Hi, I had the windscreen replaced on my D2 last weekend, just noticed that one of the front wiper grommets is missing from under the large washer under the wiper arm. I cant see this part on Microcat.. anyone got any ideas of a suitable replacement? I suspect its part of the wiper arm...

Hi, My 10p cylinder head on my TD5 needs replacing, will buy a new one from Turner Engineering along with fitting kit and new bolts etc. However, I've been thinking about replacing the 10p with the later 15p, it'll also need the later fuel regulator, but I'm not sure about the injectors...

After less than 200 miles on my Disco 2, all of it on road... Not so super.

Hi, A shock tower on my Disco 2 is suffering from some serious corrosion, so I ordered a new genuine Landrover one from Paddocks. It finally arrived today, however the square 'nut' on the top that accommodates the upper retaining bolt for the shock absorber appears to be unthreaded. I'm...

Hi, Trying to free off a brake pipe union that connects to a rear flexi pipe, the male nut is a strange size, its about 10.4mm, so a 10mm spanner wont fit, and an 11mm brake spanner is too sloppy. The nut is clean, very little corrosion at all, so its not shrunk due to rust erosion or...

Hi, Thought I'd do a proper job on the rear brakes on my Disco 2, new calipers, carriers, flexi pipe, bolts and dust shield. Soaked the 3 little retaining bolts used for the dust shield in loads of plusgas for an hour or so to penetrate through the rust. One bolt came out fine, the other 2...

Look at this photo of this new Britpart rear brake caliper for a Disco II, in particular the surface next to the threaded hole. I know that the copper crush washers are designed to fill in any slight imperfections once torqued-up, but surely these machining marks are too severe to risk me using...

Hi, Following a leak from one of my rear ACE pipes, I've started the joyous task of replacing them. In true Land Rover fashion I've had a load of trouble at step 1 - removal of the plate that secures the 2 pipes to the valve block (due to dissimilar metal reaction between the plate and block...

Hi, I get a hollow ringing sound from the gearbox area of my 1999 TD5, but only when the revs are between 2100rpm and 2200rpm, does it in neutral when stationary as well as on the move. Is there a common problem with these, such as exhaust heat shields coming loose, or handbrake drum loose...

Got a 1999 TD5, the heated windscreen isnt working, the switch lights up and goes out after about 5 minutes. The 30 amp fuse is ok, so next I need to check the relay output, does anyone know where abouts is located? Cheers, Chris

Went to look at another Discovery II today, this time an auto TD5. Seemed fine other than lots of condensation around the sunroofs, but its been stored for a while, carpets seemed dry enough. Oh and the performance was flatter than it should be, I suspect injector wiring loom issues or...

Saw what I thought was a tidy 1999 V8 Disco on ebay (X91 MGH), seller assured me that there were absolutly no coolant loss, cracked block/head gasket problems etc etc, seemed very genuine. Price was right with a respectable LPG conversion. Anyway, finally scraped the £4K cash together and went...
