    Disco 3 (LR3) Hazards of Death, HDC, Transmission, Special Programs, Parking Brake

    Thanks folks - I have ordered an IID Tool today and will head over to D3 later today. I'll also get a new battery in case 36 hours of charging doesn't work - will find out if this is the case tomorrow!

    Thanks folks. Is the D3 forum disco3.co.uk? I'll order an IID tool today. Should I get another battery? I'm hoping (hoping) that an overnight charge will replace what was lost. As for the type, they are called H7 over here, with 850 CCA.

    Thank you - I heard good things about Gap too, and will be investing in one. Is there a part model of IID tool that is generally recommended?

    Other threads indicate that the high temp gauge is a sign of a CANBUS problem between the IP and PCM. I'm assuming IP = Instrument Panel?

    Hi folks. I have just privately bought an '05 4.4L V8 Disco 3 here in Canadaland, and it's giving me grief already. Typical! It was shipped to Nova Scotia from Ottawa on a transporter, and seemingly drove fine before and during transportation. Yesterday, which is the first time I've seen the...

    Lovely! In case you haven't already done so, have a think about whether an AGM battery is for you. There are some good articles and videos that discuss the merits of AGM - deep cycling is not one of them and it takes a long time to get them back up to capacity. It does depend on how long you...

    Yours appears to have extra supports for the tub compared to mine, forward of the rails.

    The long tub supports look a bit odd compared to my 300tdi chassis. Being a 300, it wouldn't have the sliding td5 tub rail at the rear.

    Mid crossmember replacement 110 TD5

    I think the idea is to slide the crossmember in from one side to the other.

    ...unless they are the brackets that the crossmember is supposed to bolt onto, and have been chopped off?

    Here's a photo of my 110. Doesn't look like those brackets have any impact to what you are doing.

    Sting Ray's '89 90 - Complete Restoration

    Thanks, Neilly. I was wondering whether there is much benefit in having the interior lights hooked up to the leisure battery, or whether it would be easier to use battery operated LED units. The significant majority, if not all of the accessories will be powered by a separate board, with it's...

    Sting Ray's '89 90 - Complete Restoration

    My life at the moment: The original 1989 19J loom is at the top, and a 300tdi loom from a '96 Defender is at the bottom. The 300tdi loom will be used as the base as it's closer to what I'll be finishing with, which will be wrapped in loom tape. All the crap has been taken off both of them...
