OK Sieraferry. Thanks for help. Have tried trick with sensor. Works a treat. Will probably use that trick to get me home. Cheers Dave

Thanks for really quick reply. Scuse my ignorance, but are you saying I should be using a 8mm or possibly 9mm socket ? It's peeing down here on the Isle of Skye, and I am not under cover ! Struth !!!!! Dave

Hi again. Definately have found the height sensor is knackered. Have tried to remove this but cannot figure out size of the two small retaining bolts to chassis. Suspension arm end is off ok, but cannot find spanner or socket to fit the two small bolts holding sensor to chassis !!! Any you folks...

Disco TD5 2001, 7 seat. Having replaced airbags about 2 yrs ago (reasonably straighforward) I now have problem with O/S rear down. Corner drops right down when parked. First thing in morning at start-up, this corner rises to virtually standard height and remains there for around 30 seconds, then...

The biggest problem I have found in DIY hub replacement, is the removal of the central hub nut and retorquing to the manual figure. You really need a good quality, 6 point, 3/4 in drive socket and very big breaker bar (4ft + long is ideal) to remove and obviously a v big torque wrench for...

Maybe something has frozen up in this cold weather!! There are a number of components that may have failed. Each rear wheel has a "height sensor", the one on the drivers side may have failed. The air pump assembly (under the N/S chassis, midway) has the pump and numerous valves and sensors...

As these sensors are expensive to buy, I would agree with previous. Get the correct one for your rear hub. Cutting and attempting to join the wiring is not to be recommended and trying to stow excess in a coil is not a good idea. Changing is quite straightforward, after removing caliper and...

Just checked. Google "Discovery Starter Solenoid". You will get lots of info on problem and how to fix. Dave

Could be worn contacts in solenoid. Refurb kit available on e-bay for around £20. Best done by removing starter, but that can be a real PITA, getting at all three fixings!! I did my D2 with starter still on car. Using ramps and crawling under. Bit of a fiddle but managed it. There is an article...

OK Sounds like I have got the wrong end of the stick on this one. Though it was too good to be true. Thanks Dave

I have D2 TD5 2001. Read somewhere that it is possible to adjust electric sunroof closing "tightness" on seal by removing a "blanking plate" and adjusting with allen key. Anyone heard of this ? If this is possible, where is this "blanking plate" ? Dave

Some think Britpart components are to be avoided. I have fitted Disco2 TD5 Britpart hubs, both front and rear. Never had a problem, but I am not an "off-roader", just a road user occasionally pulling a large caravan. If your usage is normal road driving, in my opinion, Britparts are fine. Dave...

Could be leaking from roof bar front fixing. Try some sealant around this.

OK managed to do the stud replacement with hub on vehicle. If anyone out there is interested then I will post details. Cheers Dave

OK. I take it from lack of response, that nobody monitoring this forum has changed a stud on a TD5 Disco 2 front hub !! (either with hub on or of vehicle) Well I'll give it a go and post results. Can't believe this has not been covered before! Dave, Edinburgh

Thanks for reply. I am sure this can be done on D1's but has anyone had success with D2? Not too hopefull!!! I actually have a new replacement hub, but lack the tools to do a complete swap. ie v big torque wrench, hub puller, etc. The existing hub seems fine in regard to zero play etc, so...

Listerdiesel shows pic of rear hub, and it looks like stud replacement is not possible. However on a D2 front hub, there is more space and also a notch at hub rear, which seems on examination, would allow stud replacement, when rotated/aligned with relevant stud. Can anyone confirm this? Has...

Vehicle Disco 2 TD5 2001. I have a broken front wheel stud (Hurricane 18 in wheels). Looking closely at hub, it looks like this could be replaced with hub on vehicle, after removal of caliper and disc etc. There appears to be a notch, when aligned with relevant stud, at bottom of the hub rear...
