    D2 Service kit and oil recommendations

    Hi guys, Does anyone have recommendation for a good Disco 2 TD5 service kit and oil package that I should buy for servicing my Disco? I have seen loads online and on eBay but most seem to be the QX branded stuff and my mate says it’s cheap rubbish and not to buy it. Cheers in advance Chris

    Coolant type TD5

    Hi folks, Quick question, what type of coolant should I buy for my 2001 Disco 2 TD5? It’s orange the stuff that’s in it just now but wondered whether the universal type is ok to use also? Cheers Chris

    Back again after 11 years!!

    Well I am 33 years old now so was only 22 when I had my Disco V8 lol first proper motor I had once I passed my driving test at 21 lol! Was a great big motor, now have a Disco 2 TD5 ES model but seems all ok! Will be getting it looked over by my mate just to see if anything needs doing to it.

    Back again after 11 years!!

    Hi folks, Finally returned to Land Rover after an 11 year absence! Really surprised that my account was still active, felt nostalgic reading through my personal information and status! I had a Disco 1 3.9 v8 back then and my dream Landrover was a 2007 Range Rover Vogue! Fast forward to now and...

    I had to let it go I am afraid.

    Maybe so mate but there is no denying that the classic range rovers are made of some of the worst quality materials possible to put in a motor. They might be great mechanically ( which mine was ) but everything else is of pretty low standard other than the fantastic leather seats mine had...

    I had to let it go I am afraid.

    hi guys, I had to get rid of my range rover only couple of weeks, mechanically it was fine but everything else turned to ****. I had central locking fail, switches fail, temp gauge fail and passenger window come off it's runner. I am far from impressed by the quality that these things are...

    rr classic vibration

    I know this sounds silly but is it engine vibration or chassis? If it's engine it could be that distribution cap and rotary arm need replaced as I had similar excessive vibration but mine was only the engine running with excessive vibration after 30 mph. If it's something else then goodluck...

    Are the old range rovers better than the p38?

    Well maybe so but my Range rover is the 3.5 efi so not on carbs and it still going strong 20 years old. My car has long warranty haha!

    Are the old range rovers better than the p38?

    yeah i managed to get a bargain like that, my mate got compo money from the army and bought himself a 06 plate pug 407 and sold me his 2000 reg citreon xsara vtr for £100 which is a total bargain and a half. I can sell it on for a big profit which would be nice at this time of year as i am...

    Are the old range rovers better than the p38?

    Haha! Yeah the shogun is a good motor it drives really nice and is quick. I have a pug 307 on a 07 plate and its an excellent car much better than the 306. It is as good as a vw golf and all its components are generally bosch made so the quality is there. I may be selling the range rover...

    Are the old range rovers better than the p38?

    Hi guys, Is it just me or does it seem the old classic Range Rovers are alot more reliable than the p38 onward?? There seems to be next to no threads regarding any issues related to the classic, i have a 1989 Range Rover vogue 3.5 efi with lpg and it has done 143k and its still going strong...
