    Half shaft seals failing repeatedly Discovery 2

    In my case the Nak seals solved the issue. They are much tighter fit so prepare to fight them to get in place

    Ashcroft locker installation

    hi guys, not strictly a Discovery question - trying to fit an ashcroft locker to my rear diff. trying to set the backlash,but the crown wheel gets jammed (actually more like there is a lot of preload!) as soon as i torque the end cap bolts. i suspect maybe im not fitting the bearing race...

    Disco 2 Clutch issues!

    by the way, to bleed the clutch easily use a vacuum pum like this: vacuum pump the important thing is to use a jubilee clip to seal the hose to the nipple and to put generous amount of silicon grease around the threads. it will bleed in a few pumps.

    Disco 2 Clutch issues!

    i suspect the metal piece that came out is half of a snap ring that was once lost when the yoke bush self destructed... who knows where the rest is? couple of days a go i replace master and slave cylinders and gear changes are back to normal. case closed (until its reopened)

    Disco 2 Air suspension amber light wiring

    using a multimeter i have determined that the light comes on when the PK wire does NOT have supply. so in order turn it on i would need to cut out supply not provide it. i think i could use a NC relay maybe. however realistically sounds a little too complicated for what is probably very little...

    Disco 2 Air suspension amber light wiring

    I think then its the ORM light. I tested a bit, the sls light is the one at the bottom of the cluster and cant really see it lol. This is the one i want to light up

    Disco 2 Air suspension amber light wiring

    I will use one of those but im worried i won't notice the little light lol. I will even power the switch by the air compressor switch so that if the air compressor is off, the locker will automatically be off.

    Disco 2 Air suspension amber light wiring

    Based on this i know that the pink/purple from the switch, when joined to earth will light up the bulb (tested). I think the bulb is actually powered by an orange and white wire

    Disco 2 Air suspension amber light wiring

    Yes i do have cdl so i thought I better use a different light,as offroad i normally drive with cdl activated but rear diff will only be used for exceptional cases

    Disco 2 Air suspension amber light wiring

    Anyone knows which wire i need to tap in to light the air suspension amber light please? As i dont have air suspension, I want to light it when i turn on the rear locker so i have some indication that its on

    Disco 2 Clutch issues!

    what i have found is that gearbox oil replacement can also help, although i dont think that would change the "feel" of the pedal, will still replace the oil as its been there for at least 2 years

    Disco 2 Clutch issues!

    replaced the fluid, did nt feel bad when i went for a test drive but eventually gears started stinking again. im guessing its new master/slave time

    Disco 2 Clutch issues!

    I changed it a few years ago, i would guess if it was not bled properly i would have had issues before? I usually bleed them quite quickly by reverse bleeding them using the brakes (connect nipple from caliper to nipple on slave and pump the brake or run the bleed function on nanocom

    Disco 2 Clutch issues!

    A new problem, after driving for a little while clutch feels "spongy", and its less smooth to disengage. Noticed especially when i tried to pull off up a hill and i couldn't without a fair bit of throttle. This seems to get progressively worse as the car warms up. Gears seem to be going in ok...
