    rear spring conversion or not?

    It came with those tyres, previous owner did not go off roading but he was a caravan club sort and had these tyres so he didn't get stuck apparently. I'm not looking to go off road either so looking into getting a full set of alloys with road tyres so i can easy switch back when the bad weather...

    rear spring conversion or not?

    Just want opinions on whether its worth doing... YET!!! My 2001 D2 TD5 is well looked after (only had it 5 days) chassis is mint, it's still on air suspension which is working great, no leaks does what it should.. my thoughts are wait until the airbags start to give me issues if at all and THEN...

    Other what have u done on ur disco today

    So owned my D2 TD5 for 5 days now and totally in love.. Having given her a good going over i noticed there was a very slight oil leak from the front of the engine somewhere.. Investigating I found the camshaft seal was the culprit,, "see pic if you don't know what that is" I know these are just...

    EGR delete, but is this a P10, or a P15/16

    OK bit of Youtube searching and i found a video that shows leaving the EGR water cooler in place and just remove the 2 metal flexi pipes... i do have wrong kit because correct kit has 2 extra blanks for the EGR cooler pipe.. Question, why not just remove the one flexi pipe from the EGR valve to...

    Hi all, I recently got a gorgeous D2 TD5 2001.. I ordered an EGR delete kit which arrived today.. looking forward to spending saturday morning tinkering and fitting the kit.. but i read earlier that there are different TD5 engines and that from around 2002 they went from P10 to P15 engines which...

    Welding

    Thanks guys really really good points... especially the points about a small job growing arms and legs and being blamed for failure.. have done many restoration jobs in the past and despite trying to way up a job best you can before agreeing to take it on, plans don't always work out.. I will...

    Welding

    No I was thinking as a weekend maybe evening type thing.. also I can't understand some of the chassis repair jobs i have seen in the past.. like patchwork quilts some of them there are so many bits of plate... if the rear section has some welding needed why not just have pre-made plates already...

    Welding

    I just bought a 2001 D2 TD5.. I wanted one that was cheap because it needed welding.. That might sound a bit crazy to some but I'm a welding instructor so for me an easy job. Irony struck and I ended up getting a gorgeous D2 which has been waxoiled every year and has a mint chassis.. not a bad...

    Disco 2 Traction control issue

    Weak dampeners sounds right to me, it is what i was suspecting of as the wheel bouncing due to lack of dampening from a bad shock would cause the ecu to mistake for wheel slip, suporting this is the fact it only does this when i go over a bump accelerating not when coasting.. its not wheel...
