Some of the body mounts look a bit tired, is it possible to replace without the big jack? Any inspirational pics?

Im currently on an overlanding trip and checking the fault codes i saw injector open circuit errors for all injectors as well as another open circuit error related to air temperature. I dont have any obvious issues and only checked cause i had random three amigos come up (no error logged for...

hi guys, not strictly a Discovery question - trying to fit an ashcroft locker to my rear diff. trying to set the backlash,but the crown wheel gets jammed (actually more like there is a lot of preload!) as soon as i torque the end cap bolts. i suspect maybe im not fitting the bearing race...

Anyone knows which wire i need to tap in to light the air suspension amber light please? As i dont have air suspension, I want to light it when i turn on the rear locker so i have some indication that its on

A new problem, after driving for a little while clutch feels "spongy", and its less smooth to disengage. Noticed especially when i tried to pull off up a hill and i couldn't without a fair bit of throttle. This seems to get progressively worse as the car warms up. Gears seem to be going in ok...

thinking about rebuilding my rear diff and use the 3.5 Heavy duty crown wheel and pinion from Ashcroft. My question is will it work ok with my from 3.54 standard front diff? eventually i will also rebuild the front one but as it will cost around 1000eur each (including a locker) i was hoping to...

I currently have another strange issue which i managed to narrow down to something related to the ace. I have what sounds like a friction noise. It comes up when the car starts to warm up a little when cornering and when it is fully warm it is a constant sound. It sounds like a backplate...

I had to replace the Ace pump but i cannot get it primed. I filled the reservoir with fluid left the pressure hose off and tried cranking with the injectors disconnected and nothing. I even started the engine but nothing is coming out. Is there something im missing?

noticed a while back that the AC fan is not coming on when I switch on the ac. as far as i know the fan should come on whenever the AC is on, regardless of the temperature (i usually set it to 16 or LO)? I think it may be an issue with the engine bay fusebox as when i connected the earth from...

so in a previous post (here) i discussed where best to fit a fuel pressure sensor to a td5. now after i have it running i m noticed the pressure is way below the ideal 4bar. I have replaced the pressure sender (both quality SAAS senders connected with a T to the temperature temp port) and also...

In need of new shock bushes! Had replaced a few months ago for all makes but started cracking after a couple of months so not fitting those again. Genuine ones are out of stock or cost as much as new shocks (with the bushes included!) . Is there any sensible bushes options that would last more...

so was looking into replacing the crankshaft pulley as it started squeaking a bit and found this video: Instead of making up a tool to hold the crankshaft while undoing and tightening the pulley, this bloke just locked the flywheel. Is this safe or do i run the risk of damaging something...

i have noticed that the brakes on my d2 squeak really loudly, almost like they are grinding. they only do it when warm. Things I tried: 1. i tried to fit some new quality EBC brake pads fitted. I have had the same before and never had squeaking until recently. 2. the pistons do not feel...

i would like to fit a pressure gauge somewhere in the fuel system for diagnostic purposes, try to identify a failing pump or regulator before it gets too bad. If I understand correctly,in the diagram below i should have best results if i fit it along the green pipe between the pump and the...

hello all! driver side hub seal is leaking and no matter what i do, i cant seem to fix it! The shaft is a heavy duty Ashcroft shaft. It did not come with new sealing shield but i did have an engineer make me a new one to be sure that wasnt causing the leak. I did replace the seal a few times...

I have a spare ecu for my Discovery TD5. is it possible to set it up as "plug and play" somehow? maybe it is possible to disable the immobiliser function of the BCU? i tried turning the passive immobiliser off and connected the spare ecu. copied the injector codes from the original ecu but it...

hi all, im getting the 3 amigos. plugged in nanocom, said it was left wheel sensor. fine, changed hub and sensor with a new oem and after a short drive three amigos are back!! same error. any idea? could it be a caliper issue? or maybe the slabs ecu itself? if it is the ecu itself, which is the...

cupholder spring thing broke, was just wondering how difficult it is to remove and repair/replace?

So, driver side key lock was not working. After i fixed it and was happy with being able to lock unlock the car manually from the handle, i found out the remote suddenly stopped working. Was working perfectly before and tried different keys. Central locking using the key at the handle and using...

need to change the crankshaft pulley and wondering if i should also replace the seal. currently it is not leaking but no idea what can happen after i have been working on the pulley. question is, any tips on levering the old seal out and pushing the new one in without spending around 400 quid in...
