discool's latest activity

Many thanks for your reply, spent a couple of hours outside, learning the system. the micro switch and cam seem fine, not loose at all so traced the wiring to the central locking module. It appears that the CL module is therefore his immobiliser...

Ok you have an understanding on what is involved.👍 You may know that 1994MY was disco a change over year when the 300series was introduced with the updated ‘passive’ immobiliser so a change from the previous active system. 1994 200series had a...

Ok, so deactivating as you are suggesting, the door micro-switch is at the rear of the door lock, check that the re-mobilising function is either with the switch ‘open or closed’ and make that one permanent. With any luck, u may find its as...

STC4378G G = genuine part, the pump can seen behind the radiator when the cowling is unclipped from the top of the rad.

3.5 or 3.9, serpentine belt, or not ? Also a photo of the existing item will be helpful .

Sold to someone thought it was a bargain

The link below may be of interest to you although the are more available, as I expect you have the 4.0 or 4.6 engine fitted to your disco, and if so then I believe that the security system is coded specifically to the vehicle, which will add a...

1. The flame trap is or was a service item and replaced when I had my RR by the main dealer service dept. Fo the ten years I owned it. When I started doing my own service on my disco I fitted a new replacement and with the old one cleaned in...

Hi, the resistor is fitted on a heat sink/bracket which is mounted on the rear engine bay bulk head, or was when the vehicle left the factory, there is only one double pin plug, so just remove from its socket and tape it up and leave it at the...

Around the time the 3.9 was in the showrooms then, also the exposed front door hinges disappeared at the same time, plus a new dash, just some of the things I saw when having a ‘nosey’ when my RR fitted with a smooth spoiler was in for its service.

Depending on how you rate originality the 6 vent slot spoiler was introduced in Oct. '89 & this is the only version that I assume is still available new. An '89 prior to that month should have the earlier 4 slot version, which in turn superseded...

Thanks Norseman, Discool and Ratae for your input. You are of course correct, my error calling them fog lights! I have just spent a while understanding that they only come on with the main beam.:rolleyes: Interesting top tip on the rear fogs...

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...
