Thanks guys but I couldn't see it on youtube ,but assume you mean welding new brackets up at the front (opposite end to the towbar area) of the tank cradle where the old ones have disappeared .Its really like a shelf up there which would be a mud,rain trap,so could understand how they would rot...

Having just completed a big road trip around Ireland..admiring how well and economical Disco td5 was going on returning home and just a few miles from home pulled in to get some shopping (Luckily not diesel) as I noticed first the smell and then the drip under the tank..so drove home and then...

Thanks Sierafery,as it happens the ride height had been a tad uneven so I had planned to leave it into a specialist I use periodically to have it recallibrated as well as recharging a/c ..So lets see what happens..Btw I didnt go near the compressor side when changing the springs this time,just...

I recently changed out both rear air springs and sensors at the same time on my 03 D2 as they were around five years old and I had a spring overinflate due to a sensor going faulty...All was well and I did a few long trips no problems but a couple of weeks ago I came out one morning and both...

yes,thanks ,looks the part allright...I do have a tiny 8gb drive and am going to try it first ,more or less to check how the radio manages and displays the music files etc..as I've never put music on anything other than a cd,a phone and tapes of course (giving away my age )

I went to Halfords and bought a jvc kd r461 which is the basic jvc at €79 but has a cd,usb,aux socket ,detachable face,6 presets,is also steering remote ready and the sound is actually amazing,better than the old LR one .The Halfords site has a compatibility checker and it said I needed an...

That certainly makes a lot of sense allright ,thanks for that. And great little gizmo above to balance the sound at a fantastic price too.Would I be right in assuming if I got an OEM unit with a USB port I could play music from a flash memory stick or an external hard drive with all my music...

I did respond,thanks,just to say I couldn't see ad....I have a lot of cd's..makes sense to condense them allright

Thanks again,great info.,might go for that,the cd changer is not really a high priority,don't mind the single cd option ,but is it possible for an OEM head unit to control the Alpine LR CD changer ??. Tomorrow I'll probably make a trip to local Halfords..looking online they have a few options...

Thanks again,thats great ,I get the picture a bit more now .But if I went for something like this Blaupunkt on ebay to tie me over til I either got mine repaired or replaced..as i believe it could take some time...and as this looks to be similiar plugwise to my own...obviously won't have...

Thanks again aceb.and you just prompted me to try the Auxillary inputs in the 3rd row back seat positions as well as the wired cassette gizmo I used to play an mp3 player through and neither of these are working either...I also mailed some of the big breakers here for an Alpine...

Cheers Brian...but that product is a different number than mine which is xqd000110puy which is €1069 brand new on LRDIRECT,and the abovementioned xqd000110lnf is €1203 , A DIFFERENCE IN PRICE ,SO I GUESS A DIFFERENCE IN FUNCTIONALITY OR FITTING/CONNECTIONS ETC..I think the latter maybe for a...

I would consider another unit...butwhat about the connections to speakers ,amp.etc...

Thanks AceB ,so I guess a U.S. version may work and there seems to be an endless supply of them..I guess you could increase the bass level to counter the de-emphasis effect..However I'll still look to get a U.K version

My D2 2003 Alpine Radio/Cd/Cassette (xqd000110puy) has packed up altogether having previously suffered from mysterious turning on by itself at the same time not being able to change channels /volume or anything else .I took it out and opened it expecting to see some water damage as the problems...

be careful when connecting cars positive lead to jump lead and on to external battery a lot of places it could earth

that's exactly what i meant....yes you would have to remove engine cover and assume positive is hanging down somewhat...I would say that when power is restored window solenoids could be disabled..from fob or is it key?

any chance you could get under the car and just get a hand on the positive battery cable...then connect a jump lead to a battery positive terminal outside the car (assuming you can access a battery)...you can then connect the negative battery terminal to any earthed position on the car,,I did...

Had a browse through Radio associated problems but didn't notice this..My standard Radio/cd /tape player in my 03 D2 has now taken to coming on by itself....This can be anytime day or night, when the car is locked..I did have problems before trying to turn it off at the Radio and would have to...

you're right in saying the worst place to deflate them ...I should have thought of that but most of the threads I read instruct u to undo them there...Anyway I went off and bought a cheap O ring set and will go at it tomorrow due to heavy rain today ..... ,replacing the little buggers as thats...
