Well, After suffering the money pit Discovery 2 for too long now. I have crossed to the dark side. I found a re-chassid 1993 90 200Tdi. Rebuilt engine, New turbo, Recon axels, New shocks and springs, All poly bushed, Re built Bulkhead, Galvenised chassis. And a decent price. Couldn't pass it up...

Do the Defenders have the electrical 4x4 assistance that the discovery has? IE My 2001 Discovery 2 TD5 has no manual central diff lock (just hi/lo ratios), instead it has electricaly controled Traction controle and Hill Decent controle working within the ABS system. Is this the same on a 2001...

I have no idea how they might have become blocked discool. I've had the car three years and never had a sunroof leak before. Sunroofes never left open and car parcked in the open no big dumps of leaves. If I use an air line to blow them through am I risking blowing the rubber tube off? Val.

My 2001 discovery 2 got quite a bit of water in the boot last week after the heavy rain. I'm guessing it is the sunroof/s leaking. puddeling in the rear drivers side of the boot and very wet rooflining above. Als a wet drivers seat belt?? Do they have drain pipes and if so how do you clear them...

Thanks guys, Very helpful. Val.

I've seen articles mentioning the center diff lock on early D2s is already fitted, and that the operating leaver is not fitted as standard, but can be retro fitted. Is this correct? My car is a 2001 TD5 D2. I have in the center consul, the gear leaver and the Hi-Lo range changer. Where if added...

Oh! That's a surprise. Yes Discovery 2 TD5. So what is the little round smoked red/black round thing in the middle of the dash just under the windscreen then???? Tanks Neilly, I'll have a look. Val.

I think the key fob receiver on the dash has given up. I've done some searching but not found how to replace it. Do I have to strip the whole dash, or does it just pop out the top??? Val.

Big CC autos with Borg Warner type gearboxes (oil filled centrifugal clutch) do tend to be sluggish off the mark and can be quite depressing (read desperately slow to get moving) to use round tow if you're more used to a manual gearbox. However once you get up above 20mph it should be feeling a...

Thank you, I've just messaged him. Val.

Hello, I need to replace the plug that connects to the fuel pump that is located in the fuel tank. The connection has become loose and melted the plug and connections to the pump, so need both pump (already ordered) and replacement plug. The plug seems to be wired straight into the loom. Is...

Thanks for the info, I'll pass that on and get it checked. Well, I can check the fuse myself............. Val.

Err Yes If that's what its called then yes the instrument pack has stopped working. No speedo, No rev counter, No mileage display, No fuel gauge, No temp gauge. Most of the ignition lights come on then go off. Night illumination works. I was driving along and it died, came back for a few...

The dashboard display on my 2001 Discovery 2 TD5 stopped working. The garage has replaced it with a used one of the same serial numbers, but this isn't working either. They have plugged it in to the computer, but no luck. Apparently their electrical guy is looking into it and has another D2 with...

Anyone?

Well when it started it was. I had a wheel bearing break down and the dash stopped working. Hmm. Anyone know anything about the dash on the 51 plate TD5 Discovery? The Needles fell to their stops and the LCD went blank. When you turn on the ignition it flickers then dies. Can it be fixed or do...

Back on the road now. Head gasket was the problem, brought on by a weeping hose at the back of the head. Luckily the head was ok. Pressure tested and skimmed 6 thou. Thanks for the the help and advice guys. Val.

Re head: Won't know till tomorrow if I'll need one. What can you tell me about it, has it been tested or simply as removed from the engine? Did you remove it, mileage, price etc etc. Ta Val. PS: How do you do PM's not overly keen to give you a phone number on this system.

Hello 90boy, I tried messaging you. Don't seem to be able to PM on this site??? I left a message on your profile page (I think that's what it was anyway). I don't yet know the full extent of the damage as I'm too late to call the garage now. I think if I need one it will likely be the 10p...

Hello, I have been told you have a SH TD5 cylinder head for sale. I'm (I think) looking for the 10p? to fit a Discovery two, 51 plate. Regards Val.
