The two purple-black wires (one for each horn button) connect with a third purple-black wire from the stereo control (which isn't fitted) further down the loom and end up on a single pin for the next connector. The white one also leads to the...

Follow the wires to the other end and see what they should attach to on the steering wheel. Edit: They are purple with a black trace.

Can you not just do it yourself with rattle cans? It cannot be very big.

Looks like something has been short circuited. Wonder what? Strikes me it can only be the controls for the stereo, the airbag, or the horn!

Hello everyone, A couple of weeks ago I decided to install cruise control on my '99 Disco 2. Didn't work after I installed it, so I went to a friend with a diagnostic tool to check a few things. Brake light switch, clutch switch and CC main...

I Noticed in the USA I can find the headlamp for 180 quid each. Shipping and import cost will no doubt bump it back up to what they cost here. This sounds promising, thank you ! I have sent over my email in a PM. Cheers.

Buy the plastic wheel.kit and fix it

Right, been at it today with the pressure testing. Warmed the engine up, then fitted the pressure tester. Went to about 14 psi. Waited about half an hour, and the pressure had dropped to about 11 psi: And after an hour, it was just shy of 8...

Looks like a non standard USB also. Neat job.

I ended up reffing it as the new (Britpart OEM) one didnt fit over the central spigot. Does anyone know what the central hole diameter should be ??

Oops corrected to 1984

One thing is that I didn't expect 2 "new" MAFs to be totally useless!

My thoughts exactly

Believe me there were a multitude of cuss words, some really, really naughty ones :) Funny thing is a local chap pulled in in a s3 Landy and asked if I wanted to sell it, hmm, the thought had been crossing my mind, trouble is it would be like...

Jeez, who bloody designs this crap🤯 Certainly those who don't work on them... But then, once it's out of guarantee..... who cares😵‍💫

Buy one of these ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145308310142

Unfortunately some parts ain't worth the cardboard box they turn up in 💁 Job well done lad👌😎👍

Well looks like it has worked pretty hard for over 40 years. But they are about the most basic motor vehicle that are still around in numbers today and can be repaired without the need to ask a computer what the problem is. A sticky brake may be...

........does it matter? (1989 Ninety)

Fitted the longer studs to the rear today. Hoped to do it without having to take the hub off but that didn't work, bet the hub seals start leaking now!

Hi guys, The new keeper slip that I received from the seller of the Disco I just bought a few days ago differs from the one that has arrived from the V5 through the post just now. Different doc ref for a start?

Just to update. I have again tried the 2 new MAFs with the same ending, chugging black smoke and backfiring. I have now fitted a good used one from James Coleman (SAGEM OEM) and tried it, it started but was really rough. I checked for any faults...

Not a bad idea :-)

Agree SA is an option. No they don’t let you claim back - don’t pay duty back into UK as returning ex pat but KRA in Kenya never give cash back :-)

Hi guys, Where do I find this, please?

Hello. Over the last couple of months I have posted about my woes of the EPB on our D4. Having got a helpful garage to remove the module I have found it didn't re latch due to knackered plastic gears in the EPB internal gearbox. I am wondering if...

...Here we are again, this again didn't fix the issue... Good news though! The pedal now feels different... Still not good, but before it used to go solid but be very spongy, now the pedal is very smooth does not feel spongy but it goes all the...

Tyically the reason 1st and 2nd feel stiff or clash is because there is still some drive going through the gearbox from the clutch and the laysheft is (consequently) not at rest. To test this you should remove a propshaft and with the car well...
