My 2004 Landmark D2 seems to have a fuel gauge issue. I went out yesterday and when i left town the light came on even though the needle was on around a quarter (not in red). It's only 3 miles to home so it didn't concern me. Since then I did one journey around 5-6 miles, then yesterday it...

I have a 2004 Disco 2. Do they have a DPF? If so, I'd like to remove it!

I must have ordered about 3 different sets of wipers now, they never fit. Not sure if my D2 has non standard windscreen wiper arms, but nothing seems to fit. The end of them is a U shape with a hole in both sides. Is that normal? I really want the Bosch Aero style wipers, anyone know how to...

Howdy dudies. 2004 Disco2 (Manual). Desperately trying to improve fuel economy. Just wondered if anyone has any tips for next steps. I have had a manual before which did 30+ on a run, and a friend's got quite a bit better than that (after some mods). After doing a lot of work, the best I can...

I went to shoot some rabbits last night on friend's fields. I have 3 internal lights, front, rear seats and boot. I can turn off front with switch, but not sure how (or if poss) to stop rear two coming on when doors open. Is there a way? thanks

I have spent a lot of money on my D2 over the past month or two. As we had the chassis dropped we replaced the ACE pipes and rear brake pipes. ACE pipes were badly corroded and ready to give up. We couldn't get genuine LR pipes so had to get Britpart ones. The ACE unit was carefully cleaned...

Howdy Zoners 2004 Discovery TD5. I have a biodiesel processor I was given, a good one, brand new. I have a source for used veg oil (restaurants/chippies). IF I were to do it, it would extremely good grade stuff. Not "hooch". titration test, ph test, dry washed, etc etc. The thing is, the guy...

I bought some FL1 wheels a while back, the guy wasn't sure which model he had them on but pretty sure he had them on FL1, and had some spacers to use on his FL2 later. I bought the wheels but didn't get the spacers, wondering if I need them. When we fitted them, the inside of the spokes make...

Anyone know where I can get a decent used manual gearbox? Mine is notchy as hell, sometimes won't go into gear. It's definitely the gearbox. Wondering where a replacement can be got from? I think mine was an Ashcroft one (looks it) so looking for a genuine one which has a smooth change. Trouble...

Does anyone know if it's possible to make a set of Disco wheels (either 16" or 18") fit on a Freelander 1?

A friend of mine gave me a 55 plate Freelander TD4 yesterday for my son to learn to drive in. It has been standing a couple of years so needs work but worth putting some time and money into as it's not had a bad life apart from being neglected recently. Got it home, parked it, put keys on dash...

Trying to help out a friend. He has replaced his auto gearbox and torque converter. Did it with Disco on its side jacked up. He checked there was drive from rear of auto box in all gears and reverse, then put transfer box on and there's no drive at all. He plugged it in today and it has one...

Howdy all. Well my 'half chassis' (bit more than half) is coming next week for my D2. It's 2200 mm long to replace the rear end of my old chassis, from Dixon Fabrication (https://dixonfabrication.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=87_92_137&product_id=169) My mechanic has replaced...

Well, I can't be surprised given how much I have already said stuff ROTS for FUN where I live (very salty air!) but it looks like my D2 which I bought with a nice solid chassis a year to 18 months ago, is now not looking good at the back end of the chassis. I have done years of welding for...

I know petrol goes off after a while (arguably prevented with fuel additive), but does the same thing happen to diesel? I have some jerry cans and wondering how long the diesel will be usable for if stored cool and dark

Had a bit of a disaster yesterday. I had to go just a few miles to collect a shed on trailer. Trailer is very old farm trailer but not totally rotten, been in use for years. It had a leaky wheel so I put another wheel on which didn't QUITE fit snug, so i put 4 washers behind the wheel (between...

I am new to welding and metalwork in general. Doing some work on trailer and wondering what's best to protect the exposed steel and weld bead? I have a few cans of cold galvanised spray which someone suggested but wondering if some of the proper mechanical folks in here have any advice?

My 04 D2 doesn't appear to have ever leaked from the sunroofs, which was a good sign when I bought her. I got in today, my son in the front passenger seat. He pulled down the sun visor and a few drips of water ran down it. Definitely not condensation and it rained the night before. Trying to...

I need to collect a generator, it's a pretty big diesel 5kw jobbie. I think it weighs around 150kg, so assume 200kg max. Bit scared of damaging my D2. If I put thick ply on floor of boot that will protect from the cosmetic damage of the wheels digging down into the floor. But I don't have a...

Is it possible to stop the air pressure sensors (I assume it has them) in a D2? If someone stays in the car the alarm goes off if it's locked with remote. Can this be de-activated somehow? Ideally with the option to have them working sometimes
