    Discovery 2, Changing the door lock actuators

    Unlike the Disco 1, with the D2 you cannot just change the springs for pocket money. You need to shell out £70 odd quid a side for a whole door lock mechanisim to replace them! I lived with the drivers door not unlocking with the fob for a year or so, but when the passenger door gave up that...

    My Disco TD5 engine just simply stopped the other day, as if someone just whipped round the keys while I was going along... no splutter no loss of power, just a dead stop with no warning lights 30mph on the dot, lift off the throttle for a roundabout and steering goes heavy and brakes dont...
