Hi, I've been advised that if you unplug the MAF sensor the ECU goes into a preset assumed mode. If that's the case, would it render my remap useless? Thanks for replies in advance.

Did you run the priming cycle after putting the fuel in?

Could it be the heat shield around the turbo?Mine rattled as all the bolts had dropped out.

This is the sort of thing I used, it wasn't brilliant but it did the job. I had to make some different spacers to press evenly when pushing the new ones in. Think I wouldn't want to try doing another batch with the same tool, it suffered a bit...

I went through exactly the same question about a year and a bit ago when I had my defender. Ended up buying a 2001 manual Es spec ,with the view to keeping LR's. Quickly realised how much easier the disco is to live with, and sold the defender. Ive used mine pretty much daily for a 35 mile round...

I think I've got the same problem, I tried replacing the clutch switch which helped for a while, but noticed its come back recently.

Disco failed its MOT today, but was no mention of the marker lights, my local garage seems quite thorough as they find all kind of things,so they must have thought they were alright bring lit.

Happy to put the theory to the test...;)

Get a Caterham. Best antidote to my disco 2's cruise liner handling:D.

No, don't have the owners manual, just the workshop one, thanks for the link. Thanks for the info, as you say, if I can't get the n/s one working I'll disconnect it, I doubt they'd pick up on it in the MOT. I'll investigate the o/s side light in the morning, but hopefully it's just a simple...

Yes, exactly. I'll look into the sidelight first then. Thanks

Could well have been like this the whole time, I've got enough to do without actively looking for problems;) I've just put a circuit tester on them, and the earths seem to be fine from the holder to the battery. What's weird though, is that the bulb in the indicator lens has 12v on it with the...

Yes, had the car for a nearing a year, but this is the first MOT I'll have put it through. Its weird as it does the two different things on either side, I did think mabye someone had got the plugs swapped between the indicator light and headlight sidelight, but the loom is seperated. Think the...

Thanks for the quick reply, will investigate the earths, is the sidelight to be on in the headlight? And if so, what's the bulb in the indicator for?

Hi, The disco is going in for it's MOT in a few weeks and I've just noticed that the side light comes on in the headlamp on the n/s and the top of the indicator lens on the o/s.Any ideas what's causing it? Thanks

It runs through a grommet in the inner wing a few inches after the connection,then follows the brake flexi.

I've got an ES and it's connected, think this is the one you mean? Its connected to something by the n/s front caliper.

Thanks for the advice, guess I'll get the lemforders. Wonder if the boot could be replaced by a polyurethane version, as that seems to be better than this modern rubber?

Hi, Need to look at doing the infamous swivel ball joints soon, but I'm not sure which ones to buy. I'm worried about the quality of the rubber boot. I bought some Delphi OEM ball joints for the defender a while back thinking they would be better, but within a year they'd completely split. Has...

Had a minute to pull the centre console out today, looks like I should have done it sooner. The selector housing gaiter had multiple splits in it, I'm guessing that the water was splashing up the inside of the tunnel then dripping back in through. Suffice to say a new one is in the way. Thanks...
