Looks good! If I decide to make the leap myself I’ll be on to you about this.

Who fitted the clutch and flywheel? I’d be taking it back to them pronto if it was fine before they touched it.

I don’t charge, just for my personal car offered as a favour. I don’t come up that way often

I’m in Thurrock with a TD5 nanocom if you can’t find anyone more local.

I thought toe ones doing 50 were the ones in limp mode

I’m fairly new to the D2 so I couldn’t help much more than suggesting you check the ACE fluid level, if it’s down look for leaks. There are plenty of more knowledgeable people than me on here, maybe try the discovery part of the forum, state the car you have with the year etc and hopefully...

Sounds like the ACE warning light? Is it amber or red? Either way it needs attention.

I probably wouldn’t swap this D2 for another one as it’s a top spec model and I’ve already got it. Would have to be the holy grail of D2’s for me to swap. I have a nanocom so familiar with the need for that, it’s had lots of use already! The D1 whilst fantastically straightforward just doesn’t...

Would love to do this at some point, really love the idea of a complete rebuild, nice to see it being done to a D2.

Fair point well made!!

Welcoming over 15 years after he/she arrived is possibly a touch on the late side

Not driven but had a brief ride in one. Much more refined than the D2 but as you say seemed very different. 4’s and 5’s would require a significant loan which I don’t really want to do. Have already spent way more than the D2 is worth on it but for me it’s more about what it can do than the...

As with any old LR I’m just at the point of do I carry on spending on the D2 or move on. Spent too much money on the wrong things on my D1, D2 has a fair to do list some of which I’ll do anyway. I get sucked in by horror stories of the TDV6, I’d like something I’m not outside fixing every...

All hypothetical at the moment but should the day come that I feel like a newer disco I wondered if a petrol d3 is actually a good shout? None of the diesel engine’s complications, only get 23mpg out of my TD5 auto so presumably running costs would be similar?

I thought the same. Think the rubber damper giving up must have some effect. Not much point it being there otherwise I guess!

No

Do the engines fail in the Jags?

Is a bit isn’t it! Tool I had made was 900mm long, torque wrench I borrowed a bit longer than that and it still took all the strength two of us had to do the thing up.

We’re you getting a chirp when you switched the engine off? I had that’s for a while then a horrible rattle which was it failing, luckily realised what it was before it self destructed. Shame I didn’t see this sooner, I had a tool plasma cut out of 6mm sheet for the job.

Speak to those that run the tag along tours, sure they’ll be able to help you with something!
