SOLD. Sold it after 26.5 years of ownership, it was just a replacement for my rusty 10 year old car RR, I didn’t need the disco after the first 2 year, the job I had for it landscape my new garden was now finished, but kept the disco as it as it was relatively issue free, also the company cars...

Not normal D2 V8 UK spec engine then. Here in the U K we have a D2 with a Thor 3947 engine, which is so call by Land Rover a 4.0 litre D2, a different engine to D1 but the same CC as a D1 V8, which is called a 3.9. So where in the World are you?

I’m If you have grease in the steering swivels the you will have Teflon coated swivel balls, if the balls are chrome then they will have fill and drain plugs plus early swivels also had a level plug as fitted to my old RR 1987 so the oil could be replaced at the service interval. My 1997 D1...

Now corrected😊

My quick search gives me a LR part number as STC778 Kit headlamp cover so possibly nothing to do with adjustment, anyway unfortunately they are obsolete.

Wading plugs are only fitted on vehicles going into water that having a timing belt and/or a clutch, autos and/or a timing chain don’t need them.

I have explained what is dim-dip and how it functions already.

🤔 my 1987 RR wasn’t equipped with dim-dip nether was my TVR in 1985.

Yes, a resistor which is mounted at the rear of engine bay, just unplug it to remove the dim-dip function.

🤔 Pink relay ? No such thing fitted to a D1 and the only item that dips the headlights with the side lights on is the lighting switch. With D1s dim-dip feature, when the side lamps are switch on the headlight dip beam is then on but in a dim mode, when the lighting switch is turned to main beam...

All you will find regarding a heat shield under the vehicle it will be bolted to brackets below the floor and positioned above the mid exhaust box, although some times with after market mid boxes it attached. If with the D2 you need the heater dampers closed to stop the hot air flow into the...

Don't forget the D1 transfer box is rod operated unlike the D2, worth a check if that still correct.

The model year of your vehicle plus the model of head unit would be helpful, so my info is based on the 95MY. otherwise go to the amplifier and prove what you find back to the birds nest at the dashboard. The answer to your question is None. The subwoofers are directly fed from the subwoofer...

That is the correct belt routing for a 3.9 without an AC compressor. The disco1 3.9 was never fitted with carburettors, anyway the 3.9 has two belts to pick from, ERR4623 and ERR5579 if fitted with AC… also as always its depending on engine number and VIN

Ok you have an understanding on what is involved.👍 You may know that 1994MY was disco a change over year when the 300series was introduced with the updated ‘passive’ immobiliser so a change from the previous active system. 1994 200series had a black security ECU with a single button fob for...
