The abs light is on on my 300 V8. I keep getting either 2-12 or 2-14 codes. I've completely rebuild the front axle many times. New CV's bearings, bushes, swivels, the lot. I've adjusted the endfloat, . Everything is adjusted to factory spec. I've reseated the sensors. I've replaced the sensors...

No, I've not become an american singist... I've done the exact opposite of what people say I should. I've fitted the soft dash from a RRC, I've fitted twin turbos and now, I've fitted the entire EAS system from a Classic Vogue SE along with the electric memory heated leather seats. I'm...

Hello! Yes, I'm still alive... I decided that after many years of looking the other way, I should really bite the bullet and repair my front inner arches. I stripped it all down, came in the next morning and some orrible little snails had crawled in the engine bay! Has anyone got an...

I'll start by saying I think I know what's wrong, but.... I went to get in my disco one morning and the plipper wouldnt work, but as it happens, she was unlocked so I managed to get in her. It is the older single button system wiithout a spider I turned the key, the dash lit up, but all I...

Hi guys, I've got a 2004 L322 in with an air suspension problem that I'm struggling with. It comes up with the "air suspension inactive" message on the dash and nothing works. It has been to at least one other garage that have just tried the "replace stuff till it works" method. the codes I...

Hi guys, I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who's disco has had the headlights stolen last night in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire. It's bad enough for any of us when our vehicles are vandalised and parts stolen but in this instance it's very serious as the owner is an Emergency First...

If anyone suggests I do a search, I shall introduce them to a red hot poker. My SRS light is on permanently on my early 300v8 ES Disco. It has a brand new rotary coupler. It is the earlier distributed SRS system. Does anyone have access to the necessary equipment to investigate the...

...... No not to buy one but rather I've been ogling the interior - it just looks that bit more plush and doesn't have the stupidly placed switches either side of the speedo. I wonder if anyone has fitted a softdash interior into a disco? I can't help wondering just how hard it would be...

I've done searches but not been able to find a definate answer to my problem. My ABS has a nasty habit of cutting in when the wheels aren't locking or in danger of locking. i.e. you press the brake pedal lightly to slow the vehicle and the ABS cuts in, you get vibration through the pedal...

I realise this question may have been asked before, but does anyone know if a Discovery 2 windscreen will fit in an early 300 disco? I know there are quite a few differences with the very first 300 series discos - seat subframes etc but are they the same windscreen as the later 300? Mine is a...

I've stuck a 4.6 Gems in my D1 manual. I've got her running but she's not firing on all 8 all the time and she's overfuelling a lot. With my Scantool I can read that one O2 sensor(possibly trim, the scantool doesn't specify) is pulling -5% whilst the other is adding +15%. Suggests to me that I...

As per the title... I've got an auto box, a transfer box and a diff that need to go to ashcroft. If anyone could take them for me they would have my eternal thanks... and beer.

As per the title, I have a pair of unskimmed 4.6 heads that I've tickled the ports on a bit and I want to raise the compression ratio a bit as 9.35:1 is too low for my tastes. Trouble is, I don't know how far skimming x amount will raise the compression ratio. I know LR's maximum is .5mm but...

I'm rebuilding a 4.6 to drop into my 3.9 300 shape disco, I'm using the GEMS timing cover as I'll be using a programmable ECU and so the p38 oil pump cover etc. I've fitted new oil pump gears and I pulled the pressure relief valves to check the spring length. I am now having trouble getting hold...

I've got the transfer box off my disco and the output seal from the gearbox was leaking - I've taken the old seal out and can't get a new one in as there's a groove on the shaft that turns the seal inside out as you try to fit it. Has anyone got any ideas? I need to get the thing back together...

I've just bitten the bullet and removed the aircon system in it's entirety from my 300V8 as I was fedup with the car overheating due to not being able to clean the mud out from between the rads after offroading. The question is, what should I do with it? Do I keep it for one day when I may...

I'm thinking how to upgrade the braking on my early 300 V8 (single hose per caliper, solid disc) The brakes are borderline at best. I've heard of the RRC having vented disc and I'm sure that IF they could be fitted then they would give better braking at speed due to the increased cooling...

I swapped my alternator ( it was attached to the engine I was swapping) a while back on my serpentine 3.9. The new alternator has a significantly smaller pulley. I'm convinced this is giving an artificially high rpm readout on the rev counter... Why are there 2 sizes of alternator pulley? Am I...

My friend has a D2 that he wants to put a winch on, now I don't know much about the D2's so thought I'd ask people who do.... His is a facelift Td5 that he wants to fit a winch to but he doesn't want to lose his original bumper. He believes he's seen ones where the lower mesh bit in the...
