Hi all, Search on forum/Google to no avail. Yesterday, I experienced for the first time the fan belt slipping on a 25 minute to a birthday party, where the sqealing sounded like my Mother-in-law. This was on starting and any acceleration. No big deal, I can fix that. On the way home same...

Seems I found the issue. In my haste to put the new bearing in, I did not check the O ring. On removing the bearing again, there is no O ring present. Need to buy one and a spare tomorrow.

Thanks all, It’s the ACE. Interestingly the reservoir shows full. I gave the unit a good clean. Now it’s ok.

I did go for a 5 minute drive after the newbearing fitment, and needed to park on the opposite side of the road. Thats when I noticed the leakage, all fitment was done today..

D2 yes. Its dripping down from the inside of the wheel assembly onto the disc then to the inside of the wheel. This is a gravity issue, as I need to park on the curbside, putting one front and rear wheel on the pavement and the other side of the road. By levelling the roadside rear wheel, as...

Hi all, Again no search result found. I have anoteher annoying oil leak from the mid section bottom of my Disco 2. Bear in mind its LHD. if it makes a difference/ This leak becomes active if the Disco is jacked up, or is level. Hopefully the pictures speak louder than words.

Hi all, After searching the forum, to no avail, I have 2x queries. I have a rear diff leak issue from the driver side (LHD vehicle), following a recent bearing change. The bearing purchased is the rear wheel bearing, oil ring short ABS cable etc. I have reduced, stopped the leak by jacking up...

Many thanks sir, one happy Disco owner :D

Voted.

Recently the Freelander was in its death froes, too many issues to list. The next stage was to look for something, which had to be Land Rover. After searching around we found a year 2000 Disco TD5 ES, once owned by the German government for use by the mountain rescue team. Then sold to a...

It was worth the comment we are losing the Freelander for a disco anyway :D

A colleague of mine passed on so I thought I would share. Jeep a medence ellen As soon we are to upgrade our Freelander to a Disco 2, and theres no market to sell, I was just wondering ...

Thanks all, and to the PM sent by a member yes it is a L model. year is 2000. I will definately inquire into a fix kit. Update we found the part number required: PMF100490.

Let me add some more to this. Essentially after we had some engine work carried out 2 weeks ago which involved some work on the camshaft, the car was returned and sat idle for a week. Last weekend we took it for the 90KM journey to mother in laws, driving there was no problems at all. On...

Hi all, Maybe I am going mad or a bit stupid. We currently have our Freelander (year 2000 2.0L) in the garage for repairs which is becoming a long and expensive story. We have been told the turbo is screwed and needs replacing. I have looked in the Rave CD and cannot find any reference to...
