Driver side rear sitting very low today after its deflated over a couple of days, assuming its the airbag rather than pipe/other place of a leak as it rises back to normal height when engine starts and sits there happily, so must be a slow/small...
Thats positive that it can be preserved and dont need to fork out again for the regas. I've decided to hand the car to my local specialist as we have an amber ACE light come on, sunroof motor (I assume) has stopped and this morning the driver...
Yes that seems to be the issue unfortunately, the AC works and it doesnt make the noise for ever but does get the neighbours and passers by looking! Will live with it for now, we only got it regassed last year :rolleyes:
Hi, the auxiliary belt has an automatic tensioner so you can't tighten it. As @Stanleysteamer says Gates (or Contitech/Dayco I used Dayco belt & tensioner on mine, 3 years old now, no squeals etc).
Narrowed it down. When the central inner section of the compressor isn’t spinning it’s silent. When it’s turning with the outer wheel and belt it squeals
After deafening myself looking at it with the bonnet open, the screeching seems mostly concentrated around the air con compressor though it’s so loud it’s hard to tell. Waited for the noise to stop, switched the air con on and the squeal came...
Hi all
On cold starts our TD5 D2 (with ace and air con) has a loud high pitch squeal for several seconds. Driving off it continues and gets louder with revs then it’ll stop for the rest of the day.
Is it likely the fan belt needs tightening? If...
If the sump isn't entirely flat then adjust with a Landrover service tool such that the flange between the holes touches the block first. That way the bolts will tighten the gasket throughout.
Hi
I’ve a 1992, 3.9 V8 auto RR classic, it had its head/cams etc rebuilt a couple of years ago, I brought it out of winter storage last week and it seems to have a tapping noise under load which increases intensity with loaded engine speed. It’s...
Thanks, luckily the sump pan is in good condition and seems very even around the connecting edge, I ordered a 'genuine Land Rover' gasket which isnt very thin but isnt thick, paper type though sadly didnt come in any branded bag was just loose in...
Hi all
I’ve taken the sump off my 1982 Series 3 which has a 2.5 NA diesel (no engine number available) but has red painted sump / block.
The Haynes says to use gasket or RTV but not sure which on mine, there was a gasket on it but it was...
Hi, I really like the authentic look of the Safari 500 driving lights for the D2, does anyone have any sitting around in their garage or shed?
Need to be working and in good condition please. Thanks

Hi
When looking at second hand safari 5000 lights, how do tell whether the product is the spot light or the fog lights? Are they different sizes/diameters?
Thanks
The development of diagnostics compatible with OBDII protocols moved at different urgencies at Land Rover. The petrol Discoverys were compatible by the mid to late 1990's, probably to meet some obscure EU ruling. The diesel Discoverys, including...
