Mine was gone long time ago - it only travelled half height and it's the only hydraulic jack that I ever had a problem with. Still have it in the garage for posterity though :) Now its space under the bonnet is taken up by several bits and pieces including spare bulbs and a multimeter.

No need for that Stan. You can but a 2T bottle jack and a pair of folding axle stands for a few quid.

May I ask the MY of your D2 ? I have 2 different copies of the electrical library but I'm unable to locate C0483-13 in the circuit diagrams, which is very unusual for RAVE. But there were changes to the wiring looms and colour schemes over time. For instance C0483 used to be 14 pin before they...

The Cct column gives a reference to the circuits associated with the connector's pin or cavity. Don't have RAVE with me right now but there's an entry in the Connectors section that lists these circuits and their reference nos. So for the BG wire on that connector, you need to identify circuit #15

I can only help you with the colour codes, also available in RAVE's Electrical Library -

+1 The DCU uses separate pins & circuits for the airbags and pretensioners so it's virtually impossible to mix things up. A fault on the pretensioner circuit will result in a "Pretensioner Open Circuit" message.

Wheel hubs are probably the only parts I buy from Britpart. They usually last up to 80 tkm and they always came with sensors.

If it helps, there are a few D2 TD5s available in Germany - https://www.theparking.eu/used-cars/land-rover-discovery-td5-germany.html https://www.ooyyo.com/germany/used-land+rover-discovery-for-sale/c=CDA31D7114D3854F111BFE6FBA0E355B33A21D7FD9D489B41608F54EBD/

The Allen bolt should be tightened to 18Nm. Also don't forget the O-ring that acts as a spacer and a seal, which (in theory ??) should be replaced.

^^ this. Here's an instruction video for a TD5 Defender but the principle is the same for D2 -

There a good write up with picture here - https://landroverforums.com/forum/discovery-ii-18/discovery-2-auto-r380-manual-swap-79203/ From what I can see, it's possible but not for the faint hearted :( Best of luck and please keep us in the loop with your progress.

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks guys for the good advice.

Does this mean that the problem could have been avoided if he only did power bleeding ? I'm asking because apart from the modulator, servo and the master cylinder, I did change all braking system components and never had this problem. But I always bled the system electronically.

It's an M8 x 20mm, part #SF108201L

Besides too much torque, most of those retaining screws are ruined because they are mistaken for Phillips. On the head, you will note 4 markings in addition to the main cross which means that it's a Pozidriv screw.

You're very welcome. That's my good deed for the day :D Best of luck my man.

You can search Google by dragging and dropping an image in the Google search box. It seems these wrenches are known only by the patent name : Platinum. Here are a few links - https://atdtools.com/subcategory.php?c=2&s=Wrenches%2C+Ratcheting...

Don't know about ATF but most likely yes. It's been 2 years since I used it for the power steering which ran dry due to a sudden HP pipe rapture and no issues so far. I didn't even have to change the pump.

I have no knowledge of the D4 engine but can't help thinking that something is off here. All the cases of piston slap that I came across build gradually and do not just announce itself with a sudden "loud banging". I am more inclined to say it's a crankshaft failure but wait for other more...
