Thank you but I’ve had one sat on my living room floor for the last couple of weeks and finally got around to fitting it today!

I’ll be honest, I’ve not got to sorting this yet however my starter solenoid failed, I’ve just had it apart and cleaned up the contacts (I don’t have replacement parts to hand but they are ordered) and the truck is back to starting on the key... I think I may have found a fault that doesn’t...

Thank you for the reply, that’s very helpful. I’ll have a go at that tomorrow and see what the results are and report back.

I appear to have a battery drain issue... circa 1.8-2A. Pulling engine bay fuses I’ve worked out that F13 (BCU) accounts for about 1.6 of the drain and F11 (ABS valve) accounts for the remainder. With both these fuses out the drain is 0.01A which I consider to be reasonable... Obviously the...

I’ve had another couple of work days on the truck this week. I checked the red plug the other day and had oil in it so ordered an injector loom and gasket from JGS 4x4 which arrived promptly as ever with them. So got that job done. Whilst I was at it, I went mad and sprayed the rocker cover body...

P.s. Just a polite pointer, in future, you’re better posting in the discovery section of the forum and tagging it as a D2 post (when you name it) as it will be more likely to be seen by people that know more about your vehicle/problem.

Did you cut the olive off the pipe when changing the airbag? If not you need to get a nice sharp knife and cut a small amount off the pipe as close to 90 degrees straight across the pipe to give a clean end to insert in the hole (oooh Matron!). The other thing is what brand are/is the bag(s)...

I’ve been a little quiet again lately sorry, partly because I’ve not been doing a huge amount of work on my truck but that is about to change! I’m waiting for a whole host of deliveries, the better part of a grand!, revolving around two primary purchases. A Dixon Fabrication front winch bumper...

It very much depends on what will be the main work you’ll be doing. The above soldering stations are great if you’ve got a work bench that you bring your work to and if I had a work bench then I’d grab one in an instant however when working on a vehicle, I can’t imagine it’s that easy with the...

On a side note, I’ve employed a new servant by the name of Alexa and I have to say I’m very impressed so far! It turned out she was one of triplets so I’ve now got her and her sisters (also called Alexa) in my living room, kitchen and bedroom! I’ve also got a couple of smart sockets and a...

Well, had an eventful day last week, self inflicted really... As said previously, I had stuck on temporary ride height sensor brackets made of 0.5mm aluminium with “no more nails” as a way of recommissioning my air suspension to check that it all works... unfortunately the no more nails was...

Had a mate make and weld on ride height sensors on my D2 and replace both air bags. (Original brackets had been removed when chassis was repaired as previous owner had down graded to springs...) now permanently on air!

Finished my latest upgrade to the headlights. The straight row of LED’s at the top is also an animated indicator strip too.

Thank you very much! I wasn’t sure how it would turn out but also didn’t want to buy two more clusters so jumped in with both feet on the ones on my truck! Thankfully it seems to have worked... The projectors are just eBay specials, cost me about £60 for the four plus about a tenner in customs...

Well, I’ve only gone and done it! Projector headlights both dipped and main beam with LED DRL halo rings and an LED DRL/indicator (animated) strip across the top of the cluster too!! It took me about 4 hours per side from start to finish. There’s an issue with one of the switching...

I’m in the process of spraying them body colour. Makes them look a little more modern IMHO. Tho you could just take them off and clean up the existing wings.

When was the brake fluid last changed? They say it should be done every 2 years. serpentine belt would be easy to change whilst you’ve got the fan off to do the thermostat. Rear air bags? Again depending on their age. Should be considered a service part, every 5 years depending on use.

Thank you for your support and compliments guys! :) So far the air suspension is holding up so that is reassuring. I've now sprayed the drivers side wheel arches Epsom Green to match the body. I thought I'd taken a couple of pics but clearly I did something wrong... I'll grab a couple when...

I've also had the passenger side headlight out and taken it apart to wash out the inside. This was a little daunting to start with but a bit of googling gave me confidence to stick it in the oven. I literally set it at as low a temp as it would go, circa 50-75 degrees and set the timer for ten...

Suspension wise, I've also made big (for me) steps forward. Using my nanocom, I tested the compressor and valves as much as I could and all seems well. Following my frustrations in post #109, I fabricated some brackets out of flimsy 0.5mm aluminium sheet to carry the sensors and fitted them in...
