Good afternoon all. My 1998 Discovery 2 TD5 10p suddenly broke down, steering went stiff, brake pedal stiff and engine cut out. Engine turns over fine, but doesn't start. Won't bump start either. I can hear the pump pushing fuel, albeit struggling. As per the video there is a trickle noise by...

Good afternoon all, So far up to date I have replaced 4 sets of handles, one door latch assembly, 4 sets of the interior plastic door card locks and today my door latch assembly has failed again! Needless to say I think I'm buying rubbish parts, the doors do close really well, but the locking...

Hi all, Just looking to move my air filter to allow for a diesel heater that I'm fitting, it's a 200tdi discovery engine in a Landy 90. On the 300tdi the air filter is sat above the lift pump, on the 200its above the manifold. My question is, will the mount for a 300tdi bolt to the same place...

Good morning all and happy new year! As the title suggests, I'm having trouble with the front prop shaft on my discovery 2. The prop shaft UJ has failed taking with it the outer casing of the prop on the double cardon end which means it's not as simple as changing the UJ :( The current prop...

Hi all, I have a LT77 gearbox and LT230 transfer from a Discovery 1 which has become so loud that I can't bare it any longer. I have the option to put an R380 box and LT230 in for free, what would I need to change mount wise to make it fit? I'm also a bit skeptical as I don't know if I...

Good evening all, I currently have some BF Goodrich -285 75 R16 - KM2's - mud terrains on my defender 90 (discovery 1 axles). It appears that BF Goodrich don't sell these anymore which is quite gutting, they have lasted a very long time and are now starting to crack. BFG only seem to offer...

Good afternoon! Just a quick question about Diesel heaters and fueling, If I was to plumb directly into the fuel tank, would I need to put in a 12v inline pickup? I will be having the diesel heater under my cubby box (land rover 90). Thanks all!

Good afternoon everyone, I have a Land Rover 90 which I'm looking to install a diesel heater in. I was wondering what setup everyone is running and if I could remove the old heater matrix and put the diesel heater there instead, using the existing ducts. Has anyone tried this? Thank you!

So the official government stance on tax and MOT exemption is as follows: "You can apply to stop paying for vehicle tax from 1 April 2024 if your vehicle was built before 1 January 1984. You must tax your vehicle even if you do not have to pay." Now does this mean that anything after 1984...

Good morning all, I have recently changed the timing belt on my 200 TDI, during which I did a reset of the pump which appeared to be advanced a few teeth (lined up with the flywheel etc). I had fueling problems prior to this (bumpy idle) but this problem seemed to be resolved once I reset the...

Good afternoon, Just a quick question regarding the slave cylinder push rod, or pin : When I push the slave cylinder on to the push rod it needs force to push it on, the rod pushes the piston back in the slave, by quite a way so in a sense, there is constant pressure there. Is this correct...

Good evening everyone. The clutch on my Discovery 2 1999 has failed- about a year ago I had a Roadspec LOF clutch fitted, by a garage and ever since then it has been slipping when I really put my foot down. Now it has completely stopped working, put the clutch down, nothing happens but...

Hi all, I have a 200 TDI defender which has been sat for a few weeks on my driveway. I jumped in to move the old girl and it wouldn't let me push into gear... I can feel resistance when I push the pedal down, but nothing happens, slight change in noise from the thrust bearing, but physically...

Hi everyone, Unfortunately both key fobs for central locking have died and I'm not sure how I go about replacing them. I have seen online that I can buy a new fob with the chip, but how do I program one? Alternatively what cost would I be looking at for a replacement from Land Rover? Any...

Hi guys, As the title suggests I've pulled a rookie. I tightened the oil pipe nut on to the brass thread and managed to strip 3/4 of the brass thread. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get enough torque behind the bolt to crush the copper washer? I can get it to a certain point before...

Hi guys, Today I started a job I'd wish I hadn't... After what was meant to be a simple timing belt change has turned into a fiasco. Anyhow, as the title suggests I have oil inside the timing belt housing and it's fresh oil. Would anyone be able to tell me what the cause could be? Many thanks!

Hi guys, Just wondering if it's worth taking the head completely off to replace the stem seals. I am aware that there's a tool to do it in situ, however I'm having problems with smoke with different hues, I'm thinking for the sake of a few extra hours a top end and injector clean and refurb...

I am looking at upgrading my 200 tdi engine turbo, I currently have a standard turbo and want to upgrade to a hybrid turbo for better boost at both higher and lower rpm. The question is... What do I go for, has anyone tried them and have you run into any installation problems? Thank you!
