    2004 D2 - Center Brake Light Fell off

    Thanks. Got the rig from the shop on Friday and started to tackle this. It's nice that the JB Weld is dark gray since I scratched a bit of the black paint on the window but it won't be noticeable with the color of the adhesive. I had to cut the two wires to get the assembly off the car...

    Coolant - Disco 2

    I just had my head gaskets done so I could have gone with whatever I wanted; my mechanic uses the yellow P-HOAT "universal" coolant in Discos. That's fine w. me since that's what I was using to replenish the levels beforehand. It's nice since I'm lazy and I can pick it up pre-mixed at the Home...

    2004 D2 - Center Brake Light Fell off

    Now that I got the bigger stuff sorted on this rig (new head gaskets, etc.), working on the annoying littler stuff. The center brake light fell off the rear glass. The outer housing mounts with a couple of nuts to a part that's glued to the glass itself. After 20 years, the glue (whatever was...

    D2 trailer hitch wiring harness for RV style 7 blade plug

    Trailers in the U.S. use the same lamps for both turn signal and brakes; in the Disco they're separate wires for separate lamps. The adapter AB sells combines the turn- and brake-lines so they can be used with U.S. utility trailers, which use the common 4-pin flat connector with Ground, Left...

    Forget about the P38, I wanna know about that Disco.

    Chernobyl

    Powerful reporting the last few days about how most young people in the PRC have no idea that June 4 has any significance whatsoever.

    Almost $50K D1 at Copley's.

    I've bought two Epson Green D1's. The first was a '97 SE7 I bought new, the second was a '97 SD I bought last year. Both great rigs, but this price just blows my mind.

    XYZ switch or Crank Position Sensor?

    A bad CKP sensor can cause misfire codes to be generated, when in fact there are no misfires.

    Discovery II Fuel Door Repair? Clip? Latch?

    ^^^ This. When I got my D2 at first the release didn't work. The problem was that the door had been bent down a tiny amount, such that the plastic part on the door didn't engage with the post. A slight tweak upward on the door fixed it.

    Not mine but nice looking truck

    Same here. No enforcement. I remember being with my Dad bringing the family car in for annual vehicle inspection when I was a kid, but I guess no State does that anymore (just smog). So now I've gotten my share of windshield cracks from rocks kicked up by other vehicles.

    Not mine but nice looking truck

    Not to mention being illegal in most States without corresponding extreme fender flares. Just adds to the pimped out look.

    bankruptcy?

    The Snow Peak backpacking stuff is great when every gram counts and all that titanium weighs very little. Not sure why you'd want to pay that much as what their car camping gear costs. OTOH, their flagship store in Portland is across the street from a very nice brewpub with a rooftop bar ...

    bankruptcy?

    In North America, yea. Things have fallen apart in China. Europe's doing bad with Brexit uncertainty, and no one there trusting diesels anymore due Dieselgate.

    D2 inside lock handle, left front

    The inside lock handle on the driver's door of my new-to-me 2004 D2 has a cracked frame (a lot of the ones for sale on Ebay are the same way!) This is what I'm looking for:

    bankruptcy?

    And screwed over by Brexit uncertainty and Dieselgate in Europe.
