Right, it is 'possible' but unlikely the two are related. My friend had an issue with his RRC. it would sometimes be dicey to start. After a while we realised it was mainly in certain places, and those were the ones he turned right into. We found that part of the wiring loom was snagging on...

Yep, Trafficmaster. GPS Fleet Management Software & Fleet Tracking Systems - Trafficmaster A subscription Nav and Traffic update service. The subscription bit is generally why they are not working when you get a car with one fitted. Mine has some super-duper version where you press the...

I had very similar symptoms on my Disco 1. I eventually traced this to the positive supply to the under-bonnet fuse box. It was making an intermittent contact somewhere within its length, attempting to start the car would somehow cause it to break down, and that would be it. No power there...

Do you mean something like this?

Get/make a rear hoop, a bit like the rear hoop for a tilt, to give you a second fixing point further back? MW

if it's not logging any faults, then it sounds ok to me!

Plug it in, and see what codes you get off it?

Mine gives the invalid response, but since i sorted out the chafed wires and adjusted it up I have had the lights on twice in six months, both times cleared by switching off and on again. Each time it has logged a fault, but clearing this leaves it all fine. Given the cost for the switch I...

Have you cleared down all the old faults?? check the wiring very carefully for any chafing. thats what caused mine to throw M&S wobblies!

Thats disappointing. They e-mailed me today (finally) to confirm that you can calibrate the suspension... MW

However if you must have a thicker wheel, i think my friend put an LDV 400 wheel on his when his series one began to crack up. MW

um, just keep your thumbs on top of the rim and grip with your fingers? How fat a wheel do you want if your thumb can't reach the spokes?? MW

You would need to modify the car being towed, such that the overun mechanism on the A frame operated the vehicle brakes. Normally a discreet cable coming out of the grill, that is connected to the vehicles brake pedal, although some electronic systems are now about. No idea how they work...

MPI D2?? I didn't think there was such a beast? Is it a D1 300 series facelift? MW

Would running it on 205s rather than 650s do the trick. I've seen them with 205s and they 'look' lower, but I've not measured one. MW

At least they responded to your e-mail. I asked exactly the same thing last week and never got a reply. Did they say what V5 adds? I rather expect that once you have the cables, it will work for future upgrades as well! MW

Of course, what I should also do is contribute what I have learned through doing the job. I have a Hawkeye diagnostic tool, and by going into the ABS menu, then circuit tests, then right down towards the end there are the RR and LR ride height options. With these you can directly drive the...

No, there is no pressure feedback to the pump, it depends entirely on the ride height sensors, hence you read about airbags exploding when the sensors fail. I also doubt it's output is up to what you want. It's not a heavy duty compressor, hence you read about them burning out when the bags...

Thanks very much to all who have contributed to this thread and others on the same topic. Friday afternoon my Disco suspension collapsed on me, whilst towing the caravan for a weekend getaway. Now this could have been a disaster, but thanks to Britannia rescue for recovering us promptly, my...

Mikey, I think i'm getting similar. Auto, J Fearn special tune, and lots of B and C roads in my commute. Always does much better on a run. Sometimes does better with the caravan on the back, but cruising, than I get solo on my commute! MW
