaking oil seal and a possible crack on the rear leg. The test was abandoned as the car was so badly rotten underneath that the inspector was worried that the tank may fall off...

could someone in the know tell me if this is an mot fail? It is on the rear leg of my discovery 2. I am assuming it will need to be repaired at some point if not immediately but if so, could it be plated?

So I have just had the front axle oil seal replaced along with the hub. Oil is still leaking from the hub and I am wondering if I sat the seal down far enough. When the oil was checked, it was too high, possibly as water may have got in (more like emulsified oil). Could the oil level being...

could some extra tell me where I am going wrong, I have stripped the lock down of the ignition , the key goes in and pulls all the blades back but when inserted into the main metal part, it fails to turn unless I press the steering lock button down. I am stumped. Any help welcome desperately ...

Can anyone help me with my rear door stay repair. I have a new stay but just cant work out how it works. It has the metal part that attaches to the floor of the rear boot and then it goes to what looks like a sliding mechanism that attaches to the underside of the door. Now how does it work...

I noticed that on my advisories from lady year, the mot suggested that the anti roll bar was leaking. I was told my cars ace had been disabled and converted. I a, not sure how anti roll arms work. Cam non ace arbs leaking?

Hi. I have just had a new front hub replaced and awoke to find a puddle of axle oil on the ground and little drips coming from the hub side. It's not grease but the acride bo smell off the axle oil. Firstly I would just like to check that it is most likely the oil seal and secondly some...

Hi there. I have just taken out my cup holder out of the dash as it was jammed closed. To cut a long story short I have reassembled it and it seems to be working. Push it in and it holds shut, push it again and it pops out (kind off). This is where I have the question. I would have expected...

I am new to car mechanics and the discovery 2 and learning all the time thanks to this forum but I am wondering if I can be more proactive on my maintenance schedule. Recently I broke an axle hub and it turns out I could have spotted this months ago by wobbling the wheels when the car was...

I have managed to activate the three amigos again after going off road. The problem appears to be an electrical failure on the front left and an erratic reading on the front right. Is this possibly due to mud getting into the gubbings? I have done the shuttle valve repair and replaced the...

I have just purchased a 50l 3hp compressor with gravity spray gun and grit blaster. Also a Shultz gun for application of dinitrol and waxoyl. Is this going to be really messy or could I put a dust sheet down, drive over it and tape down the sides to stop spray escaping onto other cars. Will...

Hi there. I am knew to off road driving and was wondering if anyone out there knows any places I can take the disco 2 too? Hopefully someone is planning a drive I can tag along to. Thanks all

I recently bought a new battery for the disco 2 which ended up costing me about £120 or so. Works a treat but because the Landy was proving to be an unreliable car I opted to bring back to life an old x type that had been sitting on my drive for one year or so. As you can guess the battery on...

ever so anxious that it may be a let down having seen the photos of some of the beast defenders on the sites webpage. My td5 is stock other than being chipped and having new general grabbers on it. I'm going to be with the site instructor and he seems confident in the cars capability which is...

can anyone tell me,what type of plug is required for the td5 coolant drain hole. Is there a generic plug that I can purchase from eBay?,,cheers in advance .

i thought this might be of use to someone. I decided to wash out the heater matrix as the car has been blowing warm air since the day I got it. I located the two hoses going into the bulk head and decided to take the hose of to the passengers side. The hose to the drivers side was too difficult...

So just got the discovery back again and looking to get those heated seats up and running. I have popped the plate on with the extra buttons for the heated seats and they light up. Looking under the seat, I can see two cables at the front of the drivers seat, one is black and has a two...
