    Back Again after a Year off

    Just looked on line and a new cat is about £100 and a second hand/used £70 so not too worried about that. Got a friend who gets MOT's done with realistic expectations for a vehicle this age and type as he MOT's farmers vehicles. He adds plenty of advisory's but won't let anything unsafe go...

    Back Again after a Year off

    The compressor is still there and the level sensors too but not sure what else. So would you leave it de catted then? It sits nice and level on the springs but i liked the ability to lift it when going across fields when fishing. Andy

    Back Again after a Year off

    Morning all, I'm not sure if I've made a mistake but I've gone and bought another discovery 2 TD5 after going from driving a Discover 2 with a rotten rear chassis and having to scrap it to driving a Ford Fusion (granny car) for a year. This one is a Landmark edition and am so pleased as it's...

    Sad Day

    it's on Gumtree now, just posted but no pics. It's a lovely car apart from the rear chassis runs smooth no bangs or clunks from gear box and strats instantly on the key. no body rot at all.

    Sad Day

    yes, rotten around the body, airbag and shock mounts both sides. The guy who did my welding last year deals only with landrovers and he said he would scrap it as it will need the fuel tank out and all sorts of new chassis parts to fit.

    Sad Day

    Air con

    Hi all, Hope you are all well! As we are having an actual Summer this year i find that just having the windows down is no longer enough to stop the moans from the passengers in the car. My aircon hasn't worked since i got the car so my question is....... What are the most common causes of...

    What mileage is your Disco 2 on?

    Says that Waxoyl is water repelant (forces moisture out) and stops old rust and prevents new, It's the one in the yellow can! Also not had any rain here in Hull for several weeks so chassis/rear arches are bone dry inside and out (chassis) Andy Hull

    209000

    Hi Just a quick one, Would you say that there is much life left in a discovery td5 2004 with 209000 on the clock? Starts first turn and no rattles or clunks and the rear chassis needs minimal welding. Thanks Andy

    Tappety sound when reving and screaching

    Hi guys, My disco 2004 Td5 has a tapping noise! It's quiet on tick over but when i rev it it makes a tapping noise increasing with the revs, (not ticking) It seems accelerator related so when accelerating it does it, although if i lift the accelerator even at speed it stops as the revs fall...

    My new Disco 2

    Hi Bud, It doesn't move to be honest, stays the same height all the time. If i pump it up it goes up and then settles back to the same height every time so not sure if it's the camera angle? Have noticed though that when i stop and put the hand brake on that i can rock the car back and forth...

    Discovery 2 Td5 Oil

    Morning all, Does it matter what oil quality goes in a Td5 engine? What i mean is, is it ok to put Asda or Wilkinsons fully synthetic oil in or is it better to put Castrol or Mobil in? And what's the difference? Thanks in advance guys Andy
