    Brake Controller Wiring

    On a '99 D2 which wire on the brake pedal switch do you tap into for the trailer brake-- this goes to the blue wire on the trailer light connector. It would be the wire that gets power for the brake lights when the pedal is depressed. Thx.

    Vibration and occasional squeak: U joints??

    With about 88k miles I?ve developed a mild vibration between 30 and 40 mph. It?s worse under hard acceleration and going up hill, and stops completely if you let off the gas. Just today I started to hear what I can best describe as a scraping sound or a squeak when taking off from a standing...

    Brake Bleeding Sequence for DII

    I found some previous discussion about this, but no definitive answer- What is the correct sequence to bleed the brakes on a DII. My factory workshop manual says start with passenger front, then driver front, passenger rear, driver rear. That doesn?t make much sense to me if you should...

    To deal with the three amigos on my '99 DII, I'm about to attempt the repair in this write-up to "rewire" the ABS shuttle valves, and wondered if anyone has tried it here, and if so, how it worked out? http://www.landroverclubvi.com/abs-mod.html I pulled the SLABS fault code(s) and the only...

    I want to bleed the brakes (change fluid) on my ?99 D2. The shop manual outlines a typical procedure- hook up bleeder hose on caliper, insert in clean clear jar of fluid, loosen nipple and have assistant pump the peddle etc? Is there anything else to do? I?ve read that the ignition key should...

    ABS/HD/TC-- Definitive Fixes

    Many of us have had regular, though apparently random, visits from the ?three amigos,? ABS/HD/TC dash lights. I think it would be interesting for those who have definitively fixed this problem (i.e., they went away for good) to post what was done. We hear vague references to ground problems...

    Tire Presure

    The guy a the tire shop recommend I run 46lbs rear and 40lbls in front on my ?99 D2 with ACE, 18 inch wheels and standard size tires. The door sticker specifies 28lbs in front. He implied I would get better wear on the outer edges of the tread, though this has never been a problem for me. Any...

    SLS Bottomed Out!

    ?99 D2 with ACE/SLS and 65K miles. I came out after driving to work to find the rear end on the axle stops. Driving home didn?t change anything. I don?t hear the compressor running and the off road height button just produces a blinking dash light with no raising the rear end. Oddly, last...

    Serpentine belt replacement-fan removal

    I?m working on 60k mile maintenance for my ?99 D2 w/ACE w/air, which calls for replacement of the serpentine fan belt at this interval. The manual calls for removal of the viscous fan to replace the belt. Is this really necessary? Can you replace the belt without fan removal?
