JLR site says mine is too old, directs me to TOPIx which has only the barest of info (and lists it as a 2002 when it has a 51 number plate and was purchased in Sept 01). Maybe that just means the dealer fitted the bits, not the factory. Surely that still counts as original spec for insurance...

It's probably impossible, I know; but is there anywhere that information exists? Would LR themselves still hold it this far down the line? I think that a few of the mods on my car were probably actually factory fitted, and so I shouldn't have to list them on my insurance. But I presume the onus...

I got carried away leak tracing and sealing with Captain Tolley and Tiger Seal, decided to rip out the upper windscreen over seal. This might not have been too bad, but then I had a bonkage mishap when fitting the new one. The good news is that the sealing work seems to have been a success...

Good to know, thanks. I was worried those ones looked a bit small for the currents involved.

I didn't expect this to be a difficult thing to find, and yet no matter where I look and what I search, all that seems to come up are flimsy looking options, mostly from AliExpress and Temu. I've had a few occasions recently where out of the blue I just have no power; could be unable to even...

A few tweaks and highlights I've been doing around the old girl

Never mind, it was fuse 13. Either I hadn't checked well enough (probably) or it went while I've been trying to fix. Oh well, the IDM was corroded, so it's good that I caught that at least.

Well I hope you're right. The data link is fine, as are the two obvious black ground cables to BCU and IDM; are there any others? I'm trying to work out which are the power feeds and how to test those. Symptoms are six bongs on ignition II, crossed B in display, no crank. Also no central...

There's no way for me to actually check if the BCU and IDM are actually OK, though, is there? I'm worried that plugging the BCU back in with a bad IDM (assuming that was the issue) might have fried it all over again.

Tried but its too dark now. Ugh.

No dice, still exactly the same problem. Six dings and crossed B in the display. I really don't understand what could be the problem now, & I'm getting a bit desperate for a solution 😬

It's the exact same part number, I can even see it stamped on the side in the ebay listing pictures, and the seller claims tested so fingers crossed.

Oh noooo! I've got my own crossed B, and I'm panicking a bit as I need the car on Monday! I know what kicked it off - I was a moron and wasn't careful enough drilling in my wheel well; caught a couple of wires from the loom right under the main fusebox (red/orange, yellow/grey, and ground). Car...

Anyone know what the right fixings are for the wheel arch liners om the D2? A bunch of stuff on mine is very much in a "whatever works" state, and I'd like to do things properly, or at least make a proper decision on stuff as I'm fixing up. At present the outer row has oversized screws and...

Investigations continue. I've replaced the rubber door strap seals with some neoprene that I cut to fit, and also had the whole lower windscreen cowl off, cleaned things up, and reassembled. I suspect the rubbers at each end were badly positioned, plus one of the screws and the debris filter...
