Thanks. I'll check the drum after my next use of the vehicle, and will back of the handbrake adjuster to see if that helps.

I ultimately got the windscreen company to come back and remedy the mess they left. They sent a different fitter who had both pillar trims on properly in five minutes. There is clearly a knack it. And, this has totally cured water ingress.

I have hesitated posting this, since the obvious response is to take the handbrake drum off and have a look, but I don't have a pit or ramps, and my site is not level ground, so I'm trying to find out what might be the cause before I get the rear end jacked up and crawl underneath: The OP...

Brilliant. Thanks so much. I took the carpets up because they were wet and I was trying to identify the water ingress point. This has also now been resolved.

Can someone please suggest where this part goes on a Discovery 2, so I can put it back!? I took out both front carpets, which also meant taking the seats out and the centre console. After I put things back together, this was left over. The only mark on the black bar is a letter "R". I assume...

That simple! Thank you

I've spent too long over the four years that I've had a Discovery 2 trying to identify part numbers. Can someone please tell me whether there is a way to cross reference this (which shows all the parts, but doesn't show the numbers): https://new.lrcat.com/#!/1232/35775/35776/2715 With this...

Brilliant. Thank you

You are absolutely right, but there are a number of factors which put me off doing this: 1. The fitter is in Inverness which is 120 miles from where I live. It doesn't bother me that they'd have to make the long trip, just it is not easy for me to, and I don't have time nor motivation to...

Also, does anyone have a photo of which way round the spring clips go? My situation is that I had a windscreen fitted through my insurance, to find that the fitter didn't install one pillar trim correctly (none of the clips were affixed), he left holes at the edges of the gutters, and he didn't...

I'm having the same issue as the original poster. But have been unable to do it after sleeping on the problem. I wouldn't part with my Disco 2, and would hate to have to replace it. But, I just cannot properly re-fit these A-pillar trims. The video doesn't show whether there is any gap at the...

Good thread and some nice welding. I am currently trying to solve the same issue: water ingress at the outer edge of both front footwells on my Discovery 2. On comments about the "inner wing to bulkhead area as a culprit", is this due to water splashing up from the wheel arch while driving in...

I'm trying to locate the source of water ingress from the front of my Discovery 2 TD5. Well, I say from the front, specifically it is evident as continuously wet patches on the outer sides of both front seat carpets, but I haven't yet traced where it is coming in. Having recently had a new...

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...
