As above disco 2 rear fog lights not working. Checked fuse, ok. Bulbs, ok. Recently had BCU fitted and had to go back to garage to have 'get you home' headlights, drivers door only unlock and some other things reprogrammed back on. Noticed afterwards that indicators do not flash on lock/unlock...

Hello, I have a disco 2 td5 auto 2003. Gearbox goes into limp mode shortly after setting off. Symptoms being; lots of revs to get car moving (coz in 3rd i guess), can put car in 1,2,3 or D and no difference. Red lights on gear stick go off (m&s lights on dash never worked). Loud clunk from...

Had a look at panhard rod. If bushes are bad would the rod move with hand force or need some help from a lever of some sort? Tyre pressures checked to 30 psi as per book. Read somewhere tyre size could cause problems, the bigger the worse. Mine are 255/55/18 both new and same tread pattern...

My 53 plate disco 2 auto also feels "unsafe" on some roads, to the extent where (on fast roads) move wheel left or right to correct path, and takes seconds to respond. Could this be drag link arm problem?. I've just laid under car and held both ends of bar and ball joint lifts up/down slightly...

I have a 53 disco 2 auto diesel due for service. Is it personal taste for filters etc or worth paying the extra for genuine land rover over britpart and bearmach etc. Thanks

I had 3 amigos. Garage changed abs sensor to no avail. Then changed wheel hub which touch wood seems to have cured problem. Something to do with cogs damaged. Hope this helps.

Turns out it was MAF. Replaced and back to normal. Cat 'emptied' to stop rattling.

Hello, My 53 disco 2 has become sluggish when in top gears. The auto box kicks down but there is no power to overtake or accelerate. I recently cleaned & re oiled the k&n cotton air filter. Would too much oil cause this? Also noticed a rattling towards the front of exhaust system. I have read...

Just a thought before sourcing new / second hand. Just sat in car and pulled up knob on door top and its sucked back down straight away. Am i still looking at replacing. Thanks again.

Thank you for your comments.

Hello, i've had a new ignition barrel fitted and i assume programmed by Land Rover dealer. Since then the nearside front door lock is playing up. press remote and door does not unlock. use dashboard switch door does not unlock. Start driving and door does not lock with others. Press remote or...

Hello, wonder if anyone can shed any light on this. Our 53 disco 2 had to have a new ignition barrel so we took to landrover main dealer in Derby (coz their the experts after all). Barrel was fitted and programmed to keys etc. On picking up car, the interior lights are on very dim all the time...

Handbook that comes with car says passenger compartment fuse 3 10 amp for instrument cluster and switch illumination. Haynes manual (don't have RAVE) adds LH headlights main beam to list. Under steering wheel looking at fuse box it's the row of fuses next to relays and third down from top as...

Apologies. It is the handbook and it's fuse box under steering wheel, fuse 3 (instrument pack and switch illumination), sorry for confusion.

Hi, my disco 2 53 plate has started blowing dash lights (Fuse 2). Put in new one and central locking went weird, locking car with remote or key made 'doors open' bleep of horn. After using car doors ok but dash fuse blew again. Book says fuse 2 is instrument pack & switch illumination only so...

Hi, i have 53 disco 2 which drops down on drivers side, especially when going into park over several speed bumps. Leave engine running and soon pumps up again. I assume puncture in airbag but garage thinks height ride sensor is faulty. Any opinions on this please. Also with engine off, and i sit...

Hi battenberg, great article, can you help me please. I have a 53 disco 2 which sinks on drivers side. I assume airbag but garage thinks ride height sensor. In your opinion would that cause car to sink one side? Thanks for any info. Phil.

Hello, I have a 53 plate disco 2 and have the infamous 3 amigos. Various attempts have been made to get rid of them. The latest will be a shuttle valve on abs. If this does not work whats the deal with mot as any warning light should mean failure of the test. Do we just keep throwing money at...

Hello, I have been looking at getting an OBD2 adaptor for Discovery 2, 53 plate, facelift model. Does anyone have experience of this gadget. I am wondering if it will read ABS codes etc and reset fault codes, or are they just for 'engine' faults? Thanks in advance for any help.
