Could the noise you are hearing be coming from a bearing in the knackered alternator and therefore nothing to do with the engine?

Hi, check out Drizz developments on you tube, he has done a few and if I remember correctly I think he had to move the two rear mounts by a couple of inches to fit the Disco 2 body to a Disco 1 chassis and therefore achieving the best of both worlds.

I've been looking but I still can't find the one I used which is a shame as it was really useful and showed exactly where to look on the board for the broken or lifted tracks, hopefully you'll find it in one of your units. Good luck.

Hi, I had the same problem a few years back and I did like you, I changed the ecu and found it was still the same (intermittent rear windows). I then found a post on here that included a link to another site which had an excellent how to with diagrams explaining where to find the dry joints in...

Hi and welcome to the forum, I am by no means an expert and I'm sure that someone will come along soon with much more knowledge than me, but I have heard that the battery condition is crucial on the D3 and other models after that, I have been told that all sorts of strange fault codes can be...

Not entirely sure I understand your question but my interior light comes on when I unlock and it also comes on when I open the doors with the switch in the central position. Hope this helps.

Hi all, my seats are getting pretty worn now and I would like to tidy up the interior. Ideally I would like to get hold of a replacement good condition standard set of grey heated electric leather seats, however, if anyone has got an alternative of any sort I would be interested.

I've never done any serious off roading with mine, 99% on road and occasionally poor mountain roads in Greece but I do often use engine braking and have always found it to be adequate although not as direct in feel as a manual.

If you select 1,2 or 3 rather than drive, then the gearbox will not change up any further than the selected gear. For example if you select 1 you will only have 1st gear, if you select 2 you will have 1st and 2nd and selecting 3 will give you 1st, 2nd and 3rd, Hi and Lo changes the ratios to the...

Mine were intermittent for a long while until I soldered the joints in the ecu as per the how to which I found on here somewhere, everything has been good ever since, probably five or six years since I did it and never failed again.

Give this a try. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233281970371?hash=item3650b060c3:g:HrIAAOSwq4Nersco I've fitted one and it's transformed it.

I have seen it said many times how painfully slow the autos are but I don't entirely agree, when mine was completely standard it would take a while to wake up and get off the line but once underway it's performance was acceptable, in fact it was a bit quicker than my manual 200tdi. I think that...

Don't forget to let us all know how you get on with it, even the most trivial bit of information can be useful to others in the future.

Hi James, It's encouraging that it's running and starting well but it should be performing better than that. Start with the basics, renew your air and fuel filters first, then I would take a look at the fuel sedimenter and drain it if it is still in use and hasn't been bypassed, if you're still...

F1 Autocentre £94.79 fitted.

Goodyear wrangler HP all weather, had them on mine for a few years now and I think they are superb, I don't do any off road driving as such but I do take it out to Greece each year where it has to deal with some of the worst roads imaginable up in the mountains and around the remote villages...

Any update on this?

I'm after a pair of good condition grey leather electric front seats if you've got them as mine are getting tired, good ones seem to be difficult to find but plenty of knackered ones about.

They do come up occasionally on Ebay, I bought a good complete one about a year ago for about £30 and I have seen a few since then. Have a look into it but I think the d2 one might be the same, I imagine someone will come back soon to confirm or deny this.
