    Saying good bye to the double cab

    Be careful with the 88" sides, the way the door seals fit is slightly different (at least they were when i did a similar thing) Yourll get good money for a dc roof and rear, so you might even find you make a profit from the conversion.

    Disco 2 Air suspension compressor ok but not sending air

    I too am an advocate of air suspension, Ill be converting my 130 to air when i get it back on the road. Going from air suspension to coil springs is like telling your wife "Lets go to Butlins this year"

    Disco 2 Air suspension compressor ok but not sending air

    ive ordered the bits anyhoo. I noted both rear bump stops were missing too so ive got the whole shebang on order. Level sensors were of course already there ;) and tested to be working correctly.

    Disco 2 Air suspension compressor ok but not sending air

    aye id ordered one on the saturday. theres another company doing the same kit for £13.95 now (is it noticable how tight i am?!) ive also ordered a set of schraded valves and fittings so i can manually pump it up in the event of failure. Itll be good to have it on air, they ride so much better...

    Disco 2 Air suspension compressor ok but not sending air

    That was definitely part of it. It’s scyuvating now but it’s unable to get past barely lifted up at all. 60 in the level setting. Perhaps the compressor is knackered and that’s why the previous owner went to a coil conversion

    Disco 2 Air suspension compressor ok but not sending air

    On the nanocom in the stored settings it’s empty? I’ll try making some settings up ( the side which is still on a coil reads 170) so I’ll bang that in and see what happens.

    Disco 2 Air suspension compressor ok but not sending air

    Hey guys I’ve bought an 04 disco for the wife as her old one blew its gearbox. Just converting back to air suspension as it’s been put on coils. I’ve fitted one sides air bag but it won’t inflate. I’ve manually tested the compressor by jumping the relay and it does work. Now the other...

    planar heaters

    I have one of the cheap chinese ones. They are not planar. However it was £120. And chucks out some heat! Needs very little power (as itll work quite happily of a teeny 2000mah £s lipo battery for hours and hours) Yes it arrived and it didnt work. However it was a piece of cake to make it work...

    Wanted front n/s defender chassis - around spring mount onward

    With so many tratters being shoved atop galvanised chassis, theres got to be a glut of slightly fooked chassis lying unloved? Im after the front n.s (ideally 1/4 of a chassis really...) to replace the completely disintegrated one on my 130. Must have at least some metal on it (which is more...

    Disco 2 Td5 maf

    Hey guys n gals I'm having peer issues with the disco td5 - it's always been rather gutless but now it's so bad it's hard to get it much past 55! I've got it on a nanocom evo and it says "air reading" I presume this is for the maf reading? It was zero, I've fitted A brand new maf - still...

    For Sale lt230 tranfer box 1:1.2 ratio - £25

    I have a spare lt230 transfer box which i acquired as part of a job lot of them as it came with some 1.4 boxes that i needed. Rather than have it sat languishing in the workshop, its here for cheap! Totally unknown condition. But there was still oil in it so its not leaking as badly as the one...

    Best location to tow a 110 with an A frame tow system

    Disco 2 watts linkage bolts

    i bought a whole new link rather than mess about replacing the bushes and i knew the bolts werent right but it had to go in as we needed it. But i want to sort it as it drives crap because of it. Basically the rear can shift left and right. Ill have to whip a bolt out and measure everything up.

    Disco 2 watts linkage bolts

    I wonder if the bushes are incorrect ?

    Disco 2 watts linkage bolts

    its those RHD100080 that i had as the replacements mate, but i swear the old bolts that came out were bigger. Theres a good couple of mm clearance between the shoulder of the bolts and the bush, when it should be a pretty close fit. T'aint right :P The m16 is the main central pivot bolt :)

    Disco 2 watts linkage bolts

    I fitted a new watts linkage on the back of the d2 a few months back but had to cut off the old bolts on the 2 outer bushes of the central link. The new ones i ordered were a really loose fit in the watts linkage and its basically banging its tits off and quite wobbly on the rear because of it...
