With the engine ticking over I'm getting 32V on line 1, and 0V on line 4, against earth, see pic: I should have mentioned this earlier but the switch activates the wiper arm but does not activate the washer pump. And as previously mentioned, I know that the washer pump is working having swapped...

Great. Thanks very much. I'll investigate further. Andrew

Can someone please give a novice amateur motor electrician a few pointers on how to diagnose a fault with a Discovery 2, TD5 rear washer? The rear washer has not worked since I bought the vehicle last year. I accessed the pumps in front of the near side wheel arch and tested them by swapping the...

Your vehicle's chassis sounds like mine when I bought it (except mine had no welding). From recommendations on here, I used Bilt Hamber Dynax-UB: https://www.bilthamber.com/dynax-ub I cleaned off (using sandpaper) all the chassis that I could access and then applied this. I bought two 750ml tins...

Thanks. I agree. I find it odd and interesting that the Haynes manual says three years/36K for the oil filter.

I've had my Discovery 2, TD5, now for about seven months. I changed all the oils when I bought it. For the engine oil I replaced both filter cartridge and centrifuge at the same time. It's now done just over 4K miles and I am planning to change the engine oil again. While the Haynes manual...

Brilliant! Thank you very much. I've spent ages trying to access these files. Now I've done so! And, the information looks excellent. Andrew

Someone on this forum kindly gave me a hyperlink to the Rave manual for my Discovery 2. This was ages ago and I've not been able to view any of the information. Can someone now please help me to understand where the files are and how I can open them ? I unzipped the file and have this...

Regarding the power steering fluid, I'm going to have a look over the Christmas holiday. I've just taken the car on a 1000 mile trip and the fluid level went from maximum to minimum over this journey - so not massive. Has anyone any experience of this stuff: Power Steering Fluid Stop Leak...

Well, I was also thinking of just taking it off and not putting it back on.

I've cleaned up the area today, and will see what happens. One question (as a relatively new D2 owner): What is the easiest way to remove the main undershield? The Haynes manual says that it can be removed by detaching the front end of the prop shaft, but the obstacle appeared to be the centre...

I've just had a look at the part. It's a big unit! Does that 1" screw routinely get opened and closed? My first thought is to tighten it and the grub screw. The wetness appears to come from these threaded parts. I'll have a closer look tomorrow. Andrew

Great. Thanks again. I'll have a go at cleaning it tomorrow and seeing what I can do. Andrew

Great. Thanks. That makes sense. I've recently had to top up the power steering fluid, though the reservoir level had been pretty stable, on minimum, since I bought the car. Andrew

Sorry. The car is a Discovery 2, 2002, TD5. Thank you. The part I'm referring to, and 'circled' by the box in the picture is the black box-shaped unit behind the (dryish) pipe. It has a ca. 1" circular screw that sits flush with the outer casing - shown in the top centre of the picture. Below...

Thanks, It's not the pipe, its the box behind it. On the RAVE: I don't have adobe acrobat on my computer. My pdfs open with something called 'Nuance pdf Viewer Plus. Maybe this is the reason, though the software opens all other pdfs. I'm going to spend some time this evening seeing if I can get...

I am still trying to open up the pdf files of the Rave manual. I'm working on it. Until then, can someone please tell me what this component is (I can't find it's image in the Haynes manual): The view here is looking up into the engine through the twist-off cover just below the oil sump plug...

Thank you. I already know that this is a nice community! Lynall: Thanks. I know that the car thinks a door is open, and it doesn't do it all the time. But it does it when all doors and the bonnet are properly closed. I can live with it.

What is the best type of grease for the prop shaft? Is it lithium grease? The Haynes manual just says 'appropriate' or something like that. Andrew

Thanks. I think I worry too much!
