Anaconda, when I looked there were no suitable aftermarket cables to connect the pre-amplifier aftermarket radio rca / phono output plugs to the d2s din plugs to the d2s amplifier inputs. The din - din connectors are only suitable for a D2 base model without the separate amplifier. Paul

Those still sound like problems associated with the yoke & selector. I had similar restricted selections before I re-fitted the bush & lever. Did you check the selector rod / fork would move OK before you refitted the gear stick - to make sure it could move OK ? Maybe the missing bits of plastic...

Marc, the steering wheel control wires are in the grey big ISO plug on the D2. Pins 2 & 3. I think all I did was try each of the 2 Xtrons steering wheel control cables, key 1 / no 3 and key 2 / no. 5 with each of the LR cables to see which way round worked. It was then a matter of using the...

Yes. Just be sure that 900mm is enough ! I ended up going with a 1400 mm section & was glad I did when we cut off the rusty section which was remarkably dire even around the damper mountings which you'd imagine were a "high point" on the chassis & therefore not so prone to water staying inside...

I got a second hand spare top hose outlet & just drilled and tapped into the side of the flange to allow a sensor to be fitted. Same end result as the Gore item, but a lot cheaper

Next stop is losing all gears and leaving you stuck somewhere. Leave it a bit longer for the full experience 🤣

The smaller pistons improve the braking balance between front & rear & reduce brake pedal travel a minor amount.

You're not the first it's happened to :) I never found the missing circlip on mine & it's had a few oil changes since it fell in. Fortunately it's never caused any problems.

Firstly, is this about your Discovery 2 ? If not, what vehicle ? Secondly, the discs can't be scored by the caliper pistons - they should not be in contact unless the pads are missing. Are you suggesting that the rear drivers side brake pad has scored the disc ? New pads shouldn't cause any...

Maybe the D2 had more caster as standard than the D1. The D1 axle was RR Classic / Defender based, whereas the D2 changed to the CV type joints. I think most recommendations for the D2 do not include caster correction for 2 inch lift. You can add it, but it will be at the expense of making the...

You won't need 3 degree caster correction on the front with a 2 inch lift. That's only required for 3 inches and more. I've been running a 2inch lift with standard arms on our D2 for the last 10 years & it steers arrow straight on its own - without any self centering steering damper - just the...

Most of the wiring is fairly straight forward - just making sure you match the correct wires up - "simples" ;). The new head unit wiring is all clearly labelled, so you then have to get the wiring diagram for your car set-up (Harmon Kardon is slightly different to Lear I think) & work out the...

A few months ago I fitted an an XTRONS DQS112L head unit with 10" screen Android operating system & Android Auto / Apple car play, Bluetooth, screen mirroring & reversing camera (camera was extra) Definitely not as cheap as some Chinese units. Cost just over £300 in 1 of their relatively...

I had a tablet mount fixed there for a while. Beware it's not as a rigid as you might like. I ended up back with a long windscreen mount, there was less flex and vibration

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try that & see what happens.
