I understand that, but I was referring to my particular car. So I now have most of the bits, just awaiting the banjo washers. However I am somewhat bemused as to the fitting of the seal kit for the valve block end. The "instructions" are very Ikea like, and as such I should like to ask for...

Thanks for the ideas gents. As I see it there are three choices when it comes to ACE repairs all with their own pros and cons. 1. Keep it standard. Bite the bullet, purchase two new pipes. For: It was how the car was designed in the first place and essentially is quite a good system...

Last night my 2003 Discovery S2 developed a rear ACE pipe leak. Inspection this morning shows the usual pipe corrosion around the area towards the rear anti-roll system at the point it goes over the chassis outrigger clamp, forward of the offside rear wheel. It is difficult to prove it as it...

OK it seems there is no assistance regarding this issue, so here's closure as found by myself. Talking to one of the Alpine LR radio, re-coder, repairers they said 99% of this sort of problem are caused by leaky screens and water damage to the radios main board. I have a leaky screen (as I...

On my 2003 LR Discovery S2 the radio is dead, refusing to turn on when the volume control is pressed on the head unit. Its a ES model with a tape player slot, multiple CD loader under the drivers seat and rear headphone panels. It started playing up when all radio controls locked up and would...

Unit is back, Screen has been replaced and is working OK now. Watch out though if you send a Nanocom back to Black Box Solutions. They'll ask you to send it via DHL E commerce who are next to useless. Unable to track parcel either by their web site or talking to them, that is if you can a...

Hi Kermitt, They contacted me today after posting on their web forum. I have a Screen Digitiser issue. The touch screen only works in the main portion of the screen, it is very flakey around the edges, so the unit is going back to them for repair. I tried to update the unit but couldnt get past...

Do Nanocom still exist? I have an issue with my Nanocom Evolution 2 and cannot get any replies from the Nanocom Evolution forum or from the Nanocom website contact page. A technical help e-mail would be good. Can anyone help or is it time to throw the Nanocom away and get something else?

Thank you both kindly for your advise. It looks like I would be a fool to consider a S4, Shame. OK lets look at this a different way: Does anyone have any views what they would replace this S2 with. Please dont say another S2 I was thinking Sogun, Ranger, Audi Q7, BMW etc?

I have a question I would appreciate members thoughts on. Currently I have a 2003 Facelift Discovery S2 on 112K miles. Good original condition with no outstanding faults. I have owned the vehicle for 10 years, do all my own repairs and maintenance and find it ideal for my life style. It sits...

Excellent article which allowed my to replace my failed drivers door lock. I should just like to add a few comments which I think will add to the ease for others doing this less than easy job. 1 The door trim panel unclips easily using a trim removal tool. Don't use a screwdriver there will...

Yes, that's certainly a couple of cases of water ingress. Whilst the main 12v electrics PCB tracks are fairly heavy duty by nature of the current they have to carry and can be cleaned and repaired in some case, the IDM piggy back PCB tracks are much finer and more fragile. Without a circuit...

HI SF Thanks for the description and pictures which makes sense. I thought there would be a PCB inside the Fuse Box Passenger Compartment P101 even though I have never seen inside one. There are some six Siemens and NEC automotive dual PCB mounted relays shown in pictures of it, so it was going...
