    Lights - or not ...

    I'm currently on the hunt for a decent LR322 but obviously want to spend as little as possible. I've found a nice tidy one in my price range so far but it's not without issues. The headlights won't work, hazards only sometimes and tail lights are always on - this one interests me since a...

    Assessing options pre vehicle change

    I am considering getting something TD6 and am curious to know how different the power delivery of the TD6 unit is and whether I'm wasting my time considering it. I'd like the answers to come from experience not the BS of motoring press review sites I'm only upgrading because even with the work...

    Injector Seals - Preventative?

    So my beastie seems to use no oil - but I'm sure it must since it has 128k on it - but the oil doesn't smell of diesel - but the level hasn't dropped at all in 2000 miles. Could this be regarded as good - I'm a little paranoid perhaps but am considering replacing the injector seals as a 'just...

    Cables from Engine bay to Cabin.

    Anyone got an easy way to get cables from under the bonnet to inside the cabin, I currently have an EGT and Boost Pressure sensor cable that I need to relocate (currently they come under the A 'Panel' trim and over the door seal). I'd like to put them away properly but every time I get to...

    Odd but loud noise on overrun.

    Manual TD5 with Turbo Technics VGT and Allard intercooler, De-Cat'd and De-EGR'd. I have what sounds like turbo whistle but it only occurs on overrun and only when facing down hill and it gets loud, starts like a normal turbo whistle and gets louder for a time the longer you are in overrun (it...

    'Pusher' Tow bar Facelift Disco 2

    Before I push the button on buying a new one from Watling anyone have a 'pusher' tow bar (a towbar for the front.) for a facelift Disco 2 that they want to lose. See here >> Towbars, Front push tow bars, towing brackets specialists from Watling Engineers | Front Push Towbars

    Facelift Disco 2 Drivers Door Trim

    Looking for a good condition interior trim for the drivers door in black with the alcantara 'leather' insert. Must be in good condition - no holes or damage - a bit grubby I can deal with. Don't necessarily need all the parts just the larger part with the Alcantara insert. Just in case anyone...

    Undersealing - a concensus ?

    Just been trawling through the multitude of 'undersealing' threads - or should I say arguments and yet seem to have found no concensus as to which is the better method or material. I have got to be honest in my past I have both Waxoyled and oil sprayed. The Waxoyl a nasty horrid job and a...

    Injectors

    I am thinking about keeping 'spares' of the larger more expensive items that one would expect to 'fail' basically so that I can buy the parts when I find a good price versus when forced to buy what ever is available in an emergency. I therefore have some general TD5 injector questions that I...

    Front Bumper 'alignment'

    Noticed today that the front bumper isn't square to the rest of the car. The passenger side is approx 30mm further back that the drivers side, this only came to my attention as I was replacing the Grille - one side fitted easy the other side not so easy. Looking at the wheel arch the drivers...

    Hawkeye Users

    Are there any ?? Can anyone hazard a guess why when viewing live data my Hawkeye unit says 'Low' for the gearbox ratios when it is in fact high. I moved between low and high and the switch is functioning but the units on the Hawkeye seem reversed. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of...

    Acceleration ...

    This is pretty hard to explain but getting the car moving from stationary is driving me crazy. If you let the clutch up slow enough the car will start moving pretty much anywhere with no application of throttle at all, if you try involving the throttle whilst releasing the clutch it really...

    Oil Cooler - not plumbed.

    Anyone here know why an oil cooler on a 15P engine wouldn't be 'plumbed' into the cooling system. Just noticed on RAVE that the pipe that goes from the oil cooler around the back of the engine and from there to a port on the radiator vie a rubber hose is missing. The outlet from the oil cooler...

    Tea Leaves an assorted thievin' pikey's

    Has anyone ever done a risk list as in which Landrover models are most likely to be boosted or targetted? It seems that they prefer Defenders over Disco's, 90's over 110's and Disco 1's over 2's with the older series landy's being very high on the list. Been browsing E-Bay a lot and although...

    Runaways ...

    How common on TD5's there seems to be a conflict - some sites say common others say not. I ask because of the configuration and the habit the TD5 seems to have of filling the sump with diesel. Although I am under the impression that the later 2003 onward TD5's (of which mine is one) don't...

    Turbo Technics VGT Turbo - control of.

    Any one here have a Turbo Technics VGT turbo fitted? I have such an animal but no details of how the actuator needs to be plumbed, can't use the waste gate solenoid, can't use boost pressure itself - leastways not alone since this could result in surging. If you have one (or if you know how) I...

    Room for a 'small' one ..

    New here not new to the brand, long story (been in Landcruiser for 4 years, Range rovers before that - a V8 Classic and a damned awful bucket of problems otherwise known as a P38), time enough. Well now in a 2004 model Disco 2 TD5 ES and spending a fortune sorting out the mess the previous...
