I can't resist responding to this, some in this thread have put it more delicately, which is clearly not getting through. You driving home after experiencing this issue was incredibly stupid and also illegal. If someone is dumb enough to go around a roundabout on a public road whilst filming...

As to cleaning for the loom and the ECU, isopropyl alcohol is usually pretty easy to obtain (Maplins). It will effectively flush oils and residue from the wires and is also totally non-conductive and fast drying. When I did mine I used first WD40 to thin the oil in the wire and the plug and also...

Firstly hi and welcome! Sorry to hear about your bad luck with your first Disco. The M and S lights coming on like that can be caused by a discharged battery, try charging the battery out of the truck over night and then seeing if the issue disappears. There are other causes (if you do a search...

I take it you have looked under the bonnet for any sign of hoses detached. I would imagine a detached intercooler hose would make for a large wooshing sound. Alternatively, does the Viscous fan feel nice and tight without much play? Sorry to say, but unusual noises should always be worried...

I have chosen (for right or wrong) to do my cavities (on the truck!) and the chassis with Dinitrol. Like you I spent several days reading and reading and ended up going around in circles with all the different advice. My original plan was to grind all the chassis back to bare metal, use a...

Ouch! That work should be reported to the police it is that bad. Good luck and at least you have found the issues now before they get any worse.

It all depends on how well it has been looked after. If regular services have been missed and other faults left to fester it could be very worn, or if looked after it could be fine for many more miles. I would try to find out if it has a decent service history. Although that is not always worth...

Looks pretty good if you ask me.. it needs some treating but doesn't look like more than surface rust at least in those pictures.

Ever since I bought the D2 I was noticing a slight knocking sound whenever I went over rough terrain or bumps. I have checked the bushes throughly all round and all seemed well so have left it whilst doing other jobs. Now the exhaust is fixed, I decided to take another look today. Expecting to...

Any kinds of knocks from steering/suspension/wheels/exhaust. Any whistling from exhaust/inlet manifolds, any tramlining at different speeds (wheels might need balancing or tracking adjusted, or tyres replacing). Any vibration at different speeds. All the things I can think of right now. Good...

I too am trying to locate a bit of rough running, although in my case it is consistent and minor with no smoke. One thing I will say though, it might be worth checking your red ECU plug again. Even after the harness change there was still quite a bit of oil in the loom below which took awhile to...

Solved my middle crossmember bolts crisis. Managed to find a really thin old hacksaw blade which was just able to force it's way gradually between the crossmember and the chassis mounting. Slow work but cut all three offending bolts so now have three clean holes. With middle crossmember...

With the front crossbeam off decided to do a job on my list and replace the sump gasket and the oil pump bolt as precaution against that issue. Sump came out easily and although the oil bolt was reasonable tight it clearly had no thread lock on it. So all in all worth the effort. Also gave the...

Received a shiny new Terrafirma front exhaust downpipe today (decat) to fix my blowing exhaust. So decided to do it this evening. Gave all the bolts a good blast with Plusgas and left it 20 mins for it to work. First step was removing the front crossmember, all bolts came out fine despite heavy...

Good news and a huge relief I should imagine! :-)

You have been singled out! ;-p The real reason is it is because they are your threads, any thread you have read loses the bold print. For everyone else your threads are bold print until we have read them. Same with the chevron.

There may have been enough oil on the parts of the engine to have gotten away with it. What is confusing is surely the oil light should have stayed on from starting it as there would be very little pressure. The sump plug has disappeared? As in it was fitted and has come out? Or was it not...

I have the Hawkeye, very pleased with it, simple to use, although not had the pleasure of using a Nanocom so not sure which is better.

Yes does sound like starter is faulty. Incidentally any improvement in the Hi-Lo stiffness? After changing the transferbox oil and greasing the mechanism to the shift mine has loosened up nicely. I spent a good 20 mins putting it back and forth between Hi and Lo and it gradually got better and...

Heh, I will try explaining to the wife why I need to fill my entire garage with a vast industrial compressor.
