No such thing as transponder when it comes to D2 remote fob, it has a "chip"(called "transponder" by those who dont know much about it, shown with red arrow in the pic) which communicates with the passive remobilisation exciter coil which is...

Check the headlamp bulb earth connection on the body (black wire) and/or replacing both headlamp bulbs with brand new ones. And leave the resistor disconnected of remove the relay as you don’t need the dim-dip feature. Also the relay...

I replaced mine a few years ago but can't remember the thread details, sorry. What amused me is that the makers handbook states that the spoiler can be removed to protect it from possible damage when driving off-road .. that may be the case when...

Is this any help 🤔 numbers may have been superseded by now.

Full blown twin, batt setup on the car, and until the belt pinged off, the batts were both seeing 14.1V. 12.7V with the engine off. Here she is… More info here...

Needed here in Kenya, Discool. Honest. No, really!

With fuel pressure the TA is 1996 model year and VA is 1997 model the engine is the same as the 1995 MA Vin so any component change or addition is simple a design change. The last D1 model year was 1998 had a few design changes to the vehicle...

Ho dear it looks like you have been looking at the D1 options catalogue again 👍

Ok, the fuel pressure regulator ETC8494 is fitted to vehicles with a TA Vin and ETC6185 is fitted to later vehicles with a VA Vin. Throttle spring ERC3792L is correct… but now obsolete☹️...

It seems that you have giving the engine it a good shake down, with the ten parts u replaced also Champion plugs are ok. I can’t say I ever seen the engine check engine light in my 3.9 illuminated, so it thats so then that may be a clue to a...

The D1 left the factory with four different engines, two diesel and two petrol, which do you have?😊

An auto box should not be able to stall an engine. If the engine stalls when the power steering is in use the it’s an engine issue, or idle setting. IMO. J

A Discovery Sport automatic gearbox overheating, so it looks like your focusing on an iffy temp sensor, is that a guess or a certainty? as it also could include leaks in the lines or a malfunctioning cooling fan; all of which prevent the...

Another part number comes up ERC3606 so depends on the original item 🤔

I think it's fixed. It's hard to tell from the pictures (or looking at it in person) but the sprocket on the output shaft is a little warped. Either from running it with a bad bearing for months (I knew that was probably not a good idea...) or...

Are you unable to select a gear/s without the engine running? If yes then try starting engine in gear, brakes on of course, Ive had to do that with a summer car I have in the garage as the clutch plate have been known to be stuck over the...

In my 37 years with two auto LRs which have only used Dexron mineral spec auto fluid which is semi synthetic without any issues… so what have I been missing ?

It’s the specification that's important not the Brand, as the fluid you have is the Dexron lll spec then thats okay. Your owners handbook will have more info.

I have a D1 and am teaching myself to weld as it wouldn’t be worth doing it if I paid someone else. When I first started this journey I had a shed , now I have a workshop….. you get the idea. Regarding your starting issue, check the fuel sender...

Also a local earths connection point can be found under the dash behind the driver and passenger foot well kick panels.

The Discovery 150 was limited edition in 1996, not from the factory but a group of UK dealers and based on some similarities to the XS, such as XS wheels that are fitted Central locking with key or fob, it’s ok to lock, but you need the fob to...

There did seem to be a bit of difference between torque settings between Defender, D1 and D2 in various places, even though it's the same box, one of the reasons I thought I best ask in case I was missing something obvious or my "ebay certified"...

Job done. The lamp has very short leads so these needed extending about 6". I had a bit of 2 core in my 'I'll keep that, might be useful one day' box so that was soldered and heat shrink wrapped and poked through the rubber socket franger, bit...

Check the with the supply connection unplugged check continuity or resistance of the element, they have been known following a slight damage to burn out in that area can be seen as a small burn mark/s somewhere along the track. I’d have thought...

It is a shame, I don’t know of another LR seller in North Kent, but it’s been a ‘sign of the times’ for many years which is still is, that is ordering parts on line. In Kent’s Medway City Estate there was a LR parts seller, that seemed to have...

There’s not many places you can get a genuine parts of the shelf, and which may be obsolete, and then delivery in a couple of days, Rimmer’s did it with my few orders taken over the years.

That will work. 😊 I changed my disco reverse bulbs a couple of year ago for fun, the only thing that changed was the colour, a white light with a faint blue tinge, the light was a bit brighter but without any extra range of illumination which I...

I’m So 18 watts / 12 volts = 1.5 amps. And if you still the standard 2x21watt bulbs = 3.5 amps, so the vehicles wiring will be capable of handling the extra current load.

It may look nice when new and maybe see it behind the rad grill. I believe that Allisport products can exceed the specifications of the factory issue item when used in a performance and competition setting in which a quick additional cooling is...
