Hi guys My my04 Disco 2 is missing a CD changer. The wiring loom is under the seat. Gaving trawled the web there seem to be a couple of possible Alpine model numbers which might be compatible. Any idea how I can find out the original model number that was fitted? Thanks as always Stu

Hi guys I'm looking to install a new door card on the tailgate (D2 MY04), including a drop-down shelf for cooking etc. I've seen door cards and shelves as separate items, but I'd really like to minimize any mods or grinding (partly because I'm running out of time before we leave for an...

Hi guys About fity percent of the time, when I put it into reverse, my Disco 2 TD5 (my04) gives a constant beep instead of intermittent beeps. Sometimes putting the car into reverse a second time clears the problem, sometimes it doesn't. I've cleaned the sensors but that's made no difference...

Hi guys I'm taking my Disco 2 TD5 on a group tour to the Pyranees fairly soon. I'm the second owner and the mileage is about 105k. I'm after some guidance as to what spares I should take with me. Also, the car is going in for a full service and health check next week (independent LR...

Hi guys MY04 Disco2 TD5... I've noticed a small hole (about 5mm across) on the underside of my fuel tank. There's no leakage as it hasn't penetrated the inner skin. I'm not sure whether the outer skin is a removable/replaceable cover or whether it's part of the actual tank. Do you...

Hi guys MY04 Disco2 TD5... When I am releasing the clutch pedal, particularly in reverse, I can hear a squealing sound. The sound changes slightly depending on the pedal position. No sound when clutch pedal is fully depressed or released - only when it's part way. Is this going to be...

Hi guys Getting started with my +2in lift, keeping the SLS air springs. Has anyone used the Britpart spacers? I'm happy to go to Toddco in the US to get "better" ones, but there's no point going to the extra expense and delay if the Britpart ones are OK. Latest Products - Britpart - The...

Hi guys I'm looking at putting a 2in lift on my D2, keeping the SLS air springs. I do some greenlaning, and I think I can justify going for taller tyres than I have now but that obviously means lifting the suspension. I'm a bit new to all this and I need some guidance as to whether I might be...

Hi guys Disco 2 question... My keyfob unlocks the drivers door only, meaning that I have to lean across to the dash mounted lock/unlock switch to open the other doors or boot. Is there any way of programming it so that the keyfob unlocks all doors? Thanks as always. Stu

Hi guys About to do my first oil change in my Disco 2 TD5. (My first oil change on any car ever, in fact). I've been through the posts on here, and the consensus seems to be that I can use 5w30 semi-synthetic as long as I change it every 6000 miles. Assuming that's correct, is it worth...

Hi guys About to get kitted up to do some basic (noobie) maintenance on my Disco 2 TD5. So... Socket set: hex or bi hex? 1/2in drive or 3/8? Shallow or deep sockets? Torque wrench: obviously a £15 tool is not going be as accurate / long-lasting as Snapon / Facom product. Any suggestions for...

Hi guys So I finally bought my first Land Rover, a lovely Discovery 2. She's in pretty good nick and I'm very grateful for the generous advice that I received on this forum. I've only had her for 36 hours and I'm already referring to her as "her/she", rather that "it". I've never done that...

Hi guys I know there's a sticky thread about Disco tyres but the link that it contains no longer works: http://members.shaw.ca/jbarge/tires.html Dos anyone have a current list of which tyre sizes will fit a D2 without modification? Thanks as always. Stu

Hi guys I've checked out the old posts on this subject and most of them suggest that the OP does the WaxOyl work themselves. I don't really want to do that - I'm buying a D2 in pretty good nick, and whilst I'm happy to start doing basic mechanical work, I'd prefer to pay someone with the...

Hi guys Got my eye on a D2 but haven't seen it yet as it's miles away. The dealer says there's no diff lock on it because it has traction control instead. I know that Land Rover changed this during the production run of the D2, but I thought they put diff lock back in on the later models...

Hi guys The dealer I'm buying my D2 from has offered to WaxOyl the chassis. I'm thinking it might be more sensible for him to leave it alone so I can get it before'n'aftered after I've bought it and know it's been done thoroughly. What do you think? I guess a cheap, local waxoyl job might not...

Hi guys I have my eye on a D2, but it's a good distance away from me so I got somebody local to look it over before I make a trip myself. They report a judder at 50mph. Is this just a wheel balance problem or might it be something more serious/expensive? Thanks as always. stu

Hi guys I'm about to buy a Disco 2 (2004, 100k miles) and need a bit of expert guidance... From what I've read it seems that two things to watch for are the air suspension and chassis rust. So... 1) when I check the car out, how quickly should the air suspension rise if everything is good...

Hey guys Currently a Land Rover virgin, but about to buy a 2004 Disco. Looking to do some greenlaning, off-roading and trips to France and Spain. I am going to post some questions in the Disco section before I part with my cash. Looking forward to getting in too deep for my own good, whether...
