Hi guys, Changed my top and bottom ball joints both sides on front axle this week and put back together, on putting back together and trying on the road I was getting TC light as soon as pulling off engaging the brakes. The only thing I thought I did differently was changing the o-ring on the...

Hi guys Just about to put my 300tdi coolant system back together, had all new pipes new rad and new inter cooler. Was thinking of tapping the top of rad m6 for a bleed point when filling? Since I’m using a tdci bulkhead my heater supply pipes are quite high up too so I brought some brass 90 deg...

quick question as I’m sure someone will know! What size is the return pipe for the td5 tank and will some plain fuel straight hose be alright rather than the pricey made to fit replacements? I can’t measure as it doesn’t live with me and want to order Cheers! Edit if anyone knows the size of...

What's the cheapest diagnostic tool that allows recalibration of the sls? Nanocom is really expensive! There's some readers for like 50 quid and hawkeye/lynx seem abit better price. Any advice? Cheers

As title suggests I came to drive the disco today and the sls was fully raised and didn't want to start. Got it started tried going to 30 to see if auto dropped height no luck tried going off road mode just beeped didn' change height. Am I right in suspecting sensors? No sag on either side both...

Anyone know what dimensions are for d2 batteries? Can't find it on net! That or a recommendation for a decent one, the suggested ones seem a tad puny Cheers

D2 started playing me around tonight (typically when you need to be somewhere) not starting. First I thought battery and went to jump off van to realise I've left my jump leads somewhere :confused: weird thing was it didn't even try to crank when it was doing then it jumped to life. Which made...

Besides the disco 1 axle having swivel joints and the disco 2 having the ball joint knuckles is there any other diffirences between the axles? Is there any advantage of the newer d2 version? Eg strength? As far as I can see it just introduces perishables in the seals and ball joints. Whereas...

Just to top the problems off this week with my D2 the float switch has decided it doesn't want to float. Can't find any switches that are less than 30 quid. Which seems like a massive waste, could probably make one cheaper.. so question is anyone managed to reseal one or make float some other...

Hi guys, Does changing the drag link assembly affect the tracking of wheels? Or can I just unbolt the drag link and track rod and rebolt on new one? I'm looking at buying the whole assembly as it seems easier than replacing the end joints for not much diffirence in price? Mot guy reckons half an...

Hi guys took the D2 for its mot today, was hoping the three amigos would stay silent but sadly they popped up and counted as a fail! :rolleyes: surprise since the defenders not sorted yet I actually need to fix it soonish, he diagnosed it and it came up as a abs valve problem. Two questions one...

Making a mount to fit a factory air cleaner as it had a crap aftermarket one, not gana use the origional style bracket as 1 they're silly expensive and 2 I hear messing with the head bolts is a bad idea So my question was since I'm making a custom mount off the compressor mounting point over...

After changing my uj's today I was looking at the prop and thinking why does the D2 need a double cardan joint? My 90 has a steeper angle and just single uj joints? I can't see why it needs it!

Hi guys my renewal has come up and I was wondering who people have had luck with for better/cheaper policies. Having been ripped off by admiral multicar again (more expensive than anyone with the supposed discount of my families 3 other cars) Was quoted 800 for a £2300 1999 D2 hastings not even...

Hi having issues with glow plug wiring on a 300 tdi engine mix and match loom td5 seatbox Tdci bulkhead It's a right mess. Been putting in td5 clocks and I couldn't figure out glow plug warning light. After looking for the glowplug relay I couldn't find it. But it did find the WR ignition wire...

Hi just wondered if there was a reason for the flange nut arrangement on the bellhousing. I temporarily used standard m10s and washers/springs cut to size to fit to basically full thread and be tight. They're 8.8 strength so up to it, unless there is another reason besides people bottoming out...

Wanted 300 tdi air cleaner, cleaner brackets, cleaner to turbo pipe, cleaner to dump pipe, dump valve and dump valve to RHS grill pipe. Thanks

Hi guys yet another few issues! I've come round to the air filter for my 300 tdi and I'm struggling 1 with how expensive the rubber hoses seem to be anyone had anything cheaper than the 60 quid air filter - turbo pipe :eek: and as the origional had a weird diy snorkel on I'm missing a few more...

Hi does anyone know how the central locking circuit in a tdci bulkhead works? I've put one on my 300 tdi and I'm wondering if I'll be able to use the existing central locking wiring and just put a new signal receiver on it or if I'll have to put in new wiring? I don't know if it would have been...

Anyone got the distances for fitting a rear wiper motor to a safari door? Got a free motor as they get took off the work landys. Mine didn't come with the pre drilled holes. I think there may also be a bracket missing? Anyone also know if possible to fit central locking to the rear door lock?
