Hi mate, thanks for the this, Sorry to be so stupid, but it’s connector 4 on the OBD, and then pin 32 on the ECU?

Since installing a thermostat and the engine then running at the correct temperature I thought it was time to pull one of the previously cold/oily plugs (#2 & #3) and have a look. No longer oily, and a smooth pearly grey colour with hints of...

Initial photos, as you can see its in a stack of parts hence the photos. I can get more if required. The transfer box and transfer shifter is not included. Located on the isle of wight but as said i can stick on a pallet. The last pallet i sent...

Yes, I now realise you meant me to pull the air-filter off to get at the back of the SU. Silly-Billy me. ;)

Will these connect to the engine ecu? I'm thinking there's a broken wire somewhere 🤔

Just my luck!!

Yes, welcome to my hell, haha,. I was thinking to pay a mechanic to come over with a more professional reader… but would that help?

@Graculus hasnt been on since January 😔

Hmm, so we could do with finding out which pin on the obd plug connects to to the engine ecu🤔 a more specific diag is definitely needed. Even with a specific diag it's not going to give a result if it can't talk to the ecu🤯

Hello Graculus, Thanks for the offer. Eventually we fitted a hose clamp as you described. I now have corroded ACE pipes, which apparently need replacing. Is this a difficult job? Could I at the same time replace the heater pipes whilst I am on.

Hey everyone, My name is Kris - driving a Discovery 2 - TD5 - 2003 Facelift! Bought the car 1.5 years ago and went through all, long cross member replacement from MAER in Poland- rest sandblasted and coated. getting close to have replaced...

Maybe that goes back to the fact I can’t link to the ECU?

changed fuse and have interior lights, so ruled that out

CPM is an excellent indie. If you ring them they’ll be honest about their competence to do the work. If you want an instant “yes” then try ND 4x4. If you want some other options then perhaps another 90 owner here can help with a local specialist.

Hello all, I have just had a wierd happening on my 1995 Disco 300TDI. Was having probs with the immobiliser and decided to fit a spider bypass purchased from ebay. Fitted ok but the immobiliser is still working!! I'm a bit mystified how this can...

Extracted me lawn mower from the shed today, first time this year. Petrol smelled a bit off, but gave it an extra bit of priming and it fired up first pull of the chord. A grass cutting afternoon ahead ----

me too. EAS works well if it's properly setup & maintained.

What, exactly, fails on the diff? What do you get replaced? The whole casing, or just the innards?

No, I’m rarely in diff lock.

Deffo a taps aff day today its a scorcher. :cool::cool: Hi ho hi ho its off to work eye go..

Logically, if you had pressure issues in the fuel system you'd have a fault code to go with it🤔..

You don’t drive about in difflock all the time? That would find any weak spots in your transmission

Hi All, I'm new to the forum. I recently bought a Series III 1979 land rover which had a V8 conversion done by York Performance in 1991. The engine is registered on the V5 as a 3.9L. I was of the understanding this is a Rover V8 engine but the...

I’m considering a Matt black on mine…

Do you mean I must check pin 87? I'm sorry, but pretty new to everything here

Thanks both, I took the header liner down yesterday, and removed the RF receiver. Its earth contact is grimy so I'm going to clean it up with wire wool first to see if that does any good. If not, I'll buy a new RF receiver.

Hey everyone, Installing the gauge from JustRaceParts on my Disco TD5 2003. Struggling with the instructions i got where to splice it in best, and into which wires. Opened the instrument cluster, my guess was here I should get all I need...

Good question, I don’t think so. I checked there was fuel going to the engine and there seemed to be; and at a high pressure, but honestly that probably means nothing. Might need to get someone in that has a proper professional code reader.

Last night my 2003 Discovery S2 developed a rear ACE pipe leak. Inspection this morning shows the usual pipe corrosion around the area towards the rear anti-roll system at the point it goes over the chassis outrigger clamp, forward of the...

Looking pretty good in that pic, must have been a good underseal [plenty of rubbish ones about] Truck may have been a sales demonstrator or something like that to account for date.
