I have just driven my brother-in-law's Defender 90, 300 Tdi van home from being stuck on his drive. He is a lovely bloke and has ended up in a caring role for not so fab father-in-law. So we (my family and I) have decided we need to get his landy back to top form and surprise him at the...

Auto drives great and relaxed for school drop off. In snow and ice works well. Disco 2 has hill descent and it works great - tested it a lot last winter. Also do a search on gearboxes on the forum and look at the gearbox shaft wear at high miles. Can get a madified hardened shaft but that is...

Thanks for the quick replies and the links to the pdf files. Useful to be reminded where the BCU sits and to confirm the EKA WILL reset. I did see the 5 minute 'wait' the problem was an unclear lock reaction to ensure I was counting correctly. I will recharge overnight and have another go...

Hi Took Disco out yesterday for a 40 mile trip. It unlocked, started and ran fine. Parked up and key fob would not lock doors so used key. Came back 4 hours later and still fob not working so unlock with key and engine will not start. No click from solenoid. Dead. Check with Nanocom and...

Thanks for confirmation - I now know what I will be doing tomorrow.

I have been offered a new set of oil, air and rotary Bearmach filters for a TD5 Defender. Am I right to assume they will be the same as for the TD5 Disco (suspect I may need to check air filter size)?:)

Brand new battery added last week and same intermitent start problem with 'clicking' remains.

My brother-in-law is having trouble with starting his Defender 90. Clicking noise only so sounds like the starter solenoid is worn out. I have seen a starter repair kit for the TD5 defender engine - Nippon Denso starter. Can anyone confirm for me: Is the 1997 2.5 Tdi Defender a 300 Tdi unit...

I plugged an ammeter in between the battery and battery negative lead and found that the 0.05A background draw shot up to 0.8A when I opened a door. I ensured all the interior lights (incl glovebox) were off and with the door shut it stayed at 0.8A? I then took each fuse out one by one and found...

Keep it simple get a Nanocom for the TD5 thensell it with the car, or Ebay and recoup yourmoney when you ultimately change. Otherewise there is no solution to what you want.

Hi I have a 2000 Reg Auto Discovery. The battery was replaced last week because it kept going flat. On test it went flat even when disconnected so clearly a faulty battery. The charging circuit works OK under test at around 14.6 Volts. The battery nonetheless continues to discharge and...

Get the torch tweezers and a small screwdriver out and take the new relay out and get that broken bit out. Then double check you have the right new relay. Rimmer Bros do them online £15 aftermarket oif 2-3 days for LR one at £30 see : Land Rover Discovery 1 Relays at www.rimmerbros.co.uk

Do a google search for Rave CD. You will find a link to download the factory Disco 2 manual. Then look in that under electrical and it will describe each circuit how it is wired the fuses and relays involved etc. From that you can then check the relevant fuses, relays etc. Good luck. The...

Sorted - Found electrical diagram courtesy of Rave. Traced it to faulty relay in drivers side fuseboard. Swapped it out and they were back working so ordered one from Rimmers.

I have a 2000 reg auto Discovery 2. I was celebrating last week having fixed the three amigos and cured a fault with the auto box wiring that sent me into limp home mode. Then the children asked me why the rear wndows wouldn't work! They were working fine until this week. They are now dead...

The roof lining is lined cabin side with material but has some sort of plastic/fibrelass backing. So water leaks in and then depending upon where the car is parked and the run of the lining surface it drips out at the first weakest link. If you do a google search there is tons of stuff on the...

Good point. Possibly not so I will go for a blast down the road tomorrow.

Yes I took it back out the shed and ran it up and down the drive a couple of times using the brakes. I assume that should be enough? I have the right hand front wheel off to check the abs sensor but see the cable dissappears into the hub and there is no room to get my fingers in there so I...

I have just been using my new Nanocom for the first time to solve the Three Amigos on my 2000 Reg Disco 2. The faults read pointed to front right wheel ABS sensor and the ABS relay. Since the relay is £10 and I have read of a faulty relay being common and causing battery discharge (have had...

Bearmach very good but locked to one vehicle by VIN code. May also need more than one cable. I tried to find out what I needed for diesel Disco but was referred to Bearmachs manual i.e. work it out yourself. I invested in nanocom and found one of the last units around - they are selling on ebay...
