Evening chaps and chapesses, yesterday my disco 2 decided to eat my door key in the drivers door lock barrel which I think has collapsed inside as the key doesn't seem to have gone all the way in. Annoyingly the end of the key is about 10mm inside the lock so not easy to get to. Any ideas on...

A bit of history with my disco 2. When purchased it in September 2016 it only had one key so ordered another from remotekey.co.uk which worked perfectly fine as did the original. After a while, probably back in early 2017 the fob part of the original key would only work at close range and then...

After having to change the ignition barrel on my Disco 2 this morning I can now start the thing without spending 5 minutes messing around with the key which is great. What is not so great is that fuse 20 keeps blowing every time I try and start the thing now. Anyone have any ideas? Everything...

Having taken the non functioning wiper motor off of my Disco 2 and found the internals to be somewhat seized and messed up I'm looking for a replacement. Does a wiper motor from a Disco 1 fit a Disco 2? The only reason I ask is Disco 2 wipers seem to be thin of the ground around here.

Evening chaps and chapesses, I've recently had to acquire a 51 plate Disco 2 as some kindly old lady decided to crash into my parked Disco 1 and get it written off deep joy. She emerged from her rolled car with the aid of the fire service bruised and shaken but otherwise ok. Unfortunately this...

Afternoon chaps and chapesses, Unfortunately my beloved 300tdi Discovery might well be a write off after an old lady decided to drive into it yesterday, it was parked at the time and I wasn't in it. Most importantly the other driver is ok albeit a bit battered after rolling her car, however this...

As with most things Land Rover you get one thing sorted and something else crops up, this time being a blown bulb / lamp in the head light. Before I get a normal bog standard replacement is there any other type of bulb which I could use to improve the performance of the headlights short of...

I've been having trouble with the abs on my Disco 1 for a while now, some times the light comes up, some times it doesn't, some times the abs will kick in randomly when I apply the brake and at other times it won't. Took the wee beastie to my local garage today to get a couple of other issues...

So it would appear that the diff lock on my Disco 1 has never been used for more that a handbag support by its past owners. Not only does the handily placed little diff lock selector stick not move, it is in what I take to be in the low ratio position (front right), please do correct me if I'm...

Whilst looking under my Disco 1 to see if I had a hole in the exhaust which thankfully I don't I spotted this well leaky bit. So what is the cylindrical bit connected to the propshaft which appears to be losing a little bit of oil?

When we first got our Discovery the central locking worked fine, the only issue being that the drivers door key barrel appears to be u/s. Unfortunately now the drivers door won't lock using the key fob so the alarm sounds if you try and lock it. If you're sitting inside and manually lock and...

Hi, finally got myself a 300 TDI Disco but of the few issues I'll be working through the main one is that it only has one set of keys. Am I limited to paying stupid amounts to a dealer for a fob and key or is there another cheaper way?

All being well I'll be having a look at P38 2.5 DSE tomorrow. 128000 miles on the clock but I really don't know what to look out for on these beasties. Is rust an issue? Any telltales of impending doom? Any questions I should be asking?

So I'm currently looking at getting a Landy of some kind as a daily driver and family car. Being annoyingly tall at 6'7" and having a stupidly long body I struggle to fit most things. Whilst my first thought is for a Discovery 1 or 2 a P38 is another option, possibly. Any idea if I would fit...

Finally the time has come to get rid of the old family car and to replace it with a Discovery. I know I can fit in a 2002 Td5 ES as it had fully adjustable seats, (I need the seat as low as possible to get in being 6'7" with a long body) but would like to get one of the Tdi jobbies as these...

I've been looking around for a new (to me) motor for a while and I'm after something robust and simple to work on without any complicated electrical wizardry. My only problem is that finding something I can fit in is a bit of a struggle being 6'7", would a Discovery Mk1 be suitable? As much as...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and have yet to buy anything Land Rover related. Mainly looking for some advice on what to get for someone who is is 6'7" whilst still having room for the family as well. My budget won't be great, so won't be after anything with complex electricary in, but don't mind...
