I took a look I must confess my heart was not fully in it and on top of that it was cold and I had time pressures. So after those poor excuses I have to confess that I could not get my hand to the connector and rgus could not perform the test. If the inlet manifold (I think) wasn't in the way it...

Thanks! When I get home I will send my smaller handed wife out to undo that! (I will try first - honest)Then I can check if the battery still gets shorted what is the point of connecting the white/green wire on the alternator to the positive terminal? (or was that to the white/green wire in...

Thanks....but... The garage is about 20 minutes away, the battery is likely pretty poor after the abuse it has taken but I do have a second battery i could swap over half way FL1 I can easily remove I've got wire and I assume the white/green wire is one in the connector i need to disconnect...

I broke down last night! Not me but my D2 :-) all the dash pights flashed on and 20 seconds later it stopped. the recovery guy tried to jump start it but the sparks when he connected his portable battery pack were impressive in the dark but flattened it 20 seconds I have charged the battery...

In the end it was the fusible link - thanks for all the help. I don't really understand why we need two fuses for the same circuit but I'm certainly happy that the fusible link blew rather than the compressor - despite the cost of the things. Thanks for all your help

Its a 7 seater - I thought there were legal issues with that Anyway, I like the air suspension (when it works)

I finally got 20 minutes today to progress this - between the torrential rain showers :-( I checked the fuses - 10A - fine I tried jacking her chassis up with the engine running and the doors closed but this did no good. I tried feeling the compressor box for any vibration but if there...

Bought last summer from a fellow Landyzoner now needs a new home. She runs perfectly but lack of space on the drive dictates sale. Improved ECU, turbo, intercoooler, tow bar, etc She is an absolute pleasure to drive Full details in this ad: Land Rover Discovery 2.5 Td5 ES 5 seat 5dr...

Yup the doors were very shut - I've been caught out by that before - it was dark and no internal lights were on before I turned the ignition. I'll definitely give the jacking a go - easy enough - cheers

Yes, I disconnected the battery before hand and only reconnected it when it was all back together.

Its all dark and wet now - I'll have a look tomorrow. What are the likely causes? Or are we saying that the compressor has died? :eek:

I can't hear it! The problem is I don't remember particularly hearing it before. The engine note changes a couple of seconds after starting - that about all I notice.

Hi - apologies for this probable duplicate... 2 weeks ago, the RHS air bag fully inflated and stayed that way. I got her home and left her there unti lI could do something about it (today!) It was likely to be a ride sensor failure so I bought a new one. I bled the air from the bag by...

Spring is coming... I have a nice low mileage '04 D2 Premium automatic (with CDL) and an '02 D2 manual (with ecu remap, bigger intercooler, nicer turbo etc) both running ok. I don't enjoy driving the automatic (!!) - I have tried - honest Would it be viable to swap the auto for the manual...

I was wondering about replacing all the externally accesible screws with security head screws. I'm particularly thinking of the long screws that hold the fancy rear light 'guards' on. The local screw-merchant did not have anything in stock, said they'd struggle to get anything with black...
