    Disco 2 Surging when changing gear

    Well I’m very happy now. Test drive and no engine flaring at all. The whole palava was just down to a missed plug being connected. Wouldn’t have found it but for the Rave manual earth diagram. Every D2 owner should have a copy

    Disco 2 Surging when changing gear

    Well I have to hold up my hands and pin the idiot badge to myself. Got the multimeter out, chased the voltage and found no earth circuit from the pressure switch onwards. Pulled the centre console out to reach the earth point and discovered I had left the multi plug undone where the loom enters...

    Disco 2 Surging when changing gear

    Going to try to sort this out this weekend. Checked the Rave manual and the earthing point for this circuit appears to be in the centre console. I had all that out to clean the carpets properly. Wonder if I dislodged something.....

    Disco 2 Headlight Bracket Broked

    I resorted to superglueing the broken bit back on to mine......

    P38A Odd brake pedal feel

    I would check the caliper sliders as if you have a sticky one starting to sieze this could give you the “hard” pedal feel until it frees off and moves

    Disco 2 Surging when changing gear

    Hmmm if the switch is N/O and grounds out during operation, this could suggest a bad earth. Might try an alternate earth wire connection. I also have an issue with the reversing lights not working, seems thee is no power getting to the gearbox switch. Wonder if the 2 are related.....

    Disco 2 Surging when changing gear

    That’s the next step. Have already run the car with the plus disconnected and unbridged with no change. So i am thinking that there is no voltage to the switch. Anyone know what voltage I should be seeing at the clutch switch connector? Is it a pure 12V input from the ECU?

    Disco 2 Surging when changing gear

    Don’t see how it can be as the revs respond perfectly when vehicle is stationary. It’s just when changing gear.

    Disco 2 Surging when changing gear

    Well. The mystery deepens. Changed the slave cylinder and cross pipe from the master to slave cylinder as it had chafed through. Bled through all fine, clutch is great, but on test drive the engine revs are still flaring. “Must be the pressure switch” I thought. So the connector was removed and...

    Disco 2 Surging when changing gear

    Mine is on the underside of the master cylinder. Guess it just needs a damn good fast bleedthrough to shift the air in there.

    New problem for td5

    Hi all My TD5 has just started doing this too. Recently had the master cylinder off for a clean out and a full fluid change to the brakes, power bled using Nanocom. Day after I bled the clutch (not a huge amount as the fluid looked OK) and the over revving has started. Someone suggested the...

    Other what have u done on ur disco today

    Well, removed the piece of PVC which has been covering the SRS warning light and cured the problem by repairing the broken wires to the pretensioner. Also had the rear brakes apart and I have to ask the question "Why?".... Both calipers were siezed on the slider pins. Siezed with rust in the...

    Freelander 1 Rear window problems

    Yup. Rusted through cables, and if you want to find the apparently "missing" Bowden cable, it will be wound up in the regulator spool. I would use the replacement kit from paddock spares, containing the whole regulator, motor, guides and the works.

    P38A Tapping noise from bottom of engine on '99 4.0

    That's too tinny a sound for big end bearings, it's called "knock" for a reason lol. That's a light metallic striking noise, I'm now inclined to think those members suggesting drive plate may be right. Deffo something loose though.

    P38A Tapping noise from bottom of engine on '99 4.0

    All the symptoms point to a worn engine/low oil pressure at tickover/ worn big end bearing. Once warm and the oil is thin the worn oil pump struggles to reach much more than 10-15 psi, but rev the engine and the pressure rises back to 30-35 psi. Worn bearings also contribute. I would drop the...
