Thread: What happened to your Discovery 2 today?

Don't have the time or inclination with three small kids mate. I think the chassis was tweaked too.

That’s what I was wondering. There are two straight D2as here in Adelaide being parted out on Gumtree....big kms on them but if you were considering a rebuild or consolidating 3 into 1.
Correction, 1 is private and straight. The other has a bent roof and in a wrecking yard. Both on gumtree

Blinged him up!
Replaced the ACE filter and flushed a litre of ACE fluid.
Also Sika’d the top passenger corner of the windscreen hopefully no more leaks.
Also lubricated the ignition barrel.
Hopefully this is enough hommage to the Land Rover god of reliability for sometime....

Replaced the Maf as it was sus = WOW

As it has been a beautiful day in the hills, i thought I'd do some work on the Disco. It has developed a major oil leak and the right rear door wont unlock with the central locking or open from the outside.


The oil leak was fairly easy to find, the head has a plastic access bung sealed with an o-ring, the oil is pouring out of it, so got to get a new seal.... the door was a different situation.


After removing the door trim, it was easy to see the Disco came from northern WA.... the amount of orange dust was shocking. It was a bit fiddly getting the lock out, but the worst thing was that i dropped the link from the handle to the lock! Over an hour of searching delivered no results... so begrudgingly i put everything back together unfixed as i need to go buy some parts.....

Roverlord only have OE seal for the head... not sure about that, but i think i'll grab it then look for a new oring for the original plastic plug. Hopefully i can source the link from the handle, and then i have to decide what to do about the latch, try and get a bit of adjustment out of it, replace it with a second hand one or a new one...

I suppose it's better to have dust than rust...

I drained the Provent and a mate remove the propshaft centre bearing shell. Next job is to rebuild the prop shaft and instal it on the car.

Thinking of catch cans, I can’t figure out where to mount it in a TD5 with ACE and a 2nd battery. Obviously too close to the turbo is bad but tats the only space I can find. Can’t get it to fit below the PS reservoir. Any ideas?

I have a second battery. On the air compressor shelf

I have seen one mounted near the ABS unit attached to the shock strut and one close to the air box. Sorry no pics available
