    Groaning / Vibration

    In my case this is the way how I identified it. I was looking every single piece of the car before to find where the hell it vibrates and once a friend came with me and asked him to listen where the vib could come. He said that he thinks it comes from somewhere between the seats. After I started...

    Disco 2 This is where the Oil Filter is?!

    Have you used it for OEM filters like Mahle, Bosch or Mann? For me it never fit. The top one on the picture is for probably for OEMs (but even in the outside diam of filter can be slight diff. which can be a problem of using such spanner) and the bottom one for genuine.

    Groaning / Vibration

    Yes, assembly. It is hard to identify which part is causing vibration within the drum brake, can be a single spring, washer or shoe. I have changed all springs, washers, shoes and cable. Balancing the drum also could be a good idea. when I did mine I found somewhere a LR technical service...

    Groaning / Vibration

    I had vibration between about 2500-3000. In my case it was the hand brake asm. Since renewed no vib:-) Just to test, while driving grab your hand brake lever or very carefully pull up (just a few mm to put some tension on it) and see.

    Disco 2 This is where the Oil Filter is?!

    I have this as well but never used as it fits only for one type of filter (maybe for genuine or Britpart?). I use this type, works well for me.

    Disco 2 General bone shaker lol

    I am running on 18s since I got my car and since I re-modified it to normal height (it had 2" lift) and changed all springs and shocks (shock are all Bilstein now) it is smooth and comfortable.

    Disco 4 (LR4) and its (my!) limitations

    I also have the same tyres (General Grabber AT) on my D2 and had the same problem about a week ago. I was parking on wet grassy surface which had a slight slope to the side. When I wanted to go back to road, does not matter what I did, the car was just slipping sideways. Finally I hade to be...

    Disco 2 Intermittent loss of power on gradients

    Have you checked live data to see what max turbo pressure you have? I also have stage 1 remap but my wastegate had to be adjusted to 11-12 thread to achieve about 235kPa and no overboost. But in your case maybe even the 12 is too short... it can vary as the parts (actuator and even the turbo)...

    Disco 2 td5 oil cooler replacement

    I guess yes. I have not dome it yet, but when I removed the turbo I remember that there was quite enough space to work on it. Also see Rave (the manifold is on):

    Disco 2 Air to coils if air still works?

    I agree with the above from Fery, and would like to also add one more comment. Here in hungary also many people advertises LRs with removed air bags as EXTRA! and also heard from a LR independent "specialist" that he removes ACE from all cars on which he works on and can convince owners to do...

    Other Battery Question

    I have just checked mine. Yesterday I measured about 12.2V but the car starts fine every time and was used regularly for 30-40km trips. I have a Ctek charger with Recond mode so I put the battery out for the night and made a recond program on it. Today morning I measured 12.6V, put back the car...

    Disco 2 Immobilizer question

    Fery, If that communication complatelly failes EKA still can be used for remobilizing? If I switch off passive immobilizer can this problem be finally solved? Thanks

    Disco 2 Immobilizer question

    Thanks Fery. Also strange for me that it happened 2-3sec after I started the car. When I wanted to restart it seemed that fuel cut off as it cranked but did not started. After closing and opening it started fine. Since then (I started several times) no issue. It also happened in the past with my...

    Disco 2 Immobilizer question

    Hello Guys Hope you are doing fine! Yesterday while I started the car strange thing happened. The car started normally but after 1-2 sec it sopped and I could not restart. I closed the car with key fob the opened and the car started. Can it be an immobilizer issue (I do not remember if the light...

    Batteries

    I have Varta Blue Dinamic 95Ah 830A in my td5 for about 3 years now and so far it works fine. The only reason why i have chosen this is that NO other alternative were available here in hungary that time (and I did not think that i can order it from the UK). But next time i will try to get Tayna...

    Disco 2 TC vs CDL

    Thanks for the idea Fery! It might helped me out from that situation. Regarding on the mud, you are right, we have very bad kind of soil here. It is not deep but has very slippery surface, like ice, so the car goes sideways even you drive in low gear. The funny is that I also has winch but in my...

    Disco 2 TC vs CDL

    Having good tyres are one of the most important (my experience today). I have well working TC and CDL installed but only road tyres (General grabber at2) and today I had to be recovered by a tractor while as was only going for fishing (to a place where normally normal cars can go in). I have...

    Disco 2 What is this part?

    I also have a small leak probably somewhere from the bottom part of pump. Is there any typical place there where i should look for leak? Shaft, pipe connections?
