    Discovery - How to repair a leaking sunroof guide

    I managed to get one of the sunroofs done today before it started raining again even though the forecast was dry all day :rolleyes: Got everything out and blowing down the drain pipes showed they were clear but it sounded like they stop somewhere about half way down the A pillar? What was...

    Radio aerial for a 110

    If your engine doesn't put out a lot of radio interference then a full size one on the wing is good enough. If there's any any ignition/injector interference you want to get the aerial as far away as possible so a 'stinger' on the roof is the best bet, also gives it more height and means less...

    Water leaking.

    I'll alert LZ members in Kent to catch it on the way back down :D

    Water leaking.

    You mean the foam pads under the bars? There's two versions depending on your chassis number, mine is fitted with these, CAJ000020, CAJ000030, CAJ000040 and CAJ000050. If it ever stops raining for long enough to work on mine on a day off I've got some blanking caps to fit instead of re attaching...

    facelift discovery 2 radio iso help

    Well I've got a JVC in my facelift D2 and that's connected via a wiring adaptor so yes, something is available. Also you might want to get FHY100290LNF which is the trim bar that fills the gap left when you remove the factory head unit.

    D2 Facelift Headlights stolen too.

    When you say 'they' I notice all five of your posts reference this kit, are you connected to them at all, if so how much is the kit? I did look on the wix website but neither the contact us or the online store buttons work.

    disco 2 key fob not working

    433 is such a bad choice of frequency for these things, the other problem is the regen receiver design, it's as wide as barn door so any transmission anywhere near 433.92 will block fobs. All sorts of transmissions can block them from domestic weather stations to amateur radio repeaters, 2w on...

    New Member, TD5 Disco owner

    Looks good! What did you use to seal off the removed roof bars? I've got some caps for mine that if it ever stops raining for more than 10 minutes and is above freezing I'm going to try with some sealant. I took them off as I'm doing the leaky sunroofs but think it looks a lot better without them.

    EGR question and engine type.

    Not exactly cold but only warm after getting back home, wasn't entirely sure if it would help or not with them being hot as I couldn't decide if they'd be easier to budge or harder? I'll order a 7/32 hex bit and see what happens, not enough room to be hammering anything in. If I can get the top...

    EGR question and engine type.

    An update on this, been squirting both manifold bolts with penetrant for nearly a week in between the rain. Got a new M5 hex drive bit, gave each a good few taps before going in and guess what, both rounded! I guess having the car parked just a few hundred metres from the sea most days doesn't...

    TD5 Cam cover gasket oil leak

    And if it's not been done already it might be worth changing the injector harness at the same time the cover is off. There's a PITA bolt at the back of the rear acoustic cover, you can slacken it off and push the cover back a bit to give more clearance for refitting.

    Radio STILL driving me nuts!!!

    Is the interference as bad on FM as it is MW? The aerial on the inside isn't going to help so maybe try the original wing mounted one again but check for continuity on both centre aerial connector pin to aerial and the outer of the connector to a ground near the head unit. This will confirm the...

    Careful what you wish for, I have a bad habit of leaving the car keys in my pocket and regularly go out to the car in the morning to find it unlocked. :rolleyes:

    Locking Wheel Nuts

    Having been 'there' but only the once trying to get the covers off a non locking wheel nut what exactly DOES hold them on but allow them to be lose like that? Was it a joke on the part of LR design?

    CB Radio Repair

    Does it rx as normal? Stick another CB right next to it, can you hear it even if it's very weak, maybe the final has gone? Transmission1 is probably the best place to ask about rig repairers. The Team TS 6M has good reviews, is multi standard too so should be future proof for the forthcoming...

    EGR question and engine type.

    Thanks guys, that gives me a bit more confidence to try it at the weekend. Brian, it's the crack that worries me LOL Yes, have got the bungs in the kit as well as new bolts and gaskets.
