Hi it just sorted itself out!!!! So strange

Evening chaps. When I first got the disco II Automatic 1 year ago I kept getting the MS Flashing fault code and the car would go into limp power mode... this mainly happened when changing from Park to Drive/Reverse and Reverse to Drive. Something tells me it's something to do with my shifter...

All off! however............... My ABS and TC lights flashed on startup making a ding sound.... have I damaged the sensor?

Sorry I haven't yet, been preoccupied with the discs and brakes. This one Im changing the brake pads had completely disintegrated! the disc is also very worn. After this I will check the pump, and then try what you said in my other post. So jack up the front wheels onto stands, go underneath and...

Haha Nope I wiped the dirt off just out of interest :) Could the PAS leak be the issue? Any common areas to look out for etc? Cheers again everyone.

Phew...... I suppose this wont solve my tight steering problem then... haha

Evening Chaps :p I'm about to replace my final disc on the drivers front side. When I noticed this... Is it me being daft or is there something missing from my steering?? I've attached a drawing from google. Cheers for looking ;)

Got the full set mate. However mine were so badly corroded that it actually just slides when I used the correct socket. Had to quickly dremel down to the lower socket.

Mullered=Extremely Drunk? I feel like it after loosing my temper all night until I figured a feasible method out of removing the ba$t@rds haha. The car was going to the scrap yard earlier on! :mad::mad: :rolleyes:

Thanks for all the advise! Managed to get two calipers off and changed the discs and brakes! My method using all of your comments to guide me, because when I used a box wrench with hardly any force the ribs completely rounded off. 1. Wire brush all the crap off the bolt 2. SOAK in pen oil or...

Thanks! I have the Irwin extractors, they're great. however, two of the double hex retaining bolts have completely rounded... I had to file it smaller to fit socket due to being between two sizes. The socket just keeps slipping despite a massive grip to begin with.... any advice please? I've...

Thanks for that Brian, good old joy box haha. I've purchased the original parts, I'll try whacking it more with a hammer and see if I can file it down to fit my extractor. If this doesn't work I'll try a hammer and chisel. Replacing the discs and brake is the easy bit, it's removing the bloody...

Good point mate. I appreciate your advice on my past two posts. As for the old one, it was so rusted, on turn of the 19mm double hex rounded it bare. I have some irwin extractor bolt sockets but its slightly too big for them, do you think I could file them smaller then try with another socket...

Hey! I'm looking to buy x4 front caliper retaining bolts for my Disco II. I believe this is them: http://www.paddockspares.com/ftc2996-bolt-caliper.html They're 19mm double hex part number: FTC2996 Horrible things to remove... I've completely rounded the rusty old ones and now they're stuck...

Thank you so much for your advise. Sorry, do you have a picture or diagram please, I don't know how to locate the box drop arm ball joint. I'm useless, but cant afford mechanic right now :rolleyes:

Hi Guys, I went for a drive today and notice my steering feels very stiff... After cornering the wheel doesn't self center and is hard work as I need to assist it back to center. Steering fluid level is perfect too, :( hope this wont cost too much to fix... Any ideas please? I read about...

Theres a second hand one I can buy on the bay... £65 delivered, full assembly. ? hould I wire brush my entire underside and spray with some Tetrosel Woxoyl?

Wow surely mine aint that bad?? Are the poly watts linkages any good? DIY repair or garage job? What does a broken linkage look like? Do the pics not show if its ok or not? Thanks

Thanks... Damn I'm worried now. Here's some pics of the underside from the rear looking back. image upload no limit

Hello All! Since I got my 52 plate Disco 2 Auto, I have noticed a very rough bumpy rear end suspension. Air suspension is in great working order and shocks appear to be ok, judged by my test which may be wrong.... I rocked the vehicle and it settles out again in 2 or 3 mini wobbles and I can...
