    Sidelights not working front/rear

    Hoping that would be it, as I do have a leak that appears on the front left headlining when parked in the wrong direction. Unfortunately it appears good as new behind both footwell panels, with no sign of corrosion. I assume the place to check (mine being RH drive) was the drivers side as I saw...

    Sidelights not working front/rear

    taped up each individual wire & taped them together so theyre not shorting out on each other. It is still blowing the fuse though, also rear number plate bubls have gone so need to replace these, but sould that cause it to blow with both number plate lights gone ?

    So, where is next to check the cause of fuse F11 keep popping ? is it connected to my trailer socket wiring as this hasnt been rewired in after having the bumper off whilst protecting the chassis. Dan.

    Ok Ill check fuse F11 again, sure it had continuity. Edit it is fuse F11, it has popped it when I switched the side lights on after fitting a fresh 10 amp fuse. dAN.

    Sidelights not working front/rear

    the rear bulb holder is sealed, but checking the contacts again with bulb removed I got 11.8v, without the engine running. On the front the reading was most likely wrong, as I was trying to juggle the bulb holder and meter, but this time I got my partner to hold the bulb holder so I could check...

    Sidelights not working front/rear

    Hi my sidelights stopped working on the way to mot on nearside. It`s a discovery 2 td5. Ive replaced the fuses F10 OR 11 & checked the bulb holders for power (got 21v on front sidelight & just under 12 for the rear if that sounds right) & the bulbd work ok when putting power to them off a spare...

    Disco 2 remapped TD5 clutch

    Could well be the release bearing that's noisy. I had the same symptoms as you with the box & it got worse & became really hard to select gears. I bit the bullet & replaced everything when I got a recon box off the bay. I changed the DMF for a standard Valeo, as well as the clutch. I also got...

    Key programming td5

    That`s what I did. Can`t recall the company name, but when I lost my main key I found out the spare unlocked the door but didn't do the ignition. I got the barrel changed by a locksmith (yes I know it`s easy but ins company needed proof for my keycare cover) & bought 2 blank keys, with 2...

    Breaking Disco TD5

    Do you have the air canister/pipes from the right of compressor that go to the rear air bags. I melted mine whilst welding as the heat went through the fire blanket. Ive patched them up for the moment with new vacum hose over the top but could do with replacing them. Dan.

    Disco 2 Feel Like I'm Losing The Battle

    Keep the good work up meego. I`m still doing bits to my disco 2 as & when I get time. I quite like looking at these threads. This weekend I`ll be welding the mounting up that the nearside rear sidestep attaches too. Luckily for me that is the only bit that needs welding that I have found. I even...

    Fitting 3rd Row Seats in Discovery TD5

    Can`t really recall having much trouble with it tbh. I think I just loosely put both bolts in & had someone hold the bracket down with a bar whilst I tightened them down, but I may be talking bollocks as it was quite a few years ago. I`m sure I started with the seats and then worked my way up...

    Fitting 3rd Row Seats in Discovery TD5

    I can possibly take pics later if needed. The seats in a disco 2 are forward facing. The holes needed to install the seats are all there from factory behind black foam stuck on, but you will need to tap the holes with a 7/8th tap If I remember correctly when I installed mine. Dan.
