Been a bit quiet on my Project thread lately, just been feeling very unwell (long story will only get worse), and also busy ;) I have also fitted in a load of the less essential jobs on D15KOE this weekend whilst waiting for the parts (Medium Duty Springs and complete Watts Linkage) to...

D15KOE's first working maiden voyage, 120 mile round trip to Portree to pick up the wee Corsa for the old fella ;) Towed well, didn't miss a beat, only complaint is the new rear Springs, Standard rate / height are pants, the wee Corsa is not exactly a heavy weight and the ass end of the...

OK, well, predictably, on a Monday, the phone was alight, lots of drop in customers, so I finally finished the left side weldathon at 7 pm last night, got to fire it all back together, test the Towbar Socket and replace if needs be, and remove the drop plate on the Rear Towball, plus a...

Hi, Thanks for the advice, much appreciated ;) It does say in the advert that he uses OEM Bushes, and has a 12 Month Warranty, so if it goes bad I'll be hitting him for a refund or replacement with LR Bushes ;)...

Just a small update on this ............... I haven't got to the Engine yet, have replaced both front Shock Absorbers (Terrafirma All Terrain and standard height front Springs), also stripped the rear end Springs and Shocks and Welding to right side Chassis between Spring Mount, also Between...

Predictably "Brunch" was lovely, but after we'd finished at 1pm things have been going a fair bit slower. Before Brunch I decided to also weld in 2 more plates, between Spring Mount and Shock Absorber Mount and the next bit along between Shock Absorber Mount and Outrigger as although there were...

Back tuit .................. Not certain how much will actually get done today, Mel is cooking Brunch at midday and I'm still full from last nights mass Ruby :rolleyes: Close of play last night .... I know the Spring Mount looks well grotty but they are 3mm thick at least, thicker than the...

It's going well and much easier than the Fronts, all bolts came out with no issues. Both rear Shocks were knackered ;) No wonder the stability felt pants ;) Back end will likely not be finished until Sunday night / Monday as I am welding 2 plates inside the Chassis' Spring Hanger / Receptacles...

That's the right and left front Shocks and Springs finished, left front shock sha99ed, well passed it's sell by date, just gotta chuck the Wheels on tomorrow ;) I also fitted the first of the new Boost Hoses as it had to come off to get the left Shock Turret out :) Rears tommoz :) Beer...

That's the best news I've had today (It's definitely Friday 13th lol) :) I gotta go drop a customers Car back in a short while, then I'll be back at the old girl, hopefully get LF finished before close of play today, I've then got at least Saturday, half of Sunday at least and then Monday and...

Well the 2 problematic (heads rusted away) lower Shock bolts were easier to get at once I chopped the old Spring into little bitties and then whacked a 7/16 impact socket on top of the rusted away heads, they came out ;) So that's the right front done, which I do believe that one is the hardest...

Thank You for the detailed reply which I do fully understand :) I will get a look at that later today, I assume (eek) an aap is Ambient Air Pressure like on some other vehicles ? Just wanted to be sure hence the (eek) as we all know what assumption is the muvver of ;)

Thank You for your kind comments :) Yes I was having a bad couple of weeks and in melt down, things have got better now both the family issues and the Disco ;) I posted a copy of this in the general Discovery Forum, without the rant and couple of guys came on board with some helpful info. I...

Thank you, and yes I will try disconnecting the MAF, I bought the cheapie Intermotor from one of my Factors, generally I have had issues with intermotor especially Crank Sensors, ABS Sensors and Lambdas, I don't usually buy the sh1te now ;) However, when I first got D15KOE I cleared out my...

Hi, a quick bump, I am busy work wise atm so won't be back on D15KOE until Friday for a long weekend to Monday evening :) I have almost cured the Wandering after reading some posts on here ............... Embarrased to say it but I let significant air outta the rear Tyres (were at 36 psi), and...

Wow some progress there buddy, are your plans to use a canvas top, or pannelled in bodywork for the Tub ? Lovin' the ladder and also the Tea / Coffee Mugs made me chuckle ;)

It ran worse with MAF failed, haven't tried disconnecting might get time later to try that ;) No haven't checked Wastegate yet, very good call, will test it and its Actuator / Vac circuit later, i do know all pipes are connected as I have done a ton of work on the old girl so far and been...

Thank You so much :) Engine and Trans are from 80k Miler, Oil was pretty clean when I got it, I changed Oil both Oil Filters and used Valvoline Oil specifically for the TD5, plus Air Filter and Fuel Filter. It has done around 1500 miles now Oil is still clean. The vibe definitely feels like a...

I could really use some help with this Discovery 2 TD5 now if anyone can confirm my suspicions / help me on a few issues below ;) 1) It's always had a slight Engine Vibration, can be felt most when hand on Auto Shifter Stick, or Elbow on Door Card ?? The Trans Mounts looked OK, so I ordered a...

Family have gone home, work and trouble with other family have meant not much done in the last 10 days or so with D15KOE ..................... I fitted a pair of Engine Mounts and also the good used Half-shaft and a new left front Caliper Carrier. I could really use some help with this...
