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...

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...

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...

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...

My wife has just come back in our Discovery 2 and told me that the driver's side window is broken. Apparently she was closing the window using the button on the console when she heard "a click" and broke the mechanism. The window won't rise and just slips down. Can someone please tell me what...

My Discovery 2 has a minor oil leak from the plate just to the front of the rear axle, as shown in the photograph: This is after I'd cleaned up the area and the car has been stood for a day. The oil can be seen forming a drip at the top left hand corner of the plate. The leak appears to be...

Can someone please give a novice amateur motor electrician a few pointers on how to diagnose a fault with a Discovery 2, TD5 rear washer? The rear washer has not worked since I bought the vehicle last year. I accessed the pumps in front of the near side wheel arch and tested them by swapping the...

I've had my Discovery 2, TD5, now for about seven months. I changed all the oils when I bought it. For the engine oil I replaced both filter cartridge and centrifuge at the same time. It's now done just over 4K miles and I am planning to change the engine oil again. While the Haynes manual...

I am still trying to open up the pdf files of the Rave manual. I'm working on it. Until then, can someone please tell me what this component is (I can't find it's image in the Haynes manual): The view here is looking up into the engine through the twist-off cover just below the oil sump plug...

I've been a member of this forum for a few months and have never filled this out. I bought my first Land Rover in the Spring of this year. It is a 2002 Discovery 2. I'm currently in Yorkshire but relocating to Caithness and the vehicle has already done three trips. Apart from the immobiliser...

This has been discussed already on this forum, and I've spent a while reading the previous posts. But I'd like to ask again about potentially mixing Power Steering fluids (PSF), as the information is not clear: I bought my D2 about six months ago and the PSF level was at the minimum mark on the...

This is not really a Land Rover question, but I thought that someone here would know. I bought my Discovery 2 to tow a caravan. Caravan is now moved, and I'd like to buy a flat-bed trailer. This was my first time towing a caravan and I have never bought a trailer. The car's tow bar is not height...

Can someone help me please with a bit of advice? I noticed recently that my Discovery 2, TD5, has lost some coolant: about 100mL over about 60 miles since I did my last weekly checks. I've had the car about eight months and it has always been fine, having done ca. 4000 miles including six long...

My wife wants to advertise her business on the back of our Discovery 2's spare wheel cover. She's looked at different companies who sell stickers for months and has been hesitating over whether they are any good. I am also a bit sceptical about whether the stickers will adhere properly. I...

I have recently spent four days under my Discovery 2 treating the chassis with Bilt Hamber UB wax sealant. The car has had its wheels off, and when I did the back end it has been on axle stands (positioned under the rear axle). Yesterday I noticed that the rear end had sunk down. A picture is...

Can someone tell me how to remove the rear mudflaps for my Discovery 2? Though a simple job, I can see that there are two cross-headed screws on the outer side, but specifically it is the two 'fixings' directly behind the wheel that I can't figure out. What are they? Mine are heavily rusted, but...

Having recently purchased my 2003 Discovery 2, I now like it very much and want to protect the chassis from rust. It is not bad but there is a lot of surface rust - I took it to have its fluids changed so that I could draw a line under this aspect of the service history and the mechanic...

My Discovery 2, 2003, has the two standard roof rails and I've been looking at something to allow me to put ladders or timber, etc on the roof. I thought about those racks, but the only ones I can find are near to £1000! Am I looking in the wrong places? Also, do these racks fit onto the roof...

While investigating my recently purchased Discovery 2, TD5, I found that part of the inner rear wheel had corroded and dropped off. I've tried to find the name of the part that I need in the Haynes and other manuals but can't. Can someone please tell me what the part is called? I've attached a...

Being the new owner of my first Land Rover (Discovery 2, TD5, 2003), I am struggling to find where the best place to buy parts is. With my other car (a Fiat), I used to use Eurocarparts, but these don't seem to have much for the Land Rover. Can someone advise please? I also have a specific...
