    D2 front driveshaft seal

    I used these from LRdirect, FTC4822.C8. As above, mine weren’t leaking, I just thought it a good idea to change them when doing the swivel ball joints. That was nearly 5 years ago and so far, all OK.🤞🤞

    Suspension Nightmare Unsolved!

    Probably worth reading this, if you haven’t already: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/disco-ii-air-suspension-%C2%96-the-definitive-guide.171995/ If you have access to a Nanocom it’s worth reading the “live data” from the height sensors - immediately showed one of mine was...

    I’ve got a D2, but always interested in your posts. Always something to learn from you.

    Xyz switch

    It's a 4HP22 transmission. TD5 I'm assuming. The XYZ switch is mounted on the left side of the box about half way down towards the top. If the car has a Cat, it is partially (completely??) obscured by this. Some remove the downpipe/Cat to gain better access.

    Disco 2 MOT fail, front body mount

    I wasn't with it during the test this time, but in the past they have always road tested it with a thingy on the passenger floor. Must just have been coincidence that a huge shove on the brake pedal caused it to fail a mile later.

    Disco 2 Making up rear brake pipes

    Thank you. All the bits except the plastic clips arrived yesterday and I've had a play and made 3 quite good flares. It might not be so easy lying under the truck though!

    It probably is if I can find the bits in time! If not, is a job for better weather. I'm going to put the truck in for MOT again in the summer to avoid ll this lying in a cold wet drive!

    Thank you, yes, I've ordered a set of plastic clips. Jamesmartin always used to add a joiner at that place.

    Disco 2 Making up rear brake pipes

    Just ordered the tool, pipe and fittings from carbuilder. To be doubly sure, I disconnected a fitting on the car and it's a DIN flare. Thanks for everybody's advice, I've now got something to do over Christmas!!

    Thank you. So it’s an SAE flare then?

    Disco 2 Making up rear brake pipes

    Hi All, In another thread I mentioned that the brakes failed returning from the (passed) MOT. Having had a crawl under the car, the O/S rear pipe has rusted through where it goes over the spring, completely hidden from me and the MOT tester, but not from all the muddy crud it was sitting in...

    Disco 2 MOT fail, front body mount

    Weird, the brakes were fine on the way to the MOT, so was the alternator! I’ve used the same garage for MOTs for the last 30 years or so (I used to work next to them), they are about 10 miles from me. A few minutes coming home the pedal felt “different”, then the fluid warning. All will...

    Disco 2 MOT fail, front body mount

    Well, the truck went in for its retest today and passed:):):). Thank you all for all your help and advice. However, that is only half the story. Half way back from the MOT the brakes failed.o_Oo_O The brake warning light came on, reservoir empty. I pedalled it home using the handbrake and a...

    Disco 2 MOT fail, front body mount

    Apologies for the delay in replying, we went away for a couple of days and got back to find someone had dug through our phone cable. It's taken BT nearly 3 weeks to dig enough holes to fix it. The mobile signal is so bad here no chance of getting onto the forum. No, I chickened out and got a...

    Well, I hadn’t expected to start a war(!), but when I can get further with it, either handing to a professional or trusting my own welding, I’ll let you all know.
