    Anyone want some parts from a 1999 disco V8, because I will break it before I let someone charge me for plugging a laptop into it. All I want is a list of codes telling me what 115 is! and this fault does put it off the road as it wont pass the MOT

    Exhaust bolts

    What size bolts hold the systems together? I have to take mine apart to fix a few things and the bolts on there are not going to cooperate, in fact I'm not bothering with spanners, going in with the angle grinder to get it apart (the really are that bad) however I need to know what size bolts to...

    Disco 1, Worth buying a welding set?

    Second hand I'd only bother with a proper workshop MIG (Mines been good for near 28 years so far!) unless is so cheap its beer money

    Disco 1, Worth buying a welding set?

    However do NOT bother with Gasless MIGs. I have a very very old Condor Monarch 120, although not that powerful it was acquired second hand in 1987 by my father so I have no idea how old it is but it is a proper workshop welder (on wheels and designed for a full size cylinder on the back). I did...

    It also seems I am not the only one with this!.. ABS Code 115 - Land Rover Forums - Land Rover Enthusiast Forum ABS Code won't clear - Land Rover Forums - Land Rover Enthusiast Forum In my case the autocom+ will clear it, however it returns shortly after driving, or as happened yesterday...

    If you lookup the WABCO D system the blink codes are mentioned in the WABCO documentation, although it its the truck system although that is no great surprise as the Classic system was from a lorry so no surprise this system is as well this is the WABCO document...

    Reading up on the WABCO D ABS system it seems there is also a method of extracting blink codes from it, in a similar fashion as the classic ABS system. However that required the used of a switch which like the classic system is not fitted. Any ideas what pin this would be on? as there are a lot...

    Like many D2s I have the infamous three amigos, however I have the code from the ABS system is 115, which is irritating as when I try an look it up the last one is 114. (I checked it here Disco II ABS Faults) so does any one know what code 115 is? I can clear it but it annoyingly returns. I have...

    V8 with no power

    I may have found it, it appears there is a lambda circuit failure on bank 1

    V8 with no power

    Hi, I finally have my D2 V8 back together, and it is running.. but not well It idles nicely, and seems to have reasonable low down power in that I can move it about with very little throttle, however it has almost zero performance when driving and seems very reluctant to go much beyond 2.5K...

    D2 chassis repairs

    Like most early D2s mine has a lot of rust in the rear section of the chassis behind the rear axle, and I have cut nearly all of it out and made up the sections to weld in from 2mm steel, it's quiet shocking how much needed to be chopped out (the inner faces of both rails and the most of the...

    V8 Fuel pump

    The car won't run! I have the top off the fuel pump relay, which I have checked and it closes when cranking. I can also fix it closed, in which case if I have read the circuit diagram correctly should make the fuel pump run. On my car with the small Petrol tank the fuel pump is just under the...

    V8 Fuel pump

    Should I be able to hear the fuel pump? My V8 is still not running however I have scanned it for diagnostic codes and there are none, I also took he top off the fuel pump relay (Yellow one under the bonnet closest to the front of the car)) and it operates with the starter, however as far as I...

    Disco 2 V8 refusing to fire after having the head gaskets replaced

    OK I have taken a step back and regrouped.. I have now checked for a spark, and there is one, then I tipped some neat petrol into the inlet manfold and it fired a few times, so the ignition works however it will still not run, I am also aware it is a wasted spark system so this may not say...

    Disco 2 V8 refusing to fire after having the head gaskets replaced

    I have had my engine apart and the cam shaft out. Now it is all back together and it is not firing at all, the only good news bing it takes half a minute for the oil light to go out after cranking. I did make one initial mistake, which was to connect the idle control valve plug into the coil...

    D2 V8 Coil

    I am now putting the D2 back together and have no idea how to connect the plug leads back upto the coils.. this is a problem, RAVE just says to make a note when taking them off.. yeah right, they had to come off blind just to get it out! So is there anywhere a diagram to show whick cylinder is...

    Newly aquired Disco2, issues!!

    I think its you that needs to read up on the modifications to the THOR engine block, what you say is quiet correct with regards to the earlier blocks, on those it was nothing but a press fit holding the liner in place, and the bore into which the liner was pressed could in fact start being eaten...

    Newly aquired Disco2, issues!!

    The design is not a problem, the execution is, this is a manufacturing defect! The liner was not pressed full home before final machining of the deck, as these later blocks have a seat for the liner to sit on, if correctly fitted they can't move no matter what, however at 15 years old the...
