Mine also did this very regularly. Alas I sold it, so I don't have any way to diagnose!

Hi, The kit lowers the rear as much as the standard LR suspension remote - it doesn't lower right down onto the bump stops but I recall it being around 6 inches or so - I can't say I've measured it exactly. They are available - if you're interested, drop me an email [email protected]...

Hehe, thanks. Each solution has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of mine is that by 'using' the SLABS ecu, it interfaces nicely with the original LR specs - you can't lower the suspension while driving etc. The disadvantage is that if the SLABS ecu screws up or the height sensors...

Have a read of: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/david-pyes-sls-lowering-suspension-kit-pictures-214802.html and feel free to drop me a PM :-) Cheers David

I haven't personally tried using stop leak on these systems - but my understanding is, as others said, that it works by swelling rubber seals. The other issue is these systems run at several hundred bar of pressure, hence needing decent pipes. If you've got a pinhole, the rest of the pipe...

The system as you currently have it is going to bite you in the ass one day when you need it, either in that the ACE will fail, or you'll have a large fluid loss, and end up knackering the pump. As mighty Yoda said, either do, or do not, there is no try. So, either rip the system out, or fix...

Yah, if you go further down in the disco2 page, he mentions he changed the centre bearing. I did the same, and as he says, it comes with a new rubber dust sleeve. Probably worth changing it while you've got everything apart anyway. David

A swift google provides: Discovery 2 Propshaft at www.rimmerbros.co.uk Propshaft gaiter - I'm guessing that's the thing you're after?

Not heard of it myself, and can't find a hit on google either. I'd ask your tester what he means!

The solenoid is part of the starter motor assembly. An overhaul kit consisting of a new plunger and copper contacts is available usually via ebay etc. The symptom of the solenoid misbehaving is usually a click on turning key but if you look at the starter motor there is a thinish wire...

Assuming this is a disco2? It could be the starter motor solenoid if there is a quiet click (This is quite common). Repair kit cheaply available on ebay. Alternatively, as you hint at, it could be a worn ignition switch contactor? David

I think you've probably got a CD changer underneath the driver's seat for playing music. David

Depends, imho. If I didn't know something I was planning on doing might cause me to fail an MOT, I'd be grateful for someone to point it out!

If the examiner knows it had SRS installed, isn't it an MOT fail nowadays if airbags are removed? (I doubt the examiner would know in a Disco 1, but presumably a Disco2 is a no-no...) David

When I replaced mine on a W-reg (it was a 2 pipe regulator), the new LR one casting was a slightly different shape, and looked more sturdy and less inclined to warp. The casting also looked like the same as the one for the 3 pipe, but that opening wasn't machined out. David

Radius arm bushes?

On it's way to you :-) Comments/suggestions/questions etc - just let me know! Cheers David

and the cause was? (for the benefit of the next person with this problem....)
