Yeah there’s plenty of fuel in it, got nearly half a tank

I took the vehicle to a chap with a nanocom and got coded the bcu by him Thanks for your reply

Hi all, I have a 1999 discovery 2 automatic The vehicle will not start, I have replaced the tank pump and various other bits, new internal and external fuse boards, new bcm and coded, the vehicle turns over, no lights on the dash but will not...

Yes spins over fast and can hear the pump

Yes so m and s light came on and wouldn’t start We bought it like that and replaced xyz switch the m and s light went I found a blown fuse for fuel pump and thought I was on to a winner Put a new fuse in now m and s are back and temp hand...

Not sure will check later

Thanks for your help will check that, now when Turning over have glow plug and engine light flashing and the temp hand rises

Hi, Does it still have the issue? i would re set up the gear linkage, find the linkage on the side of the auto box on exhaust side, undo the nut that clamps the link rod and push the lever towards the front of the vehicle until it clicks in to...

I’ve just used some easy start and it fired up so leaving me to believe it has no connection to the xyz switch and it was coincidence that it went at the same time

Have you measure the gap(door opening) On both sides of the motor? Have you measured the doors? This will tell how much you need to make the drivers side larger

If you have done as much adjusting as you can at the hinges then you do need to space the bulkhead forward, contrary to my previous post this is done by removing washers rather than adding! Ignore the rust it is a pic from google, but if you have...

Hi all, I have a disco 2 automatic It won’t start but will crank over, had m and s light on dash so put a recon xyz switch on, solved the m and s light issue but still wont start, it’s not bringing up park on the dash and intermittently bring us...

You need to post a picture of the gap between front edge of the door and the a pillar. Also see how much play you have in the hinges to see if they need replacing also.

Yeah I think your right with that bend it all to shape 😂😂

My first trough on that is that the bulkhead needs moving forward by adding a couple of washers between it and the chassis on that side. You can do that without actually stripping everything down just loosen all the bulkhead mounting bolts and...

The doors didn't line up particularly well when they left the factory, ad years of wear and tears to things and it is fairly common. what is your frame of reference for how you think they "should" line up? is it other defenders or is it more...

Hi has anyone had any experience with these plastic replacement panels, if so how would you recommend ? Thanks

Thanks for your reply Yeah the rear quarter was done, I’m not sure if the door shut properly before though, I’m aware of the bulkhead will be a lot of work to replace and a fair bit of money, I think I’ll have to acept the fact it’s never going...

Hi all I have recently bought a 200tdi defender Now the drivers door won’t line up properly, I found out that the defender was written off in 2005 with a front off side colision which leads me to believe the bulk head may be slightly twisted is...
