Hi guys....I have a slightly unusual problem with my steering box. It was a brand new Adwest box, fitted a couple of years back, and there's now a bit of play at the steering wheel which I need to adjust out. Now normally you just undo the locknut on the adjuster a touch, stick an allen key or...

I've just decoded the VIn for this vehicle, and it's showing engine code "9" which is apparently for a TD5 with EGR, but no catalyst. The owner is the third owner, who bought it from a friend, so the EGR was deleted quite a while back....mystery solved, thanks

Took my Discovery in for MOT today, and was having a spot of dinner with a friend who has a March 1999 registered TD5,and we were talking about EGRs and stuff. Seems his Discovery was not fitted EGR or catalyst from new......first I've heard of UK market cars not having an EGR....thought it was...

I finally totally destroyed the ABs bumper on my Discovery 2 on Sunday, I hit a granite post hidden in a bush, which has shattered the shell, bent the reinforcement plate a touch and pushed the headlamp panel back a touch so I can't aim the headlamp. MOT is due on the 23rd, unlikely to pass as...

Hi guys As part of the long term rebuilding of Nigel the Disco (who I've now for two years.....) I will be converting him back to airbags next year - a previous owner put coils on. The compressor is still fitted, but I can't see any air pipes, so I reckon I'll want a set from a scrapper as...

This is on my 15P engined TD5 Discovery with 214,000 miles. I've had it for nearly two years now, cjanged MAF, EGR removed, new fuel pump about a month ago. Runs really well and pulls like a train throughout the rev. range As the weather got colder last autumn, it sometimes took two or three...

Tried pushing the lock button this morning, and it worked....but, before you all say Aha, Rover 75 key, it works perfectly now, well so far anyway, try it at home time when it's had a rest Could be the exciter coil just needed energising....see how we go

I'll have a look tomorrow, thought it might be something like that

I have a 2001 Discovery 2 TD5, which came with one key. I bought another, had a key blade cut and refurbished with a new body and switches, then coded it in with my Nanocom....The problem is that it will lock and unlock the car fine, fits in the ignition, and turns in the lock, but the starter...

What always gets my goat is the question of advisories. The station I have been going to for the past 18 years or so has two testers, and older guy who has many, many years experience and knows older cars. and a younger chap who doesn't quite seem to know what he's looking at. I've taken a car...

I now have an MOT pass - retested on Friday after a few small jobs had been done. My mechanic did the Italian tune up on the way to the statio, and it came back with a pass. This particular testing station uses the Hoffman Geogas 5000 exhaust emissions tester, and they don't print out what I'm...

2001 Eu3, yes I have cleaned the MAP, and the MAF is new, and not cheap. I don't rev because that's how I drive, in the torque curve. When the welding ans stuff is done I'll give it a good hard drive, see if that does it..... And, I'll change the MDV

Guys, I need a bit of advice.....my Discovery went for MOT last week, and among other things - bit of easy welding and some bushes - it failed on emissions. I now nothing about diesel emissions really, this is the newest vehicle I've ever owned. It's done just over 210,000 by the way. The smoke...

The TD5 Discovery is huge value, as capable as a Defender, but more comfortable, better road manners and amazingly cheap. I paid £900 for mine

I'm in Stoke as well, so that's at least three round here.....

I had thought CPS as I said. Got one ordered, a Hella - try to fit it next weekend.

Hi Guys I have this Discovery 2 TD5 (that's the Nigel mentioned), which I bought in June for not much money. I've had a tussle with ABS faults, which the Nanocom helped with no end, and now Nigel is MOT'd for another year. The seller had stuck plastic tape over the warning lights BTW...

Sorted the problem. Changed the master cylinder tonight. All bled up and working now.

Indeed I did. No fluid from left front/rear right. But.....looking further, there doesn't seem to be any fluid coming from the master cylinder to that particular circuit. I took both feeds of the modulator this morning, and with my wife pumping the pedal, fluid gushed out of one and none out of...

Hi all I've not long had this Discovery 2, bought it cheap with ABS issues I've changed the shuttle valve on the ABS modulator today - took the modulator off as I couldn't get enough waft on the allen bolts to undo them with it in situ. Tight little devils they were even with it on the...
