    Disco 2 Lots of rotten parts on my 03 Disco!

    I can't believe how rotten the rear step was on my 2003 Disco with less than 90k on it! I also had to replace the rear brake shields as they had holes in along with the calipers, discs and brake carriers. I do wonder if it was used to reverse a boat into the sea.........Chassis is all good...

    ECU fault codes Td5

    I have a few fault codes logged which come back after I clear them with my scanner (iCarsoft i930): 1. Air flow circuit fault: Logged High = MAF sensor? 2. Road speed missing fault: Logged = Not too worried about this one as my mate's D2 shows the same on my scanner. 3. Can error fault =...

    Strange Traction Control behaviour

    I recently carried out the SVS pack rewiring fix to address the 3 amigos. This is the third disco that I've done this repair on (the other two are still working perfectly) and the amigos have indeed gone. The TC/ABS/HD lights come on with the ignition and go off when the engine starts, just as...

    Td5 - Plastic connector on fuel line to fuel regulator

    Does anyone know if you can buy this connector without replacing the entire fuel line that runs to the pressure regulator from just in front of the rear axle? This one snapped while I was replacing the fuel tank pipe assembly (glued back together for the photos). It is 8mm both ends and there's...

    Td5 GS - Strange Spec??

    I seem to have a strange spec on the Td5 GS 7 seater I just bought. It's a 2000 W plate and hasn't got aircon but does have ACE. I thought ACE was only available on higher spec models? I bought the car from Roger's of Bedford and just wanted to say what a great company to deal with.

    I'm back

    Well that didn't last long. Sold my 300 Tdi just over a month ago and bought a Freelander Td4 for economy/fuel bill reasons. I was reasonably happy with it apart from it causing my first breakdown/recovery in 21 years of driving! Anyway, called in at Rogers in Bedford just out of interest last...

    My Disco now on ebay

    Well I've done it now. I'll probably regret this very soon, but I've paid a deposit on a pretend Land Rover so the Disco is on ebay: 1997 Land Rover Discovery 300 Tdi S - (6 seater not 7!) on eBay, also, Land Rover Range Rover, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 17-Feb-08 13:14:08 GMT)

    '97 300Tdi..... what's it worth?

    OK, no point in asking if it's a good idea. I'm considering selling the Disco and buying a Gaylander Td4, mainly for economy reasons as it's costing me a fortune in fuel to do the miles I do in the old 300Tdi (10k already since last June). If I ask here I'll be told no, if I ask on the...

    Series II headlamps onto a 300 Tdi

    I need to replace both headlamps on my 300Tdi as one is cracked and both have water sloshing around inside them. I'm pretty sure pre-facelift series II headlamps will fit straight onto a 300Tdi (I've seen a series II with a series I lamp fitted on one side!?) My question is does anyone know if...

    Gear stick not centralising...

    On my 300 Tdi I've had a few occassions where I've had trouble finding 3rd and 4th gear, usually ending up going from 3rd to 2nd instead of 4th. I've noticed that the gearstick does not centralise properly and when in neutral is over to the left. This is obviously the reason for the troubles...

    Is it rare?

    I've had my R plate 3 door Disco for about 3 months now (after having to sell my mint Y plate Td5 to finance a house :( ) . Since buying it I haven't seen another late 3 door on the road. Is it that rare?

    Backward step!

    Just 'downgraded' from my black '01 TD5 Adventurer to a basic '97 Tdi 3 door. Now I can sleep at night again without worrying what will go wrong tomorrow and how much it will cost to put right! I wish I'd kept my '96 XS :(

    Alloys on Disco 2

    OK, I'm sure this is covered somewhere but I'm too lazy too search any more. I would like to stick some 18" Hurricanes on my '01 TD5. Am I right in thinking that Disco 2 wheels are the same fitment as a P38 Range Rover? Can you put P38 wheels straight onto a series 2 Disco? Cheers Mike

    Finally upgraded to a TD5!

    Well after months of debating I have finally taken the plunge. Sold my trusty 130k mile '96 300Tdi XS on eBay last week and after scouring the on-line ads managed to find myself a very tidy 2001 TD5 Adventurer in black (this'll be fun to keep clean!). 300Tdi to a TD5 - talk about chalk and cheese!

    In case you were wondering....... this is what happens if you decide to drive an Astravan into the back of a stationary Disco...... grrrrrrr

    Dilema: Keep or swap?

    What's to do.... I have my '96 Tdi XS and have seen a rather nice '00 Td5 Millenium Edition for sale. I'm very tempted to change, but what is the common opinion here? Is the Td5 a better car or is the seemingly more rugged and simple 300 Tdi the one to keep..... Decisions, decision! :rolleyes:

    Hello

    Hi, another new member. My username tells you who I am! :rolleyes: Bought my 1st Disco (1st 4x4 too) back in January and I'm loving it. I love the driving position and the way other road users 'give way'. The only thing I had trouble getting used to is the 'relaxed' pace of my 300TDi XS...
