    Watts linkage bushes replacement

    I've completely failed to get the watts linkage off my Discovery 2. The left side bolt/nut, near the exhaust isn't moving. I've tried cleaning the nut , lubing it and heat but no luck. I've combined too large spanners together for extra leverage but it still isn't moving. I also tried the...

    Starter not working repair

    Recently the starter motor has just been clicking and not starting consistently on my Discovery 2 td5. I bought a repair kit off Ebay for £11-13. Which had a new plunger and contacts. I took the lazy approach. I just replaced the plunger, and cleaned the contacts with a fibre pen, with the...

    Strange knocking noise when my disco 2 rocks?

    We have a 2002/3 Discovery 2. When the car rocks left to right, for example going over a kerb or very pot holed road, it makes a strange knocking noise from the rear. Normally happens at slow speed and there is no noise when travel at speed if we have a speed bump. IE just a vertical...

    Bleeding brakes on Discovery 2

    I foolishly decided to bleed the brakes on my Discovery 2 on Sunday (as they were getting soft). I followed the Haynes Manual. I had a helper pump the brake a couple of times, then hold it down as I released the bleed nut and let air/fluid come out. I repeated until no more air/bubbles came out...

    Rear Right Passenger Door will not open

    The rear right passenger door will not open (from the inside). I took off the door panel. The hook, at the end of the cable between the handle and latch, that attached to the latch has come loose. The hook is medal and inserts into a hole in a plastic attachment, on the inside of the handle...

    Play in the rear prop from transferbox

    I topped up the oil in the diffs and transfer box on the weekend. While under there I checked for play in the transfer box and there was 1-2 degrees (not much at all) at the rear of the box. While none at all at the front. I decided this was ok since the car was running nicely and smoothing...

    Discover 2 lug nuts without covers?

    I decided to try replace the brake pads on my cars but failed to get the wheels off. Some of the lug nut covers had expanded and I couldn't fit on the 27mm socket. My set doesn't have a 28mm so I was stuck. I've tried search online for some replacement nuts which don't have covers but they...

    Gearbox Oil

    I have a 2002 Disco 2 td5. I changed my gearbox oil about 10k ago to MTF94. There was quite a bit of fur on the plug magnetic but since I don't know how long it had been since the oil was changed so I thought I would reserve judgement until the next oil change. After the oil change it was...

    Tool for transfer box oil filler?

    I tried to check the transfer box oil level on my recently bought disco 2 but the handbrake cable is even more in the way than on my defender. Well actually I assigned my 19 year old son to do this after he checked the front and rear diff oil levels while I was doing something on another car...

    3 Amigos Lights

    Just got a Discovery 2 and the 3 Amigos lights have started to come on. The chap that sold it is happy to take back and fix the issue. I understand that the abs sensors going is a common problem on these. The problem we taking it back is that it's a 90 mins drive with 2 cars needed to do. I...

    Correct bolt for the alternator on 300tdi?

    I've lost the bottom bolt that holds the alternator in place on my 300tdi 110 Defender. So the altnative is just swinging. I did measured the length and thought I needed a 150mm long bolt but did a google and saw someone suggesting that it's 130mm x M8. Does another know what length bolt I...

    Transfer Box Puma onto a 300tdi?

    The transfer box has gone on my 1996 300 tdi 110. I've been quoted £600 + vat by the garage. Must be cheaper. Where can I get reconditioned ones? Someone has a Puma from a 2002 will that bolt straight into a 300tdi?

    Oil Leak and Ticking noise

    1) We have a slow oil leak from our tdi 300 which only appears to happen after we have run the engine. It's dipping onto the cross bars below the engine but it's not clear where it's coming from? Where are the obvious places to check? I will post some photos when I get home but can't from...
