    Disco 2 Oh dear, not good news i fear

    Probably, but then im sure there will be some other reason that caused it ro happen in the first place. I think by the time i have the gearbox removed, 1st and second syncro done and any other work that needs doing it would be quicker and possibly cheaper to replace with a reconditioned unit...

    Disco 2 Oh dear, not good news i fear

    I went to fit the new slave cylinder, but found that the bottom bold had snapped, which i managed to remove. Worse though i found that the top bolt will not tighten, it seems the threads inside the mount have stripped off. Looks like my best bet is new box, clutch and flywheel. Any...

    Disco 2 Oh dear, not good news i fear

    Thanks for reply, i went and had a look with a torch, it seems that the slave cylinder has come off. Ive ordered a new one and some brake fluid as i believe they share the same reservoir? One thing i need to find is where i can get some new bolts, the old ones must have been what i heard...

    Disco 2 Oh dear, not good news i fear

    On my way to get some beers from the local sainsburys, pushed the clutch in and heard something break, the clutch has no resistance now and fluid everywhere underneath. The clutch had been slipping now and again in high gears so knew it needed doing, but what has failed now? Im guessing slave...

    Disco 2 New car, few questions

    Thanks for all the advice I bought a new speaker for the pdc, and now they are working perfect. As for power surges, i cleaned the map sensor which improved things, freed up the wastegate which wasnt too bad but needed doing, then disconnected the maf and she flies. It has been mapped or...

    Disco 2 New car, few questions

    EKA code? That would account for it not centralising but not the crunching?

    Disco 2 New car, few questions

    Also i get power surges, i was told it had been tuned, and it does go well. But if i floor it i get blocks of flat acceleration. If i feather the throttle its seems to be fine

    Disco 2 New car, few questions

    Well after looking at some real rotten sheds, i finally found a nice 04 es premium. Solid chassis, no warning lights on and great bodywork. A few issues i could do with help tho. Parking sensors dont work, select reverse and i get no audible sound, and the light flashes on the switch. Gear...

    Disco 2 Auto Box leak

    So just picked it back up from the garage, they plugged into test equipment which showed a fault, which they said points towards the torque converter. They filled up the gearbox which was only 50% full but there are no leaks from the box. They said it looks as though the gearbox has overheated...

    Disco 2 Auto Box leak

    Damn thing!! Just driven a 120 mile round trip, kept noticing the smell of oil, but it didnt smell like engine oil more like transmission. Had a look under the car when i stopped but due to the snow couldnt see a thing. 10 minutes from home and another strong smell of oil, stopped at a junction...

    Disco 2 Auto Box Slow Pull Away

    Sounds like a gearbox issue, when you select a gear does the light illuminate instantly? And does is show the gear on the dash unstantly? I had a similar issue a few weeks ago, very sluggish pulling away, and it wasnt lighting up or showing the gear on the dash. But mine has since cleared...
