    Disco 2 Td5 rough idle

    Two things that may help. Whose fuel do you use? I only use Esso, never supermarkets. When i had a similar problem a few years ago i added 2so to the fuel when filling up. Seemed to cure problem which has never returned. Maybe coincidence but i always start with the simplest ideas to fix a...

    Disco 2 td5 rear fuel pipes leaking - change without dropping tank?

    Yes it can be done without removing tank. Either pull the new pipe through attached to old pipe or use a cord or something. Done by my garage and as already suggested wrap the pipe in anti chafe tape or fit a piece of split hose over the pipe.

    Thinking of doing the NC500

    MJI, your original question has been hijacked a bit by some westcoasters. Yes, the NC500 is a wonderful trip and as someone else said, May, June is a good time. To do it justice i would advise a week for the NC500 itself. I did it over 40 years ago with a caravan in tow. Nearly all single track...

    Running Board and Parts

    Big suppliers of parts are Paddocks in Buxton. Go and buy some Landrover magazines with lots of parts suppliers in the pages. Also a Haynes manual .Plenty of help on here and at the Disco2boys club forum.

    What the heck is this noise. Please experts, help!

    The noise is the ABS kicking in. Quite sensitive. Happens often whenever a wheel gets a wee kick, like a kerb drop or a pothole. Not to worry about. Someone better than me will probably explain better.

    Does fuel have a best before date?

    I tend to keep my Disco 2 topped up fully. When down to half tank I then fill it right up. Mileage is(before lockdown) about 5-6000 per year Also never buy supermarket fuel, except Tesco, which is ESSO. And I add 2SO every time I fill up. This helps lubrication of pump and injectors. 142k on...

    Td5 'surging' or 'hunting', in top gear!

    going back to the WD40. WD40 is NOT a lubricant, used as a cleaner and loosener of parts it is great. There are WD40 versions which do lubricate. After using WD 40 I usually spray with light oil or spray grease depending on what needs lubricated. You should also never use WD40 near electrics.

    Galv chassis advice

    Hi Russell, you can get either a quarter chassis or a half chassis for the D2 depending on how bad your chassis is. Also change your profile to show where you are properly and someone on here could possibly recommend a nearby chassis repairer.

    Insurance

    Don't know a lot, but I should imagine your present company should advise you. Northern Ireland is still part of the UK. No idea about Eire, but someone with better knowledge will come along.

    Disco 2 Heated windscreen woes

    could also mean your windscreen has packed up. Seems to be quite common. I have power to each connector at each end of windscreen but screen does not work. Plenty of similar posts. Just a Disco thing.

    Emission s

    Tam I maybe wrong but did you not get an emission certificate with your last MOT? Whether that will suffice I don,t know but hopefully will know.

    Disco 2 Can anyone recommend a good source for a Key?

    Definitely go to Paul at discovery2parts. Completely new key, just to be cut and programmed for £40. Need a nanocom to programme the key and any good key cutter will fix the metal part, provided you have a template.

    Disco auto box

    Have to ask, did you use the proper procedure to change the oil? Engine running, go through the gears while topping up the oil. Better with two people, Top up the gearbox until it runs out the filler hole, with the engine running, and get the plug back in before you stop the engine. If you did...

    Disco 1 Rear Lights

    When I had my 1996 300 Tdi Disco,which was a jap reimport, I had 4 rear lights. Two in the bumper and two on the rear light assemblies. I recall seeing other Disco,s with the same. Always felt that the 4 rear lights was much safer.
