Hi all, back from a year or so of non LR ownership. Had a D1, parked it up due to rust, bought a D2, circumstances changed and needed something to suit a long tedious commute so sold both. Here we are I guess 15 months later and another change of circumstances has left me wondering if I can...

Does this look like an output seal? Not driven it since I spotted the leak, believe it started on the journey home as it was dry under it at my office car park. Wondering what the cost of fixing it is vs the effect on resale value. I’ve got an allowance from work for something new and I just...

Hi all, any recommendations? Have a small bit on the chassis, passenger footwell and inner wing to sort. Doesn’t look like anything drastic, have seen one semi-retired welder but he didn’t fancy moving some of the wiring etc and prefers working on older stuff which is fair enough. Have found...

All hypothetical at the moment but should the day come that I feel like a newer disco I wondered if a petrol d3 is actually a good shout? None of the diesel engine’s complications, only get 23mpg out of my TD5 auto so presumably running costs would be similar?

Any thoughts on which kit to go for? I don’t have any real reason to do it, engine seems healthy but given others comments on it being an improvement I’m willing to give it a go. Hoping it may benefit the mighty 23mpg it’s currently achieving too! Allisport one looks good to me...

Good news, MOT passed today. One advisory was that a front anti roll bar link needs replacing. I tend to be a bit ott with maintenance so will do the other front one too, as they’re cheap is it worth doing the rear ones while I’m at it? Do they degrade over time or just fail?

Random one but I’m assembling some spares and wondered if the links are LR or LR or even D2 specific? Don’t have anything similar amounts my collection of fuses that I’ve accumulated over the years.

Hi, before I drive it into the sea and forget it ever happened I’m here to beg for some help! Fitted new rear discs and pads yesterday, sliders were a pain to get loose but got there in the end. Did 130 miles to beaulieu and all was good right up until the point we got there. On arrival the...

I’m never going to get round to fixing it so my D1 is on eBay. Not going to end early as honestly I need it gone and I need the money for the next phase of getting the D2 to where I want it to be. Happy browsing, if you want to know anything give me a shout...

Probably the least interesting post ever but after I guess almost a year I dropped the battery from my D2 into my D1 and of course she starts literally first turn of the key like nothing had happened. The D2 has consumed too much money for me to be able to afford the welding on the old girl so...

Belt off, I can turn the part where the belt runs by hand while the front stays static, you can make what sounds like metal touch metal. 99.9% sure it’s what my turn off squeak and rattle is but want to be sure as funds are too tight to replace parts for fun!

I don’t think it’s related but after removing a tuning box and swapping my injector loom a couple of days later I noticed this racket. It’s had a little squeak on turning off since I’ve had it and I’ve had some belt squeal when turning it on the last couple of times. Rattle panned across the...

On a recent holiday under load I had a ‘misfire’ lack of power and then a stall when stopped. Restarted then all good til the next time up a hill. Have swapped the injector loom and while I was at it removed the tuning box it had fitted. Found oil leaks around the cam cover and where the dcv...

Sadly have had a three day leaning trip in Wales reduced to one because of the above. When under a sustained load up a hill trying to maintain normal traffic speeds My D2 TD5 auto was beginning to lose power, then ‘misfire’ followed by a stall when you stopped. Turn the key again and all is good...

Long story short change of job means I am giving up my company car. I have a D2 which is/was a toy, wondering if to use it for my commute into East London daily. Circa 30 mins driving and 30 mins crawling in traffic, 22 miles each way. It’s a 157k 52 plate facelift TD5 auto on 245/75’s Kumho...

Feel reasonably happy with the huge hole in my wallet having played with it a bit. Cleared a couple of logged fault codes, nothing interesting but we’ll see if they come back. Alarm disarm set to all and I’ve enabled daytime running lights just because I can. Is there anything I need to avoid...

Seems hitting a pothole has upset the old girl, odd as I’ve done some laning this weekend and all has been good. Hopefully the AA man has a trick up his sleeve....

So a friend is catching the Landy bug having seen my discoveries and a few others and is interested in getting a freelander, naturally this is behaviour to be encouraged. Budget will only be £1500 or so though, are acceptable ones available in that budget or is it not enough? I can fiddle with...

Why? As on my Wales and lakes trips this year my D1 at standard height on the same 245/75/16’s had issues with the departure angle on occasions, the D2 has a massive arse and I’m suffering from some sag at the front, if I’m swapping springs and shocks anyway and if I’m going to do a lift at some...

so my trusty 300tdi has some rot that I hadn’t spotted until mot time, big fail on my part especially after the amount of work I’ve done to it but I’ve decided to go for a D2 rather than get the welding done. I’m assuming eBay is the place to sell it, any idea what I should be asking? It needs...
