OK i've searched the forum but not really found anything that confirms why my sun visors had water on them after rain. 1998 TD5, no sun roofs and no roof rails. The windscreen seal needed doing by applying black sikaflex along the top of the seal and under the corners. I've also put clear...

Hi, im looking at a L322, 2004 td6, which I believe has the early bmw engine fitted to these vehicles. Its clearly been put on a private plate and had a tdv8 badge added but its definitely a straight 6. Just wanted to know what weaknesses I need to check for and also wondered what the auto box...

Strange thing, I noticed a pool of oil below the drivers side front corner. On investigating it seemed to be coming from the shock absorber. Anyway I've now removed and replaced the shock with a new one. Inspection of the failed shocker seems to indicate the weld at the bottom has become porous...

After what seems to be a considerably long time without a murmur from my disco 2, well except when I needed a rear drop link at the last mot, the interior lights have just started playing up. It rained like hell last night and when I got in the dico this morning everything seemed as normal...

Just thought I'd say what a fantastic vehicle my D2 is. I've been using it as my daily runner back and to from work and as a weekend work-horse for the diy jobs for a few years now. Yes I have spent some time sorting all the LR design and build issues out initially but I liked doing that and now...

Just thought I'd share the fact that I changed my tyres on the disco for General Grabbers a few weeks back. They are on standard D2 wheels and the D2 has a 2" lift on the suspension. The tyres are great on the road in the wet or dry and well "off road" they have a sufficiently good rep anyway...

Had the wierdest of drives into work this morning. Everything was well until I accelerated onto a roundabout and the disco just revved a little then chocked up, lift off throttle and lovely tickover. Had to limp onto the works carpark until I had a chance to look at it. When I got a chance at...

Well the drivers door stopped opening on the fob a couple of weeks ago, though it does lock on the fob. Sounds like a standard issue so needs replacing. Searched the usual on line sources and can't believe the prices people are expecting for a 20 year old part that is prone to failure. Some are...

Filled up with diesel the other night and 1/2 mile from the filling station someone is flashing their lights at me. On looking in the mirror several times I noticed the rear window was wet and a trail of liquid on the road behind me. I pulled up on the first available grassed verge and lifted...

Well not what I wanted today really but the key fob, including the spare, are not opening the doors and disabling the alarm. Fortunately I have the horn disconnected from the alarm but the vehicle is is still immobilised and I can't see the BCU as a result on my Nanocom. Anyway, I've finally...

Spent the day taking the sump off the D2 to check the oil pump bolt and sort a sump gasket leak. The D2 is a 1998 with low mileage but because I had no knowledge of whether the pump bolt had been lock threaded I needed to check. When I eventually got at it, it was still tight but I removed it...

The past few days I have noticed a slight lean to the drivers side. I measured from the ground to the wheel arch on both sides and found the front about 5-10mm lower on drivers side and the rear 20mm lower. I put new springs and shocks on a year or so ago (the kit with 2" lift) and I wouldn't...

For years I kept my D2 and my 110 before that in the garage only to be used at the weekends. After having my new car scratched in the works carpark (door to door, formed small dent as well) less than 3 months after buying it, I have for the past 3 weeks been using the D2 back and to for work...

OK made a start today on preparing the chassis for waxoyling. I bought the car because the chassis was good, even though a 1998 but been putting off the job for some time. Anyway first job is get the tank off and fix a snapped bolt on the tow bar mounting, then prep the main area around it. I'm...

I have the front and second row doors from my old 110 csw. I repaired and reskinned another set of doors and then swapped them with these. These doors are in better shape than the ones I repaired surprisingly though they do still have rust issues and will need reskinning too. They will need...

Well chuffed today I have now got cruise control. Bought the steering wheel switch for £17.50 and the dash switch for only a little more. Used the bracket off the stereo control switch to mount the cruise control on after I had used a piece of tape to transfer and cut out the hole needed for it...

Well I went into the garage to get the D2 out this morning (well late morning), switched on the ignition, waited for heater plugs to go out and then cranked over. Very slow and unable to start. Got the garage battery out and jumped it fine but it did seem a little lumpy at first when it fired...

Picked up one of those Land Rover magazines when waiting in Tesco for my wife to finish shopping. After reading the price guide in the back I felt a little deflated, especially as my interpretation would seem to be that the 1993 110 I sold is worth 3k more now and the 1998 D2 I purchased is...

Compared to the 110 I had the insurance on the Disco 2 is much higher. Strange really because I always felt the 110 was at risk of theft and I dont have the same worries with the Disco. The 110 was probably worth more despite being older too . . . . We are only talking 180 quid to 261 quid and...

As my D2 suffered from the plastic dowel head issue, which I caught early enough and it now runs lovely again I'm wondering if I need to check this oil pump bolt or not. My D2 is late 1998 so very early and has 75K on it. Anyone know at what mileage these issues have manifested themselves on...
