Anyone got any ideas here? On a long drive, fully laden last night. After about 50 miles at 65mph, I slowed down to a roundabout, and as I got below 10mph, an odd noise, apparently coming from the rear underneath. It sounds a bit like a pushbike freewheel hub but louder/deeper. Like a...

I was just doing some thinking. My TD5 is probably getting ready for it's second set of front hubs (the TAY100060). They were last done at 94,000 miles, and I'm now on 175,000 miles. We long-term D2 owners all know how expensive that is! Just a thought - now the cars are getting older...

I need some help guys. Donre a search, but it seems a different issue to others on here. (This is closest http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/starting-problem-125977.html but no resolution is given) Disco2, TD5, 174k miles, owned by me from new. Regular service (last fuel filter was about 3k...

Can anyone help. Similar problem reported here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/discovery-tail-gate-lock-72099.html It's not the usual rear door problem with the D2. The door locks fine from the central locking (so I assume it's not the motor/wiring/fuse). But once the central locking...

Guys My 2002 153k miles Disco (owned from new by me) has succumbed to a ACE failure. The pipes exiting the valve assembly (under the drivers door) have corroded through, and leaking. The Dealer suggests that there's more pipes heavily corroded and I should change all affected ones at the...

Back in 2007, I wrote an article on this very interwebsite, happy to have completed 100,000 miles in my Discovery 2. Now 7 years old, and at 150,000 miles, I thought you may be interested in sharing my experiences of driving 150,000 miles over 7 years in a Discovery 2 TD5. The vehicle was...

Guys 2002 TD2 Disco 2, 147000 miles (owned by me from new). I had my MOT last monday. Car sailed through as usual. However the testing chap pointed to a brake pipe in front of the fuel tank which was rusty, although he didn't fail the MOT, he did say that attention would be needed soon...

Just done a 140 mile journey. First 100 miles were great, but about 40 miles away (on way home) I noticed a very slight misfire...just a little "pinking" on acceleration. The misfire gradually got worse, and the car was down to 45 mph (1800 revs) ascending some of the hills heading home - very...

I did a 240 mile drive today, in snow, rain & generally crap conditions, even saw 2 guys off the road on Rannoch Moor. As we all know, it's an offence to drive with fog lights (front of rear) on when visibility is OK (over 100 metres...which means all the time in Blighty). I did a straw...

My 2002 td5 seems to be dropping tyre pressure over time - and dropping faster than would seem "normal". My rear tyres both dropped by almost 10psi over the last 2 months. Indeed this year I have needed to top-up pressure quite a few times, and it seems to be getting worse... All pressures...

Just back from a trip to Iceland. What a fantastic location for us Land Rover enthusiasts. This time we used ICELANDAIR to fly into Reykjavik, but ideally I would like to go again, and take the Discovery on the ferry ( http://www.smyriline.co.uk/ ) from Scotland. The Roads (only a handful of...

Sooo much negativity, how's about a thread where we discuss why we choose to own/drive a Disco? Here's my reasons: 1. Fantastic Load-carrying and Trailer-towing tool. 2. Look forward to snow/flood/bad weather...the Disco loves it! 3. A bit of green laning when the mood takes you. 4. As a...

I've had a small weep from my nearside rear hub for a while, I topped-up the diff a couple of weeks ago, and it took less than a cupful - shows how a bit of oil can look much worse than it actually is. The dealer had put a new seal in it at ~94k miles when it showed signs of weeping a couple of...

Now proven as a complete anorak! Well, we haven't had a td5 mpg post for a while... I have been keeping an occasional log of my MPG, and now taken note of 100 tankfulls (not every one, just when I remember). The car has been owned by me from new (6 years, 130,000 miles), and is...

There's been a lot of chat around MPG on this forum, but I was especially pleased with this, so I though I would bore you all with it! Sometimes I check my MPG (spreadsheet in my ipaq), and the average over 108 tankfuls (I sound like an anorak!) is almost 31 MPG. On Wednesday I filled the tank...

Last week, I picked up an unused, sharp rivet in my rear drivers side tyre. I could hear the rivet hitting the ground as i drove along (tick...tick... etc). When I took the rivet out the tyre lost pressure rapidly (i.e. right through). So there was I...jack out, spanners ready, then...

I've owned my Disco TD5 GS 5 Seat for 124k miles, and 6 years (from new - I am the only owner). I'm thinking of saying goodbye to the much-loved zambezi-silver machine... The reason for this thread is two-fold: 1. What's it worth? 2. Interest check (no-one ever searches the "for sale" column)...

I have a coolant leak (well a minor weep really, I've only lost about a pint of liquid since whenever it started, and there's no drips on the ground under the car). Beneath the exhaust manifold (and behind the turbo), there's something called a "water jacket threaded plug" in the cylinder...
