Got my Flowkooler waterpump for my Disco 2 today and 5 of the 12 fins are scraped up and there is some scraping on the gasket surface. I imagine it would be ok but not super happy given the price. Would you run this on your truck?

2003, pretty much stock except for the front bumper. High mileage at 240k but otherwise fairly good condition

Hey all,

Recently purchased this stunning disco 1 1995 however it came without a stereo, no big deal I thought. Just wire a cheap one in from Repco with harness job done.

However I’ve been searching and searching and cannot seem to find the connectors anywhere!

I’ve attached some pictures, I’m at a loose end here and as much as I love the sound of a 300tdi, It is wearing on me :(

Thought I'd post the updates to this rig been working on it over the last year and it's now being daily driven. Tons of work to get it to this point. Like many discos when you pick them up they have a lot of deferred maintenance by previous owners and it's all a catch up game. I bought this about a year ago it's a 1995 (5 speed) D1 with pretty much the full options package which is interesting as many of the manual ones in the early years at least in the US market are all pretty base spec with no sunroofs or leather.

Despite popular trends I quite like the higher spec trucks and they are quite nice if you find them in decent condition and can keep them that way. Had an 03 and 04 D2 before this but always wanted a manual D1 V8. Been a lot of fun getting this old girl back to a reliable state. (149k miles currently)

So far have done the following.

-Re-sealed sunroofs

-Full suspension refresh + bushings

-New brake calipers and discs all the way around.

-new power steering pump and lines

-reseal of entire engine top end and powdercoat and ceramic coating components and fixing exhaust leaks.

-RTE front bumper and 12k winch.

-terrafirma rock sliders

-front runner rack

-(front and rear driveshafts still need to install)

-spare R380 needs a rebuild current one second gear syncro is not happy.

2021 HSE with 88k miles on it. My start stop system doesn't work, but I'd like it to. I like my cars to be perfect so this has to get fixed.

Took it to the dealer and they couldn't communicate with the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) as they called it.

Quoted 2600 to replace. I'm assuming the BECM is part of the 48v battery. Knowing JLR and dealers in general, they'll replace the whole battery right?

I found a local guy who can fix the BECM for $700, but I don't want to go through the trouble of removing the battery myself since the passenger seat has to come out that seems like a huge PITA.

Has anyone had to this on their disco, and if so how did you go about it? TIA

She usually idles fine since I always turn off the auto stop start feature. It has 55k miles and is well maintained. New battery, PCV diaghram replaced, cleaned the intake all the way to the turbo inlet, new air filters, cleaned MAF sensors, cleared all faults with LR scan tool, etc. Sumbitch if it doesn't periodically stumble all over at idle then catch itself right before stalling and repeat. Could it need simply a throttle cleaning? I sprayed a can of CRC intake cleaner through which helped a lot on performance. Also rans some Amsoil fuel system cleaner through the tank and did an engine oil flush with LiquiMoly. I fear it's likely dirty valves if GDI buildup but am stumped. I know enough to not want to attempt that job myself😁 Any insight would be much appreciated. it runs great otherwise and I love it. Got 30 mpg on one trip running Amzoil in the gear boxes and Liqui Moly in the engine.

Spotted this lovely Discovery (2 I think) whilst walking around Tokyo. happened to be the only other Landy I saw here, the other was a modern Range Rover.

Hey! I want to buy this landrover but i’m not sure if it’s a first edition or hse or something else , that’s the only pictures that i have for now , can someone help me know what edition is it , thank you

he visto en el frontal del Discovery 5 que tiene un par de agujeros en el paragolpes delantero , sabéis para que son? hay dos en cada lado

I finally found the jingling noise on my D2. The dust cap between the crank pulley and the engine case is sliding between the two and making noise. The crank pulley looks fine. Can I remove the dust shield or is there an easy way to make the noise stop?

Hopefully I can get her back on the road soon, the picture is the drivers side sill and floor panel before and after polishing just so I can see where good metal is.

I know the passenger side is also in bad shape and the boot floor panel needs some tlc also. But once this bodywork is complete it's on to the mechanical side of things and that's what I'm more comfortable doing I'm just learning as I go when it comes to bodywork repair.

Does it only at low speeds. Turns, bumps, and when going straight. Doesn’t do like a constant tap tap tap, just a lot of harsh clicks.

I also think I have a click coming from the steering box/steering u-joint. With the car sitting parked if you turn the wheel quickly left and right there’s a clunk with that too. Or when doing opposite turn when going to park.

I’ve replaced everything on the suspension except for radius arms about a month ago, and the truck has been fine until now

I have service records of front driveshaft being replaced 3 years ago, and rear flex joint 5 years ago.

I’m thinking CV joints before I rip everything apart? Any input would be great thanks
