Need to get the multimeter out and see what the volatge is whilst running. The red light just indicates that the battery isn’t receiving sufficient charge, and that can be down to many things. Alternator shagged Battery shagged Wires to battery broken Aux belt slipping Bad earth stopping...

I have had 2 D2 loved both of them, current one is the auto. Chassis corrosion is an issue and now too is body corrosion if models aren’t looked after. Deffo look at purchasing a Hawkeye or nanocom as well, I would be lost without mine. If you are going to look at a disco down my way...

That’s what Land Rover translates into Latin. Wallitus emptyus

I had my disco 6 weeks before the auto box **** itself. Mind you it had spend 200k towing a caravan from the south coast, to Scotland, and a mini digger every day when they weren’t on holiday.

I haven’t needed to change a bag at a roadside yet. I have had 2 snapped springs though. If you open my boot you will find a spare turbo, alternator, aux belts, suspension bags, wiring, spare BCU & ECU. It’s not that my car is unreliable, I just refuse to let it arrive at its destination on...

Plug it in and get the codes read. Could be moisture or corrosion in the switch, changed wiring above gearbox, dirty connection at engine ECU, selector could be miss aligned. These are just a few of the possibilities.

And keep a bag spare in the boot. Can be changed at roadside if needed

I expect the clutch packs have burned out. I paid £900 for supply and fit of a used box from a local LR indie. A local gearbox specialist quoted £1800 plus VAT for box removal, recondition, new TC and re fit etc

****ing in the wind without plugging it in. I get the 3 amigos come up if I’m braking hard and turning left, it’s my front left sensor causing the issue. Lights go out after I turn it off and on again. I will change the wheel bearing at some point

But apart from that, water seems to be the problem, and not even deep stuff, probably only up to my axle, maybe a little deeper

But that’s no fun at all. Come to think of it I did have the battery light come on when I popped up the road the other day, switched her off, when I come to jump back in, the engine would crank but wouldn’t fire. Took a few attempts :/

My end story was a replacement box unfortunately. 200k of towing and no oil changes took its toll

I had this and then a day later lost all drive. Drop some Gearbox oil and have a look at it, should be red in colour. Mine came out black as night

have a little issue with charging system. I went on a p&p day a few weeks back. Towards the end I splashed through a few puddles, batt light came on so I drove home. I had a spare alternator off a working car, and swapped them over. Battery light disappeared for about 100 yards and then back...

You will see the black soot being blown out from the manifold staining the side of the block

Any reader will do, but most of them get confused with the information. Nanocom or Hawkeye best. Where are you based? There may be someone local

I could, however the box I brought off was so knackered I could hardly tell the drop arm from the steering box. I think it had been leaking for a very long time given it’s condition so don’t know if it ever went dry (I was topping up with 100ml a week!) for the warranty I was happy to fork out a...

I was looking at them, but decided I wanted to option to keep my steering box to refurb myself and then one came up to buy outright, plus I couldn’t be bothered with the faf of having to sort out return postage for the old box to go back. Make sure you get 4 new oring a for the power steering...

Re use your drop arm. I replaced my SB a few weekends back, was a few hours work. I think the differences are all to do with internal changes, I was lucky and brought a re con box for £170 outright (no exchange to worry about) Go on eBay and there are a few companies that will point you in...
