    The switches are in! Again, sorry about the fingers! The suns always in the wrong place..... Now I’ve just got to remember what I planned to do with this lot.... Also still got to find a way through the bulkhead for these wires and a main live to the auxiliary fuse box I need to fit as...

    Disco 2 Fire Extinguisher

    Thank you both, it was £125 +p&p from ManTec. There’s a link in my signature. It’s easy to fit and the main rack itself can be removed in minutes leaving just a bracket either side. It’s great for keeping frequently carried kit clear of the load area and storing a fire extinguisher....!

    Disco 2 Shock and spring upgrade help needed!

    I’d be very interested in your first hand view of changing back to air springs please. My D2 was changed to coils and I’m seriously thinking about trying to change it back. For those in the know, is there a way to check the system before buying the bags to make sure it’s working? I have a nanocom.

    2 roof tents! Roof rack/bars?

    I’ve recently fitted a Troop 3 rack from Direct 4x4. They do multiple fitting kits for it and I’m sure they’ll do one to suit you. It’s big, that’s for sure!! I wouldn’t be surprised if you could fit two roof tents on it!

    Disco 2 CDL upgrade - Electronics and TC control question

    Is there any way of updating the firmware of a module (without complete replacement)? my D2 premium ES was sold on 1st March so I’m assuming it missed the update mentioned above?

    Disco 2 Help please; Fault code 019

    I’ve no doubt of that!! :eek:o_O I have suspected it to be heat related however it is reassuring the fault disappeared after investigation in the reported area at fault. I’m not that worried about it, I just don’t like lights on my dash. :confused:

    Disco 2 Help please; Fault code 019

    I don’t like it when I ‘fix’ a fault without actually finding a fault.... I had a look around under the seat and thankfully due to the bright yellow sleeve it was easy to spot and follow the wire. I gave it a gentle tug at the plug (secure) and felt along as much of the wire as I could and...

    Disco 2 Help please; Fault code 019

    Thank you @Iancorky that is exactly the kind of suggestions I was hoping for. I’ve only had the truck a couple of months so I don’t know how much use it had before that but it’s certainly feasible. I’ll go and take a look.

    Disco 2 Help please; Fault code 019

    Hi all, hoping someone can help. I had an SRS warning lamp come on a couple of days ago. I don’t know if it’s relevant but the truck had been parked outside in direct sunlight all afternoon at high 20*c/low 30*c temperatures. When I got in and started it, the red SRS warning light came on...

    A quick job today that leads the way to a lot of wiring work. Fitted a Raptor Engineering dash pod with a custom panel cut for 11 carling switches. Excuse the hand in the picture, the sun’s in the wrong position!!o_O Very easy to fit, remove the stereo, and the vent louvres. Put the dash pod...

    defender td5 shuttle valve

    Working on the assumption that they have identified the fault correctly, which is not an unreasonable assumption to make... They will have said that because technically that is the correct option to repair as the actual fault is a couple of electrical connections between the shuttle valve and...

    Thank you!! I was a bit nervous of cutting the wing but just thought “well, it can’t be in the wrong place so best just get on with it!” I’m very happy with how it worked out.

    First things first, have you used a proper diagnostic (such as nanocom etc) unit to read the fault code as there are other causes apart from the shuttle valve. I believe it should be possible to do the “option B” mod without full removal. Try searching option b.

    Another job done today, I’ve cable tied a circle of 25mm black split conduit under the roof rack to keep all my planned wiring tidy. I’ve also fitted amber LED strobes under the back of the roof rack. At present these are temporarily wired (along with the double amber beacon on the front) to...

    Disco 2 Will a re-gas help my air con?

    Just had my D2 regassed at ATS for £35 with a groupon voucher and it’s amazing!! They have an up to date machine that does a vacuum hold test before filling. Mine was fine but only had about 150ml of refrigerant left out of 750ml and it was contaminated. Well worth £35 in my book!!
