Keep the good work up meego. I`m still doing bits to my disco 2 as & when I get time. I quite like looking at these threads. This weekend I`ll be welding the mounting up that the nearside rear sidestep attaches too. Luckily for me that is the only bit that needs welding that I have found. I even...

Can`t really recall having much trouble with it tbh. I think I just loosely put both bolts in & had someone hold the bracket down with a bar whilst I tightened them down, but I may be talking bollocks as it was quite a few years ago. I`m sure I started with the seats and then worked my way up...

I can possibly take pics later if needed. The seats in a disco 2 are forward facing. The holes needed to install the seats are all there from factory behind black foam stuck on, but you will need to tap the holes with a 7/8th tap If I remember correctly when I installed mine. Dan.

good shout too Johnlad as the fuel pressure regulator is above & slightly forward of the crank sensor so may of spilt diesel down there.

Check the plug that goes up to the underside of the rocker cover (front left as you look from front of vehicle) as you may see oil there too, that hasn't quite made it`s way down the loom to the ecu yet

Thank`s again, I was`nt even aware they did such a thing.

OK will plug that in the right way then. Still cant see where the connector disappeared off from the end of the wiring. Apart from breakers where else would I get one ?

Confused now then. Just got back under the motor and the cps wire is plugged in (at least I hope I havent mixed wires/connections up somewhere) and the wires going into the plug that I had connected to the cps had a black wire & a white wire with a brown trace ? So If I have mixed the...

Thank you, although it looked like the wires to the cps are in place. I must of caught it and snapped it whilst jacking up the engine to put engine mounts back in. At least I know fuel pump is ok as I had just under 4 bar of pressure with diesel leaking at the joints I could`nt do up tight. Back...

Stripped the wires back on the wiresthat appeared to of snapped off & as you can see the colours are as above pink with black trace & white with blue. I`ll have another root around now to see if I can find their previous home & also do a fuel pressure check.

Ok, I`ll see if I can get a positive id on the wire colours tomorrow + rule out fuel pump

This is the wire thats broken. I have`nt really had chance to do anything to night, other than try James suggestion to check fuel flow wich does increase significantly when ignition is on pos 2. Will try the fuel press check at fpr tomorrow with a manual gauge

I`ll post it here tonight. I believe I still have your email sirraferry, if so I`ll send it to you now

Havent tried that yet. I was going to check the fpr, but I`ll check the filter first then fpr pressure with a manual gauge

Anyone ? I`ve done the purge procedure 6 times now, I`ll try to check fuel pressure at the regulator tonight & I have had it cranking over for a while without starting. All lights come on & go out as normal & I even put an earth onto the starter from the battery. Only other thing I can think of...

Hi I`m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. After getting my manual box back in and the fuel tank after dropping said fuel tank etc for chassis rust prevention I now cannot get the landy to start. I did the purge procedure & also got it cranking over & sometimes it would click...

Not a million miles away from you if you want to come use my hawkeye. I`m currently flat out doing stuff at the moment otherwise I would travel to you. I`m in Fowlmere not far from Duxford. Dan

Anyone interested in my DMF out of my discovery 2. I bought it along with my clutch in case mine needed replacing. I could of re-used mine, as the new one has more rotational play in the springs than my new one My old one has 3 mm play (I believe I read that max play was 7mm) when moved back &...

Think I`ll try for one on ebay, and cheer`s for the heads up i`ll look at Ashcrofts website.

Would the defender transfer box housing work ? I`m not sure if its an R380 box that was on the defender, but mine doesnt have the cdl guts as the box starts with the 69D serial no. & the spigot along with the 3 bolt housing is`nt present on mine. I can put up a pic later if it helps...
