    bursts of noise from suspension compressor

    I wondered about that with mine as the workshop manual suggests it won't run the compressor with the ignition off but it does seem to on mine just as you leave the car. If you later put stuff in it waits till you run the engine before pumping up as it should. I just put it down to one of those...

    bursts of noise from suspension compressor

    My drive slopes. If I reverse on to it it pumps up like that. If I drive on forwards you hear the air being released instead. Like others have said it quite normal so don't worry about it.

    Discovery 2 TD5 advise please

    Yes it's pretty simple. Couple of screws at the bottom of the binnical by the steering wheel and then lift it up and get a long screwdriver in to pop the catches at the back. Disconnect the switches and remove. The instruments pack then unscrews and there are 2 multi plugs at the back. The...

    Three Amigos and wheel bearings - TD5

    Ah sorry see what you are saying. Yes your right it would come with the sensor as an entire part. Good luck getting to the wedding! I suspect it's not the ECU but the shuttle valve. Which can be repaired. By the way I drove mine without working ABS for months.

    That used to be the case. But they did a service bulletin some time ago making them a replacement item. That pic I posted was from that bulletin. I'm on my phone at the moment not my computer but can upload it if you want it.

    plug lead swap

    On mine I undid the 8 pipes from the 2 x 4 way manifolds that feed into the LPG injectors. I put tape round them and wrote a number on with a sharpie so I knew which was which when it was time to put back together! The manifolds are bolted onto the plenum with the same bolts that bolt the plenum...

    I have changed both front sensors on my car in the last 18 months, and nether of them has anything behind it.... The sensor fits directly into the front hub. Not done the rear ones, but doubt they are very different. The only possible thing I can think of behind the sensor might be one of the...

    TD5 7-seater Coil spring conversion and towing?

    Well there you go then 2.5T, I guess it will be very similar to my experience then. Also as has been pointed out somewhere recently coils on a 7 seated break type approval so technically they are a no no anyway.

    plug lead swap

    It was only 8k miles ago I put them on so a bit early to say. Mind you the Britpart ones failed after 3k so there you go. When I spoke to the Landrover main dealer they tried to sell me magnecor as did the Indi. So I bought them direct. Figured as I was doing the lot I might as well fit and...

    plug lead swap

    I have done it twice. First the by the book including removing the LPG bits to do it. Unfortunately I had a bad lead and problems again after 2 months. I had a mix of britpart and some other ones. Managed to swap out the leads that time without removing anything. You need a big or slightly bent...

    How much is LPG in your area?

    Filled up at 68p a Litre yesterday at Andy's Gas at Cribbs Causeway in Bristol. My Countrywide account works out at 77p, so a good saving there.

    D2 suspension clicking

    Where about's are you?

    lpg

    Disconnect the solenoids, and put 12V across them. You should hear a good loud click / clunk type noise if they open. I would imagine if you have the software the gas ECU should tell you what the fault is. You can generally get the software as a download, and the leads are pretty cheap on ebay...

    TD5 7-seater Coil spring conversion and towing?

    When I got my D2 (7 seats) it had been converted to coils, and I used it a few times for work towing our 12' & 14' Trailers. The 14' generally coming in at around 2.5T, not sure how much a horse weighs, but I imagine a couple with the box can't be more than about 1.5T ? The issue I had was it...

    As far as I was aware there are only ABS sensors, so not sure what they mean when they said a TC sensor as well as replacing the ABS one. Did they elaborate? Or have I completely missed something and am just being stupid?

    Stopped by the police!

    There used to be scheme in our area where you put a sticker in the rear window and if a police car saw you out after 9 with it they would pull you to do an ID check. The difficult to remove sticker being a deterrent to a thief I guess as well as an invite to the police to stop you.

    series 2 alarm troubles !!!

    Not yet, like I said its something that I have never quite got round to, but that does sound like a good idea. You can read the status of the door inputs, so will read the bonnet whilst I open and close it to see what it says, But first its gearbox, transfer box & both Diffs to change the...

    sagging rear step

    Thats a much better price! I knew somebody must do a generic strut that would fit rather than having to use one with a LR part number :) Thanks Ben

    sagging rear step

    I have been thinking of replacing mine as it failed a few months ago, been looking for a cheap one. The part for the D2 is KVL100040 and the cheapest I found a new one for was £28.85 from shardlow4x4parts although that might have changed now with vat going up. Going to keep looking...
