discool's latest activity

So what is the pipe used for… is it an oil feed? Its it not shown as a part of the 200Tdi injection pump in LRs parts book, but maybe in the associated hoses section.

Thanks for the link, paid my £5 and downloaded on three devices without any issues. It gives a good insight in to how advanced JLRs new vehicles are now.

There’s 4 variations of D1 tail lights in the life of the 300 series 1995 to1998. So based on 96/97 MY for UK & the rest of the world the part numbers are PRC6475 RH and PRC6476 LH As always to get the correct part the VIN No is required.

So are your tail lights different from the UK spec item, as there a few here new and used on the eBay sites and shipping to the states as most other places from the UK isn’t difficult, I’ve done it a few times sending stuff abroad of course there...

Rear fog lamps are the bottom segment of the body mounted units, tail lighting along with indicators are above, a standard as it left the factory. Rear bumper is just indicators and tail lights in both units, again as it left the factory. So...

I would be upset if water was getting into the gearbox and would quickly find out how, as that would mean oil would be leaking out ☹️

Metal cable ties .. will do the job 😊

Can you fix any thing to zip tie /metal strap these under the bonnet.

Now days you can have locking wheel nuts, for me that since 1976.😀

So what is it an alarm/immobiliser issue or super locking issue, if the latter then you in trouble as non of the doors can be opened from outside or inside without using a functioning remote.

I’ve only done one factory tour, although not recently and that was at Ford’s factory at Dagenham, so, starting with an Intro presentation then on to the engine building line, then on to the spray shop and then to the assembly line. 55 minutes...

My 3.5 RR had a similar sound at 100K miles which was instantly diagnosed as a worn camshaft by the LR dealer which was replaced by them. Maybe it would be worthwhile if it is a cam issue to replace both, which I believe you engine has two.

Thanks for replying discool, that's probably the one as the pulley is a bolt. Thankyou so very much. It's just the squeaky sound is possible from there and I have grey grease coming out. Thankyou for helping.

Your D3 must be different ☹️ if set, the cruise control will disengage if the brake or clutch pedal is pressed.

I don’t know ☹️ but if thats that what LR call auxiliary drive belt tensioner securing nut, then its 45Nm.

8 The Thatcham security grade of the existing security system will tell you if the vehicle was fitted with an immobiliser system when it left the factory (Google Thatcham) And It will depend on the the immobiliser is active or passive, if...

Thats very kind of you to let us know - thank you :) This is a good forum, nice bunch :)

Don’t hold you breath for a reply, Tim hasn’t been seen on the forum for Jan 31 2023, its always worth checking with old threads to see if a person is still about.

Certainly a few clues of an HG failure being mentioned 🤔

Its definitely not a vent it cap, so has been modified, looks like its a 20mm hole so per have they intended fitting a sensor. The vent to stop a vacuum will be either a 5mm hole on the side or the cap is manufactured to include a vent...

I assume the tailgate was functioning 100% before. So whoever did the work in replacing the tailgate would have left some pencil marks to aid realignment when fitting the replacement, something similar to bonnet and side doors removal and...

Have you read the Handbook ?

As already mentioned you will find the info in the owners handbook. Whit most modern cars theres two handbook, basic and the full on version which u have to download from LR via their app. Then look for the chapter ‘driving modes. Not a disco I...

I should have mentioned - it is a discovery sport. I didn't see a separate forum...

SOLD. Sold it after 26.5 years of ownership, it was just a replacement for my rusty 10 year old car RR, I didn’t need the disco after the first 2 year, the job I had for it landscape my new garden was now finished, but kept the disco as it as it...

Not normal D2 V8 UK spec engine then. Here in the U K we have a D2 with a Thor 3947 engine, which is so call by Land Rover a 4.0 litre D2, a different engine to D1 but the same CC as a D1 V8, which is called a 3.9. So where in the World are you?

I’m If you have grease in the steering swivels the you will have Teflon coated swivel balls, if the balls are chrome then they will have fill and drain plugs plus early swivels also had a level plug as fitted to my old RR 1987 so the oil could...

Now corrected😊

I think you mean "do NOT" but yes that sounds sound!

My quick search gives me a LR part number as STC778 Kit headlamp cover so possibly nothing to do with adjustment, anyway unfortunately they are obsolete.
