Recently purchased this 02 disco 2 and was changing the front diff fluid and the plus was COVERED in goop and metal shavings. Also a tiny spring fell out.

Am I cooked??

Led a group of friends to catch the last snow of the season. White Disco 2 in white covered mountains looking 👌

@boomermanicotti in case anyone cares

Here is my new (to me) 2002 D2 SD, just over 160k miles, about to do some PMCS on her in the next month or so and address the bits and bobs that need fixing. Starting with the blinkers🤙🏼

Hey everyone,

I have a 2024 Land Rover Discovery with factory air suspension and OEM Pirelli 275/45R21 tires on the stock 21s.

Honestly, I’m disappointed with the ride quality. Houston roads are terrible and this thing feels way harsher than I expected for a luxury SUV. Expansion joints, rough pavement, potholes, etc. all feel pretty rough. Almost too sporty/stiff.

I’m NOT looking for sporty handling at all. I want the smoothest, quietest, most “floating/glass ride” setup possible. Think cloud-like luxury SUV ride.

Current setup:
OEM Pirelli 275/45R21
Factory 21” wheels
Factory air suspension

A few questions:

- What is the absolute comfiest tire you’ve personally used on an SUV?

- Which tire has the softest ride and least road noise?

- Would switching away from the OEM Pirellis make a major difference?

- Is Michelin really that much smoother?

- Should I keep the 21s or go down to 20s for comfort?

Not worried about aggressive handling or sporty feel. Comfort is priority #1.

Would love real-world recommendations before I spend a ton on tires/rims.

Thanks!

New to me in the past few months, 180k miles and still kicking. I got my RTT onto it and went camping last weekend. It worked great and I'm getting ready for our next camping trip in 2 weeks.

I just got back from the dealership… test drove a slightly used 2025 discovery with a six cylinder engine.

Loved it…handled great and seemed so much more tight and nimble compared to my Tahoe.

Probably gonna pull the trigger on Monday…slightly concerned with the reliability reputation.

Any advice from those with this generation of Disco?

Hi folks, trying to track down this rear splitter with integrated exhaust tips. Looks quite OEM so might be adapted from a RR or similar? May also be a US-spec option... (I’m in the UK). Any guidance much appreciated!

Edit:

Solved by u/fatbob_166. It’s a rare OEM option called the Appearance Package / Exterior Design Pack. You can find the LR part numbers here if you’re interested:

Interior and walk around of my 1996 Disco 1. Bought from the original owner who babied it. Not going to be so lucky with me!

If anybody has a lead on an actuator for the rear step, I’d love to find one.

Also looking into a very modest lift, just to increase clearance a little more. Would love to hear your thoughts there.

They are stuck and I also tried to press the lever (the hook inside the seat) with a screwdriver, spent 3 hours, no luck at all. Anyone had this fixed?

Little run off the fire roads out West.

The listing only has the one photo which is a red flag anyway, and I’m not trying to buy this one. It just strikes me as a weird thing to put effort into changing with AI, assuming the person worked from a reference image.

Edit: Thank you for the advice everyone! I will start with replacing the overflow tank and coolant tubes and if the issue still isn't resolved I'll result to head gasket replacement. Unfortunate that the seller lied about condition of car but I only paid 1.3k for it so I'll still consider it a win even if shes got a few issues needing fixed.

Hello, This is my first time owning a land rover I found a 2000 D2 on FB marketplace with only 118k miles and got a really good deal for it. Seller originally told me there were no issues with it and then we got there to check it out and he told me it needs a new battery... so he had to jump the car for us to even test drive it but a new battery is an easy fix so not a big deal. We test drove it for 10 minutes, everything seemed fine except for the what everyone calls "The three amigos" lights being on. So we decided to take it home. On the way home and the temperature guage goes all the way up and red light turns on. Text the seller to ask about any overheating issues and he says probably just needs coolant. We put coolant in it filled it all the way to the top and then drove it around the block to get gas. Was fine for 10 minutes then temperature guage goes all the way up and red lights on again. Popped the hood and the reservoir is smoking from the cap and it is completely empty as well as coolant is sprayed all over the engine. The overflow hose from the reservoir is bent upwards compared to other photos I've seen its suppose to be bent down. There's no leaks under the car and no other signs of head gasket failure, (no milky oil, no exhaust smoke) could it possibly just be a bad cap or is that overflow hose facing the wrong direction the problem? Just looking for some advice on next steps, much appreciated, thank you! Sorry the photos were taken at night I can take lighter ones tomorrow morning if needed.

I own a disco 4 in black and I would love some chrome trim does anyone has any suggestions or brands to look out for

It’s got a ton of new parts, unused AC compressor, strut tower, brand new brake booster newly rebuilt starter motor. Also have a roof rack. Lmk what you want!
