Yes. Just be sure that 900mm is enough ! I ended up going with a 1400 mm section & was glad I did when we cut off the rusty section which was remarkably dire even around the damper mountings which you'd imagine were a "high point" on the chassis & therefore not so prone to water staying inside...

I got a second hand spare top hose outlet & just drilled and tapped into the side of the flange to allow a sensor to be fitted. Same end result as the Gore item, but a lot cheaper

Next stop is losing all gears and leaving you stuck somewhere. Leave it a bit longer for the full experience 🤣

The smaller pistons improve the braking balance between front & rear & reduce brake pedal travel a minor amount.

You're not the first it's happened to :) I never found the missing circlip on mine & it's had a few oil changes since it fell in. Fortunately it's never caused any problems.

Firstly, is this about your Discovery 2 ? If not, what vehicle ? Secondly, the discs can't be scored by the caliper pistons - they should not be in contact unless the pads are missing. Are you suggesting that the rear drivers side brake pad has scored the disc ? New pads shouldn't cause any...

Maybe the D2 had more caster as standard than the D1. The D1 axle was RR Classic / Defender based, whereas the D2 changed to the CV type joints. I think most recommendations for the D2 do not include caster correction for 2 inch lift. You can add it, but it will be at the expense of making the...

You won't need 3 degree caster correction on the front with a 2 inch lift. That's only required for 3 inches and more. I've been running a 2inch lift with standard arms on our D2 for the last 10 years & it steers arrow straight on its own - without any self centering steering damper - just the...

Most of the wiring is fairly straight forward - just making sure you match the correct wires up - "simples" ;). The new head unit wiring is all clearly labelled, so you then have to get the wiring diagram for your car set-up (Harmon Kardon is slightly different to Lear I think) & work out the...

A few months ago I fitted an an XTRONS DQS112L head unit with 10" screen Android operating system & Android Auto / Apple car play, Bluetooth, screen mirroring & reversing camera (camera was extra) Definitely not as cheap as some Chinese units. Cost just over £300 in 1 of their relatively...

I had a tablet mount fixed there for a while. Beware it's not as a rigid as you might like. I ended up back with a long windscreen mount, there was less flex and vibration

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try that & see what happens.

I regularly get the Cookies question when opening the forum - it seems to be about every 3 or 4 days. I always turn off everything except the necessary Cookies & save it before proceeding. Does anyone know why the setting isn't saved permanently ? It didn't used to be so frequent or annoying.

Your gear lever seems well worn where the bias springs rub against it. It was almost 5mm deep on either side of mine, so I filled the grooves with weld & filed it back to smooth. The bias springs now stay in contact far better when in 3rd & 4th & the gearchange feels much better. there's also...

Aagh, I think I know the guy you mean - Mike at Dynachip. Yes, he seemed to stop activity a few years ago. He did my first "Stage 1" ECU upgrade - more than 12 years ago !
