I've had a couple fail on mine as well, I think they break internally as mine had no continuity when put on a mm.

The drains end at the bottom of the A pillar (or thereabouts) so the side steps shouldn't be an issue unless mud/silt is blocking the bottom of the pillars.

I would have thought if the seal was leaking it should drop into the frame & then drain through the tubes, it's when they leak between the frame & roof itself it finds its way onto the headlining (amongst many other ways of course) !

Yeah the glue won't stick to the degraded foam.

As above but you could also try adjusting the striker on the 'C' pillar if you have no luck.

I haven't watched the video yet but I was impressed with the std D3/4s I saw going through the 'mud run' at Billing the other weekend, did anyone else see the Ineos get stuck ?

Hi, is it a manual or auto ? If it's auto the torque converter can be a limiting factor for more torque.

Hi, welcome to the asylum. Could be worth popping over to the 'introduce yourself' section :). Has it got the 10P (EU2) or 15P (EU3)engine ? Someone must have added the coolant level sensor as these weren't std on D2's.

Hi, yes you can buy the new cases with microswitches, just a fiddly job soldering those microswitches onto the board,best of luck.

Hi,if the discs are grooved/scoured/warped/cracked or down to there minimum thickness then yes they (the discs) will need replacing (even if one is as I described then you must replace both, if they are still smooth on both sides & are not down to the service limits or warped/cracked then they...

Hi all, after my g/box rebuild (reverse band). Plugged in my Foxwell (with it in the auto transmission mode) to go through the oil level check procedure as per Rave. When the oil temp when reading 35-40 degrees I cycled through the gears a couple of times then checked the level but the reading...

Hi, yeah they are torx bolts in the D2 & FL1. I should try the part no AFU4180 I gave you someone might have them in stock. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235299792860 A link for them & they look like 8mm, bit expensive seeing as you can get 3 from LR for £1.65 !

Hi, I've just had a quick butchers at my FL1 & D2 tie down rings but the carpet is glued over them & it's pis#ing down. According to the parts list it's the same as D1/2, FL1 & Defenders p/no AFU4180 the grand sum of 55 pence each ! If you can hang on a couple of days I'm going to take some...

Hi, not strictly necessary to get a new filler plug if the old one comes out & looks ok, I've had mine over seven years now & changed the IRD oil yearly & because it's torqued up (to the correct torque) it's never a problem & it could well be the original plug (MY2004 with over 180,000 miles on...

WARNING, when checking the IRD oil, which basically means draining it to check for swarf/shiny particles, make sure you remove the fill/level plug FIRST (before the drain plug). Otherwise if you drain first then the fill/level plug rounds off (as it's made of chocolate) you won't be able to...

Hi,what I found on mine was the glass to frame seals were ok it was the frame to roof where 'one' of the water ingress problems were. If you do take the frames out make sure you clean ALL the old stuff off,same goes for the roof itself (I used Sikaflex on mine) & as @frostythor says the gutter...

Hi, if it's the 'bubbling' I'm sure that's just the vulcanising of the joint.

Glad about that, I couldn't see why they would have changed them for the sport.

Hi all, just a quick update on my FL1 'showing D1 on the dash display & the red light illuminated by 1 next to the selector lever' regardless of where the selector lever was positioned. It turned out to indeed be the XYZ switch. I nearly got one from Billing last weekend but it was £100 I then...

Hi,did you ever get your top mounts sorted ?
