    Disco 2 Overheating again, eh?

    You need to pressure test the coolant system to see if it is losing pressure, if it is check for external leaks, if none then you probably have internal cracked head/injector sleave which can be confirmed with a sniff test.

    Refurbed Steering Box leaking after 6 month

    I've never known any parts warranties to cover labour costs unfortunately. If the garage had supplied the part then you may have been covered by them but no garage will cover labour for own supplied parts.

    Vanishing coolant

    A common water leak on the TD5 is the screw in plug behind the centre of the exhaust manifold, this evaporates as it leaks out.

    Ouch, does that not need a completely new chassis?

    Seats

    I put some leather Recaros in my first Defender and hated them, the high side supports of the sport seat made it very awkward getting in and out so I soon reverted back to standard seats and never felt the need to upgrade in all my other Defenders thereafter.

    Disco 2 HELP

    TD5 or V8, sounds like you've blocked an oil gallery to the rocker shaft IMHO.

    Why won’t it sell

    That might apply to solid side vans but the 110 SW as in this case is much more sought-after and fetches a premium over the 90 SW.

    Why won’t it sell

    Got to disagree IMHO 110's always fetch stronger £s

    Flat Bed Disco 2 Project

    That was a break in the wiring loom from the pump on mine some where mid chassis, one of the small 2 wires (4 wires , 2 thick, 2 thin). Later the other thin wire went too and the amber light went out also. I spliced 2 new wires in near the filter at one end and under the front N/S inner wing...

    Defender 1989 2.5TD 19J engine smoking issue

    Surely that's a worn piston ring symptom not HG and only a problem if excessively breathing??

    Land Rover price rises

    You need to get over this hankering for a bit of luxury and being able to drive comfortably without having your arm out of the window and keep your beloved Defender !

    Discovery 2 ATF COOLER PIPE

    You're going to have to line it up better than that to get it started, you're going in at the wrong angle there. Follow the advice of Stanley above.

    Disco 2 TD5 head gasket Matting surfaces .. how clean?

    I wouldn't use any sort of power tool as you'll get low dips , just a good razor blade scraper and some fine emery roll by hand.
