There are at least four things to consider when relocating a battery, the first three are safety issues and the fourth is an electrical one:- Security of the battery, it must be securely fastened down. These days battery security is an MoT issue. Prevention of spillage of acid. The housing...

Your symptoms; the car taking longer to start, and dare I say, the starter turning slower than before and now the complete failure would suggest a problem in the high power starter circuit. Check that the battery terminals are all clean and secure and also the earth connections from the battery...

Yep, the dreaded 3 amigos plus the handbrake light. My Nanocom says it's the right rear sensor intermittent, so since I intend to change over my wheels for the "winter set" at the weekend, I'll scrutinise it with an "intense scrute" then. The thing that can throw some people is the appearance of...

Lift blocks are a useful device for a 40mm lift on the air suspension of the D2, and because the SLS could lift with the use of a switch on the dashboard the flexible rear brake pipes are long enough to accommodate it. But we're not talking about a D2 with SLS but steel coiled springs. Take a...

It's highly unlikely that the fault has "fixed itself", it's just more probably that the indication hasn't been triggered recently. You're going to have to get the fault codes read and any historic codes cleared before you can proceed with the job of finding and fixing the actual problem. Rest...

There's no need to thank me twice Brian, just the once will do. Unless you want to give me a tenner as thanks, in that case that'll be twenty quid please :):D:D

Nine times out of ten the shuttle valve switches are serviceable, the fault usually lies with the two pin connector inside the ABS Modulator, and not with the connector on the SVS plate. The modification usually refered to as "Option B" bypasses those connectors using a couple of external wires...

While you and I are sorting this out together, and before the thread gets forgotten, it's worth mentioning that in some cases of the D2 transistor pack, the power transistor isn't always the metal can "TO3" type, as shown in @JUKE179r's pictures, sometimes it's a square ceramic enclosure...

@sierrafery You're correct mate, I did respond to the previous post by writing about a power transistor. The faults which usually occur with the resistor packs are either one of the resistors actually burning out and going open circuit or more usually one of the joints on the end of one of the...

The power transistor on the fan control unit works like a sort of valve in this case. It has three terminals, collector, emitter and base. The collector and emitter are the terminals through which the current to the fan motor flows and the base is the controlling terminal. The emitter and base...

I'd agree with you that the code you were given doesn't look right. You also say that neither of your fobs work, so that could be a job that needs addressing asap. With neither fob disengaging the central locking/immobiliser it suggests that there could be a fault in the RF receiver in the...

There are two ways that the EKA can be written, in decimal form (1-10) or hexadecimal form (1-9 plus a-f), zero on its own is not valid in this case. The EKA will be four numbers, not four digits. If there's a zero somewhere in the sequence and the preceeding figure is a "1" I would suggest that...

As I said Paul, you're an experienced person, why should it come as a surprise? It's a Land Rover!

For a man of you experience Paul, I presume that you've checked the simple things first like blown filaments in the brake lights and the brake light switch, I don't know whether its mechanical on the brake pedal or a pressure switch on the hydraulic lines on your vehicle. With the hazard lights...

There's just the one diagnostic socket. It's just below the drop down door under the steering wheel and down by your left knee. If this is about the D2, the diesel Disco 2 isn't compliant with OBDII protocols and although some of the cheaper more easily available code readers might give some...

Is this about a Discovery 1 or Discovery 2? What year? Are there any other lights showing? TBH, I can't see any connection between the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS), so be prepared for two separate faults, but as has already been suggested, get the...

Oh, well. Put in the box you keep for "left over bits". I often had odd bits left over, usually just the occasional washer, even when I'd been most careful to keep a check on things. Did you notice anybody sidle up behind you while you were doing the job? That happened to a mate of mine many...

I can't say for certain, but it could be something to do with the auto-cancelling mechanism for the direction indicator switch stalk.

I'm not a lift expert, but I can say that there's no real need to change to steel coiled springs to lift a D2, other than maybe on the front since that end isn't variable. The air spring self levelling system can be lifted by the use of lift blocks and extension plates for the ride height...
