He has more to do with your bog standard cars i think, I'm earning slowly.. I'm not mechanicaly minded, hardly any of my family know how to maintain vehicles (so I've never been shown how to do anything with vehicles, especialy 4x4's). I prefer going to smaller workshops as I can see them...

Done a few things recently, one was getting my local mechanic to change the diff oils, transfer box oil, and gear box oil although this didn't go quite to plan so getting that sorted on Monday :( Moved the CB noise filter to the back of the engine (near enough), as the CB is picking up engine...

Thanks guys, I spoke to him today and he has minimal experience with working with auto boxes, he's more used to manuals, I mentioned what you have said and he looked it up on his computer system and was surprised to learn you guys are 100% correct, although he wants to jack the vehicle up whilst...

Thanks for the advice 'discool', I have decided not to fiddle with it, as I tend to brake things by mistake when I do :doh::p The mechanic didn't fancy ripping the whole sunroof out as he suggested that if the water is only coming in via the drainage channel tubes then the seal between sunroof...

Thanks for the information, I shall take what ahs been said onboard, hope its the latter and not a major issue!.. I took it back to the mechanic and he re-checked the transfer box and gear box oil level, he topped them up (didnt need a lot), but said the noise was coming from the front of the...

Hi all, Just a quick question.. I'm a bit concerned about my auto gear box on my 2004 Landrover discovery II, I had a local mechanic drain and replace the gear box oil and filter, I mentioned about the proceedure for moving the gear selector while at idle but he said it was not nessesary...

I can't comment on the vehcile as I have very little mechanical knowledge but I recently purcashed a DiscoII only to find out the ACE had failed adn the previous owner had somehow manage to bodge the system, I was adviced to remove the entire system as my local Landrover specialist pointed out...

Thanks for the link, I have decided to go the whole hog and try and nip this problem in the back side! I have ordered a repalcement seal and some araldite, I have also been to town yesterday and got some tiger seal, I been slowly stripping the Landy so hopefuly later today i'm popping down to...

Well.. I gave it a go, yes you were correct the motor was out of sync :o so I made sure it was in the correct position and reattached but to no avail, the motor still struggles! :( I tried the motor at a few different positions but it doesn't have the power to lift the sunroof without my help...

Thanks for the info, sounds like i'm having the same issue you had.. I got my feelers out for a second hand motor, few breakers have replied, I shall bare the USA scrappers in mind! if I fail to sort anything tidy out - thats if it does need replacing.. should know by tomorrow.. hopefuly it wont...

Thanks for the info 'discool', I thought that was the manual way of opening it, but when I tried it, nothing seemed to happen, so i didn't continue incase I broke something..which is usualy the case with me :( lol I shall investigate in the morning and report back with my findings, hopefuly it...

Thinking about it, you maybe on to something here.. I wonder whilst I been tinckering if the motor is in the half way position (tilted but not fully open) perhaps.. I shall investigate that in the morning when I get back from work! Thanks. As for manualy opening it, how does one go about this...

Thanks for clearing that up, atleat I know I can get one, not limited to a specific motor :) .. I tested by connecting the motor to the original harness, (not connected to the sunroof mechanism) and it works perfectly, however I'm not quite sure how to sync the motor, where do the dots have to...

Hi all, I posted up the other day on someone elses thread that I was having issues with a leaking sunroof..surprise, suprise! :( Since it was a nice day yesterday I went round all the door seals with vaseline, really gave them a good rub with the stuff, did the rear sunroof, gave that a good...

I know this thread is a bit outdated but I'm guessing it worked since there was no follow up to this. I too am having the same problem, the driver's seat got somewhat flooded this evening when I pulled off and dabbed the brakes, water came shooting down the passenger side door pillar across the...

Gutted for you.. expensive things to replace as well :( .. I'd really like to catch these theaving ---! I'm curious as to exactly how they got the lamps out, surely they cant be much use to someone if they've had to snap the brackets to get them out :confused: Lamp gaurds may deter them, or...

Slight update.. I re-checked the SWR today and the reading was showing 1.7 throughout most channels. I checked the continuety of the cabeling, connectors, and patch lead all seems fine, inspected the aerial cabel at the rear door and it doesnt look pinched or bent so have ruled them out. I...

Only if you forget to turn the heated seats off ;) Honestly I couldn't tell you, my place of work is only 8 miles away and I don't travel great distances, if I do I don't often have the need for the seat cover. - Time will tell.. if it does, I shall report back and tell you all about my sweaty...

I got one on my Disco, the seller chucked it in for free, he found to to be extremely useful when he was transporting the dog about. I also find it to be very handy, can chuck things in without worrying about scuffing plastics, backs of the seat, keeps the floor dry and clean if you spill...

I decided to mount the aerial on a mag mount, after realising the Sirio gutter mount I bought would not fit on the discovery 2 gutter due to the plastic weather strip - I was not for cutting the plastic so I decided to leave it and use my old mag mount as advices by Gwyn Lewis (4x4 specialist)...
