    Disco 2 Do you need extended shocks for a 0.8 inch lift at the front? Air suspension in the back (SLS)

    Update: I fitted the new (20mm lift coils) and new standard height Terrafirma shocks in the front and back (as well as new airbags in the back). Two issues: 1. The front is now higher than the back, visibly. 2. It rides really stiff on all bumpy roads and small potholes or undulations. TF...

    Disco 2 Does your Discovery 2 also lower at traffic lights?

    So, I've got an update I changed the bags! (And also the shocks and front coils.) Now I don't get those jolts anymore (problem 2 from my OP), but I still get problem 1: - At traffic lights the rear gets lowered as I'm standing there with the brake depressed. Then while driving it has to...

    Disco 2 Passenger side 1cm higher than driver's, how to level?

    Maybe you didn’t notice, but it’s the passenger side that is (and was) higher

    Disco 2 Passenger side 1cm higher than driver's, how to level?

    I recently changed my front coils from factory to Dobinsons C51-032 and put the longer one in the driver's side, but now the passenger side sits higher, for some reason: Front driver: 515mm Front passenger: 526mm Rear driver: 482mm (new air springs) Rear passenger: 482mm (new air springs) Is...

    D2 ACE & steering fluid problem

    Nice! Was it really messy removing the tank? I have a syringe with which I can empty it, but not sure how to prevent massive leaks from the hoses that are connected to it when disconnecting?

    Can’t I just clean my one?

    P38A Steering squeal

    Haha Black stuff like that? Any caught in any filters/reservoirs that needed extra elbow grease? Maybe it was flushing the system that fixed it, not the new fluid?

    Cheers! Good. Do you know if the reservoir comes apart? Like if it's possible to get in there better to scrub that black stuff somehow?

    P38A Steering squeal

    That's how it looks when I drained the fluid out from the power steering fluid reservoir. Bad?

    D2 ACE & steering fluid problem

    That's a great step-by-step! Will follow if I end up going down this route! All new hoses you mean? I'd love to do this, because look at the state of mine, but not sure I want to replace all those hoses and go through all of the steps of bleeding, etc.

    P38A Steering squeal

    Did you replace all the fluid in the reservoir, or also all the hoses and steering itself? Easier to turn? Edit: I'm having a similar issue with my Discovery 2. Is your power steering pump clean? And did you have any residue in the reservoir like me? See my post for more photos but here's one:

    Disco 2 Steering wheel noise when turning left and stationary-ish — changing PAS and hose did not fix

    Will edit the post, but it's a squeal or kind of a rubbing noise and feels like it comes from the steering wheel itself. No idea how to diagnose in there. In regards to the Rangie thread: - Sounds very similar to my issue. - I'm in Australia and we've got Penrite PAS fluid here which is...

    Disco 2 Rough idle in a V8 D2a — tried MAF, O2, sparks, leads

    Solved! Thanks for all your help, I have some updates and replies. First off, some replies: I cleaned the idle air controller and it didn't help. Great call on air leaks, turns out there were many. Yep, you were on point. Smoke test showed it. You were also right! I replaced the injector...

    Disco 2 Steering wheel noise when turning left and stationary-ish — changing PAS and hose did not fix

    Whenever I turn my steering wheel to the left (and only left) at parking speeds, I get a rubbing/squeal/whine noise in certain points but not all the way through. I changed the PAS fluid in the reservoir twice already, it somewhat helped after each time (never 100% gone), but then comes back...

    D2 ACE & steering fluid problem

    Not to derail, but when I drained out the fluid in my PAS and ACE tanks the other week, I noticed that the plastic filter inside it was filled with black marks. I think they were on the underside (so not accessible via the top cap). Is it worth cleaning those/how? Spray something in? Risk is...

    Ah great tip thanks! Did you find out what size o-ring it takes?
  19. MAF Diver

    ACE fluid change?

    I think that's fine. Better than nothing! Did you replace the o-ring of the filter? What size was it? What did you clean your filter out with?

    Cool, was just worried it could start breaking down the PAS fluid later? React bad?
