I Always make a note of where seals are sitting before removing old ones. As the originals would have been there the longest there may be some witness marks left to go by if LR did recess your ones.

Sorry you've had so much aggro. That was one of the first jobs I had to do on mine back in 2021 & I think it was NAK seal I used on SF's recommendation & it's been fine since. As said I did go over the shaft sealing area with some fine wet n dry. If I can find the receipt for the seals I'll post...

Yeah, Rockauto for mine as well

Yeah, would have loved to have got a Discovery Sport recently for daily use to compliment the D2 but after all the issues with that engine, knicker elastic timing chains, DPF issues (milage dependant) & ad blue system I went for a 2021 Mazda CX-5 Sport Active petrol. Like the op just getting a...

Hi, you used to be able to put your chassis no in, on the JLR website & get the build spec for any given vehicle (I used it on my 2001 D2 when I got it in 2020 but not sure if you still can). My D2 is the ES premium & was owned by a mate from new. He ordered it with genuine light bar/safari...

Don't forget proper cleaning can make all the difference, even when I take the wheels of any of the family's vehicles out comes the wheel cleaner (or wonder wheels depending on how bad they are) to get all the brake dust off ! Like you say always the longest bit of most jobs but we'll worth it...

Another ten bob in the meter to charge it, that's about all I can offer:rolleyes: ? Sorry to hear this, hope it's something simple 🤞.

BTW I'm not laughing at your misfortune just your description of what happened. I do absolutely admire what you've achieved,with a great dollop of envy, because I wouldn't know where to start & I'll admit I fall asleep trying to understand some of that coding malarkey 🙂. Keep up the good work &...

Hi all, having had a proper look at the leaking pipe (exactly where it goes to on the valve block) it actually goes to the bottom of the V/B to the ACE reservoir (one of the two piece pipes). According to the LR parts list (see link) I need pipe 14 (RQB000370) & pipe 12 (RQB000300) for diesel...

https://www.blackdownoffroad.co.uk/product/discovery-2-ace-pipe-2/ I've found this & it explains what pipes have the attenuator & what pipe goes where on the valve block.

Hi, looks like I need RQB000320 (top hole on valve block to ACE ram) as long as my 'quick look' at the pipes is right. I'll have a proper look at the weekend. Does anyone know if this is the pipe with the attenuator in it ? Typical these things happen just when the tax, £415, is due at the end...

🤣🤣 that's answered my post before I asked it , many thanks SF😊

Brilliant, thank you so much, about the only place I didn't look !:rolleyes::vb-groan2::). Out of parts 13/14/15 & 16 on list does anyone know what position these fit in the valve block please? https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/parts/index/part/id/14.55781.56176.59694/brand/land-rover/

Hi all, I trust you're all keeping well. Long time no posts but I have a slight misting on one pipe,see pic. Q1. Does anyone know if the pipe goes to the front ram or the pump (haven't had time to have a proper look but think it's the top one from the valve block). Q2. Anyone know the part no. ...

Happy new year all. I did fit a genuine arm to the D2 as well which again cured the same problem.

You'll have to loosen the sub frame bolts to drop it a bit to get the cradle out/in, best done with a empty tank.

Hi mate, sorry to see/ hear about the metal worm problems 😢. I can't believe for vehicles that aren't cheap to buy new LR, knowing what these type of use vehicles will potentially be used for, they couldn't go a bit further with rust prevention D1's body/D2's chassis/ D3&4's with what you're...

Funny, mine did that a few years back except it hadn't been moved for a day or two 🤔

Hi,on the face of it that sounds normal. Once you put new oil in it I would do 500 miles then change again to give it a decent flush if you don't know the service history. I think the IRD takes about 0.9 of a litre on changes.

I suppose it must be difficult to keep the weight down with conversions given they weren't designed for electrical perpulsion in the first place. I didn't think to ask if the series & defenders on display were heavier than std once converted 🙄, next time...... Still amazed at what you've achieved 🙌.
