    Diesel on me dipstick !

    15p also has egr cooler at the front. You may detect a crack if you take the rocker cover off, remove injector loom and rocker shaft, then turn the ign to II so it pressurises the fuel rail. You might see the leak. It could be an injector if your lucky. If you see a leak near an injector, swap...

    BFG KO2 at or MAXXIS MT-764 mt

    I have a set of maxxis mt764 and for a mud terrain they are civilised on the road. They are not as good in mud as my Federal Couragias though. But still very good and are on the less aggressive end of the MT spectrum. Personally, if money is no object id get bfg tyres every time. Not because...

    Dodgy drain plug

    Best tool to tighten an oil filter is a marigold glove. Clean oil off the filter then tighten by hand using the glove.

    I need some ace help..

    Noisy pump is not good, and no activity in the tank means you aren’t pumping fluid. Look at the live data when running and report back.

    discovery 2 stereo upgrade

    First of all, the way you are set up now is totally wrong. Your factory amp accepts line level inputs and your sending it an amplified signal. Take an iso harness and a phono lead with rca plugs, and butcher them to connect the rcas to the speaker inputs on the harness. Then use the pre outs on...

    TD5 Low top end

    Check the fuel pump or replace it with the one from your spare vehicle. You can measure the voltage to check it the HP side is working properly, plus they do fill up with sludge. You can measure pressure at the FPR using an oil pressure gauge plumbed into the temp sensor port. You should get...

    D2 Chassis Advice (photos)

    Disco 2 Tyre question

    Id say the grabbers mk2 are very similar to BFG ko2. Ko3 bfg is softer but a great all round tyre. But we have used grabber 3 and ko3 both with no obvious issues and both good on and off road. Our ko3 on several vehicles have done circa 250k with no failures. But they are very expensive. on...

    Wheel arch kit

    What do you want them for? They only help a small amount with mud spray on bigger offsets. But dont do anything to stop tyres rubbing

    Disco 2 Diagnostics

    It was £220 second hand with 2 extra dongles for D3/4 and l322 (no use to me!). It has saved me a lot of garage fees and has been reliable. Id love a nanocom but they were twice the price….

    ACE challenge

    This old chestnut! Its not hard to fix the ACE and it works wonders especially if you have a small lift. But ive no issue with people taking it off either. It is one less thing to go wrong to ditch it, but i like it.
