    Disco 2 Front Differential Replacement

    Got it out! Besides the oil looking a funny colour, I couldn't really see anything physically wrong with the diff...drive shaft ends don't look worn either... Has this all been for nothing?? (The garage said it was my diff that was causing the horrendous clunking/grinding noise) there was quite...

    Disco 2 Front Differential Replacement

    Started taking it apart over the weekend, gone fairly smoothly, (hopefully haven't just jinxed it!) however whilst it's all in pieces it makes sense to get some other jobs done, so, questions: Paint - I had previously stripped and painted a lot of the chassis with Hammerite, however it's...

    Disco 2 Front Differential Replacement

    Hi @jamesmartin, Sorry to sound like a complete idiot, when you say "oil resistant silicone sealant" can you recommend anything? There's so many types...would the Loctite SI 5990 be the right stuff? Just ordered some Loctite 248 (the stick stuff) to go on the bolts, hopefully got that right...

    Disco 2 Front Differential Replacement

    Hi jamesmartin, Thanks for that, really helpful! Yeah I got the garage to do the hubs, as they thought that's all the problem was - then they've now said it's the diff. Okay, good advice on the seals - what's the recommended oil for in the diffs? Cheers, Stephen

    Disco 2 Front Differential Replacement

    Hey all, Another question! My front differential is on the way out unfortunately, along with the half shafts too - this is after just having both front wheel hubs replaced, so been an expensive month or two... So, I'm going to source a second hand diff from the great bay, along with hopefully...

    Disco 2 Speaker Replacements!

    Hi sierrafery, Not seen that site before, seems pretty useful! Okay great, I think I was just thrown off by my measurements of the speakers not matching any standard sizes, but that could just be me not measuring them correctly haha! I'll have to have a hunt around for the upper door...

    Disco 2 Fed up of leaks!

    @brian47 Thanks for those links - just reading through the A Pillar one, that could be the cause...do you or anyone else have any better pictures though? I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, it's not the clearest in those documents! I'm assuming there is supposed to be a gap at some point...

    Disco 2 Fed up of leaks!

    Hey all, So I've been working on trying to get all the leaks fixed over the past year, sunroofs done etc. The windscreen was leaking, got cracked, and was replaced by AutoGlass. However it was still leaking, so I phoned them up, and complained - they came back out, and changed it again. But...

    Disco 2 Sunroof Motor

    Yeah I don't know what I was doing last weekend but checked it was all lined up again, and now it's working fine haha! Quite slow/noisy though, not sure if thats normal? The other thing is, the second motor I have for the rear, the micro switch on it is knackered - anyone know where I can...

    Disco 2 Sunroof Motor

    Thanks discool, I thought it might have been alignment - have you got a decent picture of what it should look like? The one I found wasn't very clear so I may have gotten it wrong... The thing is when it's not fitted it does spin for longer, without stopping... Was a bit frustrating, as with...

    Disco 2 Sunroof Motor

    Hey all, Have been trying to find answers online, but not really got anywhere so far. So I picked up a new sunroof motor, as part of my conversion from manual to electric. Plugged it all in, with the loom and the ECU. It works perfectly when not fitted, but once in it's a bit strange. The...

    Disco 2 Probably really stupid...

    Okay, sorry for the delayed response, work has been really busy and I'm trying to find a new flat too! This is a photo of all the connectors I have in the roof - still not sure if I just need something to go from one of these to the motor/switches, or if I'm missing the cables that run from...

    Disco 2 Probably really stupid...

    Hm okay...well I couldn't see any wiring! Nothing for the switches, and nothing for the motors either, like I said unless I'm being completely blind...

    Disco 2 Probably really stupid...

    Oh yeah I did buy switches too! Interesting, so how come I don't have the wiring already in place? Was I just misinformed that all models had the harnesses? Ah cheers, I'll give him a shout and fingers crossed can sort me out. Thanks!
