Here's an odd one... Yesterday went through a 1ft deep 20 yard long flooded section of road. Came out other side with engine misfiring, belt squealing and trailing a cloud of blue smoke. After 10 seconds everything back to normal. Suggestions invited - other than avoid flooded roads which...

Hi Disco 2 - 180k miles. I had a problem starting, with fuel pump making strange burbling noise. After starting it ran fine. Mechanic diagnosed 'knackered' pump which was replaced. Within a couple of weeks the starting problem returned - plus a new one, engine cutting out after 5 miles, and 2/3...

Over the years I have had frequent visits from the 'Three Amigos'. Usually the computer say ' 134 Shuttle Valve Electrical failure'. We have replaced the ABS Modulator (once) and the shuttle valves (twice). They are back again BUT I have noticed something odd. When I first start the car the...

TD5 - New LR part water pump fitted in October as part of an engine replacement. Within a month I was losing coolant at the rate of a litre every few days! No water or staining was visible anywhere. Garage checked (pressure tests etc.) and said no sign of head gasket or other problems but...

I have recently had to replace a TD5 engine in a Disco 2 due the extensive damage caused to the head, piston, con rod etc. - by ONE broken valve spring. Engine had done 160k miles. Are broken valve springs a common fault? Is there anything you can do to prevent or anticipate a broken spring...

:mad: A cautionary tale... On Saturday 1 Sept, Disco 2 started misfiring & smoking, then stopped near Beziers (S France). Towed by AA Europe Breakdown (who are also LR Assistance) to local Land Rover main dealer - branches across S France. Monday 3 Sept: AA told 'we'll look at it Wednesday'...

HELP :confused: TD5 with no 'previous' began to misfire (as if running on four instead of five cylinders), some smoke - blue/grey - then the car started to go slower and slower. I stopped, went into neutral, revd engine -misfire/smoke then 'rattling' sound and engine died. Could not be...

Hi folks Down 'ere in darkest Kent, we've just had a hail-storm (at end of July!!!) and the hailstones set off the alarm on the Disco :eek:. Is bad-weather sensitivity an unlisted design feature; yet another, 'Land Rover thing' or (heaven forfend) a fault? :confused:

I've been supplied by a 4x4 breakers with a door latch for my Disco 2. But it don't fit. To aid my 'discussion :fighting2:with aforementioned' can anyone out there identify what door latch CWC 000101 is off. I've trawled through various parts websites and the only one I can find which which...

SLS doesn't appear to be working - suspension doesn't go up when you start or down when you switch off. The off road 'riser' makes no difference (light comes on, bell gongs but zilch). SLS warning light goes off ok on startup. Had a compressor go couple of years back and the suspension went...

Hi guys I had the notorious three amigos a couple of years back (ABS, Traction Control and Hill Descent warning lights), which would come on at random and could usually be shut off by restarting the engine. The computer say '134 shuttle relay electrical fault' and on the garage's advice we...

Disco Mk 2. Alarm system. I can lock and arm successfully by turning key in driver side lock but if I arm the system by pressing the fob button the alarm goes off within half a minute. I assume its something to do with the air movement sensor system as that's the only thing not armed by using...

Three amigos coming on from time to time. Computer say '134 shuttle valve switch electrical fault'. Any thoughts? Bryan H

Hi guys Disco 2 TD5 Automatic - 1999 129k miles. :confused: Getting vibration from 'down below' when under load (accelerating or going uphill) in fourth gear between 60 and 70mph. Kick down to third it disappears, take foot off gas it disappears, drive through it to over 70 it disappears...

Frequently (but not every time) when I park for more than an hour or so , the body on the off side rear corner lowers itself, presumably to minimum. The self-levelling system warning light doesn't light up. Start the car and it levels itself within seconds. The 'off-road' raised suspension also...

Getting a squeal from the turbocharger on initial acceleration. Not gaskets (checked), mechanic says thinks turbo 'fan' bearing. Anybody any experience of this? Does it mean a new turbocharger?
