No my compressor is not running constantly. According to the very detailed article at the start of this thread, that could be a leak somewhere. At least the compressor is working. That is about the only expensive part of the system, so whatever other repair you need is likely to be easy and...

The button is for off-road use. It is to get a bit of extra height if you get in to trouble. It will drop back down if you go over, something like, 18 miles per hour. [corrected speed] I can't remember if the pump runs all the time. I'll have to check tonight.

Do you know how many owners do not understand that? At the Peterborough show I was told I should drive the course with the Diff Lock on. I kept quiet and just let the traction control do its job. Much better control if you only brake the wheel that is spinning. I struggle to think of a...

If you have a corrupt version try getting another copy of RAVE: land rover rave technical system http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/where-can-i-get-free-discovery-1-rave-download-165152.html

Back to the first question. A D2 with a factory fitted Centre Diff Lock (CDL) lever should have a sticker just in front of the lever showing how to use it, H, N, L and Diff lock The earlier D2's that I have seen just had a sticker showing Hi and Low.

The circuit diagrams for the Discovery 2 in RAVE are in colour but I have found the colours are very difficult to identify and in at least one case the colour code above the wire is different to the colours used in the diagram! I always have to check and double check the colour before touching...

Drove through a flood to rescue the take away curry. It was too deep for the delivery guy's car. Great fun. I'll post the video on my blog in a couple of days: Discover That

Yesterday, fitted a car cam. One of the 0801 type from a company called Combi on e-bay. Found some promising unused wires behind the sunroof switches. With a bit of hunting in the circuit diagrams and connector library turns out they are for an electric interior mirror. I was never going...

You will probably get more replies if you start a new thread on that topic rather than piggybacking on an unrelated existing thread. Regards

It's just gone 8am on a Saturday and the man from Event Tyres has been, fitted my replacement tyre and gone already. Great service. The tyre was split at the Peterborough LRO Show course last weekend. There's some photos of the day here: Discover That: LRO Show Peterborough

Not sure. We looked on the next go round but nothing obvious. The site was mainly sand but there were plenty of rocks cleared to the sides. I guess one just stuck out in the wrong place. We didn't see anyone else with any tyre damage so we were just unlucky. I've just put some picture...

Home from the show now. We managed to slash a tyre on the off-road course. Nasty 5cm vertical gash. Completely flat. A marshal pointed it out. The tyre was only about 3 weeks old! The marshals were fantastic helping to fit the spare and find a working bottle jack as mine was...

I already have a compressor but I've gone for the hose reel and shears because the price is so low and I was looking for both of those anyway just for occasional use.

Are Land Rovers psychic? Yesterday I'm reading up on Air Suspension and this morning I get to the car to find it is sat down on its stops! Based on what I read yesterday I am confident that I just need to replace the air springs. I'll be ordering them to collect from Peterborough at the weekend.

I like the idea of LED lighting and have recently replaced my interior lights with LEDs. I tried a low cost interior lamp and that failed almost instantly. I then bought more expensive Osram versions and they have been perfect and much brighter than the old filament types. I would change...

Only just found this thread. Excellent. I think air springs get a bad press but by the sounds of it there is nothing significant to worry about. Mine off-roaded very nicely and the extra height when grounded did come in handy.

Lost a reversing/fog light unit and nearly ripped off the rear bumper. Off-roading at Canewdon. I'm glad I fitted the rear protection under the tow bar before I left this morning. Yesterday I rushed to fit as CB thinking it would be useful today. Trouble is there were so many low trees the...

Finished fitting the Daytime Running Lamps and Spot Lights. DRLs worked first time by intercepting the Fog Light wires and relay. The only new wires were for the circuit that turns off the DRLs when the other lights are on. Very neat and tidy with no long cable runs.

So far today... I have had new BFG Mud Terrain Tyres fitted I fitted a new pollen filter. I don't like things that are broken or untidy. I'm not sure if it does anything but it costs hardly anything and looks a lot neater now when I lift the bonnet. Had the tracking done. The steering...

I bought mine from Amazon. Not sure how good a deal it was but it was convenient. I've done the inside of the chassis of a Discovery 2 using the ML stuff and was able to get everywhere done with ease using existing holes. I've started with the 49?? Black stuff but only got a third done so...
