    Disco 2 Steering box replacement

    Only advice I can offer was when mine let go in a similar style, I had a LR specialist replace it (not as confident DIY back then) I had a couple of options, but took one with a 2 year warranty. I think it was “remanufactured”. 18 months later when that one went, my specialist covered the...

    Spent a very satisfying couple of hours using a bodywork scratch removal kit on the centre console wood trim varnish, totally removed the "haze" of umpteen scratches from keys, pens etc. so now you can actually see the wood and not just the scratches. Not vital, doesn't go any faster, still...

    OK, so not strictly a major problem, but I want to refinish the wood trim around the gear leaver and window switches. Anyone know how this is held in place? Are there any hidden fixings? Many thanks,

    Disco 2 Headliner removal Video

    You could try this, it’s retated to sunroof repair, but covers the headlining removal. I used it when I removed mine and fixed leaks and recovered the headlining. Can’t take any credit for the authorship.

    Disco 2 ACE Pressure Transducer - Replacement Question

    So, as I often read these threads and feel cheated when there is no “conclusion”... I thought I’d just say thank you to all the above forum members, and after the purchase of a 27mm deep socket, some ingenious application of wobble bars, extensions and joints, the old transducer was removed...

    @HasisD - it’s lovely when things make a difference isn’t it? Interesting re the tramlining on the motorway / A-Road ruts.... I have some “lively” moments in mine when it appears to take its own path of travel, especially when pulling into the overtaking lane and then back. I’ve got the...
