Take off one of the battery leads & connect a multi meter set to DC amps between the battery terminal and the lead that you removed, this will measure the current drain from the battery. With the ignition off, you should measure a few miliamps no more. If there's a few hundred miliamps, then go...

Hi, yes the join in mine is just inside the wheel arch.... both sides the same, lasted at least 4 years to date :-) Glad it's worked out for you. Mat

As I've said above, I've done two front sensors now, and both time the hub & bearing have been fine, If you've checked the wheel bearing and it feels fine, why would you fully expect to have to swap the hub ?? Just buy the £9 ABS sensor off ebay and swap it, takes about an hour, and at the end...

Hi, I've fitted two new front ABS sensors on my 2003 Disco 2 face lift in the last four years, the last one I fitted only last week. In both cases the wheel bearing/hub has been fine. Same issue as you, three amigo's + hill descent light came on, Haykeye said front right hand side sensor. Both...

Got the three Amigo's last week, Hawkeye said front ABS sensor right hand side. I replaced the left one about 4 years ago. I bought another sensor, as the bearing is fine, but (and I had to do this on the previous one) the connector end and sensor end are too big to fit through the hole at the...

OK, so the official info from Bearmach is that "The manufacturers have stopped supplying unlock codes and stopped manufacturing of Hawkeye".. so unfortunately it can only work with Discovery 2 Td5..... I'm a little bit ticked off about this, because when I bought it I'm sure they made some...

OK, so this part answers my question. So do I need to buy an upgrade for my original Hawkeye tool that's unlocked for my Disco 2 TD5 to make it also work with the Discovery 3 ? ie new software version or cables etc ? Thanks

Hi, I have a Discovery 2 facelift, when I got it about four years ago, I bought the Bearmach Haykeye diagnostic reader, which has been absolutely brilliant. I'm thinking of getting a Discovery 3, Does the Hawkeye work with the Disco 3 ? Do I need to get it updated or get a new cable or similar...

Thinking of getting a Discovery 3, currently have a facelift Discovery 2 (past 4 years) I drove past the car that I'd seen for sale today, and it looked really low on the suspension, all 4 corners. The front wheels looked like they had negative camber it was that low. The pictures I saw online...

Best thing to do is lay the new gasket out on the workbench a good few days before you need to use it, that will get it to the normal shape, and stop the tendency for it to keep curling up into the shape it was shipped in. Then use some silicone gasket to set it into the rocker cover on the...

This blanking plug was leaking on my D2 facelift when I bought it, I just replaced it with a short piece of hose and plugged the end... that was 4 years ago, it's never leaked since :-)

Sorry to say bud, but that is knackered.. :-( looks like you've dropped a valve or some other foreign body has been bouncing around inside the cylinder.. the bore looks scored too. I'd be looking for a decent used engine if it was mine.

Yes that's what I expected, fronts to wear our much sooner. I do tow a braked trailer some times, but not often. Front brake calipers etc are all OK, also the brakes seem to work fine, no pulling to one side or dragging. TBH it's not a big deal, a new set of Pagid pads for the rear cost £18...

OK thanks Sierrafery, I just realised that they are the same parts that fit the Discovery 3 and others, I think my mistake was just looking for Discovery 2 parts, which just seemed to throw up more expensive ones. I think for that price I'll give them a try :-)

Hi, what options do I have to replace the front fog lights on my 53 place Discovery 2 facelift. The originals have disintegrated and rusted away inside. Is there any common aftermarket ones that fit ? Originals seem really expensive if they pop up on eBay. I'm guessing this is a common problem...

Hi, fitted all new brakes on my 53 plate Disco 2 about 20,000 miles ago, pads, discs & also new calipers at the rear. I've kept an eye on the front pads when doing anti roll bar bushes and other stuff where the wheels have been off, the pads are just less than half worn. Last week I noticed a...

We dropped the fuel tank...

As has been stated already, double check the plastic fuel pipe with the green locking tabs, this has failed twice on my 53 reg Disco in the last four years, it chafes on the bodywork and gets a tiny pin hole, same symptoms as you describe above. First time I fitted a complete new set of pipes...

I just got two Bearmach ones from my friendly local LR spares place... Beam Ends Landrover. Cost £10 each. These could well be the same as the ones I already replaced, but as I said, when I removed them again, only one joint was bad, the other three were tight as new, so must have been am...

I've been using Hawkeye on my D2 facelift for the last 4 years, I got it used (but as new) off Ebay as soon as I got the car, I find it invaluable for investigating faults and general diagnostics, it's also pretty much foolproof and intuitive to use. In fact I plugged mine in last week for the...
