One of them... fixing/fixed some others, will update that in the main thread. Don't want to say "fixed!" too soon and then have to take it back :D I can't really see where it goes, blocked view from all angles. Yep, brake booster is hooked up and all good. I don't think Australian models had EGR?

I understand :D My bad, to clarify: - I got the 20mm springs for free. - And I want to buy new suspension in general. Why? Rear airbags are old, had both drop a few times and then come back later. And the shocks are horrible going over speed bumps, feel it bottoming out. So just thinking to...

Normally everything is a 2 inch lift, I'm working with something less here :D My car currently: - D2 V2 4.0L with SLS and ACE - Standard height, no bullbar, factory rear bumper - All factory shocks, factory front coils, and OEM rear air suspension, factory bump stops A friend gave me some...

Interesting! Yep, the front and rear shocks are really soft (they need to go!) I had both bags completely deflate happen at quite some speed recently though (around 40mph), but went over corrugations and some bumps in the road. Another time it happened at city speeds 20-25mph but with a bunch...

Not at all from what I saw. Will check again. You mean the orange stuff? Is that rust? They don't have waxoyl in Australia, but I found this stuff: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-underbody-rust-coating---400g/395325.html Or do you mean a rust converter like this...

Copy. Does air escape from non-faulty airbags when driving/hitting bumps, etc.?

This guy on the forum said that he was having SLS/airbag issues and it was due to a problem with one of his doors:

Yep, gotcha! I thought it was that. Mine looks a bit sad, the top of it is hanging down/bent. I'm having some SLS/airbag dropping issues and I wonder if this is the culprit!

What does this switch look like on your cars? 1) I can't find what you mean 2) If I do find it, how do I know if it's buggered visually?

Did you end up fixing this? I'm having the same issue where it just drops when going over a lot of speed bumps or sort of corrugation. My doors are fine, but sometimes when I close the bonnet and then lock my car, it honks that it hasn't been closed properly. Could that be affecting it? What...

I opened up the door to fix my window actuator: And found some rust at the bottom, is it bad? What's a cheap and easy way to treat it?

I connected my smoke machine to the throttle body and got smoke coming out of this pipe round the back of the engine. Specs: - Right hand drive (Australian) - V8 4L - 2003 Discovery 2a (facelift) Here's a photo of the engine bay:

From a wreck or new part? (Which did you order if so)

Did you end up finding a solution? I'm having the same issue

Discovery 2 V8 4L 2003 with a DIY smoke machine connected to the throttle body: I'm seeing smoke come out of the part with the spring where the actual throttle pivots. (That rubber glove is on there tight, nothing is getting past it.) Qs: 1) Can I repair that? Needs a new o-ring or...

Update: I found out this is the charcoal canister breather hose and that it's normal? - Discovery 2a, 4L V8 from 2003 - Car had been sitting for 24h - On the driver's side of engine bay (right hand drive) I connected my DIY smoke machine to the air intake, pumped smoke into it, and in addition...

Folks are suggesting it could be: 1) upper intake manifold gasket (was recently replaced by a mechanic) misaligned 2) lower intake manifold gasket (also called the valley gasket?) 3) fuel injector o-rings Any idea what parts I can remove to get a better look to confirm without doing a big job...

Thanks mate! How could I verify without taking the whole engine apart? And is there a risk that if I replace the intake gasket, then run smoke again, something later in the intake part crops up? Would be especially punishing if that something is something deeper and I have to re-do it all...

Tyres: 30.5" (265/60/R18) Doesn't feel like response in the pedal, but more that my braking isn't having as much effect as expected in that moment. Mechanic did it. I hope so? I saw him do it with his colleague hitting the brake pedal while he did each wheel. Interesting! I don't get the...

Hard to explain this feeling, but here goes: I bought a D2a V8 with stock suspension and (probably) the factory shocks with about 75k miles on them. Sometimes when I drive on very bumpy roads and apply brakes, it feels like the brakes give out. It feels like I slightly slide forward more than...
