    Thanks for that, seems like a plan.

    They do seem to be on the firm side. Thanks for the recommendation. I'm leaning towards a standard height setup so will look at those.

    Disco 2 Thumpy ride with 2" lift and no bump stop

    Ok will do, the Ace seemed to be okay before, goes round corners well with no body roll on proper roads.

    Yep, would that explain the thumps over bumps though

    Disco 2 Thumpy ride with 2" lift and no bump stop

    For a while the ride on my TD5 has not been enjoyable to say the least. It's a 2004 with ACE, 5 seater so coils all round on 18" wheels. The previous owner has installed 2" lift coils and Britpart shocks. I took it to a main dealer here in France in August who said the coils and shocks seemed...

    Disco 2 TD5 2004 just broken down

    As markomate2 said "Also LR will probably tell you "your injectors are toast buy new ones"!". Yep they've come back and said after testing that all five are knackered. Could the previous owner have made the injector clearances to small when he was working on it? Could this damage the injectors...

    Disco 2 TD5 2004 just broken down

    It just stopped after an hour. Not sure about the restart. When I say LR I mean an LR dealership with a repair centre about an hour from here. Problem with being in the middle of no-where is the local help is generic. The nearest English LR mechanic is about 4.5 hours away.

    Disco 2 TD5 2004 just broken down

    Okey dokey, back from the garage. It conked out after an hour. The guys couldn't calibrate the injectors as the previous owner had apparently calibrated them to the max when replacing the pump last year. Seems he had also made a mess of replacing the 'o' rings as well as there was diesel in the...

    Disco 2 TD5 2004 just broken down

    Ok story so far. The car is in a garage in Lacapelle Marival not far from me. They swore blind it was the field pump. I pointed out it was replaced by the previous owner in August last year, I've got a copy of the purchase invoice. Admittedly he replaced it himself, he's seemed to be quite a...

    Disco 2 TD5 2004 just broken down

    Hmm, they reckon it's the fuel pump. It was only replaced last July (a bearmach part) by the previous owner. He fitted it not a garage, what's the chances of that failing so soon. Mind you he replaced the brake discs and callipers on one the rear wheels last year that cost me €300 to repair one...

    H Hi bignose, the fuel tank is in the last quarter, not near the bottom no empty light, which does work. Battery ok, the ignition sequence works but it doesn't fire. It does seem to be fuel related. I'll go through the previous owners receipts and see if he did the filter. Cheers

    They've hooked it up to a laptop and the dash looks like this. Also the auto m and s lights are flashing, can't be normal.

    No lights, no noises and hi can hear a slight whine from the back. The pump was replaced last year.

    Just driving my daughter to school and the engine stopped and the power steering went. Fortunately 25m from school so managed to coast over to the lay-by. All electrics ok, ignition ok but it won't start. Any thoughts? I live in France and am waiting for a recovery vehicle, it's ****ing down...

    Disco 2 Customer Dash for iPad Mini

    Have a look at this site;- http://angryoffroad.com/ipaddashmount.html it's for 'Jeeps' but the method seems to be quite innovative. I'm wondering if it could be knocked up for the Disco. I'll have a word with my brother as he's a wiz with 3D printers to see if it's feasible.

    Another American outfit - http://www.fifieldfab.com Can be pricey though, you're probably looking at about $700-$750.
