    Disco 2 MOT fail, front body mount

    ^^ thank you +^^ A good starting point. If only that plate at the bottom of the wheel arch wasn’t there, this would be fairy easy. I did wonder about cutting it out and welding it back in later, but that’s another set of problems…

    Disco 2 MOT fail, front body mount

    Thank you! I can see a few tool purchases coming up. Need to switch off the “SWMBO radar” first!

    Disco 2 MOT fail, front body mount

    Thanks! I think this would be my preferred solution, but it took me by surprise as this is the only rust on the body/chassis and I’ve always concentrated on the rear doors backwards not really expecting the front half to rust, apart from the well known bits, inner wings etc. The tester said a...

    Disco 2 MOT fail, front body mount

    Hi All Well, the Disco failed the MOT a rusty front (O/S) body mount. Photo below. The rest of the car is pretty rust free, even according to the MOT tester. The MOT garage don't do welding, but the tester said it could be patched, so I brought the car home to do some investigating thinking...

    Discovery 2 2002 high low range issue

    Don’t think so, it’s a manual, but I wait to be corrected!

    immoboliser issues.....

    You are very welcome and I was only repeating what I've learned on here over the years. And thank you for letting us know the outcome, so often it just goes quiet and we don't know if the car was fixed or scrapped!

    +1 ^^^ I would say 5, 10, 11, 9 is the EKA, if it hasn't been changed.

    immoboliser issues.....

    The EKA code could be 4 figure, but could be longer, for example mine is like 10 11 5 9 which I would call 4 numbers but 6 digits. This is getting complicated. My EKA code was scribbled in the back of the handbook as EKA, and I checked it later using the Nanocom diagnostics. I've attached...

    immoboliser issues.....

    Welcome! Many owners change the EKA code to something that is easy to enter, like 1 1 1 1 etc as code entry can be error prone. I assume by a number of key turns you mean in the driver's door lock? Did you hear the "beep" at the beginning and end of the sequence? If you have tried to enter...

    Disco 2 Sun roofs won't open

    Mine do this from time to time. Sometimes the rear one opens when I start the engine, sometimes it just tilts, sometimes the front, sometimes the rear closes in stages and sometimes the switch reverses - open=close, close=open! There seems to be no logic to it, hot cold wet or dry, it's...

    TD5 no start and C0573 fusebox connector ?!

    That does sound like "air" past the injector seals. They are worth doing anyway. There are good examples of injector removal tools here, if you have not seen it already: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/td5-injector-removal.329268/

    TD5 no start and C0573 fusebox connector ?!

    That is really confusing. There do not seem to be enough wires in your C0573, but it is a bit difficult to see. Also, the page from the Electrical Library showing C0573 seems "wrong" (not unusual) as there is no pin1 and 2 x pin 11s!! Perhaps the expert @sierrafery can give an opinion here...

    Disco 2 TD5 - Heater Blowing Cold

    Agreed! The return from the heater matrix flows through the fuel cooler so your fuel would have been a bit hot!

    TD5 no start and C0573 fusebox connector ?!

    Welcome! Did you mean C0573? C0537 is in the headlamp. But, C0573-2 is only used in North American specification vehicles and does not appear on the European wiring diagrams. Edit - just noticed the thread heading is C0573... Have the injector seals, particularly the copper ones, been...

    Good luck. The box is normally OK. Cheers.

    Disco td5 auto box cooling pipes

    No problem! I only replaced the l/h side. It seems it is only the l/h that fails, possibly because it is the "hot" side, but I did buy enough pipe to do both sides and make some mistakes! I looked closely at the r/h side and it seemed fine, ie, the pipe and swaging was at the "collar" and not...

    Disco td5 auto box cooling pipes

    I reused the bayonet fixing on the pipe to the cooler. The pipe from the box to the rubber pipe is no problem. I did consider fitting directly to the cooler but the new flexible pipe wouldn't easily fit over the "clip retaining collar" on the cooler and I didn't think there would be enough...

    Disco td5 auto box cooling pipes

    Welcome to the mad house! I had the same problem back in March. It always seems to be the left hand side as this is the high temperature flow to the cooler, except in lockup when the pressure increases and the flow reverses. The flexible pipe on mine was quite perished, so I am thinking the...
