muddyplugger Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Firstly let me say that I am pleased with my Disco II (1999 T reg GS), but its the bad pionts you're after so here are the things that have gone amis with mine. The 3 amigos ABS, HDC & TC lights on and off like a brides nighty! - Still no cure and now I have an ABS wheel sensor fault and they are on all the time. It is a common fault with the ABS system and has/is costing owners a few quid to rectify (if ever) I have had a new injection wiring harness (dont know how you can test if that will be faulty till it fills with oil) I have had a new Viscous fan (bearings went) had done 115K though. Sun roof leaks if I park it up hill. (wet rear carpet) New radiator (problem with 1999 models 'aparently') Not too bad really! I have heard that exhaust valves can stick, but I guess check for proper maintaince schedlue etc etc. The rear doors can be a problem, check the thing opens! The key lock in the rear door gets bunged up with crud, check that works. I would also check the service manual and see if it has had the recalls (if recorded), I know Land Rover did recall certain Discos for numerous problems including ABS modulator, fuel lines, the ACE pump, handbreak adjustment, but as to which VIN numbers I dont know!
