Well today while sorting out a brake light issue I tried my luck with the wiper motor. Sprayed all the connectors and attached the earth securely. Everything started to work! Such a relief. Just the park leaving the wipers at 12 o clock but I believe that’s because the crank gear must be in...

Thanks. I had to pick up at end of day so he only had time to look around and change a seal on the transfer box , change transfer oil (rather put some in as there was a bolt missing which let out most of the oil. I may do the atf filter and oil change to see if that sorts the problem.

Although paddocks do a rear half chassis for 900£. Then just need someone competent to fit, probably cost double again. Just don’t think it’s work it.

My intention was to use it as my daily driver and something with a bit more comfort than my 90 but looks like I may have to sell as I don’t need another project.

Well, my local landrover guy checked over my newly acquired d2 and found the rear chassis not to be as good as I thought. It’s gone. Also the wheel arches have gone and been patched and hidden by a lot of sealant. Other than that it’s ok. Bit oily but that’s it. So sadly I dont think I will...

I know I know. I worry I will need a rebuild of transmission at this rate

Thanks yes. I’ve been reading in here about it. Definitely not a one treatment solution. I agree with filter, have that on order it’s only about £15. Good tip. I have also noticed that the stick doesn’t allow me to shift into “1” place which although isn’t used much is a concenr.

That sounds interesting. I will need to make peace with my wiring at some stage and blade fuses do sound easier to get on with.

Well good news - temp has been consistently good since new pipe and thermostat. I carried out an oil and filters change this weekend. Not too bad although the sump nut was very hard to undo. certainly not much headroom under the d2 compared to my 90! bad news is in the last few days I have...

Would I connect the positive to point 3 and the negative to point 1 or 2 in test diagram 1? Would I need to earth it as well? still trying to trace the fault.

the fuse is just on the usual headlight holder and they are fairly basic lights. No spotlights or anything of that kind.

Thanks that is helpful. They just have had some other extras before as I don’t understand the need for a 35a fuse. Surely would have been a better precaution to have a lower one in case of shorts. I have looked at some threads about conversions and it fills me with dread! I do however need to...

Yes looked simple to me as all fuses are rated on the lid however people on here and elsewhere have said that the fuse rating on the lid isn’t the blow rating of the fuse. hopefully that’s wrong and I am making a lot more of this than needed. To my mind what’s the point of listing it on the...

Hi Following on from my broken wiper motor and today I noticed my brake lights aren’t working (probably never have I guess from state of brake switch) I have been going through my glass fuses. I have seen a number of conversations about continuous amps and blowing amp limits but nothing so...

Thanks. I think I will change it. The service schedule says it should be done every 2 years/24k. Fingers crossed.

Thanks. I will concentrate on other pressing issues first then.

Hi Having sorted out the thermostat issues with my recently purchased D2 I can now move on to looking at servicing. She has done 164k miles so far. the history is very patchy and looks to be a diy job mainly so not many invoices. I was going to add changing the atf and filter to my list but...

I was waiting for that!

Fuel cooler hose finally arrived today. So put all hoses back on and refilled with coolant. So good to be able to drive again! slight gurgling from heating matrix I think but think that’s a bleeding issue.

Thank you. Yes, from memory mine never had intermittent. It was just slow, fast (ish) and single wipe. nothing else has been changed or damaged aside from fuse which looked like it had been blown for a while and rusted. I will connect some wires as suggested. On my search I found a diagram...
