    Discovery 2 rattly caliper

    So while driving today I head a rattle when hitting a bump. Laid under the car and discovered i can move the brake caliper and recreate the metallic noise. I can do this both sides but one is worse than the other. Caliper bolts are tight and so are the carrier bolts. Would I be right in...

    Td5 Discovery 2 Cooling down

    So went out laning yesterday. Car got to temperature on the road and then when laning the temperature on the gauge dropped.

    Discovery 2 grease UJ

    Can anyone tell me what grease nipples are needed to grease props on a disco 2? I see that you need to remove grub screws to do it but not sure what thread etc is needed to install a grease nipple.

    Inner wing repair

    So my discovery 2 needs the inner wing welder and some of the bulkhead/floor where the loom is. I'm going to tackle it myself and I found one thread with pictures but does anyone else have pictures of their repairs?

    Clarke welder

    Hopefully this isn't in the wrong section, my discovery 2 needs the inner wing, body mount and an outrigger welding. I'm going to pick up a welder 2nd hand, I'm a complete newbie to welding but am not afraid to learn. I've found a clarke 135te on Facebook, would this be powerful enough for...

    Td5 tensioner recommendation

    I need to replace the aux belt and tensioner on my td5 disco. What brands would people recommend? Genuine tensioner isn't horrendous money but I've seen a SNR one advertised as OEM. I'll get a dayco belt.

    Discovery 2 front drive shaft leak

    So I changed my ball joints at the weekend one side and I had to remove and install the shaft a couple times due to the tapers on the ball joint not allowing the knuckle to sit correctly. I can only assume I've disturbed the seal as its now leaking after a test drive. Local land rover...
