it could be from anywhere - you really need to get under and have a look. There are not a lot of gaskets in the origional (at least not in my 41D prefix ) - as RF sealant was used though you can buy them now. So it may be dripping from a join with sump or one of the bolts on the sump plate, but...

Indeed... Indeed :doh:

Just for info. There are some useful pictures and descriptions of how to `unfreeze' the diff lock in the LRO magaizine December 2010 - if you know of anyone who takes the mag.

Can anyone recommend a good (and preferably reasonably priced) bush tool for use on the D2? Many thanks

Have you looked on ebay - there are several listed. have a look at: land rover discovery lt77 geabox and transfer box on eBay (end time 01-Feb-11 20:48:08 GMT)...

I've just changed to Castrol Edge for the engine. Expensive, but I got 8 litres on a reduction at Halfords, usually its Magnatec I've used. The idea is the edge is longer lasting, but then the service intervals remain the same so I guess the oil is lubricating better in the interim. Have a...

A 2003 TD5 is unlikely to have diff lock in the Transfer case - you can check underneath to see (41 or 42D prefix has the diff lock mechanism) - 1998-2001 probably will have it in the box and high spec 2004 will have it present as standard anywhere inbetween will probably need it added to the...

I'd see whats on the market and make a comparison. A straight family car may well be in better condition than one used for off-roading but with lots of goodies. Air suspension is not a problem IF you treat it as consisting of servicable items and you will get a better ride with it. If you go for...

For what its worth I agree with Dave. You can get a good D2 well within that budget (my 2000 model cost £4200 last year) that has been used as a family car and then spend the rest of the budget on off road `mods/goodies' :) - for some ideas on useful mods have a look at Urban Panzers very useful...

If youve a pre 2003 disco and replaced with a posts 2003 emgine you may need the ECU adjusted. Earth straps probable cause of your prob though - I agree with Chrismb

You dont say if its pre or post 2003, the tyre size, and whether you will be fully loaded or not- there is a difference in tyre pressure advice. Assuming 255/65/16 Up to 4 passengers and luggage: pre 2003 - 1.9 bar (28) on the front and 2.6 bar (38) on the back from 2003 - 2.1 bar on the...

Have a look at: www.discovery2.co.uk* / Horn Relocation the horns can get `squeeky' with water ingress - but as you can see from the link the horns can be moved to avoid the problem. You may need new horns first though to restore origional sound. Hope this helps,

Just one thing to add if you bought from a dealer... contact the previous owner (address on registration document) and ask him very nicely if he had any issues with the car before it was sold - you could also ask for a maintenance/repair history. I had significant issues with mine (now all...

The other point, if I may, is that air can get into the system from slow leaks on the pipes on the power steering `bar' - may be worth trying a bleed of the system first.

Some thoughts: Is your gearbox oil level ok? May be worth checking the gearbox oil filter isnt clogged Pop the top of the shift lever off and check to see if the clip on the button is intact, they have been know to come off and jam the rod in the handle. Others may have better ideas...

I must say that mine drops when jacked up at the back - you can hear it releasing air but then is right as rain again when the car is level. Its been like that ever since I've had it. In fact it did it again this weekend a little when I changed the front tyre. Its not a problem and I thought it...

Coils on a seven seater would technically break type approval, but its just bacause LR didnt apply for it with springs as they didnt build 7 searers with springs - doesnt mean they are unsafe in any way. You also need to be careful what springs are fitted. Heavy duty OME or OEM progressive...

Btw - on the roof rack.... have a look at: Safety Devices Roofrack on eBay (end time 01-Feb-11 11:56:31 GMT)

On the Britpart springs - depends what you are using them for. The off-roaders on here done call them `****part' without reason.... The stronger the springs the better really, especially if you are going to fit other kit. I had a look at Foundry spacers (they are just `up the road' ) and they...

Check dipstick for white sludge - if so its cylinder head. If not its more likely to be leaking elsewhere - could be a crack in the water pump, or elsewhere in the system, that may expand under pressure but closes down when not hot. I've had one like that. In which case watch for a leak - it...
