Thanks MartinK :) I really should be able to change the pads - I used to work in Girlings making the big truck hydraulic caliper assemblies, lol!! But it's been so long now, and I don't have a tidy jack, or a level area, or stuff like that, and to be honest, I wouldn't trust my inexperience on...

vivnap - mine are the vented ones, but looks like I can get my set for £45 delivered from that site, so getting better all the time - thanks! BRAKEKIT5 Front Discs and Pads Kit - Disco 2 EDIT: Just found this: Mail Order 4x4 Discovery 2 Brake Kits (Pads & Discs) And my VIN number...

Found some cheaper ones here from MM Independent Land Rover Specialists: Front Disc and Pad Kit Discovery TD5 4 0 £55 delivered. I haven't found any quite as cheap as the ones you saw though, robint! Tony S - just looked on kwikfit's website, and the lifetime guarantee is only on the pads, not...

Hi guys, I need to change the front brakes on my 2002 facelift Disco Td5. Garage quoted £210. Having a quick look on ebay, I found several sets for around £65 delivered: £54 + £9 p&p £53.50 + £9 p&p £50 + £15 p&p Is the £210 truly extortionate then, or are the ebay sets crap? I can't do it...

See that's exactly what I was worried about :mad::mad: Arggh, it's so frustrating having to go through all that when all I want to do is make more space! Someone also said I'd have to notify the DVLA to get the car reclassified, which sounds ridiculous! I guess the easiest thing to do is ask...

I want to take the rear seats (not 3rd row) out of my 52 plate Disco to give myself more room. Will it fail the MOT on this? I did Google it, but couldn't find a conclusive answer. Thanks :)

Ooh, I was really tempted as I need 4 new ones, but last time I used a courier we had an absolute nightmare, so I'd be wary of using couriers again :( Good spot tho!

Oops, I'm such a muppet :o - found the service book under one of the seats... :D So far it's had: 13,679 - Service A - LR main dealer 25,119 - Service B & brake fluid - LR main dealer 30,135 - oil service - LR main dealer 35,705 - Service A & coolant change - LR main dealer 48,238 -...

Google's found me a fairly local specialist: Lewis 4x4 (Independent Land Rover Specialists) Ltd How does the servicing work, are they different services up to 48k then they start again with the 12k service? I don't have the flipping service book at the moment - Garage have "misplaced" it...

How do you go about finding a specialist though? Do I drop a note on the windscreen of any Discos I see?? lol! Or do any of you guys know a specialist in the South/West Wales area? If the garage I bought it from can't fix the items themselves, then hopefully they should be able to sort...

Can it be spam if he's not actually promoting his own garage tho? :confused: And he's saying indys are good as long as you get the right one, so :p ;) Anyway, I'm new here, so probs missed something between you two? :fencing:

Ah right, sorry, :blonde: lol! It was just a bog standard 2nd hand car dealer, no particular make they specialised in.

Yeh, but it needs the 84k service anyway, and it's got Landy service history up to 72k, so I'd like to keep the FSH. I bought it knowing that it was due a service, and IMO the price reflected it, so I can't really quibble that. To be fair, the MOT was independent (previous owner, not...

Aw, thanks everyone, particularly Tonks4x4 and PE :lol: :D Am thinking we will go for the LR service (includes a free 40 point visual check according to dealer website) as it needs doing anyway and it'll be nice to keep up the FLRSH. LandyZone rocks :D :praise:

Just checked the MOT and it was done by the previous owner (car turned 6yo on 29th Nov) on the 20th Nov as that's when he brought it in to P/ex against a new car. Will make enquiries to try to find someone who knows their stuff who can MOT it and service it :)

Hmm, I didn't think of that - it has got a very long MOT on it tho - 29th Nov 09. Interesting option, they'd look at a lot more things that a service would...

Hi there, I posted the other week about the 2002 facelift TD5 I was hoping to buy; well I've picked it up now. It comes with a 30 day warranty from the dealer, and as it's just turned 84k (service interval), I was thinking of putting it straight into Land Rover for a service in the hope that...

Thanks, I will be undersealing it when I get it as it's very clean underneath at the mo - but will be a spring job I think as I have no garage and I'm not that keen... ;)

Thanks for the pic - looks like it doesn't have diff lock then, cos although it has the pic saying push to the left for diff lock, it's not written onto the transfer knob - that just says L - N - H, and the lever didn't want to move leftwards. Still, never mind, all else looks fine with it - it...

Brill, thanks, where's the difflock (if it has one), is it a button/lever on the transfer box, or dash, or what?
