    Air blowing from floor vents (and face vents) when face vents selected - 01 D2

    G'day gents, The only way I can get the air flow from the floor vents to stop is by selecting the windscreen setting. If I have the face setting only it still blows a lot of air from the floor vents. The problem is that is significantly reduces the air flow from the face vents on hot days. I've...

    Firestone coil Airbags

    They dont completely take the place of load levelling bars but do throw a little weight back on the front when towing heavy. Cheers

    D2 traction control VS CDL being locked video

    I have had my d2 since new. I had it without CDL for many years until retrofitting. CDL is definitely better with traction control. However traction control when driven correctly works and works better than in the video. It requires considerably more throttle than what was uses in the first...

    DI or DII?

    03disco2 how did the centre diff "give out". They are not a viscous set up. Do you mean you had a shift problem to engage CDL or didn't lock it for whatever reason and relied purely on traction control? Cheers

    RAM mount into Disco 2

    Gday all. Got with the tech thing and am sticking an Acer Iconia with off road mapping into my 02 Disco 2. Its a 1.5 foot long flex arm that is meant to be bolted in with the seat bolt (to help prevent a projectile in an accident). In my D1 that would be easy - not in the D2 with its seat...

    How common are slipped liners....and is overheat the major source

    High all - I have 100,000 odd miles on my Disco 2, 02 4.0 in Australia. I have had it since new and its never had an overheat. I have no problems with the motor but just wondering on its life as long as I keep up the oil changes (always used good Penrite and often) and dont overheat her. I...

    Questions on D2 front prop shaft

    I did mine just as it was starting to chirp at 150,000 KILOMETRES not miles and it was visually going out too...I used Hardy Spicer HD greasable unis and kept the original centre bearing that was without play and looked fine...time will tell I guess. Cheers

    Calling all scangauge II geeks

    I use the Scanguage II for my 02 V8. I like the actual water temp reading (combined with an after market low water alarm it gives much better protection - both for overheat and underheat when towing a large boat or swapping to LPG which causes sludge in the converter if not hot enough). I also...

    Clicking front end AFTER new CVs and double cardon prop shaft...

    Hi all 02 D2 manual V8. Clicking in the front end on take off from stationary - louder and more of them with the 2 tonn boat on the back. Only for the first few feet. I have had the CV's and half shaft replaced a couple of months ago and double cardon stripped out and HD greasables put in. I...

    Front Recovery Points on Stock D2?

    Sorry mate - Im an Australian. I was having some fun with you. A "tug" here in the vernacular means to masterbate - so dont let anyone tug you! Snatch here - as I think over there - means beaver or female genitalia - hence make sure you get a snatch. Cheers;)

    Front Recovery Points on Stock D2?

    PLEASE dont let anyone tug you...please ask for a tow or to be snatched out. Snatches are nice, but if you cant get a snatch ask for a tow...NOT a tug. Cheers
