    D2 td5 hesitation

    May be a turbo hose laminating and blocking the air flow.

    Disco 2 Leaking rear crankshaft seal?

    There are plenty of places, especially lhs of engine, which could blow back.

    Disco 2 Brilliant car

    Just thought I'd say what a fantastic vehicle my D2 is. I've been using it as my daily runner back and to from work and as a weekend work-horse for the diy jobs for a few years now. Yes I have spent some time sorting all the LR design and build issues out initially but I liked doing that and now...

    Disco 2 Tyres

    Just thought I'd share the fact that I changed my tyres on the disco for General Grabbers a few weeks back. They are on standard D2 wheels and the D2 has a 2" lift on the suspension. The tyres are great on the road in the wet or dry and well "off road" they have a sufficiently good rep anyway...

    keeping your landy safe

    Keep it in the garage when not in use, locked safely away from prying eyes. When out in it dont leave it alone. A lot like owning a motorbike really.

    D2 Chassis Advice (photos)

    Agreed, looks pretty good to me. Tank off and a bit of a paint and waxoyl and its good for many years.

    Disco 2 Steering box replace or output shaft seal!?

    Get a recon steering box. I tried replacing a seal insitu and it simply didnt work, well not for long at all. There was a place in sandycroft near chester that did refurbs. Its where I bought my last box and its been perfect for the last few years now.

    Some maths help please

    So isn't the difference in profiles 199 - 179 = 20mm. (20 x 100)/179 = 11% more than a 255 x 70 tyre. At top and bottom of wheel too so thats 22% or 40mm diameter increase.

    2001 disco wont start

    Check turbo pipe hasn't delaminated. Engine starts, revs and goes but then stops with no power shortly after. You need to take em off and check, the delamination can be seen on the inside of the pipe.

    Disco 2 Tyre recommendations

    Agreed if rwd but if fwd then rear - if that steps out on you it will be hello hedge. Thought it important to point this out.

    Disco 2 My block broke

    Well Allen Millyard has been welding engines together for years so I would imagine its entirely possible to fix a little hole like that on great big heavy tractor motor. Trouble is you still need to have the face machined, unless you intend to file it insitu, so the motor still has to come out...

    Disco 2 Cutting out, so many possibilities!

    I had an issue recently that caused a lack of power over 2500rpm but it didn't cut out when I lifted off the throttle. It turned out to be the turbo to intercooler pipe delaminated. No dash warning lights lit up either. Just saying because of the white smoke reference, which I also saw but...

    Disco 2 Turbo hose trouble

    Interesting failure though. As its the turbo side I'd have thought it would be ok but the delamination must be causing it to balloon in the airflow and block it. Anyway I've proper bodged it for work tomorrow, I have put an inner sleeve in it made from an old top hose. Took it out and its...

    Disco 2 Turbo hose trouble

    Had the wierdest of drives into work this morning. Everything was well until I accelerated onto a roundabout and the disco just revved a little then chocked up, lift off throttle and lovely tickover. Had to limp onto the works carpark until I had a chance to look at it. When I got a chance at...

    New boots

    Goodyear M&S. Nice quality looking tyre. Any reason you chose those over any others? Cost?
