thanks very much for those attachments - the headliner cure(s) looks a bit more scientific that the current "loads of gaffer-tape all round the sunroof and down the drip rail" solution, which both looks a bit shoddy and has singularly failed to stop the leaks - :D

that's great chaps, thank you ! definitely soggier on the off-side, so fuse box swap over it is - they seem cheap enough, so far and away the best option first up - much appreciated :)

2001 DII TD5 Hi all - got a few "electrical" issues and wonder if problem is more likely to be fuse box or BCU related Thing got drenched in torrential rain last week, and has always leaked via head lining/offside front pillar, so could well have had some moisture down to the fusebox area...

ahhh - well spotted ! 2001 DII TD5 ES general dampness seems to be the likely reason - but, fingers crossed, no more symptoms today, and no repetition of the running on....

might make sense - the relay on my auxiliary driving lights is fried as well - looks like the electrics had a complete fit it some point and i'll be finding other bits and pieces for a while - bit strange that the diagnostics didn't flag a single error with the new battery in situ and the ECU...

well - here's a novel approach to faults, quite opposite to the usual problems ! had a few electrical issues this week - battery died (just packed up due to old age, supposedly nothing sinister) - but when back up and running courtesy of RAC jump start, there were a few odd things going on...

well - I did put down that it had seven seats - maybe that makes it a bus ? :)

well - i just logged on to see if there are any preferred insurers for discos as the moment other than AF and thought I'd click on the CoOp ad at the bottom of the page while I was on-line to get a quote go through all the details for my bog standard TD5 and get.... " Unacceptable due to car...

pffft - got the same problem, checked with the MOT garage and been told that it's a definite fail with the ABS light on, regardless of the fact that it may just be the sensor that's playing up ! :mad:

ok - time to gear up for the winter - what are the weapons of choice when it comes to headlamp and driving lamp bulbs ? got a 2001 DII TD5 - standard pre-face lift lights and safari 5000 driving lamps, standard wiring loom with the S5000's on the high beam circuit - currently got the original...

thanks fellas - appreciate your comments

2001 dii td5

right - ahem obviously didn't do the cap up tight enough (if at all) last time i topped up the water, and the bloody thing's come off in transit (after a week of driving around !) - cue overheating (surprise !), general malaise and a tow home... now - can i lash something up with gaffer tape...

Hi everyone - trust you're all enjoying the driving conditions ! Looking for a new reflector/lens to fit inside a standard S5OOO housing - does anyone know of anything that'll do the job other than the "proper" STC8811 version - these come in at about £30.00 each - wondered if there was owt...

well, well, well - there's a thing ! had a test on the fuel sample i retained done by a tame lab, contacted through a coach company i know, and it transpires that i filled up with unadulterated diesel interesting to see what happens now, having informed the RAC of this fact, and also that I'm...

hi everyone ! are these things worth the extra money ? K & N branded on e-bay and the like for thirty quid plus, getting on for ten times as much as other things that'll no doubt do the job - is the contribution to enhanced performance worth forking out for ? thanks....

assuming that i actually get around to buying these things, what are the legal ramifications ? i've dug up all sorts on various posts from them being entirely illegal, to being fine if second hand and fitted on an older vehicle, to stuffing up your insurance by ludicrous amounts to being...

goes without saying that any other defender or discovery (apart from D3's, obviously) is "waved out" at junctions and the like, but as for "the nod", that doesn't seem to happen at all down here in deepest east sussex - maybe familiarity breeds contempt, as every other vehicle seems to be a...

right - i'm after some bull bars for a 2001 DII TD5, and have seen these for sale: now, the vendor isn't sure what model they are - bought 'em to fit an old 300 and they didn't by all accounts, but it doesn't matter how long i stare blankly at the pictures trying to compare them with what i...

always had this problem, but flagged up yet again this morning - 02 DII TD5 - moderate speed through puddles anything larger than a tea tray and the windscreen is deluged with a vast sheet of water that renders the road entirely invisible ! am i simply driving like too much of an arse, missing...
