    Cat removal

    Unfortunately on disco 2 the vin had either a 8 or 9 in the number denoting if it came with a cat fitted from factory, let's hope mot testers don't use this fact.

    New mot rules

    It's easy to tell whether a disco 2 came out of the factory with a cat fitted by checking the vin. The 8th digit is either a 8 for cat fitted or 9 for no cat fitted, as per Rave CD. Whether mot testers will use or know this depends on individual testers I suppose. EGR valve missing is a fail. No...

    Discovery 2 td5 2002 egr advice

    Thanks for all the replies guys. Looking at engine cover I can see the blanking plate visible so mot tester would be able to see without removing it. Might either refit egr and leave it not working with blank plate fitted inline or extend engine cover with a bit cut from from plastic steering...

    Sunroof Leaks Sealant Advice

    I can strongly recommend sikaflex 221,295 or 296 uv. I work building superyachts and use all of the above products, either general sealing/sticking with 221 or 295/296 to stick windows in with. As the boats withstand all sorts of conditions at sea, they are not going to leak with British rain...

    hi all

    Thanks for the hello Lisbeth and v8geoff. Well looks like I need some new bumper clips after reversing into a rather large boulder on the moors over the weekend. Luckily the only damage seems to be a loose corner trim. Lucky this time.

    Hi to everyone on here. Just a quick hello. I'm the proud owner of a 02 (since December 2015 ) discovery 2 td5 GS. 83k miles and one previous owner who had full supplying dealership service history ( obviously more money than sense ). It even went to dealer for new trim clips to be fitted ...
