    Heated Rear Window Doesn't Work

    The heated rear window and heated mirrors have stopped working on my 1999 Disco 2 TD5. The light comes on on the switch and I can hear the relay click but the windows and mirrors don't clear. Any ideas anyone?

    TD5 Fuel Pump Problem?

    So, last night I went out in my 1999 Discovery TD5 and parked up. When I returned to the car and started up the engine died again almost instantly. I tried to re-start but it seemed like a case of fuel starvation, even though I had about three quarters of a tank of fuel. I did a purge procedure...

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

    Hi, I've had this for the last year and had almost given up trying to identify the source of the noise. Just put the car through the MOT and it failed on the handbrake and had new shoes fitted. The rattle is still there but sounds "tinnier" than before and completely goes if you hold the...

    Head Lamp Protectors

    Managed to get one brand new nearside headlamp guard and fixings off E-Bay for £20 so that's just dandy.

    Head Lamp Protectors

    My Disco 2 has headlamp protectors fitted (part no. STC50026). I now need to remove the nearside one to gain access to the indicator assembly but find that the two screws on the side are rusted up and the posts rotate. Getting them out isn't my concern but does anyone know where I can get...

    Disco 2 TD5 ES steering box and SRS Problem

    Interesting comments, thank you all. I am going back to the garage to discuss this but am trying to do a bit of research first so they don't try and "blind me with science" so to speak! Is it just possible that fuse no. 35 (in the fusebox above the drivers' footwell) has blown or does this...

    Disco 2 TD5 ES steering box and SRS Problem

    I wonder if that's what they did. I did go to an independent Land Rover specialist with a very good reputation.

    Disco 2 TD5 ES steering box and SRS Problem

    So today I had to have a new steering box to get my 1999 TD5 ES through the MOT, together with lower front shock bushes and handbrake shoes. A bill for £800 ish and you think it would all be fine and dandy. However, when I collected the vehicle the SRS light stays on and none of the controls on...

    Rattle / resonance - TD5 Auto

    I've checked everything and still have no idea what it is. Could it be coming from the gearbox? It isn't getting any worse, I think the solution is to just turn the radio up!

    TD5 Auto "Sport" & "Manual" Mode Lights On

    I had exactly the same thing last week. Before starting the engine next time try moving the gear selector from park to 1 and back again a few times. It cleared the problem for me and has not re-appeared in three days so far.

    Rattle / resonance - TD5 Auto

    Hi. I’m new here, having recently joined following the purchase of a ’99 TD5 ES. It is in excellent condition, appears to have been well cared for and has a FSH. One or two niggles to sort out though, minor leak to front sun roof – if it stops raining long enough this weekend I will drop the...
