Martin, Long shot but I had similar problem and it turned out to be leaking diesel from the green pipe leaving the fuel pump. What happened was overnight the fuel would slowly leak out of the pipe creating an air lock in the fuel lines. I changed the pipe, fairly easy job and the starting...

D'oh! I knew that was a big mistake..Ok, I washed some of the mud off the windsceen to see the road... I do struggle with this one, my wife spends 2 hours every day off road driving across fields to see to her horses so the LR really does see some mud. The problem is I don't have any...

I'd be so disapointed if I hadn't bought my Discovery 2. It's the first LR I've owned and when it's right it's brilliant! But boy, I'm glad I love playing with spanners. I've owned the disco since July, bought with no faults but developed quite a handful over the last six months. The...

Back to the thread, I'm hoping (fingers crossed) that I've fixed the problem.. My good lady informed me that she could smell diesel at the back of the car. Upon inspection I found the underside soaked in diesel, actually dripping off the tank. The filter area was bone dry so I ran off in panic...

Thanks guys, will do at the weekend and feed back..

My D2 TD5 developed starting issues in the cold weather. Apparently plenty of life in the battery, it would start straight away but cut out imediately, it was as if there was no fuel. If you cranked it on the key for approx' 6 seconds it would burst into life and be fine for the rest of the...

Guys, My D2 has just started doing the same thing today, it fires up after cranking for about 10 seconds. Can someone please summarise, what should I do first, start checking the fuel filter or replacing injector washers? Thanks for the help..

Thanks to all for the info' much appreciated :D

Thanks for the reply, is there any prefered make of tyre or is it simply down to price?

I've just ordered a set of 18" alloys for my Discovery 2. We use the car 80% road, the rest of the time in the field and towing a horse box. Can anyone recommend a suitable tyre for all round performance? Cheers :confused:

Be patient and keep looking. I got lucky, picked up a dirty 04 pursuit, two owners with 46,000mls for £6k. A full sevice (diy) and a bloody good clean and it came up like new..:D

Thanks guys for the detailed info'. I'll check it out as soon as I can get the car back of my missus!

Quick update, I haven't found the leak yet but I did get quickfit to try a recharge. To be fair to them they tried to fix it twice, failed but did give me a full refund. Good to know that they honored their guarantee.

Thanks anyway Del, appreciate the effort :)

Thanks Del, I'll look forward to it..

Think I've just answered my own question. I've just founf a kit on ebay to fit later RR wheels to a disco 2 including spigots and nuts. Just need to find a nice set of wheels and tyres now. Anyone got a set between 18 - 20 inch, like new for sale?

Thanks guys, by straight swap I meant do they have the same offset, stud pattern etc (must be a northern thing if you haven't come across that term) but hey ho I guess as long as we're talking LR we're talking the same language.... Where do I get spigot rings from, are they bespoke to a certain...

Guys, will alloy wheels from a Discovery 3 swap straight onto a Discovery 2 ? Cheers :confused:

Cheers Sierrafery that's great!
