Music to my ears, thanks Jamesmartin.

Hi I just came from an indipendant land rover dealer about 3 hrs ago and he is a friend of a friend if you know what I mean. He said to leave well alone, Maintanence cost is astronomical on them, and land rover didn't iron out the usual land rover problems. Hand brake, they leak still & gearbox...

Hi folks an update for you all. The transfer box took nearly a ltr of ep90. Not good so I took it to an indie. He has confirmed the end of life Span for my transfer box. So it looks like I need a re-con then. No point in having it rebuild due to cost & time scale. Was strange that I could hear...

I call mine the disco duck........**** knows why, I guess its because it rimes & I'm welsh which means I could be a poet, and didn't ****ing know it.

Oh you can't convince me.....ok they do a four wheel drive, but it does look gay, you can't argue with that. I'd rather a freelander 1 than one of those, and that's saying something. My neighbour has got one, it's awefull. And that's coming from him.

Chuckle.....chuckle

I think it's value has got to be a £1 more than the ES.

Yeah I'm going to drop the oil out of both gearbox & transfer. Do they take the same oil mtf94? I bought a gallon today.

I'd say smelly and thinnish!!! But deffo smelly!!!!!

Hi again folks.....on looking further in to this noise today, I started the engine put the transfer box in neutral and went through all the gears as if I were driving, slight noise, very slight from 1st to 4th then much more prominent in 5th I then press the clutch and the noise totally...

Thanks all.....

If it's the realease bearing can I still drive the discovery? Can the noise go away on it's own accord in time. Anybody have the same noise on theirs. & what have you done to solve it!

So what happens if it's that? Can I carry on or is it a big job thanks defcrazy.

TheBiglad is spot on..... Done it myself. Worked a treat for me.

I pulled a friends stuck disco out of a deep rutt in low range 1st the other day & the disco had quite a workout getting it out. On driving home & slowing down in gears mainly noticeable in the lower gears. There is a sound of a fast skateboarder going on a pavement coming from my gear box area...

I love the performance of drilled & grooved discs, but couldn't help noticing that they were there if you know what I mean. I kinda think they should be on performance track vehicles not every day ones. But each to their own & that's exactly what owning a land rover is. We personalise them to...

Personally I prefer manual. But I think it's one of them down to personal preference thingys. Autos are better in traffic, you don't get clutch knee. Manual is better for towing & fuel consumption.

I must be the only person with a disco 2 with sunroofs that don't leak. (touch wood) that's all I hear about. Am I missing something? Iv had it four years 147000 on the clock & the air bags are still going strong. One thing I clean it like someone with compulsive disorder. So I must be doing...

Well to be fair I love my disco 2 td5 and wouldn't swap it for anything else. As for as good as the defender he did say moderate offroading so it'l be as good as the defender there. Also if you tow it'l beat the defender at that anyday, I have towed with them both and in my opinion the disco is...

Could be a dodgy earth connection somewhere.
