    EGR question and engine type.

    no, not unique at all. it seems they built the 2004 discos from whatever was available in the stock. some have egr coolers, some do not. and all of them are EURO 3. btw mine is LHD made for german market.

    EGR question and engine type.

    mine is made in 03/2004, registered in 10/2004. the engine is 15P EURO3 with no EGR cooler - same as yours. the bolts on the exhaust manifold went out quite easily, few gentle taps with a hammer on the hex spanner and that was all what was needed.

    Disco 2 rear axle leak

    there is one o ring that seals the hub to the axle. it leaks very seldom. usually it is the internal seal inside the hub that leaks. unfortunately, this internal seal is not replaceable.

    Disco 2 rear axle leak

    that works for defender and disco 1. not for disco 2, the hub is not dismantable here. if it leaks it must be replaced.
