  Written by: coachdubya on Dec 21, 2007 12:21:43 PM

  I got a P2539 code on my 2001 Disco II today. My regular mechanic said I have a coolant leak that they don't have the equipment to get to, but suggested that I watch the level and add coolant when necessary since it's a small leak. He didn't know how much the dealer would charge to fix it. When I put the P2539 code into RepairSolutions database, it took me to ... Read More

  I have a 2001 Disco II with 77,000. My ABS, HDC and TC lights all went on at the same time. Dealer says the ECU SLABS unit is defective and needs to be replaced. I keep seeing so-called recalls on this problem, but when I called Land Rover North America, they said no such recall exist. To fix the problem, you are looking at replacing the ECU SLABS, speed sensors, hubs, ... Read More

  On my 2001 Discovery II SE7 the left horn button popped up and when I took it off the tip of one of the 4 prongs was broken. Then a week or so later my right horn button popped off completely and I've never been able to find it. I contacted British Pacific, but they want $91.00 for the horn assembly. Does anyone know of a source for just the buttons, ... Read More

  I am wondering if anyone can give me some meaningful advise. I have a wonderful 2001 Disco II (ace) with about 46k miles. So far it has been relatively trouble free except for a leaky gasket that was fixed last month under warranty. Overall the truck has been great and has been trouble free with some minor problems but nothing major. It drives like new. I have driven the new LR3 ... Read More

  Hi all. This is my first time posting on this forum, but I wanted to share some of my thoughts on the Disco II. My friend and I both purchased them around the same time.

Our concern is with the cost of maintenance and are the brakes very troublesome. What is the expected gas mileage of this vehicle?

  Needing a Land Rover fix, as I await the delivery of the 2002 Discovery's, "02 Discovery" was on the prowl again. This time a "dart" to the map landed us at a land Rover dealership in New Jersey. The salesman, who I will call "John" was truly a fan of the Land Rovers which he sells. A most enjoyable visit to a fully equipped Land Rover Center. No pressures, just honest ... Read More

  Thanks to tincup47 for that offline comments on the Disco... I was going to wait for the 2002 Disco, but since there are no major changes over the 2001 I decided to purchase a 2001 model.

  Written by: ljroveraround on Jul 9, 2001 6:09:48 AM

  Would this imply that Land Rover recalled the SUV for some Major Reason and the Owner may or may have not taken the SUV in for service? I feel good about the millage and really don't have a problem with the fact that the SUV is a 1998 versus 1999,2000 2001 etc. For the price, performance and quality for some reason I feel better about purchasing a used Range than a ...

  Happened across this message board and it seems like a great place to ask questions! So here's mine: we're thinking of buying a 2001 Discovery II SE and are not too familiar with its reputation in terms of maintenance and reliablity. We're not ones to buy a vehicle, get tired of it and resell - our current cars all have over 100K miles on them. So how long can we expect ... Read More

  I need some advice from the Land Rover owners out there. My wife and I just bought a 2001 Disco II SE7 on 4/28. Yesterday, while my wife was driving, the car while in motion, bucked as a manual transmission would when you start it w/o the clutch down. At the same time the Traction Control, Anti-Lock Brakes and Hill Descent Control lights all came on. She was able to pull ... Read More

  We purchased a 2001 Land Rover Discovery Series II last October in San Diego. Its a Silver SE7, with ACE and lightstone interior. As a side note, it did not have the rear air. The benefit is you have more rear cargo room than rear air equipped vehicles. Based on several of the negative posts on this site, we were somewhat skeptical to proceed, but based on comparison test drives of ... Read More
