Oh and another thing, an excellent tool for refilling the gearbox is a 5 litre weed killer spray bottle ebay £9.99. Just remove the spray nozzle a few pumps and your good to go.

Fitted new pipe, refilled gearbox with oil and all is well! Running like a dream, even managed a few overtakes lol! The plan is to run a few hundred miles then drain the box, change the filter then refill. I did encounter a few problems along the way though! Firstly I hadn't attached the...

Spot on with that diagnosis Biglad !! That's exactly what's happened, some how the top cooler pipe had came loose, it was only on finger tight, so i can only guess how it managed to loosen itself off. It was a right bugger to get to also. I think I would have struggled getting a spanner on...

Howdy troops. Surprise surprise the snow arrives and the disco dies on me again, every time it snows it breaks down with one problem or another, every year. This time the auto gearbox on my 53 plate Td 5 failed, has been leaking oil occasionally, usually I top up with a litre or so and it does...

Why is it that every time I bump into a BMW X5 on the road the ####er wants to race me? What's that all about? I've owned a few BM's over the years, I've raced a few cars at the lights in the BM's, mostly other sports cars but c'mon an old discovery 2 ? Again what's that all about? Anyone else...

I take it it's an auto gearbox? Have you any leaks around the box, you could be low on oil? Cheers.

Aye you would be better to get it on a diagnostic test then go from there, around 50 quid but well worth it. They are frustrating when the break but it's all part of the course with Landy ownership. It should be a simple fix and your motor will be running perfect again soon.

Double check the Hill Descent button hasn't been pressed accidentally.

Cheers James i will disconnect that top oil cooler pipe then reattach with a bit of ptfe tape, that may sound a bit rough but would do the trick, I will see if it makes a difference, is there an o-ring at the seat here??? When you say drop down the box, is it only a case of removing the prop &...

Disco 2 TD5 Auto 53 plate 100k miles I have an oil leak coming from the gearbox /transmission area. I put in some Wynns stop leak about 1 year ago and i have had no problems since up until now. The leak seems to be coming from the top of the box, roughly the area where the oil cooler pipe is...

Sounds like your gearbox oil is low if its an auto, have you got any oil leaks there?

Dirty b@st@rd's, hope the law catches the filthy beggars!

I'ts a great part of the forum the stolen section. I'm continually browsing for landrover parts for my disco 2 on the auction sites every weekend so it gives me a good chance to look for the stolen items posted on here too, thought I was lucky with that spot there?? Cheers

I use a small pry bar, using the the handle end which is tapered and rounded at the tip. Come in at a 45 degree angle from the right hand side with the tip just under the collar of the injector, rest the bar on the cylinder head at the nearest point, the gentlilest tap with a hammer will pop it...

Check out Gumtree mate (1016632532) located in Glasgow, look exact same as yours and the price is cheap as chips, defo worth a look!! Are you sure of the tyre size? on a second look noticed tyres are different size, maybe i'm wrong.

Cheers guys Ctrl + did the job. I can recon a td5 but computers are a no-no.

When i stripped my sunroof motor out it was **** full of rust, totally seized! I stripped it down which is a very simple job, 2 screws i think, then removed copper coil from casing, degreased it then lubricated it with plenty of wd 40 then reassembled. On reassembly I covered the whole casing...
