    Air conditioning fault finding troubles

    In the end it turns out it was the air con control unit inside. And by the way the external temperature does nor have to be higher than the set point inside, have spent lot of time watching things with nanocom. Now to change the leaky output seal on the transfer case. Thanks for the...

    P38 4.6 autobox ecu in TD5?

    Have been doing some research into the Ashcroft torque converter upgrade for a tuned TD5 and thinking to make the most of the available low down torque would it be possible to use the autobox ecu from a 4.6 P38 as the shift pattern etc seems to occur at lower revs than with the TD5? Has anyone...

    Air conditioning fault finding troubles

    Looking at the circuit diagram, the positive for the compressor clutch relay coil is actually fed from RELAY-MAIN (R100) which comes on with the ignition via the inertia switch, it's only the negative that is switched by the ECM when it gets a signal from the ATC, I think that's what the quote...

    Air conditioning fault finding troubles

    Got it nice and hot inside and had the ext temp reading 39 thanks to the wife's hairdryer. Set the inside temp to 16. All compressor clutch request criteria fulfilled and still no compressor clutch actuation. Still got the 5v coming from the ATC when set to AUTO, 0v when set to ECON, still...

    Air conditioning fault finding troubles

    Ok, So the next step in this process will be to get the thing good and hot inside after a run, get a hot cloth and wrap it around the ambient temp sensor, this cloth I will call 'The Cloth Of Sahara' :D , then I'll set the cabin temp to 16 after checking the outside temp is good and warm. I...

    Air conditioning fault finding troubles

    Ok, done some more fault finding. I have now found that the refrigerant has leaked out since my last fault finding but there was enough pressure then to keep the dual pressure switch closed so my previous findings still stand. For now (until I can get the leak found and fixed) I have...

    Air conditioning fault finding troubles

    Hmm, what if the sun is shining (lots of glass in these discos) and the cabin temp rises above the exterior temperature?!

    Air conditioning fault finding troubles

    I know this is a perennial problem but here I go any way! My air con isn't coming in when requested. Other than this, this is my first Disco and I'm extremely pleased with it! I haven't been able to find any questions anywhere that are similar to mine so this is why I'm asking here and...

    Breaking Discovery 2 ES Auto 2000 model Bleneim Silver East Cornwall

    I do indeed mean the door lock actuator BUT I took my tailgate apart today to have a look and when I put it all back together it had started to work again, so I can only assume that I disturbed something in the process. Did you test yours and if so is it working? And how much do you want for it...

    What would you like for the lock mechanism? Is it to be assumed that it was working before you started breaking?
