Hi all Sorry for such a long post but tried to explain as much and as best as I could. My LR3 (V8 4.4 7A MY) has been making us all suffer when the cold weather comes for the last 4 years -passenger side temp more or less ok -Driver's side: Feet temp ok, window defroster temp OK, face vent temp...

Den floor. ar all, for the last year i've experienced wet carpet syndrome (driver's) in my D2, more noticeably after snowing than raining, but also when raining. Headliner is OK, A-pillar is bone dry, bottom windscreen ok, sunroof drain pipes OK, sunroof drainpies hole in A-pillar bottom...

Dear all. My LR3 needs new thermostat due to a leak in the bypass hose. looks coming from the plastic pipe which might eventually break 1st 'stat replaced in 2010 at 40K miles. Now it's turn of the 2nd, at 120K miles. I have just one question. Can you replace the whole housing (including the...

Even though D2s and P38x (post XA) share the same engine, there is a particularity in D2 V8s 4.0 and 4.6 : The oil filter. Yes, it is mounted at an angle. BMW, at that time owner of LR, decided to make things more complicated and, in the place the oil filter bolts on, screwed a so called "oil...

Hi all, Again, my D2 is turning me crazy. Since 2004, when I bought it, I've changed and renewed brake fluid with good quality Dot4 ABS every 2 years. Lately my left rear wheel began getting hot. -Took caliper out. One guide pin was badly seized. Took it out, sanded, polished, greased and...

Besides my d2 v8 5spd I own a 1995 RRC 300 Tdi 5spd soft dash. It needs new windshield and rubbers. As you know, they are obsolete parts and longer available. The old style just does not fit as this last series is glued-on. In theory Disco 1 MA series-on should fit (the one with the glued...

Hi all, after chasing one by one the different noises now another one has appeared: D2 bosch engine 5 speed, 100K miles, original tappets and camshaft, oil changed every 4,5K miles, using Mobil1 5w50. The noise appeared last october. -I cleaned (totally gummed) ICV valve. Noise went away. Did...

D2 weren't renowned by the steering feeling, at least whenever I hop off my RR Classic and hop on the D2 (mine is a 99MY, 1st build) I always notice some remoteness (not vagueness, as it's spot-on) it's like you never feel where the wheels are pointing to. I also had a Td5 2004MY D2, only for...

Hi all, Just looking for some input from you about a nasty instrument pod noise It's 99 D2, 5-speed, no SAI. It happens on cold mornings when I turn the ignition on before start-up. That nasty crackling/buzzing noise. If I swtich the ignition off and switch it on again it does not reappear. On...

Hi all, To make a long story short, I need to replace both hood and tailgate RRC badges (the ones from 95 MY RRC run out with raised letterings). LR quiote them as no longer available. It seems that P38 ones and MKIII (or FFRR or L322) will fit, but the ones who look nearly the same are the P38...

It's that time of the year when the rain starts to pour and the Rover owner takes a look at the seals to renew before the rainfall comes. Yes, both of my trunk side window seals are starting to go, and the seal itself is no longer available from LR. Craddocks don't have them, AB and...

Hi all, just to make a long story short, my 99 DII v8 5 speeder wants to kill me after driving me crazy. At 50-60 Mph (or between 80-100 Kmph), whenever I step on the gas pedal or back off the throttle, the truck changes lane in less than 2 seconds (i floor the gas pedal, in 2 secs changes lane...

Hi there, for all Disco owners who are unlucky enough to live at the other side of the pond (aka Europe) we are faced each day with coolant-antifreeze cans in which nothing as IAT, OAT or HOAT is written on. I have downloaded Chris St Louis' excellent coolant chart but... nearly all but Texaco...

Hi all, Maybe 99.99999% of us have experienced the dreaded rubber button on our plips crack, and then we know what comes next: visit to the stealer, new transponder, programming and, being lucky, not having to come again because one of the original surviving transpoders has lost the synch with...

Good morning to everyone. Some help would be truly appreciated to solve my particular O2 sensor problem My Rover has decided to act even in a more weird manner. Every now and then a P0134 is thrown, but only on short journeys. If the code is erased and a long highway journey is done, it does...

My 99 D2 is suffering from the leaky rearview mirror disease. Donnelly seemps reluctant to deal with a replacement of so old bits. But...manufacturer and dimensions seem exact to the mirror fitted in the 2006-2008 VW camper van range (called caravelle, transporter, california... depends on...

I got it from them, it's the same stuff http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php?xProd=91844&xSec=5497 using their built in currency converter it is at less than 600 bucks! Hope that helps. Mine is being fitted now

Yes, apparently after much hunting for the mistery MTF94, or lucky you who can get RedLine MTL (in Europe no way), now LandRover, since 2005, issues a new TSB for "legacy" vehicles in which oil and coolant specifications are changed. Where MTF94 was stated for a manual TRanny, now they recommend...

Hi all, My 70Kmiles D2 started to loose coolant at nearly an alarming rate. Head gaskets are culprit. Hopefully it drips on the floor (from front right and rear left of the block) and the system is not pressurised. It drinks almost a litre every 600 miles, which is not too much. So head gasket...
