I too bought a disco2 TD5 a few months ago. I got the M&S lights coming on and found that if I waggled the wiring harness on top of the auto gearbox then restarted , they went away. What your truck is doing is it is going into "Limp Mode". It is designed to only go into third gear to save your...

Re the cricket, all I can say is, judging by how the Sarth Eferkarns flogged us a few weeks ago;I think your lot have a fair chance this year!

If they do not have hole ,then that would be the reason I can't find them! Thanks guys. I was thrown off a bit by my J 20 jeep having small holes that have a special pointed cardon greaser that is pushed into the hole to grease it.

Title says it all. I cant see the grease hole. Can you tell me where to look. I do own a greaser.

I had the same problem last week. Took two goes with a hair dryer to get it really dry. Give it about 15 / 20 minutes of hot air. Takes a bit longer to get the moisture out of the perimeter as the air stops getting right in to the seams. If you get it really dry you should be ok. IF it comes...

Thanks for all your help folks. Turned out to be as simple as a loose positive wire onto the started . Fine now just come back from a seven hundred km. run, no probs now , Starting to really enjoy this forum. full of knowledge.

Thanks for that Martin. Will have a go tomorrow.

You could ask a concreter for some of the heavy plastic they use under concrete here in Australia it is known as Viscreen but that is probably a trade name. However it is much tougher than garbage bag stuff. Also comes from hardware stores.

Hi everyone, Two days ago I bought a disco 2 1999 mod.TD5 auto. I have had two days of fun fixing up the air suspension etc This evening I pressure washed the wheel arches and now it won't start. Battery is fully charged but all I get is a click probably from the started motor. Is it a stuck...

Hi people, I have just bought a 1999 discovery 2 TD5. Looks real nice and I don't think it has been off road in it's life. Has lots of little problems ( the three amigos, And the rear suspension was dragging on the bump stops on the way home). Turns out the rear air bag compressor is cactus and...

Hi, I thought I would say hi to all you Poms in the Mother country. I escaped to Australia forty years ago this December. I had a series one just before I emigrated, It was a ton of fun but leaked more petrol than it drank, which was saying something! Two days ago I had a weak moment and bought...
