Thanks for the reply. Before I start taking the dashboard to bits, any tips on where to start and how to try and identify the leak? I seem to remember seeing some history of leaking pipes in the engine bay?

Guys, I know this has been done to death but I can't find what I'm looking for. I'm sure my aircon pipes are leaking. Which pipe is the most likely to be leaking and where do I locate it? Thank you. .:confused:

Guys, Update one week after picking up the Disco. I think this has got to be the best used car deal I've ever done. All cleaned up, serviced, totally awesome to drive, really catching the bug. Metallic blue, 46,000 miles, 11 months mot, 3 owners 2004, £6ooo. I guess I should go playing now...

Thanks again for the replies, Foss you say you change the oil and filters every 4k miles. Do I need to change the oil at 4k or are you being super careful? Another thing (and I know it's been mentioned a million times before) I'm thinkink of blanking off the EGR, what the best kit? Cheers

Hi guys, I've got a 2004 Disco 2 and my bumper mounted fog lights are full of sand (can't think how that might have happened)!! How do you open them up to clean out, is it from the front, if so how do you remove the retaining ring? Cheers..

Well guys, thanks for your advice. I've had a busy weekend helped a lot by all the info on this site. I picked the Disco up on Friday and paid to have it cleaned as it was an absolute tip. I bought a filter kit off ebay (genuine parts) and set to. I've changed the oil and filters the air...

Thanks guys, great advice, I'll be careful with the threads and the fuel filter as described.

Thanks Coolkrio, please forgive me, as I'm over 40 I struggle a little with the IT stuff! Better with the spanners me thinks..

Thanks Foss, I've ordered genuine LR filter kit off ebay, first job when I pick her up on Saturday. The DIY waxoyl application you recommend, is that the oily type or the black tar type of underseal? Do I need to do the inside of the panels as well? Anymore detail on the issue with the loom...

Come on guys, you must have an opinion, over 100 people have read this and only one reply? Maybe you just want me to find out for myself? :confused:

Thanks for the reply and advice, it's 2004 (04 reg).

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I'm just in the process of puchasing a 2004 discovery 2 (see post on general discussion section). Many years ago I used to own and trial a Samurai ( to be honest it was a brilliant little 4x4, very capable) and had the occasional use of a Defender...

I'm in the process of purchasing my first Land Rover and I think my confidence needs a little reasurance. As you guys are the experts what do you think of this deal? Discovery 2 TD5 pursuit 7 seater, 45000 miles, service history 2 owners, vehicle check clear. Now the not so good, bit scruffy in...
