Hey all, when changing the front mudflats on my Disco, (the brackets are rotten,) do I need to lift the front carpets?

Can anyone tell me if there is a kit available for the fancy little clips that hold on the front mud flaps to the plastic body trim. It seems I can buy them WITH the mudflats but I can't find a supplier of the clips?? Thanks

So. Having avoided the catastrophe of dropping coolant all over the road (it dropped it on my drive - how lucky was I) I changed the top hose. refilled etc and run up and its watertight. STEAM everywhere part 2 thread was because she would not move above "cool" on the temp gauge and I was...

Hi all after your words of wisdom last time guys I managed to get sufficient coolant back in to the system after my top hose went. Thanks to all that helped with advice and pictures etc. Only issue I have now is that the temperature gauge only just moves above the blue. Been for an 80 mile...

So after escaping overheating because the top hose let go ON THE DRIVE I decided to take the opportunity to flush system out. New hose fitted and system flushed out, According to Mr Haines, I should need 8 Ltrs to fill it back up. I got 5 litres in and ran it up. Cant get any more in Should...

Bought a "kit" from flea bay to add the dickie seats to my disco. all going well but don't know where this bit goes.... Any help at all would be appreciated....

Hi All I am in need of your expertise again... I am installing the third row seats to my 2001 Disco 2 I purchased a "Complete Kit" from Flea bay and all appears to be going well.. Only thing is, I have been supplied with a chunk of steel that I do not know where to fit. Bonkers I know -...

Advisories: Front off side track rod end - has play Front offside brake pipe - corroded - needs replacing Fuel Pipe - corroded - needs replacing Rear springs, require replacing - I knew that one ---- Various old leaks - the guy was not impressed when I told him that was SWEAT from a 13...

Hi All As if I don't have enough problems... NOW the temperature gauge plays silly buggers. Overheat warning light comes on but the needle drops right down to below cold. If you turn off and restart, sometimes it will clear. Definitely not overheating as does it from cold. I'm sure there...

Thanks to all who helped me identify that this odd cable hanging down is from the oil pressure switch. Can anyone offer a pointer as to where "physically this connects into the harness? Thanks

Hi all can any one point me in the right direction? Just spent a few hours under the bonnet with a tickover issue and noticed a "spare wire" flapping in the breeze. Traced it back to a sensor on the right hand side of the block (looking from the front) and located just next to the oil filter...

Hey, Thanks to all of the support on here I have ironed out one or two issues with my disco and I now find myself facing ONE MORE CHALLENGE... (till the MOT is due) I have purchased a kit to convert to 7 seats (dickie seats and all the plastics and headrests etc). The question is, Do I need to...

My much loved 2001 TD5 seems to think its ok to keep changing its tick over... Normally when warm (temp. gauge in the middle) she'll sit around 750 - 800 RPM but today for no reason while she was sitting idling it "bounced" up to about 1100rpm. She wasn't cold and I wasn't anywhere near the...

Oh joy, some little Scroat (Am I allowed to say that on here) has tried to nick my diesel. Now the fuel filler flap does just that - FLAPS - the button that pops out of the body work behind the filler flap is no longer present. just a small hole. Are these difficult to replace? The good old...

OK. So 51 plate discovery 2 TD5 who appears to have a mind of HER own. Starts every turn of the key which I am so pleased about however, on tick over she decides in her infinite wisdom to mess about with the speed at which she ticks over. Initially I would expect tick over to be about 1000...

Ok, so having taken the tip from a friend I put my 51 discovery in to a local garage to do the clutch and dual mass flywheel. Time and access just wouldn't allow me to do it myself. £630 later and the new clutch fitted, the gear shift feels like a bowl of porridge. Selection is ok however...

Hey all, So, just changed out a brake light bulb on my 2001 disco and found an unconnected plug on the wiring loom that s not connected to anything. Can anyone tell me what this is for??

Hi All Just stripped off the door card to see if I could identify why the window doesn't open on my 51 plate Series 2. Some greedy Metal Moth has eaten the "window guide". the mechanism moves up and down lovely but the guide itself is flapping around. I can not locate one on line any where...

Ok so I got my Disco II TD5 and I love it. Only niggle is that the clutch pedal drops about 3/4 of an inch before any pressure is felt. New clutch was fitted 20k ago according to the bills etc. Just wondered if this is an easy adjust before I go buy a Haines Manual...... Thanks

OK, So I got that bit out of the way, Can anyone help. I just bought my first Discovery, 2006 TD5 GS Chuffed to bits with it except..... Neither of the passenger doors open on the central locking OR the door open switch inside, I just took the door card of one and the actuator appears...
