    18" hurricane tyre size?

    This doesn't help. I have a Disco 2 TD5, and there is no mention of either the Hurricane wheel or the Wrangler's to which I refer. I ask again: Can I safely fit 245 / 55 / 18 Goodyear Wrangler's to an 18" Hurricane alloy wheel, where it appears that 255 is the "recommended or standard"...

    18" Hurricane Alloy Wheels - Can I fit 245 / 55 / 18 Wranglers?

    Quick question: Can I safely fit a matching set of Goodyear Wrangler's (245 / 55 / 18) onto these rims? I ask as a couple of other posts elsewhere have suggested that one should fit 255 / 55 /18's or 255 / 60 / 18's! Would it be dangerous to fit these ever so slightly narrower tyres...

    Disco II Air suspension – the definitive guide

    Sounds like the ECU is buggering around - (which is bad news) - however there could be several causes (including the WABCO pump itself). The only way to be sure is for some quality diagnosis. Ideally, you need to take this into a MD or quality LR only specialist with a Test Book computer or...

    Disco II Air suspension – the definitive guide

    Hi Tramroads You defo need to take it back to the garage (if you trust them) as you've commissioned them to repair your Disco, and they've clearly failed. By taking your money and declaring the air bag issue resolved - they've a duty of care under the Sale of Goods Act to complete the...

    Disco II Air suspension – the definitive guide

    E800.00 for an airbag - are you serious? Buy one on Ebay from a UK dealer (circa £120 for a genuine Contitech OEM airbag), and have them send it via a DHL/UPS type courier to you - probably no more than £30-40 for the courier postage and have it in probably 48 - 72 hours. You don't need to...

    Disco II Air suspension – the definitive guide

    Initially, I don't understand why, after the initial bang and drop, you've replaced the entire system of compressor / bags and sensors? If a bag exploded, it would simply need a new bag and the for the source of the over-inflation (SLABS / sensor etc) to be tracked down and replaced. To have...

    Disco II Face lift Guide

    Hi Martin Your 99 Disco with the facelift looks absolutely fab.. nice job. I want to exactly the same to my 2002 Disco (just pre-facelift), to look the same as what you've done here. Did you follow a guide to show you how it was all done? I'm quite happy with a step by step guide and...

    Disco TD5 - Rear Door no longer unlocks from central locking....!? Help!

    Thanks thebiglad - you are spot on. I've just been outside to do this, and you are right - it only gives access to the latch mechanism that actually opens the door - you cannot access anything that has anything to do with central locking mechanism at all - this appears to be completely concealed...

    Disco TD5 - Rear Door no longer unlocks from central locking....!? Help!

    Ok - will give this a go. When the badge has been pryed off - does it need to be bonded back in place? Or is it just a "press fit"?

    Disco TD5 - Rear Door no longer unlocks from central locking....!? Help!

    Yes - as mentioned in my original post... "The rear door can now only be opened by pulling the internal door catch from the inside of the car, so one of the kids needs to be reach over the top of the rear seats, pull the lever and the door catch pops up, so that the door can then be opened...

    Disco TD5 - Rear Door no longer unlocks from central locking....!? Help!

    Hi Steve Serviceable? Or get another one from a breaker and replace it? If it's the latter - is it a relatively straightforward pull out and plug in the new one type job?

    Disco TD5 - Rear Door no longer unlocks from central locking....!? Help!

    Hi there I've got a new glitch on the TD5, and wondered if it's something I can fix myself... In the last week or so, the rear door has stopped unlocking from the central locking - that is to say, either from the unlock from the remote key, or from manually sticking the key in the driver's...

    slight vibration/rumbling on td5 auto at 2000 revs ish /auto gear changing

    Won't be back there for a while... unless something falls off! Will ask when I'm there next - alternatively, give him a buzz - he's genuine main dealer LR trained mechanic.... From what I understand, it was a significant recall on all TD5's, that was done routinely as part of the service...

    slight vibration/rumbling on td5 auto at 2000 revs ish /auto gear changing

    Problem has now been fixed. Was finally cured by Gary Bignall from Bigbury 4x4 jst outside Canterbury. In a nutshell - it required no parts, and apparently this was a recall fix from the main dealers when the TD5's were new. He simply removed a part (can't remember what he said it was) from...

    Discovery 2 Noises - Not Serious, But Would Like To Identify? Help Please!

    Hi Twinny Sorry - don't know which was the offending part that was subject to the LR product recall (other than it being a small part that did virtually nothing within the handbrake unit somewhere) - however I do remember Gary telling me that mine had already been removed, so that this wasn't...
