    Disco 2 ecu fault

    Presumably a manual ? if so, probably the spider.. If auto, then you're going to need LR or Bosch specific diagnostics ..

    Disco 1 Galvanised chassis for D1 ...

    Maer have been excellent in answering questions, and sending pictures.. I've been too busy with work to actually push the button on ordering two.. ( one for each D1!!), but we will do so within a few weeks, to fit in with my quiet time in august.. IMHO, SS might not be the best choice for a BH...

    Disco 2 ecu fault

    Great intro!! :rolleyes: :p :D A 300Tdi will be a D1.. ( unless it has been re-bodied to a D2 ). And ... these are a very very long way from OBD compliant, let alone OBD2 :eek: ... We'll be needing a lot more info before we can help ;)

    Brake caliper repainting

    I've used Tractol enamel over Bonda-Primer for years on calipers and suspension components in general, IME it lasts well, and won't break the bank ... :)

    Engine running on after key off/fuel pump electrical feed taken away

    Yes, the Intercooler.. :) A runaway is when a compression ignition engine runs on its own lubricating oil which has found its way into the induction system by "nefarious" means.. When it does happen, causality on a mechanical TD is, commonly/usually from failure of the oil seals in the turbo...

    Engine running on after key off/fuel pump electrical feed taken away

    Chief suspect for me would be crud stopping the solenoid plunger fully seating, and therefore not cutting off the fuel completely when powered down, or possibly a weak spring on the plunger.. IMO, it is also worth checking the turbo hoses post IC for signs of excess oil ... unlikely, but it...

    New front radius arm bushes - recommendations?

    +1 on the SuperPro blue.. My D1 has them all round.. but it works for a living, some quite heavy towing too..which it has tolerated for 6 years, 50K miles, without issue.. SWMBO's D1 on the other hand does not tow, and does not do any hard work.. some motorway miles, but probably half the...

    Summer service + Brakes

    Don't forget the tab washers! - in fact buy more than you need, because.... Probably worth getting a spare nut or two anorl - they are cheap enough.. :)

    Summer service + Brakes

    As post 2 - if they are gonna get mucky, then drilled/grooved will fill with crud - and rust, and you'll need to replace them before they are worn out... Good call provided the caliper bores are in good order - so +1 on post 3, AND you change the brake fluid regularly, to keep the bores in...

    Disco 1 rear mud flaps

    Yes.. it is. And the outside edge of the bracket mounts to the outside edge of the appropriate rear wing... - with the support bracket going to the boot floor.. I'll have pictures, as I have replaced all four on our D1's - but wether I can upload them to this place is another thing entirely - I...
