HI Folks, I know there are guides and heaps of posts related to the D2 air suspension, but this one is slightly different in that I want to ask if my case has happened to others? I found the car with the arse end sat low down one day after parking up, but it was not down to the bump stops...

Folks, If you have never removed the inner female thread section of a top hose bleed screw, then it looks like this... How your shed floor will look when you empty your top hose contents... I still love the old girl and get a buzz from fixing the little niggles!! New homemade bleed screw...

Hi Folks, BIg heavy handed bugger I am! I just snapped my top hose bleed screw and did not know how the rear connected so removed the hose worried it would fall down into the water pump. I tried to remove teh broken scew and the whole fitting fell into the hose... DOH! I have done a bodge on...

Hi Folks, I will be putting my sump back on tomorrow but am a little confused with the RAVE description. Could someone please pass on some guidance?? What are cruciform seals? Are these the little black Ts highlighted in teh sketch above? With regard to the 5mm bead of sealant required...

Hi Folks, Well, after making tools over the past two days for a full front cover strip down in order to swap my oil pump over. I followed the RAVE order of strip down (appart from a sneaky loosening of crank pulley) and this afternoon I got the sump off, after a battle of course! Looked up at...

Hi again folks, Well this morning the new crank pulley locking tool was made up from measurments I took yesterday. Looks just like this... Again made it pretty grunty thinking it would be getting a bash. Also made the handle very long as you can see so it would be up at the top of the...

Hi Folks, Well the crank pulley tool is made and fitted ut can I hell get the pulley nut to budge! Before I get bashing the hell out of it, cansomeone please confirm the direction and type of thread of the securing nut on this crank pulley please? Engine is 2001 V8 Petrol. RAVE manual just...

Hi Folks, Just thought I would share these tools with you all. Made them up today expecting my fan to put up a fight with my hammer, hence them being so grunty! But it must have realised I meant buisness and I didnt even need to show it the hammer at all. Worked a treat... A few hours of...

Hi Folks, Having strange trouble this past week and its got me baffled. I have searched for solutions and see various people having oil pressure issues but not intermittently like me just now? Started last week when towing a car trailer and I heard fast rattles under the bonnet like there was...

Hi Folks, Looking to do a reset on my mirror display compass but I dont have a workshop manual and so am unsure what code number I require for my area. I belive these are all listed in the book, but I only have a copy of Europe. So would anyone please be able to tell me what the code ZONE...

I do believe the same motors are used for D1 and D2 so this will apply to both. I will assume that folks have already tested their electrics and worked out that their motor is not playing games. This normally happens after the dreaded leaky sunroof issues and when people have left things...

Hi Folks, I finally got round to putting the twin roof motors back in and connecting the switches up tonight and on pressing each switch I just hear a relay type clicking sound from the control module. No movement in either roof at all. But each direction of each switch does make the click...

Hi Folks, Looking to order up some new gaskets for my D2 roof rails and notice that there are upper and lower gaskets listed for each of the four corners. Do I need to order two for each bolt as I just see the square gasket from the outside? Where do the cut away shaped upper gaskets...

Hi Folks, Not your usual thread of how to fix the discovery series 2 leaking roof problems, not even a how to thread I suppose? But just thought a few wanting to tackle the job might get inspired by my current ongoing works... I have had the drips and the steamy windows for around 18 months...

Hi Folks, I am guessing that many D2 owners have now fixed the leaky roof syndrome, so would like to ask a question relating to putting everything back together again. I will reseal the drain pots and also seal the outer plastic trim to the outside of the roof. But what about the metal...

Hi Folks, A few weeks back when towing a car trailer through a mountain range I noticed my transmission temperature light was illuminated on the dash. I let everything cool down and set off again, it came back on within 10 minutes. I eventually made it home and just put the light down to...

Just looking this monring and I see where the rear arch comes aorund and meets the body where the rear mud guard is, there is a small little "shelf" that has trapped mud and grit on it. This to me seems like a perfect place for crevice corrosion to start life and cause truble down the line...

I love my shed I do...! It still work in progress but the shell is now up and as of today I will have power connected up, both 3 phase and single. Have always had a shed fettish, and know I am not alone! All shapes and sizes do it for me. So folks get em out for the lads...!! Mine looks...

Hi Folks, Just bought a set of new 18" rims for very cheap on a local auction site in NZ. How does 50 quid for a set of four brand new genuine 18" LR alloys sound by the way? But not really thinking before I put my silly bid on about tyre choice. I thought I would be outbid, but was not and...

Hello again, Before I jump in ham fisted with a handfull of spanners and a hammer, can I ask if anyone has removed their near side 3rd row jump seat from a Series 2 Discovery at all? I belive all the air stuff is behind the plastic so the seat in mine sticks into the cargo bay too much for...
