So decided not to sell the disco and it’s been running well for ages, straight through mot etc etc But last week it started, well not starting!! Had a similar issue before and it had a new starter So I’ve; checked the battery - it’s fine. About a year old bullet battery. Ab

Regrettably selling my Discovery 2 (2002) TD5 auto with lots of work/mods and spares! £4500 100k miles Southdown snorkel Extreme 4x4 front bumper Extended wheel arches Stage 1 remap, stormtuning 16” alloys with insta turbo risko tyres Forge waste gate Silicone intake hoses Gwinn Lewis steering...

hi all, it's been a fair while since I've posted on here - the disco has been running smoothly which was nice! But over the weekend the curse of the air suspension has kicked in and the air appears to be dead. I'll add some detail to that! there are no faults showing for the air (the...

So, while I really don’t want to sell the disco, cheating wife forces sale! however I have no idea where to get ideas on price for it as it’s been modified and there’s nothing really like for like that I could see. Any ideas on places to get a guide from?? It’s a 2002 D2 TD5 (pre facelift)...

Is is possible?! The bush on my front ACE has finally given up (RBX101740) and I'm tying to figure out if I can get away without removing and disconnecting the ACE ram. It looks like I can take the bolts out of the two bushes at the roll bar end and then remove the bar and bracket/holder from...

So I’m looking for the correct part numbers for the auto gearbox sump and filler bolt & washers and while eBay and googling generally comes up trumps they’re not infallible which made me wonder where people go as a resource for part numbers? is there a central resource (like RAVE) that can be...

Not technically a purely discovery question but the battery is in the disco so here goes! When would you consider getting a new battery based on the heath check/readings? Mine appears fine and after a top up charge last night with a CTek it’s fully charged but showing at 73% health - while I...

Decided to go for a drive in the rain (flash floods) yesterday eve and after accelerating out of a big puddle the revs got to about 3k rpm and then “bounced” and I had to lift off to get the gears to shift up (TD5 auto). (Stupid Q) is that the turbo overboosting?! How can I check that...

not sure if i'm overthinking/worrying about this but after a reasonable off-road day I've developed a clunk on steering - usually full articulation but things dont feel as stable as they used to (and metalic tinkling noise when going over bumps but thats something else to chase down!) I've put...

Morning all! trying to find a new pair of front spring seats for the D2 - but can only find 1 or 2 places selling them for £60 EACH!! surely there must be alternatives but I can’t find them, any ideas?!

I nipped out earlier to do a quick brake pad change on the disco and after removing the passenger side calliper I noticed that the lower guide pin was stuck - totally seized! it went through mot with no issues a month ago and they were “ok” about 2years ago when I replaced the discs but now...

Firstly, sorry for another tyre/wheel size question. All of the links to info on wheel sizing that I’ve found in older posts are no longer valid - so here goes. I’ve been running 255 AT3’s on my Std 18” alloys since buying the car but a flat today revealed a damaged rim and I’m biting the...

Had this “issue” for a while but as I don’t really do many miles in it on the road it’s not been bugging me too much but as I was test driving after fitting new UJ’s to the props it annoyed me again! So under acceleration it pulls fine to 3k rpm but won’t pull past that, it seems to stick...

Hi all While replacing the 3 x UJ’s on my front prop yesterday I managed to lose a few of the smaller roller needles from the centre bearing in the double cardan joint - it’s all back together and working but obviously not ideal and I need to replace that centre bearing soon. I’ve...

My D2 is one of the middle year models without the diff lock (I’ve checked!!) and so has to reply on the TC which generally is ok but I came unstuck (or rather very much stuck) again this eve when collecting some logs from the woods with my double axle trailer on - it pretty much dug itself in...

So I tried to follow UP’s guide on replacing the fuel pressure regulator this morning to fix the “common” leak but the top bolts are in danger of rounding and I can’t break them free. I don’t want to keep going with socket or ratchet spanner in case I do round them off I’ve seen another post on...

Just when I thought I’d cracked it.... clearly I celebrated too soon After replacing my abs modulator and sorting the amigos as I noticed another small oil leak from the engine yesterday and the bottom of the auto gearbox housing is covered in nice black oily goo. The leak seems to be coming...

I’ve managed to narrow down my abs issues to the modulator and have got hold of a decent s/h complete abs unit from a 2003 D2 - I want to try to just swap the valve module to start with as the faulty connection is with one of the outlet valves before changing the whole pump and bleeding brakes...

evening all, after running fine for months and shelling out a fortune (relatively!) on new steering knuckle joints for both sides my wonderful D2 has thrown up the 3 Amigo's along with the red handbrake/brake light. I've cleared the intermittent "rear left output valve" fault with the nanocom...

So, I managed to let the car roll back yesterday (on a muddy slope) and the drivers door caught on my mates Defender (considerably tougher it turns out!) and i've put a lovely dent all down the door where its crushed on the front wing and the check strap has started to rip out of the A...
