I did it at ATS Euromaster, I saw they connect their hose to A/C pipe. They told me they can not check and fix it,

When I had my discovery td5 to be regassed for air conditioning in garage, they told me the A/C pipe pressure drops when they test the pipe. Does it mean there is pipe peak or something else is wrong? Where do I start? Thanks!

I observed if engine stops running, the oil begins to drip out. I guess oil pump suck oil up, once it stops running, oil flow down.

When I just changed the gearbox oil, I undid filler plug first to check if my pump pipe fits filler hole. A lots of oil came out, then I drained it from drain plug. I refilled as said in http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Autobox_Oil.html, I repeated twice, then drived 20m, refilled until 2mm of bead...

Has anyone used this?Comma AQ35L 5L AQ3 Automatic Transmission Fluid

I am looking for auto gearbox oil for my 2004 disco. auto ES. Comma always recommends mineral one Dexron II, the manual says Castrol TQ Dextron III, Castrol is expensive for me, I think fully or semi synthetic is better?. I have not changed gearbox oil since. Can anyone recommend one? Thanks! Kai

Thanks Jamesmartin, I made it. The adjuster is under the bracket. Please see pic. To adjust brake, undo the bracket and loose the cable on the lever to get the console out of

I found one in ebay like mine, there is bolt under round base, I can not find the bracket for sale, maybe undo the bracket to access the bolt...

I double checked it, the black rubber sits on fixed round base, there is no way to screw using a wench, a 13mm bolt may be fixing the bracket. I don't know if it is possible to adjust cable under car or maybe remove more under the console.

Thanks!, I pulled out the knob straight up, there is no adjuster (bolt) like D1, 2004 D2 may have different design.

If I can remove auto gear knob, I can get more space to access brake, I have not found info of how to remove it. brake level doesn't block plastic cover. I don't see e clip on the gear stick. See pics

I opened a gap from brake console, there is bolt not like brake adjuster, but a brake cable cross round black rubber see attached pic Still struggling to remove the console

Okay, I released handbrake to get drum rotated left or right some distance after back off 1.5 turns. Now I tried to open centre brake console, I have removed the two screws in the box, and got the console loose but it is still hard to access brake cable, I can not find a way to get gear (auto)...

I have screwed the bolt clockwise until tightened, then screwed anti-clockwise 1.5 turn as D2 manual said, I still feel drum (front plate?) tight. Do I need to release hand brake first?

Hi My disco. 2 td5 failed MOT for the excessive moment of hand brake. I know this issue is not complicated but I have not done this. Can anyone tell me how to shorten travel distance of hand brake? Thanks! Kai

Does a discovery2 td5 alternator have different capacity? e.g. some cars have ACE or non ACE, or AC or non AC. Mine have both ACE and AC.

In theory, regulator has high input impedance measured from its output. If it is blown, the input impedance would drop to near zero, i. e. short for battery unless alternator has protection mechanism , this is my concern.

I will get powerful battery as recommended by sierrafery. Is it worth to try to confirm if the alternator is faulty again with it? Would it damage the battery if the regulator of the alternator is damaged?

Hi Serrafery, Thanks! I go with you
