What happened to your Discovery 2 today?

Noticed that Jollys in Dandenong are wrecking a Td5 with engine available.

I'm just gunna say mine started. [bighmmm]

My guess at this stage is that the chain tensioner disintegrated.
Further investigation will reveal all....
Either way I reckon the engine is kaput so I'm now on the hunt for either a reasonably priced 10p Td5 or another car.

Couple of low kms D2a on Carsales...
And as always... gumtree

Glad to report that absolutely nothing went wrong on our recent relocation from the Wimmera to Bowen, QLD.
Towing the 2 tonne trailer sailer was a breeze tho I had to drive on the Nanocom temperature gauge.
The chirruping has stopped and the harmonic balancer didn't fall off.
My only complaint was that it was a wee bit hot on 40+ days not being able to use the ac or wind down the driver's window.
As usual impressed with the fuel economy from 7 to 8 km to litre.
All in all a successful trip and thinking of keeping the beast if we can get through the roadworthy. 😊
Cheers
Pete

A member told me they are not allowing self stripping on parts on land rovers and staff will so it as the realise some parts are worth more and not on the generic parts prices like other cars, Any one else heard this?

I noticed this D2 is on a 'premium' category and they pull the parts for you - hadn't seen that before and I've gotten parts for my D2 from time to time.
The D1's listed are regular U-pull.

Tried to keep it in the 80s (upper end) but on inclines it would set off the Nanocom warning and I'd drop the speed down. Inclines all in 3rd locked. One very hot day I drove in mainly 3rd L and I don't have fuel figures for that. Mostly in the low 90s that day. Having dropped speed and reset the Nanocom it was already down to 94/96.
Oil still looks good and never needed to top up the rad.

Has anyone else noticed their Td5 getting really laggy off the line in this hot weather? Mines an auto with a new maf reading correctly through nanocom so can rule that out.
Had a couple of pretty dodgy roundabout and other intersection experiences around town. Just won't rev until vehicle has rolled into intersection then slowly builds before turbo seems to spool up and takes off.
Temps are really hot though, talking 43-45 over the last few days.
