    Multiple water leaks Discovery 2

    Good thread and some nice welding. I am currently trying to solve the same issue: water ingress at the outer edge of both front footwells on my Discovery 2. On comments about the "inner wing to bulkhead area as a culprit", is this due to water splashing up from the wheel arch while driving in...

    Side Finisher Spring Clips

    I'm trying to locate the source of water ingress from the front of my Discovery 2 TD5. Well, I say from the front, specifically it is evident as continuously wet patches on the outer sides of both front seat carpets, but I haven't yet traced where it is coming in. Having recently had a new...

    Discovery 2 Advice on Brake Servicing

    Sorry for this simple question, and that it's been a long time before I've got round to the job. But, 'sliders': are these the two bolts (one upper and one lower) which when removed open up the calipers? They are called 'guide pins' in the Haynes manual. I've had a go on one wheel, taking out...

    Disco 2 Td5 3 amigos

    Can someone please tell me where the OBD port is please (Discovery 2 2001TD5)? I've searched for a good hour, in both footwells. Thanks.

    Disco 2 Td5 3 amigos

    The three amigos have today appeared on my Discovery 2 TD5. I've searched this forum and I'll try the shuttle valve wiring option first (as I'll need to take it to a garage to get the code read). What I haven't been able to find out is whether the truck is likely okay to drive, for short...

    Fuel Leak, Kink in Pipe.

    I've just found this: (YNI500030K) https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/yni500030-k-fuel-pipe-kit-to-repair-the-green-fuel-pipe-td5.html That has answered my question.

    Fuel Leak, Kink in Pipe.

    Thanks for everyone's help. I removed the fuel tank. Those side brackets didn't need loosening (they just restrained the tank at the top), but I did have to remove the tow bar bracket. It was indeed, also, the green fuel pipe that was leaking. Someone had previously patched it up. Good news is...

    Fuel Leak, Kink in Pipe.

    Thanks. Of course, I can see now why there is no need to remove the sender unit. So, it might be a stupid question, but do I need to remove those brackets on either side of the tank (as per my photo above) please? I'd rather not start trying to free up the rusted bolts if the tank comes out...

    Fuel Leak, Kink in Pipe.

    Thanks. NTC5859 is the part. On attempting to take the fuel tank out, I've removed the four bolts that hold the cradle in place, and according to the RAVE manual the tank should be loose enough to come out. Mine isn't. I assume that the two brackets on either side of the tank are holding it to...

    Fuel Leak, Kink in Pipe.

    My fuel tank leak is getting worse so have decided to take the tank out and investigate. I thought that it would give me better access to the rear chassis so I could give it a good clean and underbody seal at the same time. Can someone please advise on the following: 1. In the Haynes manual it...

    Fuel Leak, Kink in Pipe.

    It has been almost a year and I've lived with this small fuel leak. I took the rear trim out and examined the top of the fuel tank, but could find no leaks, then left it. It has no got any worse. To remove the kink in the breather pipe seems an easy test, but since no-one replied, I wonder if...

    Fuel Leak, Kink in Pipe.

    Having recently noticed a small patch of fuel dripping from the rhs front of the fuel tank support bracket, I read the RAVE manual to see about investigating above the tank. As a preliminary, I've attached a couple of photos: 1. The breather pipe has a kink in it. I was suprised to find that in...

    What is this plug?

    Will someone please tell me what this plug is for, it is about 5" back from the sump oil drain plug (Discovery 2 TD5)? My mind wasn't on the job when I was changing the engine oil and I unscrewed this plug instead of the sump plug. I was surprised to find that nothing came out of it. I've looked...

    Discovery 2 Front anti roll bar Drop Links

    I'm just about to replace my Discovery 2's from anti-roll bar drop links. They are quite heavily corroded, but the bottom bolts appears to require a male torx drive. Since I don't have a male torx drive set, I will buy one. Can someone please tell me the size/code number of the torx bit so that...

    Discovery 2 Advice on Brake Servicing

    I've had my first LR Discovery 2 for about 18 months now. I'm very pleased with the vehicle, but I've had a couple of issues with the brakes sticking. On both occassions I've had a garage attend to it, the most recent being an MOT failure. I'm a novice DIY mechanic, but like to do as much as I...

    Help with source of oil leak

    Thanks. The breather pipe is clear through both sections, but the leak is still there. At least I know it is not that. I'll try the leak sealant. Andrew

    Help with source of oil leak

    It is a bit embarrassing, as it seems simple DIY, but can someone tell me how (if it's possible) the breather pipes (disco 2) can be uncoupled from the connector shown in the attached photograph? I've spent ages trying, in vain. But the thing is I recall having had it apart before. The green...
