    Disco 2 Discovery 2 td5 crank pulley sheared

    Can you possibly weld something onto the remaining bit to hold it with while you undo the nut?

    Disco 2 engine blowing cold

    The two pipes go through the bulkhead one beside the other just to the rear left of the engine as you stand looking under the bonnet, they are rubber hoses. It still sounds a bit like an air lock. Go out in it, get it really hot and do a fast drive 70mphish(!!) and hopefully that will blow any...

    Disco 2 Another ACE Question

    Not sure where Fery got his figure of £50 from, best to ask him, but to drill the valve block I believe is about £80, I am told by others, although this does seem a lot of money for a bit of milling and drilling....I will be finding out myself when I get it done......... In the meantime you...

    Disco 2 Another ACE Question

    If you've only got a foot of pipe left and the rest is hose, why not do what many have done and get the valve block drilled and tapped to take hydraulic fittings and then get short lengths of hydraulic hose made up to join up to the existing hoses? Many are doing it. There are detailed...

    **CORRECT SIZE D2 FRONT DRIVE SHAFT SEALS**

    Guys, ****CORRECT SIZE D2 FRONT DRIVE SHAFT OIL SEALS FOR SALE**** As many of you will be aware there is a problem with D2 front drive shaft seals, as they all appear to be the wrong size. This includes genuine LR, ****part, Bearmach, Allmakes etc. I have the only ones that appear to be...

    Disco 2 engine blowing cold

    Some are a pain to get all the air out of properly, sometimes a good fast drive does the trick and removes an airlock... Its a land rover, what can I say.....:):)

    Disco 2 engine blowing cold

    Over a certain speed the car will blow fresh, cold air in through the dash vents, but hot onto the floor, they are supposed to. Not sure if this is what you are referring to, otherwise as said check the heater matrix pipes to ensure they are hot as they disappear from the rear of the bonnet...

    Exhaust manifold studs

    I think many have found that these are the best to use, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-TD5-UPRATED-WURTH-MANIFOLD-STUDS-X10-AND-COPPER-NUTS-X10/302626827843?epid=708370218&hash=item4675f6ee43:g:K1cAAMXQgJRQ-G~U stainless is too soft. It also helps to open out the last two port stud...

    Disco 2 Fault Codes (?)

    Just part of my signature Brian.......same as on another more dedicated Discovery 2 forum, where many have discovered that they are the only ones that don't leak, as all the others, genuine LR, ***part, Bearmach etc are all it seems the wrong size. At least when yours leak you know where to...

    Disco 2 Fault Codes (?)

    andy85, IMO you are better off with a Nanocom Evo, although a Hawkeye is better for diagnosing issues with the ACE system I believe, but for live data, reading and saving, changing settings, turning things on and off, a Nano will do all this, and importantly give you fault details. As for...

    Disco 2 engine mounts- 2nd opinion

    Changing engine mounts will make quite a noticeable difference. Those in the pic above are completely fu'bard. The only way is with genuine LR as there are reports other non-genuine ones are made differently inside, as they should contain oil IIRC. The cheapest genuine ones are here I think...

    2003 td5 auto questions

    M & S lights will show if battery is low, as said. If battery is DEFINITELY ok, then it is the XYZ switch which controls the lights on the autobox selector. The problem with them is water ingress, as the aircon drain on the nearside is directly above this switch, most have re-directed this...

    new to all things landy

    Ian, In relation to your auto gearbox dilemma, it sounds very much as if somebody has been playing with a Nanocom or Hawkeye and may have inadvertently set it as a manual rather than an auto. You need to get it plugged in and check that it shows it as an auto. Mine was exactly the same when...
