Good day gents, Today when I wanted to fit the pistons into the block I noticed the conrods were fitted the wrong way around (dimple/hump) is facing to the rear of the engine instead of the front. It has been running this way for 30000km's. (The reason I stripped the engine was because the...

Problem is that here in South Africa they are not easy to get and those who have want upwards of 25GBP for a set ... :mad: ... so I'm trying to save a few quid ... 25GBP of beer goes a long way ... :p:D

Morning Gents, Could someone please tell me the thickness of a set of new crankshaft thrust washers (Disco 2). The ones I removed from my TD5 still looks new. So I thought if I measured mine and compared it to new ones and if it is still within limits I can use the old ones .. :D Also, once I...

H Guys, My apologies for the late update, but for some reason the car refused to start all of a sudden too. Was cranking over but not firing up. Took me 2 days to get her going again. Getting back to my initial problem. Well, I must admit that I am a little bit more than embarrassed to say the...

Hi, I have removed the gear selector switch and cleaned it out and checked for continuity. All seems fine. The noise is ONLY if I go out of "P" and back in. Does the torque converter have to turn freely? Danny

Hi Guys, This morning the auto box in my Discovery 2 stopped selecting gears. When I move it from "P" all the way through and back to "P" there is nothing. However, when I put it back into "P" (after going through all the other gears) there is a noise. Not a grinding noise as in gears but...

I can get in underneath and turn it a little (with front prop shaft removed), but it feels VERY little, less than a 1/4 turn as you mentioned. Also it is stiff, so I was just wondering what forces and travel is required before I break something :) Thank You Danny

Hi guys, Can anyone tell me what the travel is of the spigot from unlocked to locked? (degrees or linear) Also, if possible, what torque (force) is needed to turn the spigot from unlocked to locked and back again? Thank You Danny

Hi guys, Just a quick question. I cannot seem to get my Disco 2 TD5 fuel consumption better than 8.0 km/l. The EGR blank-off mod has been done and I drive very carefully. I even follow Land Rover's recommendation to put the automatic gearbox in "N" when stationary at a traffic light or when in...

Hi, Thank you very much for your help. I have learned a lot. Danny

Hi, Thank you very much. My transfer case does have the spiggot and 3 bolts shown in your picture. Can I safely assume then that it has the CDL internals? And, will the CDL cable mechanisms offered by Ashcroft and others work on my transfer case. Thank you for your help. Danny

Hi guys, I have a Disco 2 with a transfer case who's serial number starts with 81D ... can anyone tell me a little more about it please. I want to know it it has the CDL hardware inside or not. I did stick my hand up from the bottom of the car by the forward propshaft universal joint to...

Hi Guys, Just bought a 2003 Disco 2 TD5. I have only had Toyota Hilux's since I can remember so please pardon my ignorance if some of the questions have been asked before. It seems as if mechanical information regarding Disco hardware is a trade secret protected by a regiment of well trained...
