    Multiple water leaks Discovery 2

    I did the patch on engine side first (below the brake servo) but welded it from below as access was easier - partly from the pedals side but mostly from in the wheelarch. Then I welded the patch below it, mainly from the wheel side but also a few tacks from inside the footwell. I made (but...

    MOT failure

    Take a load of pictures, post them online (here if allowed, or ebay, or autotrader) to get the biggest potential audience. Be truthful about the dodgy bits as well as the good bits. If you Can't get an MoT without spending any money, then you might get £300 off a scrapyard. If you Do get an MoT...

    Multiple water leaks Discovery 2

    Water does get into that spot on 3 sides - 1 condensation / leaks just above the carpet/ insulation, around the weld-point 2 in the wheelarch & partly covered by the liner, which can trap moisture-laden dirt against the joint 3 inside the engine compartment, behind the soundmat which again traps...

    Multiple water leaks Discovery 2

    Mine had holes high and low... The low one was easy enough, but the top one was right where the bulkhead met the inner wing. Managed to weld it up, but was so relieved to be finished I forgot to take pictures. Relieved as in, loads of smoke but happily, no fire... Also, Really close to...

    Passenger Footwell Leak

    I used a sharp knife and cut away the bottom 3 or 4 inches behind the arches to allow access for inspection & welding, and to keep it away from the newly painted surfaces.

    Discovery 2 Hazard / Indicator Issue

    I had a blown indicator bulb (in bumper) which made mine flash like crazy, and even when replaced (easy) it took several seconds pause before working again. I assumed a control module was doing some wiring/resistance checks before deciding all was OK. So I suggest - check your bulbs and /or...

    Desperate. Don't know anymore.

    I had exactly the same issue last year with my D2 TD5 Auto; it was the inside of the pipe collapsing as described above, from turbo to intercooler (the one with a metal joiner). Could not see anything wrong from the exterior inspection, but take the pipe off & a big flap was intermittently...

    Discovery II - Tyre Comparison

    I think 255/65 16 is about an inch wider than standard size, so maybe that's the real cause of the noise issue? On my D2 I put General Grabber AT3 (235/70 16 on the original standard alloys). I'm about 12k miles into their 50k life-expectancy & they still have 12mm tread-depth. Almost all...
