Mine was the same last winter, did lose some water also. Proved to be a blown head gasket!!!!!

I was wrong: it amounted to 4222£ !!!!

I bought a suspension remote on e-bay. Of course without any code tag attached. It seems it can be reprogrammed for my disco using a six digit code that should be inside the fob. Does anyone know WHERE inside the fob i could find these 6 digits?????? thx

got the verdict from my garage today: cracked head! looking forward to foot the bill for this one (around 3500£ I guess)

Is it possible that the first series disco II had a problem with the cylinder head? My independant LR garage says that in the first series the head tends to shift after a certain period AND that it is impossible to diagnose this by any other means than by lifting the head. Can the gasket leak be there and be undetected, I see no traces of mayonaise in the oil.

OK, you've done it... burst my bubble that is. What do you mean by not a great shake, in pounds that is (or in euros for that is what we are counting in on the continent for as long as it takes), in a garage?????

1. the cooling system was pressurised on a cold engine: no apparent leaks 2. An exhaust gas analyser was used on the expansion tank on a running and revving engine: no HC's Conclusion: there was no obvious reason for coolant loss, yet it does loose coolant. (occasionally) I started her today after a stand still of 4 days: no smoke whatsoever. I did 355 kms and lost no significant amount of coolant. Is this perhaps an example of a rare selfrepairing car????

It indeed looses tiny quantities of coolant bot nothing really spectacular, the level in the reservoir goes down about a quart after 300 miles or so. Would that be the gasket, I read somewhere about a bolt hidden by the exhaust collector that has an o-ring that could cause problems.

For some months now my td5 lays a white-blueish smoke screen when driving away , after the first start of the day. It takes about half a mile to loose the smoke, after that all is fine. Glowplugs were replaced a month ago (only 1 out of 4 proved to be working) but to no avail. Btw, why only 4 glowplugs in a 5 cylinder engine??? Car did 214000 kms and is a 2001 disco td5. Anyone any idea what can be the cause of this smokescreening??????

I wonder.... what will happen when the weather gets any better, what when the sun shines: won't you be showered by molten vaseline?????

Thx a lot.Will try that!

The left hand side of my dash is in the dark (hard to read the fuel gauge now), and so is the illumination of the clock. I suppose it is safe to say that from both the light bulbs have gone. How do I gain access to them, from behind, ie from the engine side or can I remove something from the driver side to gain access????

I have a grand total of five granddaughters that we (my wife and I) regularly pick up from school. The two youngest consider the 2 seats in the 3rd row as THEIR seats and are quite comfy and safe in there, strapped in with the additional headrests locked down. The granddaughters are the main reason I was looking for the seven seater that I own since december last and I heave not had a second of regret in buying it. (disco 2, build 2000 with 210000 kms on the clock and running smoothly)

THx for the quick answer, but I found the part with Britcar on the internet as partn° AWR4716

Hello, I'm looking for the RH fog lamp surround for my Disco II year 2000? It's a plastic moulding that surrounds the factory fitted rectangular fog lamp. Thx Guy
