    got a new toy but broke it

    Suggest you clean and check the small Lucar connection to the starter motor. Small single (brown?) wire next to the gurt big battery connection under the front right hand side of the engine.

    Disco 2 ACE ARB

    Suggest you get yourself a copy of Rave if you haven't already. The anti roll bar link (the thin bar with the joint at each end) should be attached to the axle not waggling about in the breeze.

    disco not starting, please help!!!

    Looking at easy fixes; it might be worth checking the small wire on the starter motor is connected properly. It's called the Lucar connector in Rave, brown lead with a red trace.

    Off road course recommendations

    I had a days off road training at Northolt which is a bit nearer to you than Scotland. It was a present and I can't remember exactly which company it was but after a quick Google of "Land Rover Off Road Northolt" I think it was this one: All Terrain Services. The instructor knew his stuff, I...

    Might check under the rear carpet of mine - once you'd got the side bins out was it easy to get the carpet up?

    broken dowm non starter any ideas?

    So to complete the story: On Saturday morning we pulled up in the local fuel station mini supermarket, tried to restart the Disco and whilst I had lights, fuel, could hear the fuel pump and various relays clicking and whirring the starter motor wasn't turning over. Turned it all off and on again...

    Disco 2 radiator / intercooler removal

    Hi Mike. You need to remove the intercooler to remove the radiator. Have you got a copy of Rave? I did mine using that and it wasn't too bad to do. The pipe in the photo of your other thread looked more like a power steering or air con pipe, if I recall correctly the pipes on the rad and...

    Discovery 2 TD5

    Sorry, think it was 32 mm but I can't be certain. I bought one of these socket sets for a bit under £40. Not top class quality but fine for the job.
