Update time… Well… Garage have drained the ATF which is “crystal clear” and no hint it’s been burnt which is good. I changed it August ‘21 so that’s reassuring. They’ve pulled both ‘boxes and can’t find anything obviously broken/failed. No obvious failure with the TC/flex plate either…...

Hi Sprong, yeah t’box feels absolutely normal moving between hi/lo lock/unlock. I’d be extremely surprised if it was that. I’d say I’m 70% on the TC 25% on the auto’box and the last 5% something weird/wonderful like the end of the crank sheared off.

Hi all, thanks for all the comments. I’m 100% confident the t’box is in gear, as in my original post, I’ve tried all 4 positions (mine has diff lock) with no improvement. My suspicion is TC has failed… there is no change in engine tone between PND321, it’s like the a’box is completely...

Hi Juke, the only gearbox code was p0722 however having cleared it, there hasn’t been a reoccurrence of the fault code.

Hi all, I’ve lost all drive in my TD5 D2 Auto… was driving fine, just completed a 1 hour drive (home thankfully) cruising at 65-70 on the motorway, so not particularly stressing anything, pulled off the motor way with no issue, around a roundabout, no obvious problems, slowed for traffic and...

I have also, as part of the strobe upgrade project I have also installed an WoodWay Optilink controller for the LED strobes. This is the same as is used in some emergency service vehicles and is a basic smart controller. Allowing me to turn on/off individual elements of the lighting such as the...

Well, looking at my previous recent posts, I have been going work on the truck but clearly not been keeping things up to date on here. One major project that I have had rumbling on is upgrading all the LED Strobes. The first job was fabricating some new mounting brackets, these were made from...

Hi all, I can’t quite believe that it’s been almost 2 years since I’ve posted on this thread! The truck is still going well and I’m now in the process of planning a major overhaul in the shape of a Maer chassis along with everything that is needed with it such as bushes, suspension...

And just like that, Ashcroft have the fitting kit back in stock so I got my order in! now I just need to find that pesky TC!

oh ok, that’s not so bad then!

The fitting kit is my main concern as due to the 3/4 bolt issue…

Bugger! How is it stopping the engine starting?

Hi all, I’ve got a grumbling/rumbling sound/feeling coming from my Land Rover D2 TD5 with ZF4HP22 that feels/sounds like a failing bearing. It is engine speed related, not vehicle speed. It’s there constantly regardless of gear selection/vehicle moving/stationary. It is however worse when out...

Buy a rivnut gun... It's one of those things you didn't know you needed until you've got one. It won't be "just the two rivnuts".

@sierrafery yet again you are my hero!! FL11 was good, I could hear the relay clicking, each step I’m thinking “oh no, it’s going to be a new modulator”... right, where’s the round plug near the modulator... ah there it is... well it would help if it was plugged in!!! That was a real laugh...

No ACE warning lights came on and it seemed to be functioning normally.

Hi all, Whilst driving (sensibly) around a roundabout I had the three amigos come up along with the red break warning light and three chimes. plugging the Nanocom in and I come up with this; I can clear the fault but it comes back instantly, if I exit the page and tap “faults” again it’s...

Thank you @goreden! Another afternoon working on it, Terrafirma A12000 winch fitted and wired in (internal on/off switch still to do) and an Anderson connector installed (that will also have an internal switch/relay once they arrive) to save lifting the bonnet and removing the battery cover...

Thank you! It’s slowly getting there but loads more to go yet. Yeah, it sure is! I’ve just brought a thermal, waterproof overalls so that I can be at least a bit more comfortable when it really turns cold as I have no garage to work in. I couldn’t help but have a bit of a tinker this evening...

Well, the Dixon Fabrication bumper has been sat on my living room floor for the last couple of weeks since it arrived but it is now fitted! I have to say I’m very impressed with it and very happy it’s finally on! Next job is chopping out the cross piece at the bottom of the grill and...
