Just thought I'd give an update on the loss of instruments, I connected the used instrument unit and everything is back to normal, displays 159,000 miles. I took my instrument unit to my local TV repair man (has a TD5 Disco) and he was able to repair the damaged tracks, so I put mine back in and...

Thats a releif, only the mileage issue then? my disco has only done 77000 miles but it's about to go to 150,000 plus, is there a way to restore my mileage?

Hi Mate, I took the fuse box apart, it was perfect not a thing wrong with it, I've got an ex LR tech coming to put a diagnostic on it, but I've also been told that you cannot use used parts as the other components won't accept it? Does anyone have experience of chaning a BCU with a used part?

Cheers mate, downloading rave now, I am trying to get a new plug for the fuel pump as one terminal is heat damaged.

Hi, your'e right with that, but I think with so many faults on the system it's not doing it's handshakes with the BCU and ECU ? I've ordered an enginge bay fuse box off ebay £20 so it'll nice to have another component to swap out as part of the elimation process. I'm still concerned that the...

I'm burnt out with it today and it's quite dark, so i'll start fresh tomorrow, I am also stumped why it did not blow a fuse? Tomorrow I will swap back the IDM box see if the engine will start, prior to that I'll pull out the engine bay fuse box. Is there any way the ECM or BCU or instrument...

Hello Sierra Ferry, I removed the old pump today, one of the terminals had melted, also the power cable white/purple and a white/black cable were melted together. I put the new pump in thinking that would be it. I replaced fuse and relay engine started but still having problems with the display...

Hello again, just replaced relay and removed F10 in engine bay (fuel pump) everything is working, seems like the fuel pump I replaced in April 14 that was a replacement for one that failed in Oct 12 has let me down again :mad2: I do have some drawings to work from Sierrafery, where do you get...

Hi Sierrafery, just did some more testing, removing the relay for the fuel pump in the engine bay elimiates all problems, everything runs as it should in all key positions until fuel starvation kicks in, I wonder if the fuel pump is loading down the circuit ? with the relay in and in fault...

It's a Disco 2 mate

Hello Sierrafery, Thank you for taking an interest. I've checked whats working and what isn't as follows Working whilst in fault Lights front and rear Air con clock cruise control rear washer door mirrors Horn Windscreen wipers and wash Not working in fault No instruments at all Indicators...

Hello fellow LR owners, been a while since I required any help but yesterday lost all instruments and indicators and other switches not working, apart from that drives OK. Checked fuses all ok, replaced the internal fuse box as that was cause of a previous fault, no difference, swapped a few...

Had some luck with the problem, the sensor can be accessed by removing sunroof trim (if yours has one), remove winder handle and trim retaining screw behind handle. the roof lining can be pulled down a little to see the sensor, I used a small ratchet with 8mm skt. I taped a hacksaw blade to the...

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look tomorrow.

Hello guys, been a while since I've posted as my disco 2 has been behaving itself for a while. Just the other day my wife complained that she could not get the car to lock, I tried it with my remote and found that it works fine sat in the car any further away was causing problems. I checked main...

Hi, water was getting in through broken sunroof drains that I repaired and after removing interior roof are both still OK, maybe there is a leak on windscreen which I'll investigate further.

Hello again, I got a s/hand internal fuse board today, I disconnected the original and removed the plastic cover to examine the printed circuit boards, sure enough there was corrosion on two of the bottom plug connectors. It was a releif in a way to see something actually faulty. I fitted...

Thanks for the input guys, I had previously disconnected the internal movement sensor but it made no difference, all the door and bonnet switches tested good on the diagnostics, although I will try linking out the bonnet switch for good measure. As all this started after the massive dowpour we...

Hello I'm Steve living in Hartlepool North East. I've owned my disco 2 for coming up 3 years. The alarm started randomly going off whilst parked on the driveway about 6 weeks ago, had it on diagnostics and it pointed to the ignition switch, got quoted £270.00 to replace!! As the central...

Hi Guys. I'm having similar problems on a 02 Disco, disconnected volumetric sensor and it seemed ok for a while, now back to going into alarm randomly, having to lock doors with dash switch and drivers door key any advice? regards Steve
