    Other Discoveries 1 to 5 off roading

    I haven't watched the video yet but I was impressed with the std D3/4s I saw going through the 'mud run' at Billing the other weekend, did anyone else see the Ineos get stuck ?

    VNT Turbo - Worth it?

    Hi, is it a manual or auto ? If it's auto the torque converter can be a limiting factor for more torque.

    TD5 Mysterious Coolant Leak?

    Hi, welcome to the asylum. Could be worth popping over to the 'introduce yourself' section :). Has it got the 10P (EU2) or 15P (EU3)engine ? Someone must have added the coolant level sensor as these weren't std on D2's.

    Freelander 1 Freelander 1 brakes seized

    Hi,if the discs are grooved/scoured/warped/cracked or down to there minimum thickness then yes they (the discs) will need replacing (even if one is as I described then you must replace both, if they are still smooth on both sides & are not down to the service limits or warped/cracked then they...

    Freelander 1 Jatco auto g/box oil & coolant temps

    Hi all, after my g/box rebuild (reverse band). Plugged in my Foxwell (with it in the auto transmission mode) to go through the oil level check procedure as per Rave. When the oil temp when reading 35-40 degrees I cycled through the gears a couple of times then checked the level but the reading...

    Disco 1 Load space tie down bolts

    Hi, yeah they are torx bolts in the D2 & FL1. I should try the part no AFU4180 I gave you someone might have them in stock. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235299792860 A link for them & they look like 8mm, bit expensive seeing as you can get 3 from LR for £1.65 !

    Disco 1 Load space tie down bolts

    Hi, I've just had a quick butchers at my FL1 & D2 tie down rings but the carpet is glued over them & it's pis#ing down. According to the parts list it's the same as D1/2, FL1 & Defenders p/no AFU4180 the grand sum of 55 pence each ! If you can hang on a couple of days I'm going to take some...

    New FL1 Owner

    Hi, not strictly necessary to get a new filler plug if the old one comes out & looks ok, I've had mine over seven years now & changed the IRD oil yearly & because it's torqued up (to the correct torque) it's never a problem & it could well be the original plug (MY2004 with over 180,000 miles on...

    New FL1 Owner

    WARNING, when checking the IRD oil, which basically means draining it to check for swarf/shiny particles, make sure you remove the fill/level plug FIRST (before the drain plug). Otherwise if you drain first then the fill/level plug rounds off (as it's made of chocolate) you won't be able to...

    Disco 2 D2 water leaks

    Hi,what I found on mine was the glass to frame seals were ok it was the frame to roof where 'one' of the water ingress problems were. If you do take the frames out make sure you clean ALL the old stuff off,same goes for the roof itself (I used Sikaflex on mine) & as @frostythor says the gutter...

    D2 coolant top hose..

    Hi, if it's the 'bubbling' I'm sure that's just the vulcanising of the joint.

    Glad about that, I couldn't see why they would have changed them for the sport.

    Freelander 1 TD4 auto (facelift) inhibitor switch alignment

    Hi all, just a quick update on my FL1 'showing D1 on the dash display & the red light illuminated by 1 next to the selector lever' regardless of where the selector lever was positioned. It turned out to indeed be the XYZ switch. I nearly got one from Billing last weekend but it was £100 I then...

    Disco 2 wipers seem to have jumped a cog.

    Hi Stan, I,m hoping to collect an os rear door for mine from a place very near me on Monday, off a D2 scrapper (they've got two). I'll have a look to see if the wiper assy is still there & let you know. Meanwhile no getting too pis"ed at the village fate:):).

    Disco 2 wipers seem to have jumped a cog.

    Blimey, sorry to see it's that corroded Stan but hopefully a man of your calibre :) will be able to sort a temporary fix until you can get a replacement part (just a pain it's such an essential item). Mine looked like this in Nov 20 & as I need to get the screen replaced I will be paying close...

    Leaking Windscreen 2004 Disco Td5

    Hi, I'm glad to say all the remedies have worked on mine & touch wood I've had no leaks, as said the Captain Tollys stuff in the gutter with sikaflex afterwards has done the trick.

    Tdv6 ford pump logos and part number ground off

    Funny I got a Siemans maf for my D2 & the LR emblem had been ground off, all other markings were identical to the genuine one ! It's still working a treat when I check with the live readings on my Foxwell.

    Disco 2 Aux battery

    I must admit those rear a/c pipes do take up a bit of space. I will look at some battery dimensions, perhaps a 50 amp/hr will do to run my 45 litre fridge/freezer & compressor for tyres/air bed when camping.
