The A pillar trims are purely cosmetic and do not provide any sealing.

I have now finally a windscreen fitted with no gaps, leaks or holes. Hallelujah! To overcome the insufficient depth of seating along the top of the glass they first pre heated the top rubber strip with a heat lamp to soften it. Then they installed the glass with ratchet straps and suction cups...

Did any of you guys have fitters strap down the top of the screen or somehow apply additional pressure to seat the seal properly? The guys I had clearly never did this. I am pretty sure all of the D2 screens they fitted were not sealed along to the top edge.

I had a cracked windscreen replaced by National windscreens....twice and the problem is still there! There are gaps between the applied PU sealant bead and glass along the top edge. It seems to stem from the D2 screen's built in rubber shield/seal along the top edge. It prevents the screen...

I just had a windscreen replaced and I used national windscreen. they left visable gaps int he sealant around the top corners so I called them back to do it again. THe same people came out and did basically the same thing until I had to step in with a ratchet strap to apploy more pressure to the...

I had a look at the rave manual. THe screws are pretty inaccessible. I think I'll have a go with compressed air without removing. I can actually see the fan with the steering column covers removed.

How do you access it for cleaning?

I see. So no need to worry about it. Mystery solved!

Could it be something to do with cruise control - which it is not equipped with?

Its a discovery 2 TD5

Btw Everything seems to work as far as I can tell. Strange

I removed the covers surrounding the ignition barrel on my D2 TD5 and found two plugs dangling in the wind. Does anyone know what they are and if they should be connected somewhere?

KDSS in off road mode is more or less a disconnected ARB. But in contrast ACE is an actuated (with hydraulic pump) hydraulic cylinder acting in series to the ARB. As you say I need to understand the limitations of the ACE better. My observations are based on ACE vehicles I have seen off road...

With anti roll bars the more travel suspension you have the more ARBs become a limiting factor as you are attempting to flex the axles further in respect to the chassis (precisely what ARBs attempt to counter). I plan to add 125mm additional travel dampers along with dislocation cones. Without...

IN my experience the D2 with ACE is not nearly as compliant as a Defender without ARBs. I also plan to increase the amount of droop over what I have and can see the ACE ARBs becoming even more of a hinderance.

I have ACE on my disco but would like to run with a completely disconnected anti roll bar off road. However, when I am on-road I would like to have the ACE. I plan to have a mechanical disconnect but I feel it would be less than ideal having the ACE system still running and actuating without...

Where did the 255/70 tyres rub? I'm guessing on the front part of the front wheel well? Perhaps a wider offset can help this?

I have a D2 and am planning on changing my grabber 255/55 R16 for the Toyo Open country AT3 245/70 R16 or possibly the 255/70 R16. I have 8J wheels with small 20mm outward offset currently. I like the toyos as they are a 2ply sidewall as opposed to a stiffer 3ply BFG K03 tyre. The terrain here...

Thanks. So just keep running until it fails.

My fuel pump seems noisy It makes a whiney, high pitch humming sound. The vehicle is new to me so I do not have reference. Is it a sign that the pump is on its way out? Also, I am planning to do some repairs to the rear chassis that requires the fuel tank to be removed. Is it worth just...
