    300tdi coolant bleed points

    Hi guys Just about to put my 300tdi coolant system back together, had all new pipes new rad and new inter cooler. Was thinking of tapping the top of rad m6 for a bleed point when filling? Since I’m using a tdci bulkhead my heater supply pipes are quite high up too so I brought some brass 90 deg...

    Td5 filler return size

    Ah I have loads of 1 inch fuel pipe from work pity isn’t that size! Good stuff too. Did you do your actual filler pipe too? If so do you have a size? Cheers for the help!

    Td5 filler return size

    quick question as I’m sure someone will know! What size is the return pipe for the td5 tank and will some plain fuel straight hose be alright rather than the pricey made to fit replacements? I can’t measure as it doesn’t live with me and want to order Cheers! Edit if anyone knows the size of...

    Defender Tdci bulkhead on a 300 tdi

    that roof rack looks wicked! what kind of pipe bender did you use? guessing need a bigger on than a conduit bender? joins are really good, looks better than most the ones you buy :p solar is a good idea, wouldnt 2 batts be enough though? or stand for a long time? i want to do a double cab 110...

    Defender Tdci bulkhead on a 300 tdi

    haha welding is always crap on things like that! you dont need amazing welds anyway, 1 inch of weld should hold 1 ton you using an arc or gas? i keep meaning to get a gas set but havent had anything big enough to bother yet the lil arc welder i have is awesome too. looks like a toaster but...

    Defender Tdci bulkhead on a 300 tdi

    easy to get too busy to go on here! :D yeah theyre loads for what they are! i was looking at the old transit ones, bet you could use the gutter rail fixings off them practically the same and just make a frame out of some square steel or something. dunno how much you can make it up though imagine...

    Disco 2 Diagnostic

    Managed to get away without one or use generic one at work so far. Wont do the sls though. Yeah I figure it's not worth paying mechanics it never is! They're expensive to buy but it would be close to get it fixed at a garage. Plus you can sell/reuse Be better when 300 is fixed nothing...

    Disco 2 Diagnostic

    When you read down the page and realise someone asked practically the same question at the start of the week! :D:rolleyes:

    Disco 2 Diagnostic

    What's the cheapest diagnostic tool that allows recalibration of the sls? Nanocom is really expensive! There's some readers for like 50 quid and hawkeye/lynx seem abit better price. Any advice? Cheers

    Disco 2 SLS raised

    No luck with the diagnostic at work then hah! Was a long shot anyway. All this new fandangled computer trickery! Glad I brought the 300 nothing to go wrong on that! I'll have to see if anyone has a reader near Notts then! There's a landy specialist down the road hopefully they won't want...

    Disco 2 SLS raised

    Really? I assumed it would do a tyre no problem since the bags must have a fair bit of pressure in! I'm hoping the reader at works garage will do it. It works on the new tdci defenders so hoping it'll read the disco. Like I said the sensors don't have an obvious fault though when my friends went...

    Disco 2 SLS how to tell if bags or sensors?

    I do like the system but it seems abit of a weak part. It could go with no warning kind of thing. I thought it was sensors, as it's not sagging either end. Is it okay to drive? Not sure whether to do sensors or sensors and bags. Or just springs. Gana need a nanocom either way to reset it I suppose

    Disco 2 SLS how to tell if bags or sensors?

    Having this with mine now went to use today and stuck raised. Considering springs. Cheaper than bags and sensors and sorted forever
  17. alexc2701

    Disco 2 SLS raised

    This is what I was thinking. If it doesn't make alot of diffirence, cos springs are sorted.. for like ever haha. The sls is good but the bags always make me abit paranoid on long journeys. Could use the compressor on my defender rebuild too ooooh. Never really have anyone in the back anyway...

    Disco 2 SLS raised

    As title suggests I came to drive the disco today and the sls was fully raised and didn't want to start. Got it started tried going to 30 to see if auto dropped height no luck tried going off road mode just beeped didn' change height. Am I right in suspecting sensors? No sag on either side both...

    Defender Tdci bulkhead on a 300 tdi

    Got pic of filter bracket? Think that's what ima do now, better than the overpriced brackets and origional position no rubber mounts to replace either! I'd say td5 clocks like I did! Isn't that hard if your wiring isn't as mixed as mine was way clearer and brighter too. Look better with the...
