    Discovery 2 2004 HSE find radio code (before disconnecting the battery)

    Just checked, mine is definitely a *4* digit code and it is the R990 radio, which I think is the same as yours, “top of the range” at the time. I have disconnected the battery since and the code in the manual is the correct one!!

    Discovery 2 2004 HSE find radio code (before disconnecting the battery)

    +1 ^ it’s the way I did it when I first got mine. I found the radio code scribbled in the handbook and also the EKA code. You can’t change the radio code as you can the EKA.

    D2 TD5 Firing before in crank position

    From the ignition switch, it goes through fuse 23 in the IDM. From there it goes to the engine bay fuse box and is connected to the starter relay. There appear to be no other connections so it should be fairly easy to trace. Good luck.

    Brake problem , advice needed

    Worth opening a bleed nipple or 2 to see if there is pressure in the system. About the only thing common to all 4 wheels. Master cylinder seized? Good luck.

    Help needed looking to by my first landrover

    It's worth checking the MOT history. I didn't bother with some which had a history of chassis patches when I bought mine.

    Disco 2 Pipe unscrewed itself from FPR

    Hello All, So, in the storm on Saturday I set out cross country in the truck. After about 45 minutes it seemed it was using far more diesel than normal. While I was thinking about whether the gauge was faulty or just the terrible conditions, I could see the fuel gauge falling and it was...

    Disco 2 TD5 Low Fuel pressure!!

    Well, that won’t help! Let’s hope you have solved it.

    Disco 2 TD5 Low Fuel pressure!!

    That's a difficult one. The fuel pressure from the HP side of the pump to your pressure gauge should all be the same at 4 bar, give or take a smidgen for flow resistance in the pipes. There is a bit of a clue here, that you are measuring about 17mV across the fuse, which, see post #10, should...

    Disco 2 TD5 Low Fuel pressure!!

    If both gauges are showing the same pressure, it would be very unlikely they are faulty in exactly the same way. You have changed the pump and it’s the same. I would say it’s more likely the FPR is faulty, even though it was replaced a month ago. Just my opinion. Cheers.

    Fault code 0753 Solenoid 1 valve?

    Yes, you can see it from underneath. I wrapped mine with “spiral wrap”, as an extra covering in that area before it actually damaged the loom.

    Fault code 0753 Solenoid 1 valve?

    Well done! Was that one of the wires in the loom near the P clip?

    Disco 2 Crank speed high

    Thank you for that, that’s useful information. When checking to see if the connector was properly seated, it seems the wiring was quite rigid.

    Disco 2 Crank speed high

    Hi, Today I was tracking the cause of an oil leak (probably rocker cover gasket) and gave the area thorough dousing with brake cleaner to get rid of all the oily mess so I could see the leak. Most oil was at the rear FPR side of the engine which got most brake cleaner, and all over the bell...

    Disco 2 TD5 white smoke at idle

    Before going down the really expensive route, have you changed the injector seals? They are normally associated with poor starting but can cause all sorts of issues. It’s a quick and cheap job.

    Disco 2 TD5 Mahle oil filter

    Thank you. Hopefully there is enough German in the filter to be OK. It looks well enough made. I've always used Mann for the rotary, but this time it has Made in UK on it. We'll see!

    Disco 2 TD5 Mahle oil filter

    Hi All, It's oil change time again, at half the LR recommended interval. I ordered the 2 filters from one of the well know suppliers, Mann for the rotary and Mahle for the cartridge one. I thought the Mahle was a good quality German item but it has "Made in China" on both the box and the...

    Disco 2 Discovery 2 immobilised

    On mine, if you unlock using the key, the alarm goes off when you open the door. I always lock using the key. Seems someone may have changed the "factory settings". As the red light on the fob is working, it is trying to transmit, it could be the RF receiver in the roof, just forward of the...
