    Disco 2 Weird start

    I did think this, but then it wasn' struggling to start it wasn' even trying to turn over which made me think of the solenoid. Gana check at weekend it's too dark when I'm getting back from work

    Disco 2 Weird start

    Keeps deciding to work now :D I'll have a proper look tomorrow hopefully see if somethings loose. Started and like 15 times in a row now so I'm thinking got to be either wires into solenoid or solenoid that's broken. Or it'd be dead as a dodo by now. Why they always in awkward places :confused:

    Disco 2 Weird start

    D2 started playing me around tonight (typically when you need to be somewhere) not starting. First I thought battery and went to jump off van to realise I've left my jump leads somewhere :confused: weird thing was it didn't even try to crank when it was doing then it jumped to life.

    Disco 2 Upgrade seats from standard to electric, leather.

    What did that set you back? Wishing I'd brought a cheaper d2 if I'd known how much everyone on here knows about the issues I would have spent 2k on mine. Mint chassis and rebuilt engine though on plus side Mad when you see how cheap you can get them for though

    Td5 disco steering

    Mine had a threaded both ends track rod. Rarther than the crimped td5 type. Thinking off 300? But not certain. When I swapped it for the mot I did the whole track rod assy as I wasn't sure if the ends would be compatable as it wasn't standard.

    I'm sure you could fix it :D can you not swap for springs like on a disco? I don't know what they're worth when they're working? If worth fixing or not did you ever find out the starting issue?

    Drag link end ball joint???

    Haha I recently changed mine as part of my mot said offside drag link worn. So canned drag link assy. Both joints and rod. Then took back he said wrong joint. He had meant track rod as you say so had to take back and swap that too. Did the fool apologise for his error? Nope tried to blame...

    chassis colours

    I'd go light grey if was doing again, can see any grime to wash off and someone on here did the axels in it and it looked really good

    Axle diffirences

    Oh you meant alter a defender chassis for disco 2 axles? Are the fixing much diffirent? I know one person who used a disco chassis for a defender 100" build and just made a custom rear body but he worked at nene overland I need a house with a bigger garden and garage for all these things :p...

    Axle diffirences

    What use the disco chassis? It's actually in really good condition underneath Would you be able to use the disco chassis and defender body though? Surely it would be hard to classify it since its basically two cars bolted together
