That does help a bit, thanks, but if anyone has a photo ? They speak a thousand words ! :)

Hi, could someone post a picture of how the side brackets for the TD5 (preferably facelift if there is a difference) fit under the wing. I'm in the middle of a massive project, just got my disco back from the paintshop and am trying to fit the front bumper, the front mountings are easy and...

No difference in capacity, but a world of difference in implementation. The newer Thor V8 was introduced on the D2, which, while sharing capacity and configuration has an entirely new induction system (commonly known as the bunch of bananas) and a new distributorless ignition and injection...

What parts are you looking for, my missus would love to get some storage space back ! :)

actually all D2 V8s are motronic not GEMS, they are all fitted with the characteristic "bunch of bananas" intake system rather than the more conventional plenum chamber of the GEMS system as used in the P38. All V8s can be extremely reliable if properly maintained, they MUST have their oil...

I removed mine completely and had them re-fabricated in steel, never had any problem since - don't know why Land Rover didn't do that in the first place !

I had a similar problem, in my case, the metal spring had expanded or similar and had come off the top of the plastic post and distorted, I fixed it by removing the spring, reshaping it in a vice the holding it in place with a cap on the post held in with some superglue (it makes sense when you...

Do you know what date the vehicle was first registered, and how many seats it has ? The reason I ask is that government regulations are that all "passenger vehicles" registered on or after 1st August 1994 must be fitted with a catalytic converter. The get out clause is what is considered a...

Yeah it's relatively easy, it needs new side panels, floor fittings, seatbelts and of course the seats themselves. They do often appear on ebay from people converting in the other direction

Agreed for reference, attached is the microfiche that shows all the kit I was talking about

The rear aircon consisted of a blower/evaporator unit that fits in the rear wing where the left hand occasional seat would be if you had a 7-seater, it further has extended coolant pipes from the A/C system in the front, a different headling with 5 outlet vents, ducting that leads up the...

OK, I guess no-one knew the answer. I finally got the answer from Land Rover customer support, so in case anyone else is interested the answer is copolyamide 66/6 with 30% glass fibre reinforcement

No, these actually confirm where I said the ECU is located, in the headlining. The second link is a little misleading, as it shows the location from above, but is correct in terms of where it is. The first link is even more confusing as it does say it is behind a stowage pocket, but you...

There certainly is a sunroof ECU and it is located above the headlining near the rear view mirror. I've never heard of it causing this particular issue, but as it is affecting both sunroofs, that seems like a good place to start

I'm having them chrome plated and the plating firm needs to know what material it is

Thanks for the offer - did you find out anything useful ?

Ok, so this going to seem like a strange question, but I need to know what material the exterior door handles are made from The most likely candidates are ABS or nylon, but I can't any information one way or the other, anyone got any ideas ? Thanks
