Hi, are all the sports manual ?

Hi @Freddie17 , can't thank you enough that's put my mind at rest after what was a 'long' job. As the XYZ switch mysteriously failed when it (the g/box) came back from from the reconditioners I was beginning to worry if something else had failed in their 'cleaning' process or if I'd left some...

Hi, thanks so much, I'll plug mine in later & take a pic of the scanner screen.

Hi, my Foxwell scanner gives me the oil temperature (for level checking) no problem but it also gives the coolant temp presumably from a sensor in the JATCO & it's the high coolant temperature reading from that sensor that concerns me, as when I switch from the g/box menu to the M47 engine menu...

Hi, welcome to the asylum🙂. As said no need to worry about disconnecting the battery, apart from (as said,the radio if you haven't got the code) & the clock. SLS work (if fitted)often requires the need to disconnect battery to avoid recalibration along with welding etc & don't forget disconnect...

Yep tragic RIP girls, doesn't matter how fit you are, you can't guarantee ya health (makes me smile when people say they're 'fit & healthy').

Replaced the short rubber hose from the vac pump to the hard plastic tube. The 'rubber' hose was as hard as the plastic bit & had split where it pushed onto the pump. I had to stanley knife the end where it pushes onto the plastic hose as there's a hell of a barb on it;). Passed it's mot...

I've had a couple fail on mine as well, I think they break internally as mine had no continuity when put on a mm.

The drains end at the bottom of the A pillar (or thereabouts) so the side steps shouldn't be an issue unless mud/silt is blocking the bottom of the pillars.

I would have thought if the seal was leaking it should drop into the frame & then drain through the tubes, it's when they leak between the frame & roof itself it finds its way onto the headlining (amongst many other ways of course) !

Yeah the glue won't stick to the degraded foam.

As above but you could also try adjusting the striker on the 'C' pillar if you have no luck.

I haven't watched the video yet but I was impressed with the std D3/4s I saw going through the 'mud run' at Billing the other weekend, did anyone else see the Ineos get stuck ?

Hi, is it a manual or auto ? If it's auto the torque converter can be a limiting factor for more torque.

Hi, welcome to the asylum. Could be worth popping over to the 'introduce yourself' section :). Has it got the 10P (EU2) or 15P (EU3)engine ? Someone must have added the coolant level sensor as these weren't std on D2's.

Hi, yes you can buy the new cases with microswitches, just a fiddly job soldering those microswitches onto the board,best of luck.

Hi,if the discs are grooved/scoured/warped/cracked or down to there minimum thickness then yes they (the discs) will need replacing (even if one is as I described then you must replace both, if they are still smooth on both sides & are not down to the service limits or warped/cracked then they...

Hi all, after my g/box rebuild (reverse band). Plugged in my Foxwell (with it in the auto transmission mode) to go through the oil level check procedure as per Rave. When the oil temp when reading 35-40 degrees I cycled through the gears a couple of times then checked the level but the reading...

Hi, yeah they are torx bolts in the D2 & FL1. I should try the part no AFU4180 I gave you someone might have them in stock. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235299792860 A link for them & they look like 8mm, bit expensive seeing as you can get 3 from LR for £1.65 !

Hi, I've just had a quick butchers at my FL1 & D2 tie down rings but the carpet is glued over them & it's pis#ing down. According to the parts list it's the same as D1/2, FL1 & Defenders p/no AFU4180 the grand sum of 55 pence each ! If you can hang on a couple of days I'm going to take some...
