    Disco 2 Propshaft rebuild

    I'm almost finished refurbishing my front prop. I have trawled the forums looking for an answer to my issue, but found others with same problem but no answers. The issue is, I have replaced the centre bearing inside the Hooke's (double cardan) joint and expected the bearing kit to contain a new...

    Other Opinions

    Now that the novelty of continuous maintenance and repair of my Discovery 2 is wearing thin, I am toying with the idea of a Disco 3 (or 4 if I can afford it). My instincts are telling me this might be a very stupid idea, since everyone I know who has a Disco 3, have had to open a vein to pay the...

    Disco 2 Steering

    So, having recently fitted a nice heavy winch bumper to the front of my 2000 Td5, maybe predictably, the steering now seems imprecise and wanders. I have General Grabber 255 65 16 AT2s on it too. My question is, what should I look at first in order to improve the steering as it really feels...

    Disco 2 CV Gaiter Replacement

    Is it a straightforward job to replace a CV boot, or is there anything I need to know before I start? :)

    Disco 2 ACE

    Just finished fitting replacement rear ACE pipes as they had corroded through (another common problem). What an absolute bastard of a job! No doubt on a lift in a well equipped garage, this is a fairly straightforward job, but on axle stands on a sloping driveway, I can tell you, it is not! Took...

    Disco 2 And now it's the Bonnet Hinges

    Well, clearly I no longer own a vehicle; I own a "Project"! The latest challenge is the bonnet hinges have come off - well, more accurately, the steel they were bolted to has rusted away. I knew I was going to have to get around to dealing with a hole that was visible in the baulkhead under the...

    Disco 2 Losing the will to live

    What ever did I do in a previous life, so bad that I suffer the despair of Landrover ownership? Fix a fault and bam, another one appears. So, having grappled with the difficulties of replacing a duff FPR, which came hot on the heels of a water pump failure and replacement, I discovered a puddle...

    Disco 2 FPR

    I think I may be reaching the limits of my patience with my Disco. :mad: Driving back home this morning and suddenly started to lose it on the most gentle of bends. Stopped to investigate what might be going on and lo and behold, diesel all over my rear wheels. :eek: The F#*%ing Fuel Pressure...

    Disco 2 coolant leak

    So I've replaced head gasket, thermostat, checked hoses, tightened everything and recently, replaced a wrecked water pump. Still I find that the coolant level gradually reduces with no obvious sign of a leak. Slow but annoying. One issue is the long pipe from expansion tank to top of radiator...

    Disco 2 Alarm

    The Alarm went off on my D2 this afternoon. It's been parked up for 3 days on my drive so no obvious reason for it to go off. I used key fob to unlock and re-lock and re-set alarm, however, every time I try to lock it, I get a single horn beep (fob or key). This usually signifies that a door is...

    Disco 2 Diff Lock

    Has anyone here reinstated their CDF by any means other than fitting a replacement lever kit? I'm toying with the idea of putting together a system of my own utilising either solenoids or, pneumatics. I rather fancy the Idea of a nice convenient diff lock switch. Any thoughts?

    Disco 2 2000 Td5 Aircon problem

    My Aircon has a problem, it's stopped blowing nice and cold. It had been on a long time in hot sunny weather for over 400 miles continuous driving. Anybody have advice on where I should start to work out what the problem is. Seemed to get a stream of visible gas/vapour (?) come through the...

    Brake lines corroded and burst

    Well, fortunately, my brake line has burst while still parked on my driveway. Could have been a bit dodgy on the motorway! Anyway, any advice or helpful tips before I order up new pipe, flare kit, etc. ? I'm a bit concerned how I get at the pipes on top of the chassis with my large hands. Do...

    SLS Again

    It really does test your patience this Land Rover ownership lark: bloody SLS has failed again! One bag pumped up full and the other isn't. I'll have a look tomorrow. Today is Sunday and I'm gonna chill - I said CHILL :5bbanghead:

    Red Connector

    So, do you think this might be causing problems? Having replaced the head gasket to fix coolant loss and overheating problem, motorway test run revealed power still down. I reckon MAF sensor a likely candidate for cleaning/replacement too.

    Parts Suppliers

    I would be very interested to know your views on the various parts suppliers for LR spares. as I'm about to order replacement head gasket, bolts etc., I'm particularly concerned that I choose the right supplier. I will be ordering on-line as I'm in the middle of nowhere (feels like it anyway)...

    Loosing Coolant

    Hi all. I've been trawling through all the threads I can find on this topic and think I have probably emptied the barrel of knowledge on it already, but, one more question: How does the heater effect coolant temperature? To expand a bit, I have spent all morning running my engine 10P Td5...

    Reliable Alternatives to Genuine LR Parts?

    Hi all, What is the consensus on using non original LR parts? Is there an OEM parts manufacturer/supplier to avoid? Since the price of genuine LR spare parts are so expensive, I can't be alone in wanting to use the available (less expensive) alternatives. However, is this false economy or are...

    My Chassis Repairs for MOT

    So, after the depression and anguish wondering what I was going to do having failed the MOT for rear end chassis rail rot close to the tow bar mounts, I decided to repair it. The sharp intake of breath at the garage and subsequent condemnation of my Disco made things desperate as I was clearly...
