Hi, not strictly necessary to get a new filler plug if the old one comes out & looks ok, I've had mine over seven years now & changed the IRD oil yearly & because it's torqued up (to the correct torque) it's never a problem & it could well be the original plug (MY2004 with over 180,000 miles on...

WARNING, when checking the IRD oil, which basically means draining it to check for swarf/shiny particles, make sure you remove the fill/level plug FIRST (before the drain plug). Otherwise if you drain first then the fill/level plug rounds off (as it's made of chocolate) you won't be able to...

Hi,what I found on mine was the glass to frame seals were ok it was the frame to roof where 'one' of the water ingress problems were. If you do take the frames out make sure you clean ALL the old stuff off,same goes for the roof itself (I used Sikaflex on mine) & as @frostythor says the gutter...

Hi, if it's the 'bubbling' I'm sure that's just the vulcanising of the joint.

Glad about that, I couldn't see why they would have changed them for the sport.

Hi all, just a quick update on my FL1 'showing D1 on the dash display & the red light illuminated by 1 next to the selector lever' regardless of where the selector lever was positioned. It turned out to indeed be the XYZ switch. I nearly got one from Billing last weekend but it was £100 I then...

Hi,did you ever get your top mounts sorted ?

Hi Stan, I,m hoping to collect an os rear door for mine from a place very near me on Monday, off a D2 scrapper (they've got two). I'll have a look to see if the wiper assy is still there & let you know. Meanwhile no getting too pis"ed at the village fate:):).

Blimey, sorry to see it's that corroded Stan but hopefully a man of your calibre :) will be able to sort a temporary fix until you can get a replacement part (just a pain it's such an essential item). Mine looked like this in Nov 20 & as I need to get the screen replaced I will be paying close...

Hi, I'm glad to say all the remedies have worked on mine & touch wood I've had no leaks, as said the Captain Tollys stuff in the gutter with sikaflex afterwards has done the trick.

Funny I got a Siemans maf for my D2 & the LR emblem had been ground off, all other markings were identical to the genuine one ! It's still working a treat when I check with the live readings on my Foxwell.

I must admit those rear a/c pipes do take up a bit of space. I will look at some battery dimensions, perhaps a 50 amp/hr will do to run my 45 litre fridge/freezer & compressor for tyres/air bed when camping.

Thanks for that. Typical mine has the rear A/C :rolleyes: so I'll have a look to see if the pipes look like they will get in the way, there must be some way of 'adjusting' the battery carrier to suit.

Hi all, are there any dedicated aux battery boxes for a D2 TD5 or are they generic items ? I've seen pics of installations but not a break down or links to anything. So if anyone knows of a box that will fit ( on the bulkhead where the optional FBH would go) it would be very much appreciated...

Ah, just that I passed someone cutting a white roof in half(ish) presumably to get it home !

Hi,you didn't pick that up at Billing by any chance ?

Hi, I can't remember what filter I put in mine but all I can say is you have to be careful fitting the new one, when I took the old filter out the o-ring on it had been cut in half as the pressed steel filter has very sharp edges where the o-ring fits.

I have the Foxwell NT530 for my FL1 & D2 TD5 & it does a good on both (has SD card slot for recording live data) & paid for itself 10 fold. I got mine with the dedicated JLR software (you can add upto 4 other manufacturers before you have to delete one). Not sure what it can do on the FL2 but it...

Hi, the amp is under the front passenger seat (& some had a 6 disc cd changer under the drivers seat).

Hi, this sounds like you have a leak somewhere. Mine had some odd behaviour in that it would never sink overnight even if it was left unused for a week but when driving & not always it would drop to the bump stops but if I stopped, turned the engine off then restarted it, it would re-inflate the...
