For Discovery 2 Repairs you have landed at the right place, here at K Motors we have been Independent Specialists in Land Rover repairs since 1957.
Although it doesn’t look too dissimilar to the Discovery 1 in appearance, the Discovery 2 range was launched in autumn of 1998, in fact the only common body panel was the handle press on the rear tailgate. Whilst under BMW ownership two new engines were introduced, the new 5 cylinder turbo diesel Td5 and the 4.0 litre V8 petrol. The Disco 2 had much better road handling courtesy of Self Leveling Suspension and Active Cornering Enhancement along with Electronic Traction Control, Electronic Brake Distribution and Hill Descent Control.
All this new electronic equipment means that most repairs generally start with a diagnostic report to tell you where the faults may lie. As well as our extensive knowledge and experience in Discovery 2 repairs we also have the very latest Autologic diagnostic equipment and technical support to aid in any fault finding. Here we have a list of the more common Discovery 2 faults, symptoms and costs* to repair.
Discovery 2 Repair Estimates
| Col #1 | Col #2 | Col #3 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Discovery 2 Repairs – Fuel Pump | ||||
| Replace in tank fuel pump (OEM) | £269 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Fuel Pressure Regulator A common fault again on the Td5 is a fuel leak, you will notice a puddle on the floor situated towards the back of the engine on the drivers side. This is most likely caused by the fuel pressure regulator, the whole unit will need replacing. | ||||
| Replace fuel pressure regulator (OEM) | £233 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Starter Motor As a result of the fuel pressure regulator leaking if it has been happening for a while then you may find the starter motor will stop working intermittently, this is due to it filling with diesel and the starter will need replacing. | ||||
| Replace starter motor (OEM) | £280 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Shuttle valve ABS Affectionately known as the ‘3 Amigos’; the ABS, Traction Control and Hill Descent warning lights on the dash will be permanently illuminated. The most common cause is a faulty shuttle valve switch on the ABS module. | ||||
| Replace ABS shuttle valve (OEM) | £205 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Fuel Injector Loom Harness A well reported issue on the Td5 engine is a misfire which is caused by oil forcing its way down the injector harness and into the ECU. To check, pull the red connector off the ECU (next to the battery) and look for evidence of oil inside the wiring harness, if there is any trace of oil then the loom will need replacing. | ||||
| Replace fuel injector wiring loom (OEM) | £150 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Fuel Injector Seals & Washers Another cause of poor running or difficult starting can be the injector seals and washers leaking, it is not uncommon for them to perish with age. Always replace with genuine LR seals as they are made of a composite material and not just rubber so they will last much longer. | ||||
| Replace fuel injector seals and washers (Genuine LR) | £300 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Water Pump Loss of coolant is generally caused by a faulty water pump, it can leak between the cover and pump or between the pulley drive and the pump. In extreme cases the internal bearing can fail in the pump itself. The water pump is not a serviceable part and will need replacing. | ||||
| Replace water pump (OEM) | £210 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs - Rear Suspension Air Springs | ||||
| If the vehicle drops at the rear overnight then the chances are that one of the suspension air bags has a leak. Over time either the rubber can crack but most commonly it is where the spring rolls over itself. To test put the suspension in extended mode and spray the air bags with soapy water and look for bubbles to locate the leak. | ||||
| Rear suspension air spring (single OEM) | £120 | |||
| Rear suspension air springs (both OEM) | £210 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Air Suspension Compressor If the suspension has been dropping for a while due to a leak then the air compressor pump has to work much harder constantly pumping air to keep the vehicle level. Although they are generally reliable this extra work can cause them to fail prematurely. | ||||
| Replace air suspension compressor (OEM) | £430 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Front Shock Absorber Lower Bushes Although the suspension components are pretty hard wearing, this is a heavy vehicle and the most common MOT failure is the front lower shock absorber bushes. It is often difficult to tell when driving the car but on inspection you can see that the rubber bush separates from the metal casing. | ||||
| Replace front shock absorber lower bushes (OEM) | £110 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Front Brake Pad Replacement If low brake pads are spotted early before any metal on metal damage is caused to the disc then just the pads can be changed. Generally once the warning light has come on it is too late and discs will need to be changed also due to scoring. | ||||
| Front brake pads replacement (both sides OEM) | £95 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Front Brake Discs and Pads If brake pads have worn low and scored the discs then it is advisable to change both for optimum performance. The average life of brake discs is around 32,000 miles, after this they are considered too thin and will have a lip around the edge where just fitting new pads will take too long to bed in and most likely cause a squealing sound each time you apply the brakes. | ||||
| Front brake discs and pads replacement (Both sides) | £205 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Rear Brake Pad Replacement If low brake pads are spotted early before any metal on metal damage is caused to the disc then just the pads can be changed. Generally once the warning light has come on it is too late and discs will need to be changed also due to scoring. | ||||

| Rear brake discs and pads replacement (Both sides) | £185 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Clutch Replacement A slipping clutch will cause the engine to rev higher while the vehicle does not accelerate as quickly. Another sign that the clutch is failing is that the indicator on the dash which informs of the gear the vehicle is in is slow to react when you change gear. | ||||
| Replace clutch cover, clutch plate and release bearing (OEM) | £495 | |||
| Discovery 2 Repairs – Clutch and Dual Mass Flywheel Replacement A dual mass flywheel absorbs the vibration from the engine and rarely outlasts a clutch, we would always advise replacing both at the same time. | ||||
