Hi, which fuse exactly? No, at this point the first suspect is the fusebox or in the worst case the SLABS ECU unless it's a wiring issue somewhere and that coud be a nightmare.

GO FOR IT!!! :cool: I know that car... from 100 years ago 🤣 But there aren't many that I haven't seen - there was 36? in NZ when I had mine, I think. (It used ot have the plate "DECAF" I'm wracking by brain to think of the last owner though -...

What a price… first bush & there off.

Hi, I just thought I would introduce myself. I am Gordon from Christchurch, New Zealand, and nearly a year ago I bought a nice green Discovey 2 V8. The plan is to do a few minor fix ups as a bit of a hobby, and explore some of our nice back...

Monty Python?

Definitely a case of "looking worse before it looks better." The corner vertical frame member was not very solid, so I ended up removing everything. The inner vertical frame members and wood looks good. I'm having a new outer skin fabricated for...

Winnie is going under the knife to repair an older, slapdashed repair by the army guys. While in service either someone ran into the left-rear corner, or the driver backed up into something. They replaced the vertical corner box section, the...

I use the Carlube stuff but other firms do ATF-U (Millers and Triple QX to name two) so if you can get them and as long as the spec is the same I should imagine they would be okay, but others may advise.

Evening all, after picking your brains again... A couple of weeks ago my air compressor on my D2 for the rear bags kept running after the engine was off, this resulted in a knackered compressor. Today I have fitted a new one with new relay and...

That merc is absolutely lovely. One of those would be in my "modest" classics collection if I won the lottery

This thread has been quite the read. 270 posts in a matter of days and presumably it'll keep going. I'll be honest, I'd be fascinated to see the outcome...

Good to see some unrelated chit chat going on here, and no non-ignoring of the OPs thread

That would be great, thanks very much. Drop me a pm when you're ready.

Ended up loosening it for now and leaving it for the evening. Wasn't happy with the way it was sitting. I'm pretty sure the O rings are right, they're straight from the LR dealer, part number that was given previously in this thread. Might...

Get ur self a fluid vac save your self a lot of pain

update: the little pusher/insert slotted bit in the dizzy slot seems to make a really recognizable sound…
