    Disco 2 Air Suspension, pumped up through the roof

    Hi all '03 TD5 D2 I loaded the car up yesterday ready for a tip run today, a fair weight, but nothing like I've had in it before. I got to the tip this morning and immediately noticed that my r/n/s suspension was pumped right up...like right up (o/s is normal ride height) I've unloaded and tried...

    Disco 2 "Death wobble" and I think it's my fault

    Okay, this is hard to admit but here goes: ...all four of the small trailing-arm to chassis bushes on my '03 D2 TD5 were feathering slightly, but ride was good with no issues apart from a 'clunk' coming from just behind the driver's seat when hitting anything pot-holey at slow speed. I thought...

    Disco 2 Kangaroo juice

    Hi All So, I've a Disco 2 facelift, '03 TD5 manual. This time last year I had a new Valeo clutch, DMF and gubbins fitted and all was rosy. Jump to Jan this year and the old girl starts to kangaroo in 1st and reverse...and I really can't stick that. So I've biten the bullet and accepted that it's...

    Disco 2 I'm an idiot, second opinion please (harness mis-match)

    Hi Chaps So, I have a Disco 2 TD5 with >134k miles. Two years ago I fitted a new injector harness, but didnt tell the ECU (coz I didnt have diagnostics). Since then, I've had no trouble at all with normal driving, but if I go over 3k revs, there's been a stutter. I am an advanced trained driver...

    Disco 2 Sticky manual gearbox

    Hi I'm just back from a flying visit to Falmouth from Lancaster (~400 miles x 2 ) via M6, M5, A30 so pretty much all in 5th. The car was fantastic, didn't miss a beat...except...when I turned off the motorway/dual at each end of the trip and dropped out of 5th, I couldn't engage any other gear...

    Disco 2 Merry Christmas, and an Ashcroft question!

    Hi all, Merry Christmas! So I'm sat here 1.5 sheets to the wind (I love Christmas dinner) and wondering...is there any point whatsoever in fitting an Ashcroft ATB rear diff to a non-CDL'd '03 D2? I have this idea to make my Disco a real Q-car, by adding bits that make it unstoppable, but...

    Disco 2 Power Steering pumps and pipes - and a grumble

    1) Okay, I've finally lost patience with my local garage. Been using them for 4 years now, but increasingly there has been a lack of attention to detail (e.g. steering wheel coming back badly off-centre after new steering box fitted). This has now got to the point where I took the Disco down to...

    Disco 2 Gearing myself up for the decision

    Right, I'm fed up with my gearbox. It's lovely and 'snicky' one minute, then the next all the gears are blocked and I find myself free-wheeling down the road with pressure building in my head as I stir the lever thinking out loud and through a forced grin to the wife "It's in there somewhere"...

    Freelander 1 Water drip into engine bay

    Hi All My wife's '05 F1 has developed a water drip which emanates from a flexible pipe which emerges out of the soundproofing in the r/n/s of the engine bay and ends 6" below just hanging in mid air (is this the water drain from the shelf area beneath the windscreen [technical term]). It's the...

    Disco 2 Pure speculation on RTC yesterday

    First things first, my commiserations if this was a forum member and I hope nobody was hurt However, as someone who has just swapped out his springs, coils, airbags and shocks (because they were all okay for MOT, but except one airbag where all either completely nadged or very tired)...I can't...

    Disco 2 Isn't it ACE!?

    Hi all I've just had the estimate for replacing the 4 x front ACE pipes on my '03 D2 (which I love)...and today it comes to £423.71 + VAT (~£500) just for the pipes!! I've been through the threads here and it appears that I have 3 options: 1) bite the bullet and pay up 2) remove the ACE (and...

    Oil seal in Front hub?

    Hi All This is my first post so ...be gentle please. Last night I changed out the discs and pads in our 05 Freelander TD5 On removing the FOS wheel there was what looked like a short 'paintbrush splash' of black grease inside the wheel. There was also an amount of grease around the bottom of the...
