Have you checked tbe supply fuse?

Your chassis may have been protected well by the first owner having one of the various chassis treatments applied inside & outside very early in its life. The external surfaces are not protected from the weather etc, so unless cleaned-up & re-protected regularly, will deteriorate possibly faster...

What do you mean by flexible tubing ? Either bendable brake pipe or flexible hosing would be OK - but flexible hosing would add a bit to the brake pedal travel as it's not as stiff as brake pipe.

There's lots been fitted on the D2boysclub forum.

Checking the MOT history onlube gives an idea if the owner always lets things deteriorare to a poor state before doing any maintenance. Lots of Advisorys is always a good sign of a cheap skate owner who waits for failures before doing anything

On the wheel with the binding brake, with the wheel off, can you push the piston back into the caliper housing ? IF not, you may have a mastercylinder, ABS modulator, brake hose or pedal box fault - causing pressure to be trapped. If you can push the piston back, it's more likely you have...

Not wanting to be a party pooper - but aren't they illegal for road use in the UK ?

Beware most aftermarket speakers are higher impedance than OE - SO will be quieter than the OE speakers.

Definitely front & rear separately, but both sides up in the air at the same time & done immediately after each other. Beware that dependant on the spring lengths & rates, you might need to get the front quite high & disconnect the front prop to prevent it stopping the front axle dropping fully...

Were there different ratios for diesel, v8 & mpi ?

No, its not a half chassis ! 1400mm is the standard section that replaces most at the rear, but leaves the rear trialing arm mountings on the car so there won't be any major axle alignment issues. For some reason, many people refer to the 1400mm section as a "half chassis" despite it being...

That's massively overpriced ! I fitted a 1/3 chassis (the 1400mm section) 2 years ago & it was just under £600. Others seem to have found similar during the last year. Beware that the body mount positions can need some "optimisation" to make them fit on some suppliers parts. If your shocker...

The lowering fob was a paid for optional extra. Obviously not taken up by many owners from new & probably lost / forgotten before selling the vehicle on by many of them - lol. I think it does need pairing with the car - others with more knowledge may correct me. If it does, you'll need access to...

The steering stops on the D2 only screw to a fixed position and can't be adjusted like a D1 or Defender. You could perhaps fit washers behind them to reduce rubbing, but I'd not recommend anything that reduces the D2 steering lock any further. I've actually cut my stops down to allow more lock...

When I bought my D2 modulars I was told the cone seat angle was different between the aftermarket modulars & LR Discovery 2 Commercial wheels - probably because it's cheaper to make a shallower angle on the modulars. This was the justification for them supplying wheel nuts with the modular...

Was the problem there before all of the changes ? Is it both brake pads on each of the problem brakes or only 1 ? If only 1 pad, it could be a sticking / misaligned caliper or caliper carrier. If both, potentially pressure is being trapped in the brake system & not be released to the reservoir...

The Wildbear bumper looks reasonable and appears to have a good spec (only a few appear to use 5mm steel). However, cutting your own sounds like the same "no brainer" it was for me - lol. Beware you can still hit it & break it - lol

Yes, you can do it to a pre-Facelift D2. You can remove all the area upto the section where the fog lights would be if fitted & the washer bottle stays (just) hidden. The advantage is obviously a noticable improvement to the approach angle. The disadvantage is that if you're bumper was intact...

Mine are more like an Orang Utan's - but they fit :)

+1 it's not difficult unless you've got huge hands
