Looks good, I think I will invest. Thanks.

Hi again. Well, two weeks later after being ignored all of the last week too, it unlocked on the remote and started as it should. I now think that even though I had removed the fuse and relay for the air suspension, maybe it was still live somehow and taking power over night to flatten the...

The code reader tool looks interesting, better than my basic one, so I will look into it further. I really need one that can talk air bags, ABS and obviously if its possible to talk to the ECU about the suspension that would save time and money. As regards the power drain. Yes, I have thought...

Hi again. I have been pondering on getting hold of a device that will actually talk to the car rather than my basic code reader. If I can get one and turn the alarm off that way, it would be my preferred route but I imagine that any reader that can talk landrover is quite expensive? I did want...

Will do I am still sure that I have some fault on the alarm system that might well have been causing the battery drain which is what lead to my latest issue. I stopped using the remote to lock the car about a year ago because the alarm would always go off a minute later. So I have been locking...

I have a spare RF somewhere from the car I scrapped last year, I will dig it out and fit it. I agree completely that I should find the drain first, just never met a drain that doesn't drain when you test it with a ammeter but still can flatten a good battery overnight! I will have to look more...

Hi. Looking for more info about the electrical system on my disco 2 (again!). I've been leaving the battery disconnected over night etc as I have a drain somewhere to find when I get some time. (I've already discussed that issue on here and have some ideas to invest, just not had the time yet)...

Thanks again everyone, a few more things to think about. I do now wonder about the air suspension side of things, I did the swap on mine about 5 weeks ago, 3 weeks before this fault started but clearly the relay charging could be related. I disconnected the main relay and fuse for the system...

Drop tester used with no issues on current battery. Still getting very little current flow between the positive connection and terminal when I do a drain test. When the car is parked up and locked, I can hear a relay engaging and then clicking off about once a minute but I am not managing to...

All a good plan. I have a drop tester on order and I will also do a battery substitution to help confirm before ordering a new battery. I will do the circuit by circuit test next if the battery proves ok, currently I am using the disconnect overnight method of starting the car when I need it...

I have been considering it might be the battery. I don't know its exact age although I have had it on the car for four years now and it looked newish when I first got it with a disco I scraped then. I was going to get a drop tester as I have needed one some many times over the last 40 years...

Hi I am looking for advice on a battery discharge over night that has recently appeared on my 1998 Disco 2 V8. I have checked the drain when everything if off using my ammeter between the battery terminal and battery post, its very small so not likely to be the problem unless something is...

Hi I have just got hold of a good TD5 pre facelift Disco 2 chassis that I intend to strip and get ready to fit to my car in the future. Mine is also a Pre facelift but a V8. I think there is a difference on the engine mounting brackets between the two Chassis's but I wondered if anyone knows...

I hate spelling correction on phones!!!

Thank you all for your responses, some very helpful points. I know my area is ok for log at the moment but it's interesting to hear that it's not always available elsewhere. I also live 15 away from RPI engines who do conversions and sell log. As it's a virtual brand new and free system, it is...

I have too V8s, one is very rusty and have a very sick engine but it also has an LPG kit which works and was new a year ago and has only done 5000. The other car is good, has a nice engine that is water happy. I have always intended to swop the LPG kit over, any one got any opinions on LPG.

So, 8 months later I eventually got feed up with driving around on 6 so I decided it was time to find out more about my miss fire. I stripped the top manifold off and rocker boxes and checked the cam lift, it was all fine after all so I then tested the coil packs properly and found one was...

I have kept it under cover during the rain, granted this hasn't been too much of a problem recently! Wipers and all the other electrics appear to be working fine. My guess is that it must be the sunroof problem causing water to get onto the fuse board and now that its had time to dry out, its...

Thanks for that, makes lots of sense and I do have a second car that I can swop bits over from if needed so I will look further. All good fun.

Hi I wondered if anyone had any pointers to my discos wiper problem. I believe it feels that keeping the windscreen clear is such an important job because it never lets the wipers stop working. You can set them to slow intermittent and they only go over the screen every so often but they never...
