    Discovery II TD5 coolant pressurised

    Change the cap, they're only about £5 ;) If it starts using water when you change that, then like I said earlier, put a bottle under the vent pipe and check it regularly.

    Discovery II TD5 coolant pressurised

    Second on the cap. Is it using any water still? If its pressurised that much it should overflow out to the open ended pipe. I stick a bottle over it with a hole in the cap to check if the pressure is too high and water is escaping through the over pressure vent pipe. But that will only...

    Disco 2 Rims & am I allowed to request......

    Lift kit

    I could explain it, but it's really best if you just experience it lol. Depends how you drive the vehicle too, but if you go into corners quite fast, then it will apply pressure to the ARB which almost eliminates body roll. The other bonus, is if you want to use the vehicle for off-road, the...

    Disco 2 Squeal from front right wheel

    Probably brake pads squealing. You can also get dirt and crap behind the dust shield which rubs alot. Wheel bearings don't sequel, they whur and whine. (usually easy to diagnose by lifting the wheel off the ground and checking for play. Also rotating the wheel with the caliper loosened off...

    D1 Suspension replacement

    I went with Admiral to begin with who were right douchebags! Told them to shove it and paid the admin fee to leave within the 2 week cool down period. I cannot fault Adrian Flux, used them for 3 years now, never had issues, price is reasonable, I won't ever change from them again. :)

    Disco 2 Td5 maf

    I had similar issues, turned out I had a sluggish pump and injector seals gone. Swapped pump and the injector seal issue showed up straight away, wasn't as obvious until I changed the pump.

    Disco 2 Td5 maf

    Again. I think you missed my point. I didn't say the MAF was used for fuel CONTROL. I said it's used as a smoke limiter (regardless of EGR control). Reason I say this and I'm only asking because I'm unsure for this ECU, is that the PD engines I'm used to working with DEFINATELY use the MAF...

    D1 Suspension replacement

    Quick note on the insurance, I'm with Adrian Flux and I've declared every mod I've put on the vehicle, yet the premium never changed. (they charge an admin fee, but the quote never changed in price when I told them I had all the mods)

    Disco 2 Td5 maf

    I thought the MAF's main purpose was for LIMITING the fuel so as to not cause a smokey engine (as in it just makes sure the fuel cannot go over the max air:fuel ratio and being diesel, this is a massive band that it can operate in). Also for the EGR control and in some cases for calculating how...

    Lift kit

    No kept it, ACE is freakin awesome! ;) (even fits nicely with the steering guard I put on, was slightly worried with the huge knuckle where the hydraulic actuator attaches)

    Lift kit

    You can go either route. Standard length shocks or extended. But if you go any further than 2" lift, you'll need extended shocks. (personally I went for the extended shocks) and yes, medium load springs are a good idea, heavy are WAY to stiff.

    Disco 1 Smelling hot rubber

    I stuck a valeo one in and seemed to be pretty good. Make sure you buy the strengthened release fork and a new spigot bearing though (and don't forget to grease it) I will say I replaced mine because it was slipping as a result of oil coming from the engine on my old 300tdi Disco 1, so I...

    Discovery 1 Help after jump starting

    When you connected the jump leads on your car, you didn't loosen the terminals slightly without noticing did you? Seen that happen a few times where people haven't pushed the clamp down and tightened them correctly, works for ages until they're disturbed.

    D2 lift, not sitting level

    And yes, suspension does need to settle and work a little before they sit correctly.

    D2 lift, not sitting level

    Terrafirma springs do actually say what side the springs are meant for. They're written on the spring

    Make sure the arrows on the side of the donut point the right way, otherwise you'll rip this to shreds in a short time.

    Possible fuel problem????

    On a side note, does it also cut out when you put it under heavy heavy load in 4th/5th gear? Say above 2500-3000 revs full throttle for about 20-30 seconds? (and by cut-out, I mean dies and leave you stranded trying to get it started)
