I have a series 2 v8 disco and need to change the plug leads which seem to disappear behind the back of the engine and the bulkhead. I've never worked on this engine before so I've no idea how to get to the 'Dizzy' end of the leads, can anyone help and is it a pig of a job ? Thanks, Phil.

Started my series 2 v8 today -no prob- it was already warmed up, Idled for about 1 minute and then it cut out just as if i'd switched it off and it wouldn't start. Called the RAC, he checked the usual,fuses etc, discovered no spark, plugged his laptop in but it wouldn't read anything 'cos he...

I've had a year 2001 v8 disco for about one year now-love it one small problem though.:confused: About once every month the traction control light comes on with the accompanying 3 bells along with the ABS and downhill lights. When I restart the engine a couple of times the lights go out...

Anyone know where I can obtain a workshop manual for a 2001 v8 Disco ?

The cruise control on my disco doesn't work,cant see any thing physical wrong,cable etc, so I assume it's an electronic problem. Does it have a dedicated ECU or is it part of the main ECU ? (expensive) Anyone know.:confused:

The brakes on my Disco are a bit "spongy' IE pedal comes up higher on second push, probably need bleeding or even fluid change after 123000 miles. Is this a straightforward job like any other vehicle or , given ABS and downhill thingy, will any garage be able to do it for me or does it need...

How do I check the fluid level in my auto gearbox, haven't spotted a dipstick yet,series 2 V8.

When I start up my v8 disco' the battery light stays on untill I give it a good rev then it goes out at 3000 revs and stays out for the rest of the day including stop/start. This is taking longer to work each time I use it, I've checked all belts OK and can't spot any loose wires anywhere...

Recently bought 2001 v8 Disco which sounds a bit tappety if you know what I mean. Mainly at low revs and under exceleration. I think this is a hydrualic system which I know nowt about but can anyone suggest what may be needed to cure this,is it a sign of low oil pressure (new pump?) new parts...

I'm still looking for a Y reg v8 front bumper, anyone got one?

I have some damage to the rear side panel,about 6 inches from where it meets the corner panel with the light cluster. I've had a look behind the side upholstery but it's double skinned so can't get at it to knock the damage out. I see some screws that appear on the inside edge of the...

I'm looking for front valance panel for my 2001 Y Reg V8, the lower one with fog lights, does anybody have one or know of a source in the north west, I've tried Breakerlink but no success so far. I have been quoted £450 new for one but far too expensive for me. Phil.

Just bought a 2001 series 2 v8 petrol Disco with some service history but no indication of a cambelt change, anyone know cambelt change intervals ? It's done 122K miles and I think it should have had one and be due for another, Phil.
