Sorry for the stupid question, seached about but couldn't find this. Finally got round to changing the discs and pads on the Disco tonight (2003 TD5). Took me about 15 minutes to get the pads out and caliper off. Retaining screw in about a second with an impact driver. The disc itself would not...

Definite cure. Get kids. Show them where the interior light switches are. The fekkin things will be on the whole time. You won't notice though, until you approach at 5am in the dark to head off for work...

You know, sometimes I look for a reason to dislike my D2 (2003 TD5 59k miles) but I just can't. It's a low miler I know but it hasn't let me down in two years (that's just f**ked it). It's got a dated interior, leaks water every now and again from various orifices, and sounds like a tractor...

Went to fit new pads to the '03 TD5 today and noticed that the discs had quite a lip on them. Don't have a gauge to measure, but reckon there is as much as 2-3mm at the edge of the disc. So abandoned job until I have sourced some discs and will do all at the same time. How do you decide on...

Because I have had 2 classics and a P38 and thought it might be fun. Found a great example which was immaculate inside, only 72k and a very good price. Then I realised that the previous owner obviously had a dog with halitosys that had **** itself in the back... Still, another 25 valets and I'll...

Thanks minidod, so my decision is 255/65s or to brave the 70 profile which is just a bit taller and might giver me a rubbing problem. The speedo might under-read but that'll help me avoid another 3 points! But ther bigger sidewall looks better and is better for the off-roading. Maybe I'll see...

Thanks for the tips sierrafery. The 18" were fitted when I bought her, but they were a standard LR option at the time. I've never had any issues (and I like my cornering) what makes you comment on the instability? Think I might brave the 255/75 profile as there is decent clearance on the...

I know there's a sticky on Disco tyres, but it only applied to Mk 1 Discos. I am looking at a set of nutter mud/snow tyres for the winter for my stock unmodified 2003 Disco 2. I want to know what tyres will fit on my Disco for certain. Now I've got 255/55R18s on a the moment, so by my...

Sorry to resurrect this one guys, but defcrazy are you sure you can't adjust these? I am looking to try "adjusting mine" because the gear indication is fine except for Drive - it loses the "D" indication once the engine warms up, but I can get it back by gently pressing the lever back slightly -...

I'm in High Wycome with a Hawkeye enabled for my 04 Td5 Disco.

I don't reckon 9K is outrageous for that motor if it's clean with a good history and a low miler. There's tons around for half that price... with 200k on them. Check lates LRO for buyers guide on facelift Disco-2s. Fact is last winter brought alot of people into the market, and the pre-facelifts...

Cheap at half the price: LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 2 FACELIFT SPORTS STYLE GRILL on eBay (end time 08-Aug-10 10:52:00 BST)

Yeah I know. My Mum's from a different age, it doesn't make her illegal.

I might as well throw in my tuppennies worth here. I traded in my 1999 4.6HSE P38 for an '03 Disco 2 TD5 3 months ago. I was really worried I would notice the lack of power, but it's only noticable up at the top end. The pull on the TD5 up to 60 (especially after EGR removal and decat) is pretty...

Don't think the CO2 is listed on vehicles registered before a certain date. Also, I don't think it's measured as part of the MOT test, only CO and HC are measured, as these are the gases the ECS is meant to reduce. CO2 is not actually a pollutant, since it ocurs naturally in air, and nor is...

Just fitted Bilstein B6 yellow shocks to the front of my '03 TD5 to match the pair I just fitted on the back. I'm really pleased with the ride quality, the lack of rebound over speed bumps is particularly noticable. I have to say it was an easy job, but getting the turrets out on either side...

Thanks for looking for the link Buster. When they sell you these things they don't tell you that there's 2 hours of web searching and a ****load of ****ing around to do the b**stard up. I am going to bed angry. I can feel an RAF production coming on....

Thanks for the advice guys. I got a ladder and am about to fit it. Sorry for being a total spanner here, but what's the score with the rivet gun? The instructions show this, but I can't see where the gun comes in? These look like nuts that will pull up when I tighten the allen bolt? What am I...

Does anyone have any experience of using a rear access ladder on a Disco-2. I'm thinking about a unit like this: LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 1 & 2 REAR ACCESS LADDER on eBay (end time 11-Jul-10 17:30:33 BST) But I'm worried it would overload the hinges on the rear door. Obviously you would only use...

Hmmm... Dunno if I can be arsed. Only 50k on the clock. Which springs would you recommend, bearing in mind I don't off-road in it and want a decent road ride?
