    Disco 2 immobiliser/central locking issues

    my earth point was actually clean which surprised me. ive made up a lead for the earth wire and mounted the receiver inside the cabin, in the netting storage that is above the rear seats - should keep it out the moisture

    Disco 2 immobiliser/central locking issues

    I was shocked at how bad it gets above the headliner! Easiest way is to pull out the interior light for the rear seats, then you can either reach in and undo the 6 nuts that hold the entire plastic piece into the headliner, or be an animal like me and just pry it off pulling the nuts through...

    Disco 2 immobiliser/central locking issues

    Mines a no sunroof either, it condensates like hell on the inside of the roof and saturates it Yes you’re probably right about my unlocking sequence though. Going to put the receiver unit back in today and hope it unlocks

    Disco 2 immobiliser/central locking issues

    ive got a disco 2 that spends its time sitting at the moment waiting for a chassis so i turned the engine off, left key in ignition, disconnected battery, let it all die, then removed key and locked door manually. this has always worked as i always understood it wasnt immobilising this way...

    wheel bearing questions

    Cut a slot out the old race then tapped it in no bother 👍 New discs are about twice as thick as what we’re about 20 year old discs with about 80k on them - pistons got moved back in so far I didn’t even need to top the fluid up when I replaced the solid brake line between flexi and caliper 🙂

    wheel bearing questions

    Doing the front wheel bearings and brakes on my 96 def 90, however when I took the offside apart I took the first nut, then lock washer, then second nut and then there was no thick washer? There was very minimal play and it wasn’t noisy but just wondering if anyone knew how this could have...

    cb radio handset sets off wipers

    I’ve ordered some foil tape and am going to wrap the relay, hopefully that solves it. Mic is a sealed unit so no way of knowing if it’s dodgy until I can try and chat to someone make sure it works. I’m fairly confident it’s the mic as like I said if I take the mic out of line of sight of the...

    cb radio handset sets off wipers

    just wired in a thunderpole t-600, mounted on the slant under the dash above the fuse box (bad idea now) and below the radio. when i transmit it sets off the wipers, i wrapped tinfoil around the coax cable and that didnt change anything. wrapped the fuse box cover in tinfoil and that stopped...

    Defender 90 300tdi difflock not doing anything

    Crawled underneath just now and established the linkage is there, I can push the selector by hand, and I hear an audible click and the light comes on so I had someone move the lever whilst watching the linkage and the bushes that it pivots on have so much play that it just moves the whole...

    300TDI Gearbox or Transferbox

    i personally would make sure you've got breakdown cover and just keep driving the thing until whatever is whining quits whining and gives up, pretty easy to identify what it is then. then get an exchange unit from ashcroft
