    Disco 2 D2 rear wiper motor on bench

    I have a D2 rear door wiper motor on the bench which I am trying to activate. I have a plug attached to the 3 pin socket with cable tails showing black, red/yellow and green/brown. I can't be sure that this plug is correct but it fits. Therefore, the colours on the car may be different. Pins 2...

    Weight in back of Disco 1

    A very old thread but... We took the back seats out of a Seat Ibiza and got 52 cases of French lager in the back! Steering was very iffy, brakes needed a bit of fore-thought, the wheel arches were rubbing and we lit up the clouds with the headlights whilst struggling up the hill out of Dover...

    Td5 head swap

    I was referring to the jpeg you linked by someone else 7 years ago about their loss of power, which they put down to the wrong injectors.

    Td5 head swap

    If you're still concerned, you have two choices - get a 10p head back on it or get a 15p engine and ECU. My guess is that a 10p head won't improve your power loss. A 15p engine may bring its own problems if used.

    Td5 head swap

    I wouldn't believe that. Not saying it's all wrong but I don't believe you get a loss of 60% performance. You wouldn't get over 40mph like that. There would have been a separate issue for such a loss of power, I think. Or injector clearances not set properly.

    Yes, I laugh when I see someone on eBay selling a "good used cam carrier".

    Need help d2 electrical issue

    Sounds like the caliper is sticking on, setting off the ABS sensor and heating the disc. Or the other way round, heated disc setting off the sensor.

    Td5 head swap

    We had a thread before talking about the differences in cams. It seemed at the end, that the only difference was the part number from early to late models. If you have the rocker cover off and rotate the cam, you will see the part number etched on the front end, looking straight down. Quite hard...

    Strange temp event

    Left hand drive? Are the wires to the temp sensor shorting out somewhere?

    Disco II - TD5: Sunk Cost Phallusy

    Ok, I replied to an earlier post and didn't read all the way through to see that you fixed the water loss.

    Disco II - TD5: Sunk Cost Phallusy

    I had an overheating engine and I did not see a colour change in the sniffer test. However, it was actually a warped block that was leaking the gas. I'm not saying thst your block is also warped but that sniffer test may not be completely reliable. If I were you, I would replace the water pump...

    £15 with post? I'll see if I can do any test on it before sending, see if I can determine which was faulty.

    Disco 2 This is where the Oil Filter is?!

    I'm not so sure that so many POs strip the threads. Isn't it that a steel bolt and aluminium housing corrodes, evectively turning the threads to dust? When you try to take the bolt out, the threads are gone and the PO gets the blame. Si, looks like you're doing that fuel filter up!

    I had this and had no leaks. I never found out for sure what the problem was but I think it was the air valve that diverts air to left and right bags. It sits under the off side front corner. I have now scrapped the vehicle and I have the rear valve if you want it for a few ££. It looks exactly...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) How often are you changing gear/diff oils?

    Yes, they're both done already. I agree that 10 years is way too long for all of this stuff.
