It could be. However I never had problems with greasing motorbike and the prop shaft. If it was a poor nozzle would it not struggle on all?

Having bought my Disco 2, I am determined to do as much work on it myself as possible. I have posted a couple of threads and would like to thank everyone for their help. Today, I thought it would be a good idea to grease the UJs and prop shafts. The UJ has a grease nipple and when I tried...

Thanks, James That makes sense. Still have issue with a noise that increases with engine speed. It sounds like something rubbing but nothing is. I do wonder if it is the water pump.

Have now replaced auxillary belt and noise still there. Following Griffs suggestion, suddenly remembered noise started after changing oil and filters. Bolt on rotary oil filter was not biting. Bought a longer bolt and this tightened up no problem. If it is rotary oil filter, what would the issue be?

Tried putting old belt back on and it was so tight. Wondered if it was in fact wrong belt. Phoned the auto parts where I bought replacement belt from. Asked them to check the system as to what size it should be. Came back that original belt was correct size. Why couldn't they have done that in...

You are quite right, it did have a number on it. Wrong one supplied. Returned, refund and now going to order from LR parts specialist. Lesson learnt

I did tell them it did not have ACE or AC. The old one was incredibly tight. I think I will put the old one back on and order from a local Landry parts centre. Don't want to take chance. Should they be really tight?

I went to the local car parts. It is a Draco and is the same width. How would I know if it is the right one?

Thanks for all of the replies. I ended up buying two spanners, one for the 3 bolts and one for the fan. Did the job in 30 seconds. Need help with the auxillary belt. Removed old belt. New belt has same number of grooves but is longer. The old belt was incredibly tight. Can I use the longer...

I'm no tyre expert. I have BFG on mine. Replaced front 2 after about 50k and the rear 2 are still going strong. I mainly do road miles and find these superb. I know that if required, they will go almost anywhere.

I have now looked at the manual and it would appear that replacing the water pump is quite complicated. I have to remove the underbelly tray (a nightmare job), centrifuge oil drain pipe and turbo. An absolute pain. Does anyone have any shortcuts?

That's great. Thank you.

I have done a search for the uk edition. Cannot locate one. Lots of people complaining they have the NAS. Some suggest links. When I click on these, no longer available. Is anyone able to suggest a link?

Thanks. i don't have AC. Do I need to remove anything? I can't find the workshop manual online. Is it worth investing in Haynes?

my mechanical knowledge is limited. However I want to learn more and the best way is to attempt some of the jobs on the Disco. At the weekend, I will change the auxillary belt and will check the water pump bearings. I have a workshop manual and it only shows the cooling system for the v8. I...

I did wonder that. However, I couldn't get a socket onto the tensioner in order to release and remove belt.

Thanks for the replies. Due to the fan, I do not see how to access the bolts securing it. Can anyone point me in the direction of a picture that shows how the fan is fixed?

As you look at spanner on the fan, to the left.

I am trying to replace my auxiliary belt. I have bought a fan spanner, although just about sticks out above fan. Hit the spanner with a hammer and the pulley moves. I have looked at a couple of videos online and they show a simple hit and the fan comes off. Does anyone have a simple method? Do I...
