I seen on your first posts you skimmed the head, did you fit a thicker gasket after? Ex from two holes to three holes? Or the same size?

Hi, Recently I had a problem on my Disco 2, the top hose (2 years old) just punctured where the T is jointed, developing a 2-3 mm hole , spreading coolant everywhere. Lucky me, hearing the belt noise, I plugged the Hawkeye and seen the temperature climbing up, to 106-108 C. Stopped the car...

Finally, the problem was solved! It was the differential, the front one. About 30k miles ago, when I first changed the oil in it, I remember that the oil was very dirty, with a lot of iron "dust" in it, unlike the rear one, where the oil was clear. Finally, the pin carving an oval shape in the...

Anybody experienced a broken half shaft? I am ready to order a front axle just to be on the safe side but don't know if it's the symptom of a half shaft or front diff. Is the oil leak common on broken half shafts on Discovery 2? I am thinking that the rest of the shaft is not centered if broken...

Now, the car is driving only if the CDL is locked; improper said driving,only rear left wheel is moving,both front and reverse, none of the front, and rear right is just moving very little, a few inches. I can see which wheel is moving as the car is blocked in snow, only wheels are moving... As...

It's a snowy winter here, the snow it's up to 6 feet high. I was helping a van to get out of snow, I was in low, a lot of rpm as the van was heavy... and clonk! No drive at all.... Lucky me, engaged the CDL, and drive home like a crippled dog, with only rear wheel drive( a bloody P38 RR was...

With the Hawkeye, you can go in ABS, live data,and then to Shuttle valve switches, or something very similar. They must be both open, then both closed,when you press the brake. If only one is closed one open, it's the problem with the switches. You can go also in the ABS, test, and also go to...

Have a look on the low pressure pipe, the one from reservoir to pump,maybe a circlip or damaged hose. If it was high pressure circuit it was easier to be diagnosed(all fluid gone in seconds,due to high pressure).

It's good to change the fluids at a new bought car,to be on the safe side. The ACE fluid is a green one, called EXTREME CLIMATE PAS FLUID,going also in the power steering reservoir.Normal aspect is like brake fluid,but light green. There is also a filter in the valve block under the right side...

Hi guys! Just a last update on my brakes problem! I received yesterday the new master cylinder, fitted it today. The brakes are now working perfect. Conclusion: -if two diagonally placed wheels are not working,it is because one of your brake circuit didn't work -if using a tester,one of your...

Not yet(my brake cylinder is traveling now...), but as long as it works with air, at 2-3 bar(normal tyre pressure) it probably will work with a new master cylinder using liquid instead and having a higher pressure. Will find it by the end of the week.

A little update: -ABS module dismantled in pieces, cleaned,air pressure blown, and reassembled. Shuttle valve switches checked with the Ohm meter, correct values were shown when both open, both closed, one closed. No fluid on the switches. -pipe out of the master cylinder, blowing pressure air...

Some news after today work: -it's right-front and left-rear that are not working at all. -trying to bleed them,no fluid is coming out from the bleed screw under braking(it was no problem to the rear left wheel,but no fluid is coming there). -taking the pipe out of the modulator, braking, no...

OK,but no fault codes or three amigos! I seen on RAVE something about self-protection of brake circuit against overheating,but how to unlock it?:doh: "Brake overheat prevention To prevent the brakes overheating, the SLABS ECU monitors the amount of active braking employed and, from this...

Hi everybody! After the pain to remove and to repair the steering box on my Disco 2, I decided to wash the old oil traces from the engine compartment. Going to a test drive on the hills, I tried and used a lot the HDC to keep the system working. After 2-3 miles I arrived home with the right...

Viscous fan replaced by electric one and middle exhaust box replaced with the straight pipe helped me also.Be sure that the MAF works properly,right tyre pressure and no brake binding.

Hello, I just put yesterday evening the Evo 1 in my manual R380 Discovery 2(arround 125kmiles). Since I bought it, 35kmiles ago, I had a lot of shifting problems; I was changing the clutch kit, slave cylinder, trying a special oil-Redline Shock Proof-no special results. I tried the MTF94 (local...

The filler plug is a Torx 55, it is on driver's side, about 10-15 cm from the bottom of the gearbox, you can check it with your fingers.

On a manual Disco2 is 262 g/km , on an automatic is 284 g/km.

It depends of what off-road tyres means for you... I use Grabbers only for tarmac and long-road trips on the summer. Tryed them harder once in the spring and see the results... that day I ordered the KL71's(camskill) and still use them most of the year with no issues,including 2,7 tones trailer...
