    Disco 1 Head gasket again?

    In this particular instance I've lost motivation. Thanks for the responses, but I am now going to 'cannibalise' this Disco and reanimate my other 3-door 300 with the spares.

    Disco 1 Head gasket again?

    Yes to eating my dinner. Yes to all bolts being spotlessly clean and dry, and dowels good. Gasket? Standard 3-hole as I've always used, can't remember the make.

    Disco 2 Dashboard lights?

    As per original post, yes, all the lights come on with the initial self-check. Having taken various fuses out and replaced them the hdc light now comes on when hdc is chosen.. Which is good. The only remaining conundrum is the seat-belt light - it doesn't light up when I unbuckle. It's not a...

    Disco 2 Dashboard lights?

    Yes, they used to come on, and yes, the lights all come on with the self-check.... Confused? I am.. I should amend the original post re. Hdc light. It comes on as normal with the self-check, and used to come on when I use hdc mode. However, now when I use hdc the systen works (automatic...

    Disco 2 Dashboard lights?

    :( My Td5 is being a pain of late....along with both tdi 300s All the dash warning lights come on as normal (Td5) when I turn on the ignition but the HDC light doesn 't come on (even though hill descent is working), neither dies the selt-belt light come on if I unbuckle..... The ride height...

    Disco 1 Head gasket again?

    I used a brand new head with new bolts, which is why I'm surprised it has blown again...

    Disco 1 Head gasket again?

    Hi all, just a simple question after this simple explanation... Changed the head on my tdi 300 less than a year ago after the gasket blew. Ran OK after a good test run including a return trip to the UK, with no loss of coolant after a 1000km+ run. However, Unfortunately the radiator plug blew...

    Disco 2 Slab ecu SLS air suspension

    Finally had all my order from JGS 4x4.... All seems to be working as normal again after 3 days of testing, and I appear to have a 'better' normal height driving level. It always seemed just a little too low and the suspension used to drop to the stops overnight. Can't say I'm the oracle on...

    Disco 2 Adjusting the suspension height

    On that note (recalibrating) can you recalibrate to a slightly higher point for normal driving? Is it standard MO to disconnect the battery so as not to lose the current settings when doing any maintenance? Do both sensors always have to be calibrated at the same time, I presume yes....?

    Disco 2 Slab ecu SLS air suspension

    :)Bags are still up, no problems since Wednesday but that's with all the plugs at the pump disconnected - definitely not a leaking problem. Has anyone had similar symptoms (as original post) caused by a single dodgy height sensor? I have one which is suspect (have ordered 2 replacements) but I...

    Disco 2 Slab ecu SLS air suspension

    I'm aware of the airbags being a problem....Nope, bags are good. Changed them last year. It is possible, but unlikely the suspension will drop equally on both sides at a very quick rate if it was a simple airbag leak, though I'm more than happy to be proven wrong as that would be the...

    Disco 2 Slab ecu SLS air suspension

    Anyone changed one of these? I hear they are a bit of a pain to do and they need recalibrating? My suspension is still 'randomly' dropping to the rubber stops. Thought I'd cured it with a replacement pump, but no luck. It was good for a day then dropped whilst I was parked up, engine off, and...

    Disco II Air suspension – the definitive guide

    Yeeehaw! Another thread revival.... Has anyone changed the slab behind the glove box? I hear it's a pig of a job? Mine has been very temperamental of late: 1) Warning light came on the dash so 'hobbled' back home. Managed to get lucky and the pump worked next day - did a test drive and both...

    Max Load in back of freelander?

    o_O I laughed out loud reading this whilst I sup my first cuppa.... There was only ever one sensible solution - use a trailer. Attempting to 'max-out' a vehicle and take it on a long trip on public roads is nothing short or stupid and dangerous. Off to make another cuppa as spilt the last one...

    Disco 1 Another head gasket?

    Hi all, just a quickie. I changed the head on my '95 Disco a few months ago and it seems to have blown again - unheard of in such a short space pf time :( Is there anything else that members have experienced that would cause a blow out of the radiator plug and 'bubbling' in the expansuon tank...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Reliability?

    Hi all, I'm about to commit the henous crime of buying another Land Rover.....maybe. I currently have 2 Disco tdi 300's and a Disco Td5, none of which currently go anywhere: Td5 suspension problem, 300(a) used as spares, 300(b) yet another blown heas gasket- can't beleive it! Also had a couple...
