  1. Hi all My ignition has been giving me trouble for the past few weeks and i took it out to see if i could fix it. I managed to get it going but the ignition barrel will need replacing in the new future.. However when reinstalling it I am left with these 2 plugs which appear to have no home?(picture 1). I don't remember them being lose when I started so I am wondering if anyone can shed some light on their home or purpose? I did think that the big white one might marry with the striped one in the 2nd photo but they do not appear to want to do so and I don't want to force it until I know.. All suggestions and comments welcome
  2. Thanks for the information Teabag. But just wondering where I might get a barrel replacement? Any suggestions Thanks
  3. My 2003 ignition is stuck in place and will not move. Seems something broke inside as little metal shavings came out on the key. What is involved in replacing it? Presumably i will need a new key as well as just the barrel? Are there likely to be any issues with electronics on the key talking to the car? All information and suggestions welcome
  4. Hi I recently had to replace the high pressure fuel line from the fuel pump in my 2003 Discovery (TD5 with 190K miles on the clock) Today I have a small leak in the top Radiator hose pipe. I think it is time for me to replace the hoses that are likely to cause problems in the future. Any advice as to what hoses I should replace and which ones do not cause problems.
  5. Hi all. Does anyone know what the sensor under the oil filter on a Disco 2 2003. TD5 engine is for. There are 2 wires coming from it (black and white) and running over the top of the gearbox and then vanishing into the invisible area there. The sensor has a yellow cover to which the wires are attached. The reason I ask is that I was changing the oil in my Disco and saw one of the wires is unattached but there are no warning lights and the Disco is going just dandy. Any suggestions
  6. Yes you can but not sure it will last. I just tightened mine down on the rubber and added extra drain outlets at the rear of the sunroof and fed them out the rear of the vehicle. Not had a leak that i have noticed since
  7. It sounds like the Radio player itself is broken. Why not just replace it ??
  8. Has anyone here actually recovered their headliner with material. How hard was it to do and where did you get the material and glue?
  9. Hi GuysI need to weld the inner wings of my D2. I was looking at how I might approach this task and see a number of bolts along the top of the wing. Does the wing just bolt off or it is also glued and tack welded in places? Any suggestions or advice welcomeHugh
  10. Wow ......inundated with replies..Very unusual
  11. Hi guys My drivers door on my 2003 Discovery 2 will not open on fob so I am guessing the actuator is busted. Does anyone know the part number and what is involved in replacing same? On a similar note the back door on one side will not open from inside. It seems the child lock is engaged even though is it not. Any suggestions before I start to take it apart Thanks Hugh
  12. I have this happen a lot in my 03 Disco 2 over the years. It does exactly what you have said and continues to turn over with no start. BUT when I take the key out of the ignition and exit the vehicle (locking it) It normally starts first time on retry (once or twice I had to have a second go at it). Now why should this happen is the question....... The best answer I have come up with is the Disco brain is not recognising the key as the correct key and it should start and kicks in the immobiliser to prevent theft. By disengaging the key and presenting it again the Disco brain recognises the key and starts correctly. Well that is what I think and unless someone else has a better explanation I am sticking with it
  13. Anyone ever renewed or welded inner wings. are there patches available or do I need to fabricate them? Hugh
  14. Hi all The compass on my mirror seems to have given up the ghost. It is now only showing 100 rather than the direction of travel. Any idea where I look to fix it 2003 Disco 2 TD5 Auto Hugh
