Message received! Will look in to getting ACE refurbished as part of the project. Was quoted something scary for this about 6 months ago (over £1000) but will check again.

Thanks sierrafery. Will get the gearbox oil changed when I get the other work done and will def go for a remap. I should correct my earleir post - I had the power steering box replaced not the pump (or maybe the pump as well I cant remember). Does that make any difference to the diagnosis and...

Replaced mine a few years ago and I had to do a lot of fettling in order to get them on because everything that they are supposed to connect to was also rotted away. Turned a 1 hr job in to an all day fight as I had to fabricate some extra brackets, mounting plates etc etc. All part of the fun!

Hi folks, I have an old TD5 2003 plate Disco 2 that has been a workhorse for a number of years. It is still in decent condition and coming up on 100k miles now. I think the time has come to have a play with it and add on some nice (but reasonably priced) upgrades. It used to have ACE (on...

1). No hubs replaced since I have owned the car (4 yrs) 2). Issue has been there since I owned the car

Thanks for this. I had a look at this thread - and have to admit that I was still left a little confused but the fog is certainly lifting a bit!. Am I right in thinking that the TC system works using the ABS system, which kicks in when the ECU sees different speeds between the wheels? So if the...

I have got General Grabber AT2 tyres which have tons of tread left on them so hopefully they are not the cause. In terms of engine power, well the engine has been poorly for a while anyway (currently at the fixers for new MAF, fuel pump, decat exhaust and EGR removal) but when the TC cuts in I...

Does your car have ACE? (Active Cornering Enhancement). I have that on mine (and springs) and it is good for improving the cornering because the system effectively counteracts the lean using a hydraulic system. The problem comes when you go down a pot holed road because every time you hit a hole...

Resurrecting this thread because I have this issue as well I think - although it is the near side front that always seems to have the power cut to it. If I drive through even the slightest bit of mud the TC cuts in and I lose power. Is there anything obvious that I should be looking for? Could...

Bankz - awesome, thanks for this really useful info. Sounds like Dynachip is the way to go if he is willing to come to me up in Scotland. I'm not after stupid power or torque, coz let's face it, it's not like the car will ever really handle it without a lot of other mods to the suspension etc...

Thanks Meego, Carluke is certainly close enough to make the journey worthwhile. I found a website for Quantum tuning in Carluke - are these they guys you were talking about? Looks good but one thing stands out - the power and torque gains they say they can achieve are pretty modest (120 to 140...

Thanks guys, sounds ideal. Once I get the Disco back, and assuming that no other major issues are diagnosed, I'll give Dynachip a call to arrange a visit. H

Hi folks, It's been a long time since I last posted on here but I still have my trusty (well fairly trusty and not too rusty) Disco 2. I recently decided to give the old thing a bit of a make over and at the moment it is in for a de-catted exhaust system, a new MAF sensor, EGR removal and if...

Thanks for the reply, and for the Welcome! I have been having a good look at previous posts via the search function but have not really found the answers to my questions yet. Plenty of posts about air suspension failure and quite a bit on lift kits, but nothing that helps me understand if my...

Hi guys and girls, First post for I'll start with saying "Hi" to everyone. Looks like a great forum. Very quick question for all you experts out there if I may. I recently bought a 2003 Disco 2 (5 seater) with standard spring suspension (as opposed to the air bag set up) and the Active...
