Just wandering if whether anybody has used waterless coolant, especially with its cooling properties, it's expensive but does it work on the LR cooling systems ?

Ok, so am attempting to remove the air manifold unions and remove the air manifold as i'm repairing rocker cover gaskets and valley gaskets. I've measured the diameter of the nut and it's 27mm, the problem is that getting a spanner of that size will be a challenge. I've looked online and...

Hi all Just a quick question, will an oil leak from the rocker cover gaskes (D2 V8) fail an MOT ? Thanks :D

Hi all Battery has been disconnected for around a month whilst I was working on the D2, the sunroof will now not open, fuses ok, any thoughts ?

Well after buying my D2 V8 and then being told by my local LR specialist it needs more than £2k's worth of work doing I decided, with great support on here to tackle the jobs myself, which included: 1. Front renewal of ACE Ram and torsion bar as bushes were shot - I found a second hand one...

Well, Rave says I have to remove the EGR system from the cylinder head, but i'm buggered on how you're supposed to get a spanner in that space :-/ BTW, does anyone know what the size is ? also i'm assuming its the two big nuts to release ? Any help would be appreciated :D

Ok, so as my D2 is tilted from the front at about 15 deg there is now water gathering towards the rear sunroof. After looking at RAVE as I was thinking about putting new sunroof seals in, the prospect of removing the headlining is one job to many, so I'm thinking about sealing the sun roofs...

Hi Ok, So I got a newish torsion bar for my replacement short arm. My question is that on the long arm there is a bush that is worn and needs replacing. According to the RAVE CD, it says to use a suitable "drift tool". Has anyone replaced this bush and how did they do it? What is a drift...

Hi All Well, i'm progressing well with my D2 V8 work, but I sent my front ACE torsion bar to a local landy specialist to replace the bushes as they were shot, along with he actuator. Anyway.....Got a call today that some thread was shot and it was useless? So went to see them. What was...

Ok, so i'm plucking up the courage to renew my rocker cover gaskets and valley gaskets on my D2 V8 :rolleyes: So, i've reviewed the RAVE CD and it seems ok (ish) my concerns are taking off the alternator, air con compressor and a couple of pulleys associated with the aforementioned. My...

Ok, another job to add to my woes :-/ Opened the rear door to get my tools out y'day and noticed the top of my tool box was wet ? Looked up and there were two wet patches on the roof lining at opposite sides. The disco is currently on front axles tilted at about 25 degrees. I'm guessing...

Ok, so while I wait for my break caliper tool..... I'd thought I'd start on the front ACE actuator renewal after it started playing up showing a red fault on the dash. I was told that the actuator was leaking and that the bushes on the long arm were knocking. I've managed to undo the bolt...

Ok, so I don't have a G clamp or piston compressor, will undoing the bleed nipple on the brake fluid reduce the pressure for more to manually force the piston back or is the G clamp the only way ? Ta !

Ok, so today i'm changing disks and pads all round, got to first wheel, caliper off etc, no probs, come to the screw and its been semi rounded off by the previous owner, so i've attempted to undo it and it wont budge and is rounding off further, i've soaked in WD40 in another attempt shortly...

Will my questions ever end !! :confused: Anyway, tried to operate my cruise control (at 50mph) the light on the switch came on, but no little pic of the motorway came up and of course cruise was inoperative. I've checked the fuses and the other functions that run off the same fuse are...

Hi...Again ! Since i'm receiving great advice on here, I thought i'd ask my next question :D I want to remove the front bumper off my D2 as it's damaged and get repaired, but was wandering if there is a "how to" guide anywhere ? I've got the rave disc but there is very little or nothing at...

I understand that copper grease is used when replacing disk pads - but where is it applied ? Also is there a household detergent that I can use to clean new disks ? Cheers

Hi Just wandering what the minimum lifting capacity of a trolley jack I should use whilst propping up my disco 2 V8 ? Manual says car is 2.25 tonnes so will a two tonne jack be good enough just so I can get it on axle stands ? Cheers !

Hi Ok, so i've got a few jobs on my 02 disco V8 one of which is rocker cover gaskets and intake gasket. I don't mind getting oily, but was wandering how technical the job is ? It looks easy enough but is there anything I should be looking out for or doing when I tackle this job ? Thanks :o
