    Disco 2 TC question- stuck in the mud!

    here is the "budget" version of it:), surely not as robust but much cheaper and could help.... Also good on ice.

    Disco 2 TC question- stuck in the mud!

    I also have GG ATs on my car and even with properly working CDL I had to be recovered a few months ago from wet grass (I parked on a slight slope with wet muddy grass and did not matter what I did just slipped sideways until the left back wheel finally totally stacked in mud). To be honest I...

    Disco 2 Engine oil cooler

    I think we are both right as I just recognized one big difference in my, Fery's and your case. Our car is LHD and yours is RHD. So we do not have much space to work around the turbo, this is why I found the bended wrench very useful:-) And also tried to access from underneath before...

    Disco 2 Engine oil cooler

    First I tried this also from underneath but no chance, broken after some harder attempt. Even with the above bended wrenches first I needed also "help of a hummer" :) But if you have already a decat downpipe which has smaller flexible connection then you can better access it from underneath...

    Disco 2 Engine oil cooler

    Hi Fery I also removed the turbo 2x and no issue. Only problem was to remove the exhaust from the turbo as it is quite difficult to access the nuts. I purchased a specially shaped tool (like attached) as I remember size 15 which also makes the other turbo nuts (manifold to turbo) removal easier...

    Disco 2 Transmission Box Leak

    do you mean from here (red circled)? If yes it could also be engine oil as mentioned above. I had some in this area coming from back side of valve cover. But yes it also can be gearbox oil coming from input shaft oil seal. Does it leaking it lot? Can it be seen on the floor under the car?

    Head liner re cover

    I was thinking about this option before I done mine also on the traditional way. I got an offer for it which was around 200pounds which sounds quite OK, the problem was that they asked for a removed headlining which meant extra "logistic" cost and fully cleaned surface otherwise they could not...

    Disco 2 2004 disco. TD5 fan belt

    I had the same problem with Dayco. Definitely longer than the original one (and seems thinner). When I used it I also had squeak. I removed it and use the old one which is still in good condition and put the Dayco as spare. Maybe I will also try Conti...

    Disco 2 D2 reversing sensor

    Yes, in the meanwhile i have also found that a PDC and a switch would be needed. If I am lucky I could get them for about 50 pounds... But still question if the sensors in the bumper are all good? Do you think it can work with the Valeo unit what i have in my car (normally i would just change...

    Disco 2 D2 reversing sensor

    Hi all Unfortunatelly my car has damaged a few days ago in a parking place as someone hit it from the back while reversing out from her parking place. The rear bumper, finisher and the wing have broken. Even the insurance company will pay (should cover full cost) probably I will get much less as...

    Installed today the BGA pump. Running fine! Seems to be good quality, was prefilled with oil, inspection report attached, I will see:-)

    Disco 2 Britpart XS OEM?

    Thanks for your answer, but already ordered and will get it tomorrow. Anyway, I will see, at least I have 12 months warranty and purchased from a local car part supplier who I know is reliable. If it fails I will take it back:) To be honest I have tried to find other alternatives, but seems that...

    Disco 2 Britpart XS OEM?

    I plan to change my PS pump and one LR part dealer offers OEM pump which is BritpartXS. They also have standard Britpart and an OEM which is Britpart XS (about 15 pounds more). Anyone has an idea about its quality? I am ready to pay more as I want to do it once but right.

    Disco 2 Leaking steering pump.

    My pump is also leaking and probably it makes the whining noise as well when I turn the wheel. It is hard to really make sure that it is the pump but I have already checked everything and there is no any leak around the pump. If I take a look from the wheel arch it looks that the bottom the pump...

    Groaning / Vibration

    the vibration in my case was quite constant and between 2500-3000rpm. But I guess there are not exactly same symptoms as all issues can be different as the possible reasons (like brake parts or other possible suspect parts) surely slightly different.
