    Disco 2 Oil pump bolt disaster - it happened to me!

    Mine is a 1999. It had already suffered from the usual problems (oil at ECU, rear chassis rust and 3 amigos) which have been fixed. I’m hoping there isn’t much else left to go wrong (i can hear you all laughing).

    Disco 2 Oil pump bolt disaster - it happened to me!

    Everyone knows about the bolt that holds on the TD5 oil pump pully in the sump. It can come loose and fall which means zero oil pressure. This just happened to me. My D2 has nearly 150k miles. I had been told by many people that it has probably been sorted by now and it is likely the bolt has...

    Disco 2 starter problem

    It could just be a loose connection. My starter had the exact same symptoms over a year ago. I booked it into my local independent LR specialist to fit a new one. Luckily they are honest and told me the connections just needed cleaning and tightening and just charged me a tenner. It has worked...

    Disco 2 Faults appearing

    Hmmmm.. I just checked it again after having done 90 miles today. No faults logged. I deleted the EGR a couple of years ago with a blanking kit. I wonder if pulling (and then reconnecting) loom connectors helped to fix it? I think all I can do is monitor the ECU plug as you suggest and check for...

    Disco 2 Faults appearing

    No. As I mentioned in my original post above, I plug the diagnostic in every 2 weeks regularly. They weren't there two weeks ago.

    Disco 2 Faults appearing

    I have cleared all the DTCs. I have to drive to Manchester and back tomorrow...so I will check it again after about 90 miles of mostly motorway driving and see if anything new is logged.

    Disco 2 Faults appearing

    I just checked now....but the plugs are clean. Not a spec of oil. The loom was replaced a couple of years ago.

    Disco 2 Faults appearing

    Hi folks I have an old Hawkeye diagnostic. I tend to connect it to my Disco 2 TD5 every couple of weeks just to check if any faults (DTCs) have appeared (as a preventative measure). Today, I decided to connect it as the 'sound' the engine was making seemed slightly unusual. Despite this the...

    Disco 2 MPG issues

    I have the most bog-standard unmodified D2 TD5 there is. It is 1999 on the original engine and box and gives me 32 - 33 mpg. I can go offroading in it without bolting on loads of extras, because it is already designed to do it. I don't see the point of tuning the engine as it sits in a...

    Maf not needed on 10p engine

    All I know...is that my 10P engine ran like a dog - diagnostic shows MAF was knackered. I fitted an OEM unit and the car ran a hundred times better...better MPG and better acceleration and top-end performance etc.

    Very nice bit of kit. Well done for creating it.

    I just bought a Hawkeye on eBay for £151. There are often a few secondhand ones for sale....like this one now...and this one too

    D2 towing MPG

    I don't tow - but I am getting between 33 - 35 MPG commuting via motorway every day (500 miles a week). If you are getting a figure in the 30s whilst towing, I think you are doing very well (I usually cruise at around 60MPH in 5th).

    Disco 2 Stig at the dump

    I didn't know there was a fuel cut-off switch. Where is it please (in case I end up in the same situation)?

    Disco 2 Oil change: go by mileage or time elapsed?

    Most of my miles are motorway rather than short trips. I will compromise and give it a proper oil service at Christmas!

    Disco 2 Oil change: go by mileage or time elapsed?

    I was wondering whether people gave their Discos an oil service based on miles since last service - or time elapsed. I gave my D2 Td5 oil and filters exactly a year ago - but I have only covered 1,829 miles in that time. Seems a waste to pay for 7L of oil and a new filter for so few...

    Disco 2 Stoplock Steering Wheel Security

    True, but I have to park in a dodgy part of Manchester where smackheads will try and steal anything. The plan is that they see an obvious deterrent that they cannot be arsed dealing with and move to the next car along without it. I can do without a busted door, lock and window when they try (and...
