Balls, I’ve been had!!!! They are literally a perfect fit, if it lasts well it’s great value for money. Think it was one of your posts I found while looking for what to buy. Old battery was absolutely fine but this is noticeably more powerful.

I got this, seems to be the same to my untrained eye. https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/powerline/c31-1000/

I don’t want to think about what I’ve spent on mine, quite a bit of it was things I wanted to do like new suspension etc but there’s plenty that needed doing. Everything important was fine when I bought it too! Still plenty left to do to get to where I want it to be, I am hoping it’ll settle...

I just stuck a whole alternator on mine and obviously got the new vac pump with it, seemed to make sense to do it as I plan to keep the car for a while. Have just fitted a 1000cca battery from Tanya that I found recommended on here and it bursts into life in a flash. Old battery was still...

Hasn’t realised a diy fix was possible to be honest. Would have done it myself ages ago if I had! It’s time for it to free up drive space either way. Quite surprised how much interest it’s had. Hopefully someone will be happy with it, as zone said in the ad I haven’t been under it for a while...

Wasn’t there a post about this the other day? From memory wiring was suggested. I do partly recall someone mentioning there is a temperature sensor that would prevent it from shifting up when cold but I can’t be certain of that, might be worth doing some searching about but equally it may not...

Erm a dremel was the main culprit from memory! Took it off to gain some approach angle, kind of wish I hadn’t as in hindsight I didn’t really need it. Classic case of first time off road so I need everything the shops tell me I need to do it.

Exactly what happened when my alternator died.

Do the dash and the lights by the stick say ‘D’? It may be the switch thinking it’s in 3 rather than D.

Ha, it’s a special edition, amongst the last of the 300tdi’s I believe. Thanks, I know everybody says it but I will be sad to see the old girl go, got all nostalgic when it fired up!

I don’t get the obsession with chequer plate to be honest, don’t think it needs any. I’m sure the 33’s are the only reason it’s slow off the mark, they aren’t exactly sprightly on standard wheels and tyres.

I’m never going to get round to fixing it so my D1 is on eBay. Not going to end early as honestly I need it gone and I need the money for the next phase of getting the D2 to where I want it to be. Happy browsing, if you want to know anything give me a shout...

Mine had a tuning box on it, I’m not sure the auto box really understood where the power was coming from but it did go really well. Minus the box it is really slow unless you really ask it then it’s just quite slow!

I’ve just finished doing the crank pulley and fitting a new battery. Naturally now the passengers side electric window has stopped working. Water pump and oil pump bolt next on the list as preventatives. Then there’s various bits like folding mirrors electric seats lazy door lock etc etc. I’m...

Welcome!

Was less than £300 from memory, I know I was pleasantly surprised as I too was expecting to be needing a new box.

Mine dumped buckets of atf everywhere. Turned out to just be a (paper?) seal. Was done at a local transmission specialist that seemed to know the D2’s pretty well. There’s also the cost of replacing it for something that would do the same to consider. D3/D4 and all the RR’s have their issues so...

I’d be more than happy with that!

It’s a shame as the interior is great and other than me scuffing the front wing in Wales it still looks pretty tidy too. I’m hopeful someone will put it back on the road rather than break it.

Diagnostics and a willingness to learn are a big benefit when running a landy. Start with the simple stuff and you may even enjoy it. Think most of us on here take a lot of satisfaction from being able to fix things ourselves. Like you I love the D2, put money aside each month if you can and...
