Hi all, Random one for you. I recently acquired a norbar 4r torque wrench.. It was bent and needed the ratchet replacing, all of which I've dealt with. Using length x weight I can see it needs calibrating as it breaks about 15% early. I want to have a go myself, I can get an exploded diagram of...

Hi all, decided to finally get around to blanking egr today. My disco has egr cooling and the instructions I've read say leave it in place and just blank the exhaust pipe closest to the egr. However, the coolant to reservoir pipe PCH001360 was very brittle and broke, I finished the job and just...

Not sure what I've done to deserve the ire of the LR gods.. Just realised I bought my disco exactly 13 years ago, must have something to do with it!?.. She's been running lovely for ages, then in the last couple of weeks, lifter got frozen in front window and fell to pieces, oil leak I just...

I know.. I know, its just marking it territory, but I'm afraid that doesn't wash with the missus and the increasingly noticeable patch on my driveway! Little drip 6 months ago, got progressively worse until I've had to do something about it. Were definitely leaks from sump gasket and rocker...

Evening everyone, I've had a knocking from the rear drivers side wheel/suspension for a while.. And surprisingly, ignoring it hasn't made it any better?! It happens whenever I turn right and unload that rear wheel, gives me a rapid knocking.. I've changed the anti roll bar links as they needed...

Hi all, just been under the disco replacing the front roll bar links when I noticed one of my front springs has snapped on the bottom coil (break fairly oxidised so been like it for a while I'm guessing). Searched for some replacement springs and bearmach are doing heavy duty ones that look like...

Hi all, coming back from a round of golf a couple of days ago to find a trail of diesel behind my disco and a puddle underneath. Doesn't leak when engine not running, but when it is, I'm getting a steady stream from rear of the tank, flowing down through the frame rail.. 5 mins of online...

Hi all.. Monkeys at longleat have destroyed my washer jets! Looked at the genuine part DNJ500090, which run at £20+ each..but noticed that the freelander 2 jets LR048709 and the discovery 3/4 jets LR049290 all look identical in pictures but are only around a fiver?! Anyone know if the sizes etc...

Hi all, my latest little project on my D2 is retrofitting Powerfold mirrors.. bought a used set of mirrors, ECU and the switch only to find my car doesn't have the loom. With some help from this forum, I've managed to make my own and plumb it all in, bit fiddly actually making the plug for the...

Hi all, Thought I'd treat myself to used set of powerfold mirrors as I do fold the mirrors in quite often. I didn't look into it properly before I bought some off of fleabay.. but came to find my Serengeti doesn't have the powerfold loom! There's plenty between Rave and this forum about to...

Hi all, Just bought a set of powerfold mirrors, with the module and switch.. I had a brief search around forums beforehand and generally it looked like a straight forward swap. I'm expecting delivery today or tomorrow, so thought I'd just have a quick look behind the glovebox for the plug to...

Morning all, drivers side window made a loud bang yesterday and jammed ..I've taken it all apart today, and the regulator is shot. Problem was that I couldn't wind it down to release window etc, so had to dismantle with the window up. When I get the part, will the motor "know" it's in the up...

Afternoon all.. Not sure what I've done to anger the landrover gods recently, but I'm having problem after problem! Today's goes like this. ..I have 2 keys for my disco and in the last few days they've both been acting like the batteries are low, I just changed on one of them and tried to...

Hi all, just managed to get my D2 back to good running order after a few issues, she's going as good as ever, but I don't think I get better than about 20mpg..its an auto and mostly shirt trips, so not miles from what I'd expect, but still got me thinking about any improvements I might be able...

Hi, can anyone tell me if there are any variations in the compressor between v8 & td5...or between older 10p engines and newer ones? Thanks

Hi all, I recently blew my drivebelt.. All now sorted, but it led to an overheat which latched my aircon fan on, thanks to knowledgeable bods on this forum, I managed to source a hawkeye and sort.. Problem now is that aircon not blowing cold..it did before I blew the belt. Got some solid...

Hi all, had an overheat a few weeks back and the aircon fan locked on as it is designed to do.. Reading through several posts, I understand you need a proper code reader to disable/Reset. (tried a local indie but he hadn't heard of it before and wanted £40 to clear and codes it was showing...

Hi all, after owning my D2 for 8 years, she's been really good to me, but I've had a few issues over the last couple of weeks.. which I think, with help from this forum, are now sorted. It's got me thinking I should be showing her a little more tlc. I have a cheaper diagnostic icarsoft i930...

Hi all, but of a puzzler.. I recently had an overheat and ended up changing the rad .. It wasn't without a few hiccups and I did need to cap a pipe on the radiator, but I'm fairly sure that's OK . Thing is I've driven a few times since completing the job over the last few days maybe 30miles in...

Afternoon all .. not sure if anyone can help with my situation , it's starting to shake my normally cheery disposition.. Long story short (ish).. blew my drive belt a few weeks back and that's led to me changing that and the crankshaft pulley.. After some sage advice from this forum and some...
