zzr1100. what a bike. had mine since 2000 and still love it. actually off to belgium next month on it, for a bsa rally.:eek: back on topic. my auto does about 23mpg on local trips.

have read on here before that if it has decent bearings (iirc, timkins.) then supplier should`nt matter.

i had the same concern when i got my td5. but read in a previous thread that they are good for life.

couple of times lately, i`ve had 25 bags of ballast and cement (approx 750kg) in the boot of my d2. had to start the engine and pump the suspension up halfway through loading. but seems ok with it.

the cant be bothered to take out the roof lining way. i did this as a temporary fix last summer and its been dry ever since. i run a bead of silicon around the outer plastic surround where it joins the roof.

definatly as above. considering what could have been, you`ve had a result.

morning, just reading todays posts whilst drying out, poxy rain, and spotted your location. so thought i`d say hello. i`m down in the valley and have a disco2 auto. forever tinkering with it. i know a couple of engineers in biggin hill and the vmc. maybe mutual freinds. cheers, steve.

not done my td5 yet but have done loads on motorbikes. i imagine similar. i pump the brakes to get the pistons out. if doing 2 calipers dont let the pistons come all the way out until both pistons extended. often leaving 1 pad in the caliper will stop the piston coming all the way out. keep an...

had a similar problem on my td5. found a few articles on here about it. basically it was the park switch which was u/s. unfortunately its part of the wiper motor and the whole wiper motor needs replacing. cost me about £45 for a new one about a year ago. been fine since.

worth checking the front camshaft cap.

seems they all have their own characters. coz mine does`nt do it on startup either.

hi, mine was in a similar state. it literally fell apart in my hands. so i used the wrap around helix type plastic. its used on motorcycle braided brake lines. i did this a couple of years ago and its still ok. steve.

same as above on mine with dry solder joint. but even that didnt fix it on mine. the circuit board on the sender unit had a tiny crack (seen with a magnifying glass) on one of the electrical pathways. my avo told me it was there but i couldnt see it with the naked eye. my gauge showed empty with...

i dont know why i think this. but is`nt it electronic on the d2?

me and my wife moved both our cars to admiral on a multi car policy because they would insure my teenage daughter in her first car (renault kangoo 1.4) for £750 fully comp. the lady i spoke to at admiral was telling me what i need to do to get the price down. even our insurance with them was...

i think they`re called upper and lower suspension ball joints.

Rebuild D2 ZF Selector Switch UHB100190 - Australian Land Rover Owners could try the above if your brave or want to save some cash. i take it your battery is good. as a low battery will give the symptons you have.

I'm not looking for anything too clever as it won't be an everyday car, something like a 4 wheel guzzi!! (got soul as a fellow biker i see where your coming from. guzzi`s do look good but if you dont know your italian stuff of old. you`ll be buying a heap of trouble. what with electrics and...

as above says. i`ve used the guy in scotland. very helpful. he even took back a bit that i correctly ordered and then found i did`nt need.

mine does and will continue to do so. find it very handy for carrying heavy loads in the boot. was initially sceptical about its reliability, but its actually quite a simple system to fix.
