so in my discovery td5 i sometimes get an engine light with some misfiring. it happens every few days and till now it has always resolved itself just by switching it off and on. ECU errors: Crank speed logged high The only other thing that i noticed is that it is smoking a little bit more...

I would like to fit airbag helpers inside the springs of my D2. Originally converted my D2 to springs because of the idiotic location of the ride height sensors which i constantly destroyed while offroading. also the springs allow for better articulation as they have the ability to dislocate...

hi all, so a bit of an issue with my ac not cooling. things i hecked/replaced: 1. new ac compressor as it was leaking, replaced with genuine. also replaced drier. 2. new condensor 3. uprated spal fan 4. no serious leaks, topped with gas, low pressure and high pressure seam fine. 5. no error...

so i retrofitted the cruise control on my 03 disco. all looked fine and i can see on nanocom that the switch works. however the Set + button doesnt seem to be doing anything? what am i misisng? how can i check if the switch is maybe faulty?

the clip of the fuel pipe coming from the rear to the fuel pressure regulator is coming loose and not clipping properly. I have temporarily used a tie clip to make it home but i would like to replace the hose or at least the clip. anyone knows the size that i should look for? also any tips to...

i have a fuel pressure gauge which all of a sudden is showing 10bar pressure (used to be around 4.5Bar at idle). I suspect (and hope) it is a fault pressure sensor and i will be replacing that first but curious to know what other problems my cause something like this? engine feels fine

Some of the body mounts look a bit tired, is it possible to replace without the big jack? Any inspirational pics?

Im currently on an overlanding trip and checking the fault codes i saw injector open circuit errors for all injectors as well as another open circuit error related to air temperature. I dont have any obvious issues and only checked cause i had random three amigos come up (no error logged for...

hi guys, not strictly a Discovery question - trying to fit an ashcroft locker to my rear diff. trying to set the backlash,but the crown wheel gets jammed (actually more like there is a lot of preload!) as soon as i torque the end cap bolts. i suspect maybe im not fitting the bearing race...

Anyone knows which wire i need to tap in to light the air suspension amber light please? As i dont have air suspension, I want to light it when i turn on the rear locker so i have some indication that its on

A new problem, after driving for a little while clutch feels "spongy", and its less smooth to disengage. Noticed especially when i tried to pull off up a hill and i couldn't without a fair bit of throttle. This seems to get progressively worse as the car warms up. Gears seem to be going in ok...

thinking about rebuilding my rear diff and use the 3.5 Heavy duty crown wheel and pinion from Ashcroft. My question is will it work ok with my from 3.54 standard front diff? eventually i will also rebuild the front one but as it will cost around 1000eur each (including a locker) i was hoping to...

I currently have another strange issue which i managed to narrow down to something related to the ace. I have what sounds like a friction noise. It comes up when the car starts to warm up a little when cornering and when it is fully warm it is a constant sound. It sounds like a backplate...

I had to replace the Ace pump but i cannot get it primed. I filled the reservoir with fluid left the pressure hose off and tried cranking with the injectors disconnected and nothing. I even started the engine but nothing is coming out. Is there something im missing?

noticed a while back that the AC fan is not coming on when I switch on the ac. as far as i know the fan should come on whenever the AC is on, regardless of the temperature (i usually set it to 16 or LO)? I think it may be an issue with the engine bay fusebox as when i connected the earth from...

so in a previous post (here) i discussed where best to fit a fuel pressure sensor to a td5. now after i have it running i m noticed the pressure is way below the ideal 4bar. I have replaced the pressure sender (both quality SAAS senders connected with a T to the temperature temp port) and also...

In need of new shock bushes! Had replaced a few months ago for all makes but started cracking after a couple of months so not fitting those again. Genuine ones are out of stock or cost as much as new shocks (with the bushes included!) . Is there any sensible bushes options that would last more...

so was looking into replacing the crankshaft pulley as it started squeaking a bit and found this video: Instead of making up a tool to hold the crankshaft while undoing and tightening the pulley, this bloke just locked the flywheel. Is this safe or do i run the risk of damaging something...

i have noticed that the brakes on my d2 squeak really loudly, almost like they are grinding. they only do it when warm. Things I tried: 1. i tried to fit some new quality EBC brake pads fitted. I have had the same before and never had squeaking until recently. 2. the pistons do not feel...

i would like to fit a pressure gauge somewhere in the fuel system for diagnostic purposes, try to identify a failing pump or regulator before it gets too bad. If I understand correctly,in the diagram below i should have best results if i fit it along the green pipe between the pump and the...
