I remember reading that gl5 eats brass and is therefor not suitable for use in the diffs. I just checked the comma oils website and it says use gl5 for diffs and not the transfer. So what do you use gl4 for all or a mix gl4 transfer and gl5 diffs? cheers people James

Well thought i'd try sticking another rocker set in the truck to see if that made a difference to the supect rear rocker. So i went scrap yard hunting and after failing to find any 300 tdis decided to borrow the rockers from my defender. Great idea but a massive failure opened up the lid on mine...

Ok a friend bought a disco the other day then rang me up saying its sounds really tappety. So i said i'd have a gander. Pulled the lid off to find the rocker closest to the bulkhead loose and the shim off the top of the valve stem missing. Little bit of fishing to find the shim and i thought...

thank you very much - must be why i kept getting a stall condition after starting got the pipes reversed cheers guys :)

On the disco 2 fuel pressure regulator is the 6mm pipe the inlet from the tank pump and the return the 8mm line which runs through the fuel cooler or is it the other way round? Many thanks James

A friend has an early disco 2 with coil spings there are bearmach blue hd springs and monroe shocks fitted all round but the truck seems lower on the drivers rear corner. Are the bearmach springs for the rear sided like the terrafirma one and its possible they are fitted on the wrong side...

Think i may have cracked it now tested the loom at and injector continuity at the ecu plug and found no problems then went to scope the ecu output but my cheapo laptop scope gave up the ghost so i dug the old injector loom out of the bin and extended the wiring so i could swap plugs 1 and 2. Ran...

Just borrowed a t4 landrover diagnostic tester (omitec) which i think is exactly the same as a hawkeye before rebranding and the only fault its showing is Fault 3192 : Injector 2 peak charge short logged. Same fault with to different testers now and this one is land rover branded! Does...

Ok that has made very little difference apart from there is no weeping from the fuel pressure regulator now. I decided to go deeper on the codes and started doing actuation tests and injector no 2 the one with the code flagged makes considerably less of a click when actuated in comparison to all...

thanks for the info the regulator and injector loom arrived last night so i'll give them a whirl and see if i get rid of any codes if that fails then i'll have to check out the timing chain but would that not flag crank sensor problems?

Removed the inlet manifold egr valve and cleaned and checked operation valve is definately shut at idle so shouldn't cause this. I have ordered an injector loom due to the oil ingress at injector plugs and a new pressure regulator and filter/gaskets because the regulator was weeping at the...

Hi guys a friend of mine has a 1998 disco td5 which just recently developed a poor idle missfire and underpowered when driving. My carman scan wouldn't connect so i borrowed a friends autodiagnos and got 5 codes 2 were for air conditioning which is not fitted to the car so i'm not including...

plan to fit 265's on 7 x 16 modulars at the mo so should have no problems. cheers for the info

A friends 90 custom build is making a wierd noise but only when you turn left and not all the time. The wheel can be put to full right hand lock and when turned back makes a noise at some points that is a slightly grinding duck quack? great description eh? I greased the steering ujs on the...

so basically just give it a go and see what happens. just out of interest whats the verdict on the propshaft spacers are they a good or bad idea? So if i were to fit larger wheels and tyres what size and wheel offset would you recommend to reduce steering worries?

aren't some double cardan props supplied with output flanges so you just change the flange and seals rather than tranfer box/ drive couplings???

I have purchased a 2" Lift kit with shocks springs new turret rings and extended brake lines. I also have a full poly bush kit to fit at the same time, From what i have been reading it is quite likely that this lift is gonna wreck my prop uj's and balls up my steering geometry. I read that...

can the hubs be swapped as i can't find a salisbury rear axle with disc brake hubs locally and i have these useless disco bits laying around. To sort the welded hub it will need to be cut and replaced.

Thanks for the info guys the parts i had budgeted for where springs, shocks, turret rings and extended brake lines and a full polybush. I already have the larger wheels and tyres but haven't fitted them. If i have any problems the cranked arms and prop extensions can be bought at a later date...

Gonna lift the defender when i rebuild all the suspension, axles etc. Obvious things needed for the lift are Shocks, springs , extended brake lines, turret rings. With a 2 inch lift are cranked arms and propshaft spacers needed? Is there anything vitally important i have overlooked? cheers
