Was it easy to get to? My RR is currently in lowered suspension mode which makes getting under it a little more tricky.

Get the exact model from the label on the pump. Then call X8R or 4x4-Airseals, and they will tell you what refurb kit to use. Prices range from £20 to £60 depending on whether it a Wabco or hitachi pump.

Is their a way i can upload a video on here

Good morning, time to change bearing and knuckle. Hope everyone is ok. Other car is getting water pump fixed and have been buzzing about in a wee fiat 500. All good until I was rear ended (I'm fine just stiff). It's been a shizz four weeks or...

Will keep an eye on them.

I have been looking a new compressors on Ebay range between 120 and 250 but all of them don't say they will fit the td6 :/

Mine frequently over heated when chasing a wiring fault and re calibrating. But agreed it could also be weak.

It does take it a few cool downs to go from 0 bar to 13 bar

Had that go on mine and a slight wake up call from a small hammer got it going enough to get me to the local indi garage who fortunately had one in stock along with a spare ramp for me to chuck it on.

If your compressor is getting that hot trying to fill the tank & bags, it probably could do with a rebuild. Otherwise it will let you down & either fail or blow the fuse again.

Hey sorry for the late response… hmmm, I wonder??… will look into it; thanks!

Hey all, little update, I went to a LR garage today as I was passing and chatted to a technician. Really nice guy, he seemed to think the likelihood of it being ECU related was unlikely, he said in his experience it’s usually the fuel pump that’s...

I can fix just about anything on an old Landy but when it comes to computers, laptops. I phones, Smart TV's it's well you know.:D:D:D:D Keeps my grown up kids busy sorting my cockups.

I use either Nanocom, or a basic Bluetooth OBD reader to check temps after coolant system repairs. But generally only for the first few runs.

A friend of mine had a disco 3 and her experience put me off getting one. Aside from the ridiculous excise duty, it had two failed TDV6 engines. After the second failure, unsurprisingly it was sold. This is probably quite an extreme case but both...

Little squirrel climbed me fence that rattles smornin. Sat on the apex of me garage roof. Eye hears this and drops nuts out me bedroom window. He stayed and watched. Moved further down when eye closed said window. Normally he be oft like a rocket...

Did you let the angry pixies out of that one? ;)

I thought you were asking questions about the potential cost of owning a D3? Find some for sale, see if you like them, check them over and post the pics/reports on here and you’ll get some valuable feedback on the actual vehicles. If you don’t...

Some of the jobs I missed off new rear prop , poly bushed rear trailing arms couple wheel bearing, new diesel tank , new battery box , timing belt , new water pump & p gasket, upgraded clutch spring

I use my D1 as a daily most of the week…

I avoid Shell like the plague. I often wonder at Reading West, sat on the open Tesla chargers watching everyone use the Gridserve opposite 🤔. I think you’re right - it’s just not well known or highlighted on mapping.

Excuse any rough work. 7 years ago and cutting my teeth on my first attempt of a resto!

So a Multimeter across it will tell me if it is kaput?

So it is a hobby car then as you have a Subaru for normal duties. Suitable D2 on Def2.net for you at £2k. As for going to see some D3, how can you judge what a £3k vehicle looks like if you don't compare some? You either have the money or you...

@Varks74 Just a thought. Have you tried swapping the fibers over on the display in case they have accidentally been switched round?

Enjoy

I got hold of an Autel dongle last night so once the car is recovered, I can hopefully see for myself what the issue may be Will put the old RF back in, try get power for diagnostics, code the battery (if needed) and see where it takes me from...

-----and a feeling of dismay when yer finger bursts through it :eek:

Hi max, I can’t actually remember the exact details but when I look at it it will jog my memory. I’m pretty sure dippy is right and where you have your black circle there’s spot welds. In the corner itself, there’s an actual box structure made up...

Dropped straight in, cables had already been altered before hand
