Ok having done the P38 hockey stick bushes on the front and using the special tool to achieve this i want to do the rear bushes. The bushes appear to be the plastic outer same as the front so i assume they have to have a compression tool aswell but i can find no reference to a tool part no or if...

Ok playing with a td5 i have had to repair basically everything on the bloody thing but this is the latest fault. Its an automatic and it all started with a big flat spot when started you can rev - it will reach nearly 3200 rpm flat as a pancake then punch you in the face with boost and from...

Hi guys i have been given a 90 with a 4.2 range rover classic engine and box the prob being the engine has a crack around a core plug so looks to be shagged. My old man was gonna scrap his old 3.9 classic so i grabbed that up. This classic has been sat up for about 7 years and i want to get it...

We have enough bits to make a dodgy disco td5 minus the engine as it blew up quite nicely the truck is only gonna be used as an offroad work vehicle - towing trailers etc on festival sites so doesn't need another £1000 worth of td5 engine. The 300 tdi uses the same gearbox but what do you...

Been playing with a friends 90 which has a leaking rear axle seal oil coming out over the disc and into the hub. Didn't think much of it then remembered we had done the rear stub axles and seals 2 years ago. Both bearings had gone and the stub axle seal mounting areas had rusted out on the old...

Hi guys my mate has broken his td5 (1999 disco 2) pretty nicely today was driving down the motorway when the temp gauge rocketed so he stopped pretty quickly but it seems to have done some hefty damage. Was chucking it down when the problem occured which i think delayed his response the top...

I remember reading that gl5 eats brass and is therefor not suitable for use in the diffs. I just checked the comma oils website and it says use gl5 for diffs and not the transfer. So what do you use gl4 for all or a mix gl4 transfer and gl5 diffs? cheers people James

Ok a friend bought a disco the other day then rang me up saying its sounds really tappety. So i said i'd have a gander. Pulled the lid off to find the rocker closest to the bulkhead loose and the shim off the top of the valve stem missing. Little bit of fishing to find the shim and i thought...

On the disco 2 fuel pressure regulator is the 6mm pipe the inlet from the tank pump and the return the 8mm line which runs through the fuel cooler or is it the other way round? Many thanks James

A friend has an early disco 2 with coil spings there are bearmach blue hd springs and monroe shocks fitted all round but the truck seems lower on the drivers rear corner. Are the bearmach springs for the rear sided like the terrafirma one and its possible they are fitted on the wrong side...

Hi guys a friend of mine has a 1998 disco td5 which just recently developed a poor idle missfire and underpowered when driving. My carman scan wouldn't connect so i borrowed a friends autodiagnos and got 5 codes 2 were for air conditioning which is not fitted to the car so i'm not including...

A friends 90 custom build is making a wierd noise but only when you turn left and not all the time. The wheel can be put to full right hand lock and when turned back makes a noise at some points that is a slightly grinding duck quack? great description eh? I greased the steering ujs on the...

I have purchased a 2" Lift kit with shocks springs new turret rings and extended brake lines. I also have a full poly bush kit to fit at the same time, From what i have been reading it is quite likely that this lift is gonna wreck my prop uj's and balls up my steering geometry. I read that...

Gonna lift the defender when i rebuild all the suspension, axles etc. Obvious things needed for the lift are Shocks, springs , extended brake lines, turret rings. With a 2 inch lift are cranked arms and propshaft spacers needed? Is there anything vitally important i have overlooked? cheers
