Thank you.

I have a disco 1 engine and gearbox out of the car. Is there a best way to fit these back into the vehicle?

Sounds like a good plan I was wondering if that would be possible. It may be sometime before I pick this up, as I get stuff delivered to relatives in UK from fleabay. Thank you that is most helpful It might be better for you to explain in theory how to "wire to the vehicles SRS ECU. ,while its...

I'm going to get another disco 1 instrument cluster.(they seem cheap enough). As Arnold Swartzenburger said "I'll be back"

I found that a lot of the water ending up in the footwells is actually getting in through the side of the windscreen and running down the a pillar. Disco 3 had a recall for this and a strip was added to the side of the windscreen(saw this in a "LR Time" video). I put "dum dum" down the side my...

this is the one from ebay.can you see the blue socket top left this is mine socket is blanked off .

found the plug i think 5 pins of the correct colours green purple grey in the correct place however my instrument cluster has no where to plug it in. a quick search on ebay for disco 1 cluster reveals that not all clusters are the same

And does C223 have a connection into the instrument cluster ? I cant see it but I will look again at the disco 1 loom . I'm happy with what has been achieved so far. It should be a functioning dash. I identified a few more warning lights including the check engine light which is literally...

I cant locate C223 It looks to be part of disco 1 wiring loom, at the rear of the instrument cluster? On closer inspection of the Disco 1 manual, the instrument cluster diagram has "with SRS and without SRS" pathways. Im wondering if i even have the bulbs now, But not to worry I can connect...

That's great, I'm actually in Ireland the test here is called NCT. They have a centre's dedicated solely to this. I have a friend working there He said it goes entirely on the chassis number of the vehicle, and if it matches the documents (which it does) I need to "change the body plan"on the...

Yes Indeed, I now have the ABS warning light coming on and then off a few seconds later. Fantastic. Thank you. I should be able to identify the other lights from the haynes wiring diagram. I Wonder can you tell me which other lights would normally come on and off along with the ABS warning...

I agree this does seem the best and simplest way to go when connecting a 300 tdi engine into a Disco 2 wiring loom. As you can see ,physically, the instrument cluster and binnacles are interchangeable (Disco 1 top of pictures )

yes and no lift welcome to the Hillbilly Garage

The disco 2 body on the disco 1 chassis Retaining the Disco 1 bumper step and tow ball.

Yes I have a complete , unmolested 2004 (as it was running before engine removal )disco 2 body into which i am wiring a disco 1 instrument cluster, when i run earth to c207-2 the ABS warning light comes on.

YES ABS warning light on

Ive wired in the instrument cluster from the disco 1 remember ? Its a 1996 disco 1 three door van chassis. I dont have abs or ebd hardware in place . According to Mr Haynes wiring diagram I do have ABS warning lights and SRS Indicators 1 &2 so some disco 1's must have had the hardware. So...

Im going to add some at some point. Ive kept the disco 1 bumper which is swallowed up with the longer 2 body leaving only a couple of inches protruding. looks strange but kinda neat. like a transit van bumper

Ive wired in a Disco1 Instrument cluster into the Disco 2 wiring loom using the instructions above I've also added - alternator warning D1-C221 5 N/Y- D2-C230-11-N/Y For the speedo, I intend to run wire up to the instrument cluster from the vehicle speed sensor at the gearbox output, and take a...
