Thanks! Fortunately a builder nearby gave me 2 meters scaffold to make it. I heard a break noise and thought my breaker bar was broken. However it is still intact:D

I just tried undoing the nut with 30” breaker bar, I think it is over 490nm. But it was too stubborn to loosen it even if I jumped up and down on the breaker bar. Any suggestions? like heating up it with torch and hammering it around, not sure if it would damage drive shaft or hub.

Thanks Stanley! I am not sure if you have undone and done 1-1/4" hub nut using 1/2" hex drive 30" breaker. I found this one can do max 512NM...

I can undo all bolts but abs sensor one, I used 3/16 Allen key, it slipped, is there a special tool to undo it? It seems possible to slide out the hub without removing slack abs wire or by unplugging its other end.

Thanks! I just found another thread says loctite 648 should be used on shaft spline, it is bonding other than lubricating. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/discovery-2-2004-td5-landmark-rear-hub-nut-torque.348751/

Thank you for your info. If it is grease leak, do I have to replace the hub or simply add general grease to the hub? BTW do you smear copper grease on shaft spline?

When I was replacing the rear brake pads yesterday, I found my o/s hub was wet and some black grease on the pad but the caliper was dry. Does it mean the rear hub or its O-ring seal needs replaced, or leak from axis oil? please see attached pics. Thanks!

I tried to turn key to ignition 2, then shift to R, they were flashing sometimes, but never happened on starting engine. More often happened a while after driving, then stopped, shifted to R or D. When it happened, only D red lights and led were flashing apart of green flashing. No red lights...

Hi, I am in the middle of removing my xyz switch, I found the selector shaft is a bit rusty, I wonder if removing shaft nut (anti-clock) by much force would damage the shaft or inside gear box. I have oiled it using penetrating oil. BTW, in order to have access to one of two switch nuts, do I...

Thanks! I have looked up loom wiring from under the car, there is access plate, but put back access plate could be big challenge. I can feel the wiring and P clip nut, removing P clip nut might be main job if from under, it seems there is space to use a spanner + extension. Has anyone removed P...

Thank you for your comments. After observations for a long time, I see only D and red lights of shift on D are flashing as well. My MOT failed for fog light last month, when I fixed it, I found all fog and reverse lights were 1/2 or 1/3 bright than normal at same time, I saw it one time by...

Hi, I would like to check if my D2 auto gearbox loom wiring has been chafed. So far I have not found any info of how to remove auto gearbox loom wiring. Someone mentioned the wiring is accessible from centre console. I have opened the centre console, but not sure what to do next. Any ideas are...

I forgot to mention, after I restart engine, M+S flashing is gone. I checked my xyz switch under the truck, a big exhaust is on the way, can someone manage to remove it without moving the exhaust? apart of that, the switch case looks like black. As I remember someone said, from 2003 it is white...

Clamps are very tight. I checked again with a ringo smartcharge. The battery voltage is 12.4v, 70% without engine running and 14.3v, 100% with engine running.

Recently, I have experienced intermittent M+S flashing on my 2004 D2 TD5 basically when switching to reverse. When It happened, I felt my engine had a bit shaking than normally. I have 3 years' BulletBatt battery (CCA 930A), and drove about once a week for last two years for WFH, it is still...

Hi! I have 2004 disco. td5 ES AUTO, its rear sunroof glass was damaged. I am looking for an used glass. I am not sure if all disco. td5 glasses can fit my car. My front glass marks 43 R-005274, I have following questions 1. Do I have to use 43 R-005274 glass for rear sunroof? 2. Can I use any...

Hi Stanleysteamer, thank you for your info. when I drove the tap, I was careful to avoid damaging the internal threads. I did tap down the thread. Maybe the internal thread has been worn a bit, so that the bolt has less contact area and can not stand specified force. Other bolts are tightened...

I drove out stripped threads with a little resistance by hand today. I tried another good bolt by hand, first it went in smoothly, it seems tight. Then after the wheel was put on, then tightened by ratchet, it was stripped again. Does it means the hub internal strips have been damaged, or the...

BTW, do you use WD-40 or penetrating oil? I have used penetrating oil to challenge stubborn and rusty bolts. I am not sure if torch fire + water would be another better option to remove damaged thread.

Thank you four your useful info!!! I just found a dedicated tool, it might be operated with standard socket by hand. I don't know if anyone have used similar products https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175189702848?hash=item28ca1eb8c0:g:SpUAAOSwc-FfvMpd
