The thule roof boxes are good. Just dont get the halfrauds aerodynamic bars as they only attach to the forward roof bars on my disco 2 td5 & are then a pain to reach anything in the box, as well as attaching/removing it from the roof.

Hi I`m after a bit of help & advice with some hawkeye codes on my td5 and their meanings & could`nt see anything after a quick search. After getting the three amigos come up after going down a bumpy road, I discovered my n/s/r hub sensor wire was a bit loose. I decided to buy a hawkeye to make...

Cheer`s Blackhadder They have 100% feedback on the bay & also seem confident, as they invite anyone to turn up without an appointment to view the factory & talk to their engineers so it all sound`s good. I`d love to have a go at rebuilding the engine, but sadly have no room to carry this out...

Well the answer to my original question is No! thought I could hear a knocking noise when I was going through a drive thru as it was echoing off the wall but I was`nt sure as I had fitted a straight thru exhaust & could`nt hear/notice it after that. Anyway driving from Chatteris it lost power &...

Fuel lines can rub through & also worth replacing the oil pulley pump bolt as a precaution as some came from the factory without threadlock on & work loose. Regard`s, Dan

Is this the same as your link ? or an original with the slots cut out where the seats lock down . Regard`s, Dan

Yeah, just when I thought I`d escaped with no damage this happens ! Oh well out with the spanners lol

I hate to be the one to scare you by saying that in my experience, I have rarely seen an engine that has been unaffected by 'running dry'. The moment that oil film breaks down, there's metal to metal contact which causes damage/ wear to engine components equivalent to several thousand miles of...

Spoke too soon:( .Today I decided to increase the speed/revs after taking it for a gentle drive up to a max of 2k revs, inc a few miles up & down the dual carriageway up to 70mph & all was good :). I then went to increase the revs up to 3k revs & thought I heard a woosh/rush/whistling sort of...

Well thank the land rover gods :amen: she`s alive & purring :D. I checked the sump thread & all is good, so I torqued up the new sump plug & washer. I then went to fill the oil uo & I was going to try & crank it over on the pulley bolt but it looked a pain to access, so I just turned the key to...

True, I`ll have a look first light & post back on here. Tell me about it. I`m getting my sister to pop into town for me whilst I`m at work & get a sump plug & oil. As soon as I`m back from work @ approx 5:20 I`ll get a new sump plug in + oil & fire her up. I`ll report back on the outcome on...

Good point, i`ll have a look in the morning as it`s an ali sump & that`ll be just my luck to top it off. Thank`s, Dan

Hi Guys, I did a full fluid & filters change + new injector Harness. I dropped the sump to change the Oil pump bolt for one with thread lock on it & gave it a full degrease & new sump gasket. Whilst doing the top cover up I left my mate to refit the sump plug & undertay, whilst I started...

+1 for a clarke. I`ve got a 160tm model wich is fine for up to 5mm. I bought this from weld equip on mig-welding.co.uk site, wich is really helpful for tips/tutorials. Don`t bother with the disposable bottles from Halfrauds etc as they last minutes & clean any metal back to a nce clean/shiny...

Hi, I`m not sure of your first choice but RJ landrovers are near me. I have a friend who bought his disco 2 from there & I can say they look after you. His turbo went & they fitted a replacement free of charge no quibbles. They do seem a bit pricey, but from what I`ve seen when I went there they...

Show off :p Right, just had a read through of "Mantamads" guide & it looks like I will have to seal the other side of the plastic where the winder mounts. I take it I will also have to remove the inner/underside of the plastic sunroof part where the sunroof fixes to the roof & seal that too...

Thank`s for the above advice/links guys. Also glad to see mine is`nt the only one that leaks from the winder as most posts i`ve seen describe it leaking round the edge. Thank`s, Dan.

I guess your right, I was just hoping someone would say it may be as simple as a bead of sealant round the edge of the sunroof seal or something like. Just finished installing the third row seats in the boot (5 seater on air) so was hoping not to pull anymore interior out for a while...

Hi guys, hoping someone can give me an idea where to start looking for the cause of my leak. When I bought my discovery td5 I knew about the leaking sunroofs, so as the one I went to buy had 2 & it was a wet day I felt all round the headlining to make sure there was no dampness & all good or so...
