    do the fron tyres need to be the same as the rear tyres?

    I agree with ashleywood. Take the opportunity to buy 4 x 16" rims and new tyres

    To buy or not to buy a V8 D2?

    I've had my D2 V8 for about 6 years and have had no major problems at all. I drive more or less to speed limits without massive acceleration and normally get in the region of 20mpg. Converted to LPG years ago so benefit from half price fuel. As with everything a service history is important...

    Have been offered a 1999 V8 on LPG.

    Agree with listerdiesel. Had my Disco 2 with LPG for 7 years with no issues. Regular in time servicing is important for both car and LPG system. Therefore check service history and usual rear chassis for rust

    Good Price Paid To Replace Core Plug in TD5 Discovery 2

    How bad is the leak? I had a weeping core plug and not having time to do the full repair decided to temporarily try some bars leak. One bottle and the leak stopped. That was nearly a year ago and still no leaks so far. No water loss whatsoever and temperature is rock solid correct (according to...

    Another ACE question (ear defenders on already)

    I had a similar problem a couple of years ago and following advice on this forum changed the pressure transducer as the easiest and cheapest first try. Completely solved the problem and have had no further problems in two years. As said 90% of faults with the system seem to stem from the...

    20" stormers need to go

    Another vote for 16". My car came with 18" but I quickly bought a set of 16" because the car was so uncomfortable with the 18" on anything but super smooth German autobahns. I hardly ever use the 18" now.

    R990 playing up

    Try sliding a credit card over the top of the cassette in the CD player to trip the micro switch. May solve your problem - worked for me

    Key fob/eka problem Discovery 2 (1999 TD5)

    Just had this same problem. Imobilised and alarm sounding. I was recovered by the AA to the nearest Land Rover main dealer and they found that it was an earth connection fault. They made connections good and so far has solved the problem

    Which Discovery

    I had the same decision to make 6 years ago - Petrol or diesel. I eventually decided on the V8 - the price differential between the V8 and TD5 allowed me to have installed a quality LPG system with the overall price being approximately the same. In six years I haven't come close to regretting...

    V8 Driving me mad!

    Sounds very much like filters to me. I have my system serviced every 8000 miles and the difference between old and new filters even at this mileage is remarkable. I full LPG service should sort everything out

    need new air flow meter disco 2 v8

    Part number is ERR7171. I agree it is worth paying the extra for Bosch manufactured item. Almost all land rover parts suppliers will have this

    TD5 or V8 LPG ?

    I get 20mpg on petrol with my 4.0 V8 Disco 2 and about 18 - 19 mpg when using LPG. But when you consider cost of the fuel (roughly half price of Petrol/Diesel) this give a price equivalent of 38 - 40 mpg against Petrol

    Discovery 2 arch trim,sprats removal and refitting questions

    Warm the arch trims with a hair dryer and gently pull off the old trims. They should come off clean but if not wipe the glue with solvent and it will easily come off the bodywork. Replacement trims come with two strips of adhesive already mounted on the trim and providing that the bodywork is...

    Air intake pipe

    Better to find out why it's backfiring. LPG system properly installed on a Disco 2 shouldn't backfire at all. If it has backfired it's probably blown the MAF (Air flow meter between air filter box and throttle body) If this has gone then will probably always backfire - but you need to get fault...

    Td5 Warning light

    Light with one arrow up and one down is the ACE warning light. Almost certainly a faulty sensor

    18inch Hurricane alloy wheels

    These fit Ok - and were original equipment on ES models. Standard tyre size is 255 55 18 and there is no need to re-calibrate the speedo. However - I changed my 18 inch wheels ror 16" because the ride on 18" absolutely terrible. Follows ruts caused by heavy lorries. Had no such proplems with the 16"

    disco 2 towing nightmare..........

    As iansoady said. Those three are the most likely but if as you say the van towed ok behind your previous car main culprit is probably tow ball height. As said the caravan should be slightly nose down.
