    After reading this article I have to agree 100% they are rising in price daily. I have a Disco 2 Td5 for sale, a snip at £31000 only 2,000,000 miles on the clock, though I think it may have been clocked. Truck weighs in at 4 tons, so I suspect it may have a few patches on the chassis. Don't miss...

    Tyres

    What does the fitting of "taller" tyres do to the speedo reading I wonder?.

    Starts, turn off, no start....

    Can't be much help I'm afraid, but my Disco Td5 winkers flash 3 times when locking the doors.

    Disco 2 Another Wee Bit Of Help Required. Re Auto Box Repair.

    Job sorted, bit of tweaking required, nowt else. Just to add, new glo plugs fitted and a new (to me) tailgate window, old one was marked by the wiper arm (last owner) and the heated element did not work, all good now. More brass spent, happy days. When will it end.

    Discovery 2 Td5 rear tailgate and glass.

    I have changed the rear glass in my Td5 as it was marked by the wiper arm and the heated glass did not work either. So before it goes to the tip, any one interested in collecting it, for free. Door is bare, no fittings on it, and the glass is with it, but not fitted. The door is in good nick...

    Disco 2 Another Wee Bit Of Help Required. Re Auto Box Repair.

    Ah so, it might just require a little adjustment of the Hi/Lo selector cable then. Thanks for that chaps, I will sleep easier tonight. The help is much appreciated.

    Disco 2 Another Wee Bit Of Help Required. Re Auto Box Repair.

    A couple or three times since having the auto box and torque converter repaired, I have a small (I hope) problem. I can pull on the drive after a run and all is well, gearbox and torque converter working fine. But on the next outing after starting the motor I can move the gear selector into...

    Bye bye Disco. See you soon?.

    Aye, it's a clean motor and was a joy to drive, until this disaster occured. Anyhow, got it back now, all's well, except for my pocket which is over 2k down, a lot of brass for a pensioner to stump up. I was shown the Torque Converter, the inner bearing had collapsed completely and smashed the...

    Bye bye Disco. See you soon?.

    Just testing if I have found out how to load pictures to the forum. Disco lifted from home and taken off to have its auto box and torque converter replaced. About a week to have the job done and dusted.

    Another Disco 2 with auto box problems.

    Aye, but I have only had it a couple of months. I did look on this forum as to changing the auto box oil and filter. Some say change them regularly, some say don't. It's a pain as I had the diff oils, engine oil and both oil filters and the diesel filter changed. It wouldn't have taken much more...

    Another Disco 2 with auto box problems.

    Disaster has occurred. All drive gone and more dash lights on than Blackpool has on its illuminations. It goes in on Monday for a suspected major fault in the auto box, and a faulty Torque converter. Price unknown until strip down is complete and faults assessed. I imagine it will be £...

    Another Disco 2 with auto box problems.

    We have had our 2004 Td5 auto a couple of months and thought I had it all sorted after throwing loads of money at it. How wrong can you be?. Been out this morning for the Paper and I suspect a major fault may be about to occur. (Just to add, the disco auto box has been stunning in operation, a...

    Discovery 2 TD5 Auto gearbox

    Had the two green lights come on, granted only a couple of times, and with them low power and no acceleration through the auto box (I thought it was limp home mode, but the lads on the forum told me it wasn't that, thanks again guys for your help). Had a new MAF fitted and EGR removed before a...

    Disco 2 A MAF problem, or not?.

    Update as promised. Just back from the 10 day tour of the Yorkshire Dales with the caravan in tow. Since having the EGR removed and the new MAF and Alive Tuning the Disco has not missed a beat. No twin green lights on, no loss of power in any way, no warning lights on the dash of any...

    Disco 2 A MAF problem, or not?.

    I was just looking to see if the MAF was in a working condition before l dropped the Disco off this morning. When I got to the garage this morning it had been broken Into during the night.The majority of the survey Lance cameras were disabled and the electricity coming into the building was...
