    Why does me D2 do that then?

    Acording to the owners manual you need to select 'N' when you are stopped at lights or for long periods. It gives better fuel economy and puts less strain on the box and brakes.

    Discovery 2 Power Steering

    I think its all normal enough. The fluid will slosh back to the tank. if you took the cap off it it would look frothy. I think its just it being circulated in and out of the steering system.....

    Coil Conversion

    Well thats it, coils fitted in about 1.5 hours. Easiest job I ever done. To be honest it has really stiffened the whole truck up. It has made driving a lot more enjoyable, no more excessive body roll on corners or roundabouts. Would recommend it to anyone. Whole kit was £100, and fitted in no...

    Coil Conversion

    This is something that has puzzled me. Is it only Land Rovers that are not type 7 approved on coils? I ask this because all the other manufactures are on coils with their 7 seaters, the likes of Ford, Vauxhall and VW are all coil sprung 7 seaters. The guy I spoke to about the springs has told me...

    Coil Conversion

    Hi all, after seeing my disco laying on her arse this morning I took her over to my local 4x4 centre. He specialises in Land Rovers, he hooked it up the the diagnostics and it turned up 13 faults on the suspension :eek:. The compressor had over run due to another fault and had burned out. Brand...

    Self Leveling Mystery

    I have spent more time than enough under the truck with my bottle of soapy water. I couldn't find any leaks even with the bags fully inflated in ORM.

    Self Leveling Mystery

    Seems you were right m8, compressor is feked. Makes you wonder what Land Rover are at, there was a new compressor unit fitted 14 months ago ( Genuine Part ). Well no point in wallowing in it. Is there anything else would cause the compressor to over run. From what I have been told the compressor...

    Self Leveling Mystery

    OK now I need urgent help please. Went out to the disco yesterday and I noticed it was sitting a little low at the back. So I went to the shop to take it a run, when I came back home she was still sitting at the same height. Tried the ORM button on the dash to see if it would rise up. The light...

    Disco fuel filler cap

    The cap may not have locked ( nor does mine ), but it did screw in to form a tight seal on the top of the neck. A locking fuel flap will not stop fuel spilling out of the neck.

    Disco fuel filler cap

    The idea of a locking cap is not to stop people stealing the fuel but to stop the fuel coming out while cornering. For MOT your fuel cap MUST seal tight. Push in caps dont do this an it's an MOT failure. The slighted more expensive caps with the turn disc in the middle will seal down tight on...

    Disco fuel filler cap

    The push in type filler cap wont pass MOT, it needs to be the one with the locking disc in the middle. Looks the same as the cheap crappy one except it has a bit that turns to lock it down tight.

    Self Leveling Mystery

    Hi all, I have yet another question about my air suspension. Firstly I parked the Disco on the curb outside the house on Wednesday night. It never moved again untill first thing Monday morning when i took the girls to school. I headed down the street and out onto the main road, all at around...

    Series 3 ignition lead order?

    Firing order is 1.3.4.2. Remove the dizzy cap when you have the crank set at TDC. Check and make sure No.1 cylinder is on compression. Where ever the rotar arm is pointing is No.1. Remember where the arm is pointing and refit the dizzy cap. The HT lead connection on top of the Dizzy below the...

    suspention lift

    Okay here goes, this could possibly be the stupidest thing ever posted. I was out working at my 109 there earlier on and was just looking at the axles. Why can the axle not be dropped out and mounted under the spring? From what I can see it's a matter of rewelding mounting plates to the opposite...

    suspention lift

    The rear suspension on the SIII is really easy to lift. I found this rather simple link while surfing for something else. The front is another story, a lot of work for very little gain. As has ben said before no matter how high you lift the chassis the diffs are still always in the same place...
