    Radio removal tool

    Hi, Just after someone to point me in the right direction, I wish to remove the radio to drill two small pilot holes for my CB setup ontop of the dash however none of the flat radio removal tools I have seem to fit the whole. I have done a search and found this pic on another thread, but a...

    ACE reservoir Empty

    1. Does the ACE light work on self test? I cant see a ACE light when the vehicle first does its checks. (I had to edit the left side of the pic as it chopped it off, thats why it looks a bit odd).. Not seeing this icon is a bad sign is it not? 2. Are u sure it's not converted on anti roll...

    ACE reservoir Empty

    Well i've got the disco on the road, let it have a good run and its running great :) However (first time i've noticed it) the 'ace reservoir' looks to be empty. No warning lights have appeared, is it safe to continue driving it as it is / what fluid does it take? :confused: cheers

    CB radio setup

    Ive had a look and the grommet thats used to route the wires through the bulkhead to the fuse box is pretty full up, cant feel theres any room to spare, however there is a grommet next to that but on the engine side of the bulkhead it cant be seen due to the breaking system components and the...

    Discovery 2 + interior light issue

    :doh::doh::doh::doh: Thankyou all for the info.. wish I had spotted the connection problem prior to ordering a new light, I removed the connection from the connection housing and soldered and heat shrunk the connection onto the wiring loom wire, a chap at work recommended a 4x4 breaker...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Dull question maybe but it has crossed my mind.. the ECU is located next to the jack/battery correct? - I have been advised to check the wiring loom for traces of oil in the connector as it can short things out.. (still have to check this when I find out where it's located).. but when wading...

    Discovery 2 + interior light issue

    Just a quick update.. My local Land Rover parts dept was unable to find the part, the parts book had no mention of the connector all they could advise was for me to ask around and try a local electronics repair company, needless to say I'm not overly happy with the outcome, I was expecting them...

    Discovery 2 + interior light issue

    Thanks for the info, I'm popoping into my local landrover specialist later today to collect a battery cover (only £12 new so cant complain) and some body clips. (I must admit the previous owner didn't really appreciate the vehicle and look after it 100%, only minor things.. (Starter motor I...

    CB radio setup

    ahh :).. now I have seen that been done once before, but they had cut the map pocket out to fit the CB, how did you get that CB to fit, every CB I have seen on thunderpole/ 4x4cb.com has been too tall to fit :confused: .. that is a nice setup you have there.. out the way and all cables hidden...

    Discovery 2 + interior light issue

    Just typical.. I picked the light up earlier today, got it home, removed the old light unit, went to unplug it and the little metal connector on the black wire inside the plug snapped (all i did was pull the connector off of the lamp, must have been weak to begin with) :( anyone know what...

    CB radio setup

    Looks a nice clean setup, a lot smaller CB than I have, might have to consider changing it perhaps.. food for though.. Do you get any interference by connecting it to the cigarette lighter wires, when I first had mine I had it ona cigaret plug and would pick up noise from the wiper motor, I...

    CB radio setup

    ahh yes, this has crossed my mind, I knew in my shogun it was reasonably safe tucked away in a din mount behind the front dashboard facia, just underneath the heater controls (where a small dash pocket it located).. to get to it you would have to remove the gear stick knobs, the whole surround...

    Discovery 2 + interior light issue

    Thanks 'sierrafery', all info is much appreciated, I'm learning slowly, I managed to put the starter back on, and the top bolt was tricky but I got it on within a few minutes, much to my surprise! All cables reconnected and the vehicle now starts first time, every time without any clicking! to...

    Discovery 2 + interior light issue

    Just a quick update, shall post back later to update.. Regarding the interior light, I bit the bullet and ordered a new one from Landrover, as the part numbers were confusing I couldn't be sure a second hand one was the correct part I went through my local landrover specialist (hopefully they...

    Battery

    Don't want to thread jack, or butt in with stupid advice, but I have noticed a lot of places selling "Optima 35 Red Top Batteries", I know nothing about them, but I'm guessing they are decent batteries? I know they are very expensive, but are they any better than standard batteries, - worth the...

    Discovery 2 + interior light issue

    Thanks for the advice, I'm not overly clued up on electrics so i shall try and recruit the electrician at work to take 5 mins out to have a peak, hoping its a simple fix.. I shall pass on the info and come back to update shortly. As for the "clicking", I'm glad the problem has been pin pointed...

    Discovery 2 + interior light issue

    cheers Drew9991, wish I had read this post sooner :doh: I removed the whole map pockets/sat nav console to get access to the light, as the Haynes manual was useless in pointing me in the right direction. I did notice that the contacts where slightly corroded (hardly anything), so I scraped away...
