Evening all, A few years back I bought a tracking device off FleaBay and lo and behold just this week got round to fitting it. Nice bit of kit which will tell me where the car is when I ring it. It also has a feed via a relay so I can cut the power to something which will stop the car. The...

Had my Disco for about 5 years now and the off-side front wheel bearing has been an advisory on 4 out of the last 5 years. Been carrying round a spare for about a year and been to Morocco last year and this year the mountains of northern Portugal for about 2500 miles. 30 miles from home the 3...

Just ordered a GPS / GPRS tracking system for my Disco. It will tell me by SMS when it moves, where it is etc. One of the features is an output which can be switched by a phone call to the device. My first question is, is it safe to cut power to the fuel pump when the vehicle is moving. This is...

Hi all. Recently returned from Morocco after towing my camping trailer 3500 miles on and off-road. I'm pretty sure I've broken the gearbox but would like some confirmation if possible. After a day running around in low box off-road gear selection was stiff in all gears in high box when I...

Hi all, Got an interesting issue with my 2000MY TD5 at present. Pulled onto a Morrison's forecourt to fill up and while waiting in the queue to get on the pumps I switched the engine off. When trying to start again....nothing. All lights on but no fuel pump running, no relays clicking...

Hi all, I've been watching with interest the discussions about chipping your TD5's. I was probably going to go down the Dynachip road due your combined good experiences until I was browsing EBay for no particular reason and came upon a Steinbauer P-Box chip that I couldn't resist for the...

Hi All, Has anyone out there in Landy Zone Land put a NATO hitch on a Disco 2 without changing the rear bumper? Any advice / pictures would be appreciated. Secondly are Sankey trailer standard pattern wheel studs compatable with Disco 2 wheels? Thanking you all in anticipation Regards

I went out in the snow before Christmas in Derbyshire in my X-reg TD5 manual Disco and slid on ice into a drystone wall very gently. I'm now over the embarrassment and feel I can tell you about it and having fixed the damage with about £60 worth of parts need to know something. I was...

Hi all, Recently bought a DII TD5 (2000) after many years of LR's, last one a 90. First thing I bought was a NANOCOM. Got mine off the internet you don't have to pay £230. Nanocom gives so much information that first I was swamped. Slowly looking at all forums both here and abroad I started...

hi all Thought it was too good to be true. Been driving my new (2000MY D2 TD5) motor now for a few weeks. Getting no faults from the Nanocom and everything seeming to be OK until... Looking underneath the front noticed a leak had splattered the front just along the under engine tray. It is...

Hi all, Just moved over from the Defender forum as my defender was stolen and I couldn't face trying to recreate the same so I've gone and bought myself a Discovery 2 TD5 ES (2000MY). I've read loads of stuff on here and elsewhere about what to look out for and think I've bought a good 'un...

My red 90 was stolen on the night of the 14/8 from within my rear yard in Sheffield near the city centre. If anyone is offered this vehicle E724NSE please let me know. Obvious parts are: a 19J engine fitted with an Allard Intercooler with blue silcon pipework A Maggiolina Safari roof...

Just treated myself to a fiver's worth of thermometer off eBay which can show internal and external temperatures. My question is with the 10 foot of cable available where do I place the external sensor so it gives a reasonably accurate reading. I don't want to measure the temperature of the...

My 1988 2.5TD 90 just passed its MOT yesterday with no work needing to be done. I'm just so cock'o'hoop I've got to let you know that there can be Landy life without pain. (I won't go into the years of pain its taken to get here though.) Keep those spanners busy.

My 2.5TD 90 started to judder on putting on the power at 35 - 40 mph. After having a good look around underneath I found that the front propshaft could be turned about a quarter turn when stood still while the rear prop was rock solid. I assume that the rear prop was acting correctly and its the...
