Hi guys, As I've sold my Discovery TD5 I don't have a use for my Nanocom One diagnostics unit. It's fully working, and listed for sale here (no reserve): Nanocom One - diagnostics for Land Rover Discovery/Defender | eBay Thanks for your interest! Regards, David

Hi Guys, I've finally got my SLS controller kits ready to ship for those who are interested! As a brief summary, this gives you a wired switch to let you control the height of the rear air suspension on the Disco2, by mimicing the signal from the Land Rover OEM suspension remote...

Hi! I have noticed that on full lock I occasionally get an unpleasant squeaky sound from the front axle somewhere. Having recently cleaned and painted the front radius arms and changed the radius arm bushes, I can now see an area where the nearside arm had a tyre scrub mark on it. I suspect...

Hi guys, I am trying to see if it is possible to wire in a SLS raise/lower switch for my Disco 2. I don't want the expense/hassle of a wireless remote, so am looking to see if I can wire something in. I know I could do something dirty direct to compressor/valves, but the nicer way would be...

Hi guys, Quick parts query if you could help! Are the front ARB drop links on a discovery2 the same, regardless of whether you have ACE or conventional ARBs? I'm assuming SLS doesnt make a difference to the front ARB drop links! Cheers, David

Hi guys, I have a 2001 td5 disco with SLS and ACE. I have just bought some new standard terrafirma shocks for all round and I want some new front springs too. However I don't want any lift, happy with the stock suspension height. Any suggestions about what springs would do this nicely at a...

Hi guys, I'm after a bit of help :-) My TD5 Disco makes skidding noises on going round corners, either direction. The handling doesn't seem too bad, and it isn't related to acceleration. Even going round corners at a relatively sensible speed makes it sound like a boyracer skidding...

Hi guys, I have a 2001 TD5, and have decided after having replaced the clapped out Watts linkage bushes that I will replace the shocks and front springs (have rear air). I don't want any lift, but do do a bit of towing so wondered if I could have a reasonable recommendation for replacement...

Hi guys, I have the 'usual' rear door lock problem with the lock getting seized and requiring regular sprays of WD40 through the LandRover logo badge, but am getting a bit fed up with it as it keeps getting seized at the most inconvenient times! I need to get it fixed but am not sure exactly...

Hi guys, I've got a Disco2 TD5, and have ongoing problems with my 12N socket. It is currently attached on a bracket next to the towball, but it gets thunked and bent on offroad days. Worse still, I use the disco to launch a boat, and sometimes the socket ends up submerged, meaning that it and...

Hi guys, I have got a new rear step gas ram to fit on my Disco2 2001 TD5. The old one had come apart so the rear step was always down. The problem is this: the new one is slightly too long at its extended position to make it possible to bolt it in at both ends and it is so strong that I...

Hey guys, I am in the process of bunging an original LR loadspace liner into the back of my 7 seater disco. I don't intend to use the seats any more (or when the liner is in place). Would I be best removing the carpet, or leaving it in, underneath the boot liner? I tend to carry wet diving...

Hi guys, My front ACE actuator has started seeping ACE fluid from the boot around the actuator arm, so I am suspecting its' internal seals have given up the ghost. The pipes are also pretty ropey, so I thought I would replace the front ACE actuator and the pipes for it, but try to avoid...

Hey guys, Yet another bloody panhard rod question! My local LR dealer never actually listens to what I say when I order parts, so it is always a bit hit and miss with what I get. I asked for an SLS air compressor filter last time and got an ACE hydraulic filter, just to give you an idea...

Hey guys, Removed my panhard rod today to rebush it with polybushes and didn't mark which way up it went, and which way round. RAVE says that "the panhard rod is shaped at one end to allow clearance for the axle casing" - but as far as I can see the rod is identical each way round! Any tips...

Hey guys, I am replacing my steering box (and damper, and panhard rod bushes) at the same time, and wonder if someone could offer me a bit of advice. What's the best way to hold the nuts that secure the panhard rod in place? The bolt head is nice and easy to access, but the nut is inside a...

Hi guys, I am after a new power steering box for my 2001 td5 as I have a leak from the bottom of the shaft, gradually getting worse, and it is time to do something about it! I would prefer a reconditioned box really due to meanness - however Adwest/Magal want in excess of £300 for a new one...

Hi guys, I am replacing my steering box in a couple of weeks and am also going to fit a new steering damper on my td5. Should I get a LR original damper: LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 2 STEERING DAMPER on eBay (end time 14-Aug-10 10:30:30 BST) or a terrafirma one (which *looks* tough, but I have no...

Hi guys, still overhauling my propshaft after having a few fiddles - quick question - is there a particular order to putting the joints back in the Hookes joint? I have tried assembling it from the long end of the propshaft, and have had great trouble getting the smaller end in to place with...

Hi guys, Just rebuilding my front propshaft (2001 td5) and replacing the UJs and centre bearings. First problem I encountered was that the splines were seized absolutely solid - no movement whatsoever in the shaft. Using a drift I managed to tap the shaft back into itself but that still...
