    Disco 2 Td5 NEW OWNER...Water Pump Problems

    If yours is a 2003 as you say, it almost certainly is the 15P engine. You can confirm this by seeing if it has the EGR cooler across the front of the engine and the later FPR with the return from the cylinder head. The actual hp doesn't matter, apart from some minor differences they are...

    Disco 2 New Idler Pulley Play

    This is another part that it is worth replacing with an original LR item. They usually last at least 100k miles, (replaced mine at 120k, as it was squeaking when cold), so worth the money IMO.

    Disco 2 Td5 NEW OWNER...Water Pump Problems

    It still looks like the area of the water pump. When the bearing in the water pump goes it leaks through a drain hole underneath. You need to look harder and from underneath and from the nearside to ascertain exactly where it is coming from.

    Petrol in Deisel tank!

    As said, mineral two stroke, 250ml to a full tank, works great. It noticeably improves consumption and response, as well as emissions. I run it a lot. Cheapest is from Screwfix.......

    Disco 2 Steering column linkage

    Once you've changed it, (surprised you have to) remember to keep it greased, spray grease is ideal. If you don't the steering gets stiff and the UJ's will wear as a result, (presumably what has happened to you)....

    Amber ACE light when first starting

    +1, mine sometimes does this. Removing and replacing the electrical connections to the various components on the block seems to resolve it, in my case anyway..

    Deweb or no deweb, that is the question

    When I did mine I drilled cylinders 1 and 5 out to 10mm on the manifold, but left the others. It is almost always 1 and 5 that break due to warping, and I did deweb, firstly with a disc cutter, then a grinder. Also billybones, if you have the manifold off, I strongly recommend replacing all the...

    TD5 Transmission problems

    The recommendation is for two oil changes, as you can only get about half the ATF out when draining. Strongly suggest that you get them to change the filter and refill, using the correct procedure, (engine running and run through the gears whilst still filling), and then after some miles a...

    Disco 2 Td5 Rad.

    If you do choose to blank it, rather than the VERY expensive blanking plug, try finding a silicon one such as here; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402751885330?hash=item5dc5e21012:g:PusAAOSwwlVgUJle

    Disco 2 Tracking Down Oil Leaks

    They are correct, it is unusual, not sure about unlikely, that the rear camshaft seal is leaking. Suggest as before get a mirror on a stick, preferably with led's and get rid of the silly sound insulating pad that covers it. Then with the mirror you will be able to see clearly where the leak...

    Disco 2 Tracking Down Oil Leaks

    Never had to do it in situ, only when I did the head gasket recently, but I have heard that it can be done without too much trouble. I believe you have to puncture and lever the old one out, then using a small block of wood and a lever of some sort, you press the new one in. They are not hard...
