    Disco 2 help! battery leak

    Draw both locked and unlocked stabilises at 40mAh. I also could not find any culprit by removing the relays/fuses in the engine bay. Im guessing a likely cause could be an alternator on its way out?

    Disco 2 help! battery leak

    battery is a red top optima, few months old, hope it is not the problem here. i do have a multimeter. do you know what the 'normal' current draw when the car is "at rest" (door closed for some time) locked and unlocked?

    Disco 2 help! battery leak

    2003 Manual Td5 Disco I have a battery leak which is draining the battery in a few days. I suspect it has become worst over the months. Any obvious / common culprits that I can check? best way to check it?

    Do you have photos showing the wiring going to the switch on the roof? I fear that wiring is missing in mine

    Disco 2 Rear AC install

    Disco 2 Rear AC install

    If you have any photos of how the ducting and the evaporator/blower unit are fitted, maybe photos of the bracket and from where the pipes are passing. Im guessing they come up from around the chassis up to a hole through the body. Also a photo of the electrical connection would help so i can...

    Disco 2 Rear AC install

    It gives you an idea of how they should run but not very detailed. Do have a buddy with factory fitted rear ac so i should be able to take a quick look at the setup, hopefully without needing to dismantling anything

    Disco 2 Rear AC install

    On long runs yes, but in Malta they are never long runs. in stop/start ac is rubbish, especially if it has been sitting baking in the sun. I can compare it to any other car i have owned and this one def has the worst ac performance

    Disco 2 Rear AC install

    not sure how to answer. in the case of the d2 in the climate where I live, the standard front ac vents are decent in spring but in summer kids complain from the rear seats, and i cannot disagree with them. i would complain as well. in reality, in full summer it is barely good enough for the...

    Disco 2 Rear AC install

    Looking at the diagram from Rave i dont think removing the dashboard is required: looking at it I also need the engine bay pipes as the one i have doen not have the T connection near the service port. all in all however it does not look too complex

    Disco 2 Rear AC install

    follow up from my ac-upgrade thread I have bought "most" of the components for a rear-ac retrofit. and now on to planning to install everything, trouble is I seem to be able to find lots of people 'thinking' about doing it but not much info, maybe photos of wip or diagrams of how to plumb the...

    Disco 2 Air-conditioning upgrade

    what makes the biggest difference (i think) is that it has double the evaporators and double the blower fan so it will cool the cabin faster. I have decided to do 2 things: first remove the radiator and clean everything there properly (radiator, intercooler, condenser) second fit a higher...

    Disco 2 Air-conditioning upgrade

    another example, this is a 12" high quality comex fan https://www.revotec.com/acatalog/12%20(305mm)%20SuckerBlowing%20Tech%20Spec%20HP.pdf and only produces 1300cfm. My Spal produces a lot more due to the bigger flaps (also means more draw and more noise but who cares?)
