Thanks, propshaft I bought came with it fitted incorrectly.

Just got hold of a new propshaft with the rubber donut already fitted however being a Brit part unit it comes with a Brit part donut and I have a proper gkn one to go on. This britpart one has the tips of the arrow pointing away from the flange it bolts to. However the one I’ve removed had...

Got the propshaft out by doing just that. Was trying to pull it apart and grease it all when it was all off. That’s how the rope snapped

So last night I decided to get the rear propshaft off to change the rubber ‘donut’ as it was deformed and cracking. Picked up a GKN replacement. However I ran into an issue I have never encountered before on any of my Land Rovers. All nuts and bolts undone but could not get the propshaft to...

No worries I’ll add a picture with it scribbled out just in case anyone does stumble across it and thinks there’s a chance.

It’s an old card used to get the switches out of the dash. It’s about 10 years old and isn’t linked in anyway to any account I currently have or any bank I use. Thanks for the concern tho guys :)

So another job done today that really modernises the vehicle and in my opinion is the one area that lets the discovery down in today’s world. I am of course talking about the entertainment system. I’ve gone for a pioneer sphda120 which features apple car play, dual usb and Bluetooth. Also wired...

I bought one off ebay from a company called egr delete. Had a couple from them i the past for different vehicles and have always been very good quality fast postage and easy fitting with instructions. The company do several for the td5 ones with and without egr coolers and one with an output...

Couple of weeks ago I picked up a new daily. A 2003 td5 Discovery ES Manual. 126,000 miles still equipped with ACE and air suspension. Decided to make a thread about it and keep adding to this one as a progression thread and to remind myself of what jobs I have done and when I did them. So here...

Tried that and no use. Looking towards box and pump

Done this and tried again sprayed them everyday since Thursday and taken for a spin and no different. Uj’s seem spot on. However today I’m back to thinking it’s the pump. The longer the engine has run for the harder the steering gets at idle and the pump starts whining every time the wheel is...

The box has a slight notchy feeling which is worse the more load it’s under. You can feel it mildly from the steering wheel with the drop arm disconnected but worse with everything connected up. It’s also worse the closer to straight ahead you are and also seems worse turning right. The best way...

So further investigation today seems to point to the steering box. With the engine off and the wheels on the ground I can still feel the notchiness in the steering. Then jacked the vehicle up and removed the track rod end off the drop arm and push and pulled on the wheels and they move nice and...

Thanks for all the responses. I have checked tyre pressures and all are to spec. I took it out to the field and even on grass it struggles at low rpm. The steering however always self centres smoothly and perfectly. So I’m certain it’s linked to the hydraulic side and not a mechanical issue like...

I’m hoping for some help in solving this issue. Recently bought a discovery and everything is really good with it except the power steering. At low revs below about 1500rpm there’s no power steering assistance at all. The pump has a faint whine and increasing the revs results in smooth and...

Never had any issues when swapping to aftermarket radios. Tinny/scratchy sounding speakers could be incorrectly wired speakers. Check at the actual speakers themselves that you are getting about 6v on both wires to the speakers if not there is an issue with the wiring or the head unit. If the...

So first job sorted. Was done quick because I already had the surround made up from my last disco 2. Radio is a pioneer sph da130, this unit has dab, Apple car play so has sat nav, music, hands free. Great way to modernise the entertainment system bringing it inline with a discovery 4 or 5...

Got myself a new project and daily driver. It’s a 2004 Discovery td5 Landmark, bought it just over a month ago and have just put it into driving duties for the winter. Full service history, all the common td5 and discovery issues sorted within the last 10,000 miles with receipts to prove it...

That’s quite a high price given the issues and the possible severity of them, depending on the cause. With a compressor running flat out all the time it could easily give up the ghost anytime and it’s really not cheap if you can’t do the work yourself. The sagging headlining is most likely a...

I bought one for my discovery td5 for like £45 off eBay from a company that apparently give a 6 year warranty. Pleasantly surprised the pump is silent and power of the engine seems really good. Will see how long it lasts but it’s only short term until I have the funds to throw a vdo one at the...
