Been trying to diagnose a friend's td5 discovery. It's been killing the battery over 2-3 days. Initially I found a GPS tracking unit behind the rear quarter panel.. so binned all that which did help.. but not enough. Using an amp meter between the neg and battery.. with bonnet switched...

One of the work d4s (2014 3.0 Diesel)... Done some research and realised the vacuum pump gasket has failed, it's leaking oil, and where the pump dumps the air it sucks from the vacuum into the oil return its escaping through the broken gasket. Next question.. how the hell do you replace that...

So friend wanted me to disable couple things on his 08 fl2, reversing sensors and seatbelt warning etc. Thought no problem can do that, I've read engine codes for him before with Hawkeye. But as soon as I tried to enter any BCM related settings (like instrument's) on the Hawkeye it makes the bcm...

Anyone know what KW output the d3/4 webasto pre heaters are? Thinking of fitting one to central heating in static caravan, need a min of 5kw really. Tia

Since I bought this disco it has honestly been the worst sounding interior I've ever driven, every rough road or pothole makes every piece of interior trim creak and bang, its ridiculously noisy. As for exterior noise (wind etc) she's pretty good, no worse than my other discos. mechanically she...

So I'm getting round to refurbing the ace on my other disco, and want to replace all bushes as a precautionary measure. Just curious if anyone has used OEM bushes for the ram etc or if its better to steer clear and go genuine? OEM is around £7 and genuine being £30 as one example of the ram end...

From a running truck with 175k miles. Already has an EGR delete. Comes with the injectors, pas pump, AC pump, an ACE delete idler pulley and everything else belt driven. I have removed the starter motor as I needed it for another d2. If I can find another I'll put it on. Pulled pretty well. Will...

Hey, work truck has come in with the problem of a low brake pedal when towing. Have taken it for a drive without a trailer and it brakes perfect, pedal is not too low, and "locks" the wheels no problem. But I've put 3.5 tons on and the brake pedal drops right down near the floor, but then works...

Hey, so one of the work trucks was getting hard to start etc. Traced it down to crank sensor. Wiring was butchered and had been soldered with no insulation around it. Fixed all the wiring up, put the sensor back in and now have 0rpm with the odd jump to 30. Continuety between the plug and the...

Found some nice tyres for sale, and not too far away. Price is right but not sure on the alloys, I've always had the 18" facelift ones, but want to go 16 for comfort. Just wondering if anyone has a pic of these on a silver D2? Call me picky but I want it to look nice :)

Hey, just picked up what I was told were 235/70/16s Went to fit them and realised I've got 2x 255/65/16s 2x 245/70/16s And the spare is different again.. If the same size are kept on the same axle will this be a problem? It works out about 10mm diamiter different.. will it mess with abs/TC? Or...

Although I've had my ace disconnected for a little while now and running in locked bars mode due to it needing work, was curious about a couple things. I found that it would corner terribly for the first say 5 hard corners, then after that the ACE would work perfect and keep it level. No faults...

So had this for months now.. actually think it was after I replaced all brakes and suspension components. Only "grinds" when turning right and only really when on the gas pedal. doesn't do it when turning left nor when its rolling. I've had all 4 brake calipers and dust guards off and made sure...

Heeey, so quick question, if anyone wants to jump in their d2 and hold the brake pedal hard with the engine idling... does it slowly creep until it hits the floor? Cause mine does, Its stiff as can be without the engine on, but when fired up it will hit the floor, one pump and it will go back...

Hey, been getting the 3 amigos a bit more often than not now, particularly after some off roading yesterday using HDC. Fault code is 4073: outlet valve left hand front (power amp. With short to...uvent) ?? Don't really know if this just means I need to shuttle valve switch mod, I only swapped...

Was browsing and saw these bull bars on gumtree, and have only ever seen them fitted to a non facelift disco, will they fit an 03 facelift? Don't know if the bumper is different or if they just go up and under onto the chassis. any pics appreciated...

Sooo... I had this problem before where the steering had like a small stiff point if you turned the wheel fast. So I suspected either the steering column joints or the box itself. Well today I changed the box, and replaced the one end of the column, and made sure the other end was good, but to...

So my propshaft has been dying for a long time now, big clunks and stuff. And now its finally given up, managed to limp it home a mile very slowly, which felt like going over a cattle grid all the time. Anyway I don't think a repair kit is in order as it looks like its damaged the actual...

Well this morning I had a dead battery, jump started it but noticed later I didn't have any music. The aftermarket alpine radio is working fine, just no sound, not even a hiss. I checked the 2 fuses under the drivers kick panel, and they are fine.. am I missing something? I'm guessing it's the...

So here is, my beloved engine I put loads of work into.. and I'm not saying I'm certainly selling it, but seeing if it gets any interest to make it worth while. Soo, it's out of my old damaged 2003 d2 auto. Has around 160k miles on it. My plan was to get it perfect, and then swap it into my new...
