    ASHTRAY AND COIN HOLDER SPRINGS - AVAILABLE??

    The coin holder and ashtray on my Disco 2 don't pop out any more and on investigating the springs that should be fixed to the unit they sit in have broken off and disappeared somewhere in the back of the dashboard area – it would be a major task to pull everything out to try and retrieve them...

    AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR TICK-TOCK NOISE

    That makes sense now - thanks! I will see about getting the ECU reset :)

    AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR TICK-TOCK NOISE

    Yes, thanks, that makes sense though the fuse removed is clearly air suspension as it has that symbol on the fuse board cover, so how the compressor can have any power is strange.i will run the engine today and see if the same tick noise still there. I'm going to contact a local independent LR...

    AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR TICK-TOCK NOISE

    Don't believe is the battery, checked it out with a tester, 90% fit Point is the fuse for the air suspension is removed, so how can it be attempting to self level, operate?

    AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR TICK-TOCK NOISE

    Someone answering this question properly deserves a prize! Bought a 2002 Discovery 2 yesterday, previous owner had converted it from air to coil springs at the rear and simply removed the fuse appropriate to the air suspension rather than having the ECU reprogrammed to 'spring'. Drives...

    NANOCOM EVOLUTION 13??

    Whhops! Disco 2, though the reference to air to spring and ACC probably gave that away :)

    NANOCOM EVOLUTION 13??

    Hi all, this question has probably been asked many times so sorry if I'm repeating it but I like to absolutely confirm which NANOCOM diagnostic tool will allow me to reset suspension from air to coil after a refit and also generally be used for items such as bleeding the ABS – as well as course...

    TIMING BELT CHANGE - TIME OR MILES?

    Looking to buy a 1994 Disco which has around 80,000 miles on the clock and has basically been very low use vehicle for many years. 300 TDI with receipt to show that the timing belt was changed in 2002 at around 60,000 miles, so on a mileage basis it shouldn't need changing now but is now 10...

    DEFENDER EX MOD PRICES - HOW MUCH!!

    Looking for my next Land Rover as I am selling my D90 and having always had a fondness for ex-military (owned two lightweights in the past) thought I might look into getting a 90 or 110 ex military. So I have been looking around and saw Witham Specialist Vehicles have a few, oddly they also seem...

    ENGINE PRE HEATER

    I am thinking of fitting an engine pre-heater before the weather turns really cold in my TD5 but I don't want to go through the process of removing a core plug to fit a block heater. From what I understand the heated pad type ones that you fit to your oil sump are pretty ineffective but I have...

    LED replacement bulbs for interior lights

    I have looked on the forums for anybody who has replaced the standard dull bulbs in the interior lights of the Defender with LED bulbs? Seems to be plenty on offer on eBay and other sites but do they actually offer much better lighting? Be pleased to hear from anyone who has swapped them and if...

    DEFENDER DEFENDER TRACKER

    Anyone got any experience of the Defender Defender tracker from the outfit in Gloucester? It seems reasonably priced, £195, and the annual subscription fee isn't too excessive. Full tracking capability from your phone and the ability to cut the ignition from your phone, set a geo-fence that...

    Hawk Car Alarm - Anyone Got One?

    I have been looking to improve my Defender 2001 TD5 security and have a pedal lock, removable steering wheel etc but I am very aware that these vehicles were under threat from people who just want to take parts. The current Land Rover alarm fitted doesn't have any motion sensors as far as I am...

    EXPENSIVE BRAKE PIPE!! ALTERNATIVES?

    Thanks for all the responses, and Kevstar for offering to make one - I took the Ebay route and a fellow called Greg seems to know his stuff and is making one for me. I think some of the pre-made on Ebay would fit but the difference in price for the later ones made me cautious and wonder if...

    EXPENSIVE BRAKE PIPE!! ALTERNATIVES?

    Took the brake calipers off my 2001 Def 90 yesterday and as expected a short copper link pipe between the flexible hose and the caliper broke as the fitting was turned, one on the left side is steel and was fine. I went online to buy a new one today and whilst they are typically around £6 to £8...

    Defender TD5 swivel suddenly leaks oil

    Excellent responses, thanks! Yes, that makes sense, sounds like the seals are fine then, that's quite a relief, didn't fancy another job
