    Disco 2 Heater control bulb

    I thought it was the same as my old Disco 1. However, when searching, nothing came up suggesting this. Does the bulb fit into an aperture. I know I pushed something through and I believe it was the holder. Thanks

    Disco 2 Heater control bulb

    I have just taken the facia off and went to put the bulb in. However, the above part number is not for this heater. The base is circular. I have taken a picture (which I will try to upload) of the aperture - note it is rectangular. I have also taken a photo of the control itself. Can anyone...

    Disco 2 Heater control bulb

    That's great - I assume it is plug and play. Only concern I have is that I thought the bulb was clear. Is this possible? Colour of light is green and I guess it could be this. In terms of PITA this was easy - once I figured it out. I need to do it again in order to explain. Once I do it, I will...

    Disco 2 Heater control bulb

    I have the very basic heater control - non digital. The bulb blew a while back and I managed to find out how to access it. I couldn't pull the bulb out and ended up bu breaking it. It appeared to be housed in a small black plastic holder. I pushed this and it went back towards the bulkhead and...

    Disco 2 Fan Heater Noise

    Hi. It has been quite a while since I have posted. Would really appreciate some more advice. When my fan heater is on, it blows out hot air. However, there is a high pitch whistle from what appears to be the motor. It sounds as though something is in it. Is it easy to access the fan? If so, how...

    Mechanic/Garage in Plymouth

    My son is due to start at Plymouth university and has decided to take his car (non Discovery). I do not know Plymouth and would welcome any recommendations for a decent mechanic/garage. When you don't know the area, it is so easy to get ripped off. I don't relish those calls that start with my...

    Disco 2 Hard breaking on the motorway

    Tyre pressures are fine and I recently had new bushes all round. Front calipers, discs and pads were replaced last year. I think the issue may well be with the back ones. Will check at the weekend.

    Disco 2 Hard breaking on the motorway

    Totally agree about light breaking. The high position allows for excellent vision and hence light braking. I've just taken it out for a test down a quiet road and applied the brake hard. The Disco is definitely pulling to the left.

    Disco 2 Hard breaking on the motorway

    Just got back from Plymouth, which was a 220 mile drive. Disco drove superbly. We were collecting my son and all of his clobber from University. All fitted in the back of the Disco, with 4 of us in the car. Due to late night, early morning I drove the first part, but, was too tired to carry on...

    URGENT - Part Needed

    Update: Thanks, Meego. I phoned Island 4x4 up and they said it was on back order. The new hose arrived and I was going to drive the Disco to my local mechanic. However, could not engage gear. Tried bleeding the system - no luck. Called the RAC and they tried bleeding the system. Air was getting...

    URGENT - Part Needed

    Success - Breakers have one - Not cheap, but at least it will keep me on the road. I am going to use the old one as a template and see if PIRTEC can make one up. As this is second hand, it may well go at some point. If not, I know there is a market out there and will sell it at some point.

    URGENT - Part Needed

    Cheers Neilly. I am waiting for a call from a breaker as he may have one. It depends if they damage it when they remove it. If I have no luck with this, I will get a damaged one and take it to Steve.

    URGENT - Part Needed

    This is getting absolutely ridiculous. I have worked through google and noone has the part in stock. All state it is on back-order. This has been the case for over 3 months. I have tried Hydraulic manufacturer and they have stated it cannot be done, due to the flexible pipe. Clutch fluid will...

    URGENT - Part Needed

    That's a good point. I did contact him last time and he had just sold it to the company who looked at my Disco. He might have a damaged one, which wouldn't matter. Another call tomorrow!

    URGENT - Part Needed

    That is very kind of you. If I can find a part tomorrow, I will take it to a mechanic. If I can't, I will have to see what I can do. I need to take it to Plymouth to pick my son up from Uni on the 10th. I go back to work on the 5th - bad timing!

    URGENT - Part Needed

    Neilly - you are quite right, you did. Following the issue with it, I opted for a well known Landrover Specialist, who at the time had a salvage pipe in. They reported there was no issue with the pipe as it was perfectly dry. They did however point out about £2000 of work that would be needed...

    URGENT - Part Needed

    I have someone who can fit it for me on Saturday. Issue I have with Hydraulic agent is that I will have to remove the pipe. Due to a recent shoulder operation, I am unable to do this. I will just keep phoning people tomorrow. I was hoping someone might know a place who had them in stock. If you...

    URGENT - Part Needed

    Discool - I have been in touch with a supplier who advertises it and they do not have it in stock. Last time I looked, this was the case with all suppliers. Hopefully, someone will have one in stock.

    URGENT - Part Needed

    MF Hydraulics is not far from me and I will phone them tomorrow. My only concern is that I need it by Saturday. I don't know if they will be able to do it by then. I looked on John Craddock website and they imply it maybe in stock. Again, I will phone tomorrow. I am trying to cover all bases...
