Thanks for the responses guys, i will start with the wheel balancing first then will look at the disks. Hope that's all it is, also have to grease the UV's on prop shafts as don't know when they were last done. It's a Landmark not Pursuit Thanks Andy from Hull

1 Fitted new bias plate and springs to gear stick as it was sitting over 1st and 2nd position. can easily select all gears now. 2 Lubed up the 3rd row seat cables and joints, a lot easier to set up now. 3 Checked the injector harness for oil, all good. 4 Purchased a new rear exhaust section only...

Morning all, Not posted for a while due a change of email address and not being able to log on. After a year of owning another car due to last discovery's chassis being toootally rotten so scrapped, i have happily possibly foolishly purchased anther Discovery TD5, it's a Landmark edition so is...

Put even more fuel in it! Andy Hull

Hi guys, wasn't going to post until Monday to be sure but I am sure so will post. I disconnected the Maf meter and have done a load of running about. So, there's literally no smoke now unless I boot it and then you do get some black smoke but no where as much as before. It's not as quick as it...

I get it guys :D Just need to try what's been advised and if that doesn't sort it i may have to do a bit of begging on here to see whose local to me with a nonocom Andy

I was born Anlaby road and grew up Endike lane/Calvert lane, im in Sutton now. It is a 15p engine as it says on the V5 I was going to use isopropanol alchohol or brake cleaner to clean them both. Hope these are ok yo use? Andy

I do have paperwork to prove it was them, and there was a sticker form them on the car too which i removed. I will follow Sierrafery's suggestions and if unsuccessful will contact Empire tuning. Thanks for the reply Stanleysteame, i've been looking on the net myself after being given...

As far as i am aware Empire tuning is a reputable company? Siarrafery, i will try all your suggestions and see if any of them make a difference, thanks for your constructive suggestions. Andy

Many thanks for your reply sierrafery, I will unplug the MAF sensor and run it on my way home and see if it's any better. If not i will check the hoses for splits or delamination. I believe it's Empire tuning. Andy

Morning all, I have a new to me 2004 Discovery TD5 manual, It's had a stage 1 remap and had the cat and EGR valve removed. My question/issue is when under any any acceleration it kicks out loads of black smoke and under heavy acceleration i you cant see behind as there's so much. No lack of...

Got round to fitting the bias plate on Monday which went quite easily to be honest, only had to remove the first plate and had easy access to replace the plate which had snapped completely off. I can get all gears nicely now without guessing where 3rd and 4th are. So, last night on the way home...

Replaced the gear stick centering plate and springs, i can now select 3rd and 4th with ease. Also replaced the rubber bung that caps off the pipe that's under the turbo with a nice new silicone one so no mere weeping coolant. Andy

Morning all, My new to me Discovery 2 has water coming in at the top right and is wetting the headliner and dripping onto my right leg when it rains. It also has a tiny bit of rust all the way along the top of the windscreen rubber. - Firstly is there an easy way to cure the rust issue -...

How come this thread has stopped, Loved reading and seeing the pictures Andy

That's the very one, many thanks buddy Andy

Morning everyone, Where is the link to the guy who has a website with a blue discovery where he goes through his discovery 2 build and repairs all sorts of different things . Bit vague i know but found it very helpful

So not a big thing but fitted 5 new dust covers to my tyre valves! Have ordered a new silicone oil cooler plug as the current one looks like the original one and is weeping slightly but if it fails it can lead to a catastrophic coolant loss and engine over heat and head gasket failure bit...

Sorry not been on for a while so have generally forgot to give all the info required. It's a 2004 discovery Landmark Td5 Manual. 253,000 miles and has service history up tp 2018. Has a stage 1 remap and has been de-catted. It has a checker plate bonnet cover which i am removing and getting rid...

It's a 2004. Got a bad oil leak so that's my first job to try to locate and eliminate. Andy
