Sorry for this simple question, and that it's been a long time before I've got round to the job. But, 'sliders': are these the two bolts (one upper and one lower) which when removed open up the calipers? They are called 'guide pins' in the Haynes manual. I've had a go on one wheel, taking out...

Thanks. The socket had been pushed in, as per the warning on the link.

Can someone please tell me where the OBD port is please (Discovery 2 2001TD5)? I've searched for a good hour, in both footwells. Thanks.

The three amigos have today appeared on my Discovery 2 TD5. I've searched this forum and I'll try the shuttle valve wiring option first (as I'll need to take it to a garage to get the code read). What I haven't been able to find out is whether the truck is likely okay to drive, for short...

I've just found this: (YNI500030K) https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/yni500030-k-fuel-pipe-kit-to-repair-the-green-fuel-pipe-td5.html That has answered my question.

Thanks for everyone's help. I removed the fuel tank. Those side brackets didn't need loosening (they just restrained the tank at the top), but I did have to remove the tow bar bracket. It was indeed, also, the green fuel pipe that was leaking. Someone had previously patched it up. Good news is...

Thanks. Of course, I can see now why there is no need to remove the sender unit. So, it might be a stupid question, but do I need to remove those brackets on either side of the tank (as per my photo above) please? I'd rather not start trying to free up the rusted bolts if the tank comes out...

Thanks. NTC5859 is the part. On attempting to take the fuel tank out, I've removed the four bolts that hold the cradle in place, and according to the RAVE manual the tank should be loose enough to come out. Mine isn't. I assume that the two brackets on either side of the tank are holding it to...

My fuel tank leak is getting worse so have decided to take the tank out and investigate. I thought that it would give me better access to the rear chassis so I could give it a good clean and underbody seal at the same time. Can someone please advise on the following: 1. In the Haynes manual it...

It has been almost a year and I've lived with this small fuel leak. I took the rear trim out and examined the top of the fuel tank, but could find no leaks, then left it. It has no got any worse. To remove the kink in the breather pipe seems an easy test, but since no-one replied, I wonder if...

Having recently noticed a small patch of fuel dripping from the rhs front of the fuel tank support bracket, I read the RAVE manual to see about investigating above the tank. As a preliminary, I've attached a couple of photos: 1. The breather pipe has a kink in it. I was suprised to find that in...

Will someone please tell me what this plug is for, it is about 5" back from the sump oil drain plug (Discovery 2 TD5)? My mind wasn't on the job when I was changing the engine oil and I unscrewed this plug instead of the sump plug. I was surprised to find that nothing came out of it. I've looked...

I'm just about to replace my Discovery 2's from anti-roll bar drop links. They are quite heavily corroded, but the bottom bolts appears to require a male torx drive. Since I don't have a male torx drive set, I will buy one. Can someone please tell me the size/code number of the torx bit so that...

Thanks for the advice. I'll follow it. Andrew

I've had my first LR Discovery 2 for about 18 months now. I'm very pleased with the vehicle, but I've had a couple of issues with the brakes sticking. On both occassions I've had a garage attend to it, the most recent being an MOT failure. I'm a novice DIY mechanic, but like to do as much as I...

Thanks. The breather pipe is clear through both sections, but the leak is still there. At least I know it is not that. I'll try the leak sealant. Andrew

Brilliant, thanks! I'll give that a go. Andrew

It is a bit embarrassing, as it seems simple DIY, but can someone tell me how (if it's possible) the breather pipes (disco 2) can be uncoupled from the connector shown in the attached photograph? I've spent ages trying, in vain. But the thing is I recall having had it apart before. The green...

Thanks for all this help! The teeth are fine I think. It is grease on them, not wear. Andrew

Thank you both, It is not the fuse. In fact, I've taken the regulator out and the motor is working fine too. Good news. But, Stanleystreamer, I know exactly what you mean. As I pulled the mechanism out from the hole in the door, I thought "I'm going to have a job getting this back in", because...
