    Is the air intake supposed to be covered? Mine is not so was wondering if that could be the reason water got into my new compressor. I'm still stuck in Saudi so can't investigate

    Thank you. There's homebrew if you want it but its s**t. At least if I was still in I would have got home. Being a civvie is not always the best thing :(:(

    Its possible sierrafery but as I'm 3000 miles away I can't really investigate. It'll stay on springs for now. Problem is one of my dogs can't get into it as its too high :) guess I'll look for a little car too

    Another update. New compressor full of water again and broken. I'm still in Saudi so haven't driven it at all. I've converted it to Terrafirm shocks and springs. Hopefully I can get a refund from the seller of the compressor as its not been driven through any puddles or deep water.

    Auto Gear Problems

    Had the same issue with mine. Changed the XYZ switch and everything was back to normal.

    Ok thanks, I'm assuming there are 'teeth' inside it to prevent the tube coming back out?

    The new air bags I have don't have the threaded portion on top. Any ideas how I connect them?

    Thanks for your reply. I have ordered new bags and a new compressor (which was 99 quid off eBay). I'll get that done in the 2 weeks I'm home

    D2 Air compressor

    Afternoon all, My D2 (02 Plate) air compressor stopped working about 4 months ago. The relay was changed with a working relay and still nothing. Its sagging quite badly now. Am I looking at a compressor change or is there something else I can check first? The only snag is that I'm in Saudi...

    Disco 2 Automatic Gear Selector Flashing

    Sounds like your XYZ switch has gone. About £480 for the switch. Mine is in the garage having it replaced right now. Similar symptoms but mine wouldn't go into reverse.

    Help!! No reverse!

    Just out of interest, if you put the truck in neutral and start it it then you can select reverse. The gearbox will be in limp mode thou

    Help!! No reverse!

    Is it a straight swap or is there any 'set-up' to be be done?
  18. Taff814

    Help!! No reverse!

    Thanks Roy. The only garage around here that has capacity to do it before I return to Saudi on Monday have never done them. I’ll cross my fingers.
  19. Taff814

    Help!! No reverse!

    Is changing the XYZ switch a job for me (basic car mechanic) or is it one for a garage?

    Help!! No reverse!

    I’ll have a look at the fuses tomorrow but as the D and 3,2 & 1 gears work I’m thinking the fuses are fine.
