Just noticed Page 26-1-4 of RAVE shows the coolant pathway through the heater matrix - interestingly the diagram shows the heater matrix inlet hose clearly positioned below the heater matrix outlet hose - both going in through the bulkhead/firewall. When I looked at my engine it looked like...

Interesting you had to use an engine lift? It's an aluminium head, does anyone know the weight - I just assumed less than 30kg?

So, you're saying it could be the big in-line thermostat down near the bottom of the radiator that may not be fully opening perhaps? Must admit - didn't see anything really in RAVE about the heater / heater core; the blended air ratio heating makes sense - so warm coolant should be going...

Thanks for all that info. Assuming "three holes" is the thickest of the three gaskets? I was told (based on VIN) that the dowels would definitely be steel? Heater, not sure there, Rislone told me to backflush with air or water - they said blockage sometimes happens depending on the design of...

Heater was working perfectly just a minute before the Rislone was added with the fan on high; 4-5 minutes after the Rislone liquid was added to the expansion tank (which was already 1/2 full), the air coming out of the heater went cool. I can't understand how air/exhaust gas could be trapped in...

Thanks for that - will have to have a closer inspection regards these holes - so assuming if I take the acoustic cover off I should be able to find some protruding gasket somewhere? I have RAVE - have used it before - will use that then as a guide! Might be okay with tools then, I do have a...

2003 Discovery 2 Td5 (face-lift model with 16P engine) Engine number: 16P11184A Noticed around nine months ago that there was a small amount of coolant leaking under the top coolant hose area on the front passenger side of the engine (RHD): The top hose was also a bit hard, and I suspected...

You can get a new rectifier (diode pack), regulator and brushbox easily; worn-out copper slip rings on the shaft are harder to replace (I have seen one tutorial explaining the process) - the slip rings wear out if you get grit and oil between the carbon brushes and the slip rings - acts like...

Okay - thanks for that - will have a close look at this!

Previous Bosch blades were perfect, only happened when I put the new Lucas blades on - will move them a bit and see if they conform better with a bit of time! The wiper arms are in excellent nick no damage and springs perfect - I checked when I had the windscreen plenum out for repair and...

They're well held in place - eight (8) clamping metal tab pairs along the length of each blade - need to prise open with pick/needle nose pliers to remove the metal rail rubber wiper blade and reverse the process once the new refill is in place (metal rail Tridon MRN24-2). I'm sure there are...

Okay, next time around that's what I'm doing then, settled - will be buying just refills from Tridon and cutting to 21" (530mm) in length (Tridon metal rail MRN24-2); hate throwing away a perfectly good wiper blade assembly just because the rubber is a bit worn! I'm a greenie too - abhor...

Yes 6.5mm wide at the top (steel rail inside the rubber at the top where it is clamped along its length with eight clamps).

Eight clamps along the length of each of the wipers (two shown below):

I checked with Tridon and they said they have a wiper blade refill (metal rail or plastic-backed option) that will fit the D2a slide attachment wiper arm: Tridon refill MRN24-2 (metal rail) - these refills are 24” (610mm) long, so 3" will need to be trimmed off each so that they will fit the...

Professional!;):D

:p

That's interesting! This was released in the USA then? Just checked the VIN - it says up to ...3A795728; my VIN is ...3A797282 - so after this one. I'm assuming then my seals will already have the insert??? I'm thinking then it's the plastic A-pillar and/or the guttering that are moving a...

Preferably you need to be about 6' 3" with the arms of a gibbon, two elbows on each arm, and hands the size of a pixie! Not the easiest thing to access, and the bottom bolt is challenging; watch the little o-ring that sits in the block - falls out! I followed this...

Received a reply below from the LR parts supplier - so will give it a go and see if they (passenger side wiper) conforms to the windscreen a bit better. "...thanks for the email, its common for wipers to be a little rigid as new but…….. Put the wiper in the up position and gently flex them...
