I had a cracked windscreen replaced by National windscreens....twice and the problem is still there! There are gaps between the applied PU sealant bead and glass along the top edge. It seems to stem from the D2 screen's built in rubber shield/seal along the top edge. It prevents the screen...

I removed the covers surrounding the ignition barrel on my D2 TD5 and found two plugs dangling in the wind. Does anyone know what they are and if they should be connected somewhere?

I have ACE on my disco but would like to run with a completely disconnected anti roll bar off road. However, when I am on-road I would like to have the ACE. I plan to have a mechanical disconnect but I feel it would be less than ideal having the ACE system still running and actuating without...

I have a D2 and am planning on changing my grabber 255/55 R16 for the Toyo Open country AT3 245/70 R16 or possibly the 255/70 R16. I have 8J wheels with small 20mm outward offset currently. I like the toyos as they are a 2ply sidewall as opposed to a stiffer 3ply BFG K03 tyre. The terrain here...

My fuel pump seems noisy It makes a whiney, high pitch humming sound. The vehicle is new to me so I do not have reference. Is it a sign that the pump is on its way out? Also, I am planning to do some repairs to the rear chassis that requires the fuel tank to be removed. Is it worth just...

The drivers seatbelt on my disco 2 is a bit tatty. I thought I could source a passenger side unit that's likely to be less used, and fit it to the drivers side. Are they the same and is this sensible??

Every time I open the tailgate I get a small dribble out of the bottom edge of the door near the hinge. It seems to be coming from a drain hole between the inner and outer door skins. Presumably this should not be happening? Where does the water enter into the door?

I purchased a TD5 Disco 2 that I believe has a solid mass LOF clutch. I find driving the car that gear changes are hard to perform without a nasty jerk. It really does detract from the driving experience. Is this problem normal and expected with a single mass clutch? This is my first manual...

Does anyone know if the electric air conditioning condenser cooling fan mount brackets (pictured) are available as replacements? Mine are heavily corroded.

I am trying to tackle a leaky front half shaft/axle seal. I can see all the previous posts about this well known trouble spot. The disco 2 I have had new front seals installed a year or two prior by the previous owner. I disassembled it today and can see the seal looks to be in new condition and...

I have discovered a rusty patch behind the front wheel arch liner. The plastic liner is a terrible design that seems to trap dirt and rust behind the liner. My question is what should be done to remedy this? How can I stop the rust? Is it hard to replace the panel? Is there any long term fixes...

I have a manual D2 2003. I was confused to find a transmission ECU under the passenger seat. Why on earth is there a transmission controller for a manual car? Could this be an automatic originally that has been converted?

On of the rear passenger doors on my Disco2 is hard to open. The handle mechanism only releases if you pull violently. It feels like the latch does not move soon enough within the travel of the handle. Is there a way this can be adjusted?

Hi guys, I am running a stage 2 TD5inside setup with intercooler and EGR delete. Generally happy with it although I fancy getting more low end torque. The current setup behaves more like a petrol engine in my mind requiring revving to high RPM. I am accustomed to modern diesels whereby the...

I like the ACE anti roll system and what it can do. However, when off road, the anti roll bar is way too stiff for good articulation/flex. Has anyone figured a way of reducing this stiffness? Or perhaps employed quick disconnects? I came across the "X Deflects" quick disconnecting anti roll bar...

I am needing to tackle the corrosion on the rear chassis area. I realise its a very common area to rot out. But looking at the problem I cant help think that the cause is likely due to moisture settling internally in the low point in the chassis rail. With the open rear end of the rail tube...

Can anyone help me identify this winch bumper. I saw it on a UK youtube channel. I like it because it is really high clearance. I also like those yellow fog lights. Again any help with IDing this setup would be appreciated.
