My aircon stopped working a few months ago. It has a leak in the condensor which I was planning to get fixed sometime soon..................however.................since it stopped working I had been feeling, during the recent hot spells, that however you set the heating controls it seemed like...

With regard to Aylmers, I have used them regularly for the past 4 or 5 years. They really do know their Land Rover stuff. What I really like about them is that they never do anything until they are sure that they have diagnosed correctly as far as is possible and in my experience they have...

I just had my 1999 Disco TD5 treated by Rustmaster in Hatfield for £470 (special April offer) They steam clean underside, then dry and then spray all over with Waxoyl. The rear section of the chassis had quite a bit of surface rust, though no holes yet. Everything else looked pretty good...

I don't have an answer I'm afraid, but mine (1999 TD5) does exactly the same thing. Just occasionally....maybe only 2 or 3 times a year.......I get water dripping from the sunroof winder or emerging from the drivers side seatbelt. The only think it may be connected to how it is parked during...

Hi DougR Have been interested in your post. What sort of cleaning was involved? Was it just a steam clean, or did they go further than that ie wire brush or whatever? The chassis of my TD5 is (I think!!) still reasonably sound, but there is quite a lot of surface rust and I have been...

My 1999 Disco 2 TD5 is up to 207k now Engine is pretty good with no major issues and still on original head gasket!!!........it's everything else that is a bit of a worry!!!

A few months ago, I disposed of about 20 litres of new/unused but surplus engine oil I had by tipping it in the tank of my TD5. I only ever put a maximum of about 5 litres at a time with say 3/4 tank of derv till it was all used up. There was no noticeable difference in running, but some...

Doh!! Good point well made!! Anyway.......here is an update, which I guess all goes to show that it is possible add 2 + 2 and make 3!! Landy specialist didn't really believe that it was a turbo problem. Has fixed the oil leak coming from the camshaft seal, changed fuel filter, added...

Well the "old lady" is in with the LR specialist at the moment as it is a bit beyond my capabilities and their diagnosis of problems has always been 100% At present they don't seem to feel it is turbo seals (though that is not ruled out) and are checking other cheaper avenues first starting...

Hmmmm......well I think I would say grey........it's definitely not black or white anyway!! It smells quite strong

Just to add a bit of additional info to previous post. The engine seems to start/stop/run all as normal with no noticable power loss or change in noise The oil looks normal. Not water or fuel contaminated....just the level has dropped. Coolant level does drop very slightly over a few months...

This has got me scratching my head a bit, so would welcome any comments or observations regarding my 1999 TD5 Disco 2 with 203k miles I noticed about a week ago that it was smoking rather a bit. This is not in the manner of a real smokescreen but when stationary you can see and smell smoke...

I had just the same symptoms. The garage fitted a new starter motor and all was fine, but I suspect that there will be some who say you can repair the existing starter by replacing the brushes

I don't know anything about D4's but I spotted this DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - Blue smoke under acceleration - turbos to be replaced when I was nosing around the other day.........you may already be aware, but just in case..........

OK thanks for the response guys. I will push on and get some replacements

Hi Guys The key fobs on both my keys are starting to break up, particularly around the lock/unlock buttons I have found these LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 2 TD5 KEY FOB REMOTE CASE | eBay on ebay Has anyone used these before?? Are they any good and are there any problems?? Seems to me that all I...

202,000 miles in my 1999 TD5 auto still on original engine (and head gasket!!!!) and still going strong, though I have been through all the other usual "disco issues" over the past few years

The steering on my TD5 seemed to get progressively worse over about 12 months. Hard to steer in a straight line. A nightmare on the "motorway" tramlines. Generally felt horrible, like there was a load of "play" in the steering. I kept reporting it to the garage whenever it was in for service...

Everyone seems to speak very highly of the remapping done by Dynachip Has anyone got any knowledge or views on whether it is a wise thing to do on a high mileage vehicle?? My 1999 TD5 is coming up for 200k miles. Generally well maintained and running ok, but seems pretty gutless......can't...
