Been trying to find out status of a refund on a failed part for several weeks (and they've had the returned part for nigh-on 2 months now), but it's like nobody is home - phone rings and rings, no reply to emails. Anyone else having "problems"? Surprised because I've ordered plenty from Island...

Looking for a Nanocom for Disco TD5, please PM/DM me if you're looking to sell

New-fangled child seat requires both isofix (already got) and top-tether (which, in case it was news to you too, is basically: a strap like a seat belt which is supposed to pass over the top of the built-in seat - under the headrest I spose - down the back of same seat and hook onto a sturdy...

Had the sump off last summer to do the oil pump bolt, found a small piece of beige plastic which would seem to indicate that the timing chain guides are starting to break up. So ideally, I'd like to replace them. Q: what's the minimum amount of dismantling needed to do the job? Does the crank...

Having changed the cooling fan motor earlier in the year, I wanted to see if it was possible to prevent the new one from rusting up like the old one by giving the fan a little bit of "on" time on a regular basis. Someone on here mentioned that some owners just add an override button, but being...

...but now doesn't. Now cranks endlessly on the first try, but starts first time on the second. Not noticed any spluttering or smoke or other ill-effects. Just started happening. Likely to be fuel-related?

Door mirror got whacked, mirror glass popped out and motor pack stopped adjusting left-right. Didn't fancy beaker prices for an entire mirror assembly, and doesn't seem like the D2 motor packs are sold as a separate item, but whilst googling about I noticed this Mondeo/Galaxy/Vectra motor pack...

Mine being seized (which seems to be the norm) and interested in getting better a/c oomph at low speeds and high ext temps, interested in thoughts on replacement. Q1: seem to be two variants of the part - JRP100060 and JRP100000 - what's the difference? Q2: neither is cheap, any testimonials...

Getting parts together to change FPR next week, but going rate for MAE100010 seems to be (drum roll) 60 to 70 squids Thinking I'll just clean up and re-use the existing one, any reason that's a bad idea? (And 60/70 squid - what the.. ?)

Does anyone sell repair sections, or do I just bite the bullet and get a whole new wing? Bit at the bottom next to driver's door is bubblin "nicely"...

Mating face has warped on mine, leaks from joint with turbo even with fresh gasket

Newish rad, brand new genuine top hose... *still* leaking from the joint, but only on the 10th or so journey and 500 or so miles since changing the hose, and seemingly only once the engine has cooled after a run. Looks like a few teaspoons worth, judging by the size of the drip mark on the...

For the first time in 50k miles and 4 years, just done 1000 miles without needing a coolant top-up. It took... - new water pump - 3 new top hoses (first 2 were aftermarket dross) - new o-rings on fuel cooler - rtv down the rad cowling screw holes - cylinder head core plug replace - then a new...

PAS pipes are looking horribly corroded, but like-for-like replacement seems like a proper arse-ache - talking around 150 squids for the pipe set, and probably a day's worth of dismantling and refitting to access the pipe run (which is buried under the rad pack). I saw an interesting...

Trying to get my disco TD5 centre box delete notified to Churchill, they say they need to know a number for the change in BHP ("let's assume it's more" is not specific enough for them) 1. WTF? 2. Anyone know the answer? It's an otherwise bog standard 10P engine, auto box

Well I just fitted my 4th hose in 2 years No 1 came with the disco, and wept slightly from the bleed screw hence... I fitted no 2, a Britpart hose. The reinforcement failed after ~ 1 yr and it inflated like a balloon, hence... I fitted no 3, an OEM hose. This one was OK until I tried to bleed...

Bored 5 minutes at work and bumped into this whilst reliving cherished comedy moments on youtube: The Smell Of Reeves & Mortimer - Country File - YouTube Think it's a D2, but video compression is too awful to be sure. I fondly imagine that like any respectable D2, it got revenge the next...

I replaced me front ARB links a few weeks back, and thought I'd try some super-cheap ones off eBay for s**ts and giggles, these ones: Land Rover Discovery Mk2 Front Left or Right Drop Link | eBay Trouble was, I couldn't get the axle-end nuts up to 100Nm before the threads stripped, so I...

Had a bituvva mishap with the tailgate a few weeks ago which resulted in the bottom hinge bending inwards, causing the handle/latch side of the tailgate to kick upwards by 5 to 10 mm and thus miss the striker when closing. I was on holiday at the time (sloping car park at St. Ives was the...

Front wiper played up over the weekend (not parking itself on intermittent or flick) so thought I'd pull up the circuit diagram in RAVE and mug up before I tried any fault-finding (disco is 51 plate TD5). To the chase: there's a diode G126 in the circuit diagram which seems to connect the park...
