Understand about Facebook - lol. If you can contact them via other means, great, they may be able to help with another opinion. I'm sure many of them have TD5 D2s - they're often used as tow cars for their competition land rovers

John, have a look on Facebook for "Cornwall and Devon Landrover Club" & post your question for someone with a D2 to drive yours. There are lots of helpful guys down there!

I don't believe they're available as a separate part. If they're missing, you may have to get a second pair of covers (perhaps broken ones just to get the seal cheap ?) I've refitted the seals to mine in the past - but used evostick contact adhesive. They're still fine after a few years

You should use stick on weights. You can then build up the weight in one spot by layering - lol. It also gets them further out of the way when you're in deep mud. My Special Tracks have 3 layers in some spots to achieve almost perfect balance on my modulars. Garages never think of doing it &...

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately those are Defender / Disco 1 / RR Classic fitment - which is also why the offset is so different

Could you share which websites? I use 235/85 mud tyres and 7 inch rims would be better than my current 8 inch

You'll be very lucky to find any 7 inch wide modulars for a D2. I've never seen any advertised.

The caliper assemblies are interchangeable in pairs from post facelift onto the earlier pre-facelift cars - improving overall braking performance slightly. I posted about this a few years ago when I needed to replace mine. If you use the Search option you should find it. There's quite a few...

It's amazing for normally high quality Japanese parts ! The bolt loosening / falling out appears common on other applications of the Denso AC compressor too (VW / Audi etc)

The same thing happened to me a couple of years ago, but the front plate got damaged as it was bouncing off various bits of the engine before stopping on the engine undertray. I bought a second hand compressor to get the front plate, bolt etc (cheaper than a new plate) & found there was an...

There was no amplifier on the speakers in the back of ours (High Line amp equipped) or the vehicle I removed another speaker trim from. Why would there need to be , when the main amp has separate outputs for every channel ?

Beware the standard speakers are all 4 ohm resistance & very efficient (High output per watt of input dB/W) - which is very rare in aftermarket speakers. Fitting some aftermarket standard 8 ohm speakers will often result in inadequate volume from the aftermarket units compared to the standard...

Are you saying the engine turns over when the starter motor runs, but the engine will then not fire up / continue ? Edit : Great minds think alike - lol

Have you lowered the fusebox access panel yet? You might see it and be able to squirt wd40 through a long nozzle at it.

If you have got the towbar fully assembled, it should only be the 2 M14s & 2 M16s + associated washers & nuts. have you looked at the fitting instructions ? As an example, there's a copy here ...

There are good nut & bolt suppliers on eBay - usually at reasonable prices

I'm afraid the mounting kit isn't available as a separate part number - only wirh the tow bar. You'll have to find the bolt specs & buy individually (NB all 10. 9 grade minimum)

Heavy Duty Rear springs are an incredibly high spring rate with most suppliers - typically 320 lb / inch compared to standard of 160 lb/in. The normal recommendation to fit these is only when your regularly carrying many 100s lbs of extra gear in the rear - otherwise they're far too hard. Even...

Whoever was driving it in that condition had no mechanical sympathy at all & makes you wonder what else was probably abused, I've run for 30 miles or so with a mildly knackered rubber coupling on 2 occasions & that resulted in minor marking of the metalwork & a horrible droning noise / out of...

Spacers place the same additional stress as modulars - which lots of people use for severe off-roading with no more problems than slightly reduced wheel bearing life. You should only find 30mm spacers as anything thinner means either extended wheel studs (very rare) or very thin sections in the...
