    Disco 2 best place for fuel pressure sender on td5

    well the logical reason is to get data. a slight reduction in pressure might indicate a failing pump, failing filter or valve, failing fpr and even a problem in the connection (earth) way before you are stuck at the side waiting for the recovery truck. as i overland that would obviously be a...

    Disco 2 best place for fuel pressure sender on td5

    i would like to fit a pressure gauge somewhere in the fuel system for diagnostic purposes, try to identify a failing pump or regulator before it gets too bad. If I understand correctly,in the diagram below i should have best results if i fit it along the green pipe between the pump and the...

    yes i know there is some variety but no idea on which ones are any good :D i always though the Britpart with the G are decent but i have my doubts now.

    yeah, doesnt look right, these are relatively new hubs , why would it touch and is it something that i can fix? also apart from genuine hubs, are there any hubs which are better than the britpart oem ones? cant seem to find genuine ones anymore and they were about 1000eur last time i saw them!

    Disco 2 Stubborn 3 amigos!!

    just a little update on this, i have not technically fully resolved this as I still get 3 amigos come up randomly every few weeks. im wondering if the marks on the abs sensors are 'normal' though. this is from a functioning sensor. also i have always installed hubs which come with the abs...

    Disco 2 plug and play ECU?

    managed to get it to work. do you know if there is a way to start a d2 without a functioning bcu? would it be possible to short a few wires maybe? obviously with a deimmobilised ecu

    Half shaft seals failing repeatedly Discovery 2

    got the same issue, wondering how you got along, the the NAK sealfix the issue? i think its either the seals or the swivel hub alignment is wrong. problem is the tool to align it costs around 1000eur and my local land rover specialist doesnt have it :(

    Disco 2 Front hub/axle seal leaking

    passenger side has been fine for years. driver side starts leaking after a month or so. i have not notices any cracks and i even tried to put a tiny smear of rtv between the axle housing and the seal. however, when i replace them they are not visibly destroyed as in the picture. that is why i...

    Disco 2 Front hub/axle seal leaking

    one thing that i did notice though is that the seals as shown in this thread look completely destroyed. in my case they leak a little fluid (not enough that i have to refill frequently but it does wet the lower ball joint, caliper and inside of the tyre) and the seal itself looks intact

    thanks for the explanation, that makes sense

    Disco 2 Front hub/axle seal leaking

    interesting, so the ID of the seal should be a little larger than the od of the shaft? how will it seal then?

    Disco 2 Front hub/axle seal leaking

    Thanks for the suggestion. They are quite a lot cheaper than the genuine ones so happy to give them a try!

    Disco 2 Front hub/axle seal leaking

    hello all! driver side hub seal is leaking and no matter what i do, i cant seem to fix it! The shaft is a heavy duty Ashcroft shaft. It did not come with new sealing shield but i did have an engineer make me a new one to be sure that wasnt causing the leak. I did replace the seal a few times...

    Disco 2 plug and play ECU?

    I have a spare ecu for my Discovery TD5. is it possible to set it up as "plug and play" somehow? maybe it is possible to disable the immobiliser function of the BCU? i tried turning the passive immobiliser off and connected the spare ecu. copied the injector codes from the original ecu but it...

    Disco 2 Stubborn 3 amigos!!

    I tested the output of the rhs and its the expected 5v, i have no idea where the sparks came from. As you know driver side is not easily accessible and i have an accessory fusebox. From what im seeing there are no exposed wires that could have generated the spark but i wasnt really seeing what i...

    Disco 2 Stubborn 3 amigos!!

    so its been a few days of 3-amigos free driving. the resolution? i sprayed a bit of contact cleaner into the female plugs of the abs sensors and left it over night to work. Same ecu, same sensor! sometimes the solution is easier that we think o_O Long term i would like to replace the plugs...
