    D2 getting senile?

    Makes sense - on investigation I noted two relays for indicators, left and right - so unlikely that both have gone wonky in the same way. I'll search on the indicator stalk and see what's involved - thx.

    D2 getting senile?

    I wonder if the 'relay' that handles flashing is the issue then? Anyone know the part # and location?

    D2 getting senile?

    When I get into my D2 and drive away, for the first 15 mins or so, I get a delay with every use of the indicator. I click the lever, and nothing happens for a few seconds - then the indicator operates as normal. This happens in both directions - and keeps happening until the car is warmed up...

    Driveshaft Question

    Will be interested to se how the install goes - you doing your own, or getting a local shop to do it? I'm considering the same unit for my D2. Can you post back when you get the unit and do the install? Thx.

    Window won't go up but motor us working

    When mine went, SWMBO was driving, and she pissed around with the window switch so much trying to get it to work that the motor got toasted as well! Needed new motor and mech $600! :(

    Issues: Post brake pad replacement

    I get this effect with the original brakes on my LR3 from new - so it may be a 'feature', or I may have an issue on my brakes as well. I've just adapted to it. Anyone else noticed this?

    How can I connact my Ipod on my Disco 3

    Hi Hugues - and welcome! Yep - the AUX jack is in a rather odd location (for the driver), but makes sense if you think of the average family with iPod enabled kids etc, this way they can access the AUX socket as easily as the driver/passenger. Don't forget to set the volume on your iPod/iPhone...

    How do you like the LR3 vs. a D1 or D2?

    I have both, having kept my 02D2 when I got an Lr3. D2 is great, but drives like a truck compared to an LR3, which drives like a luxury SUV. No regrets with either vehicle - but it is clear that LR have made huge strides when it comes to the lR3 - both on and off road. Air suspension is...

    transmission

    Chris - it's not clear if the guy is asking about a spot check - or a check once he's done the flush refill process. If it's flush/refill the the car has to be warmed up, and the manual gear selection process gone through. If he checks levels without doing this, we know he's in trouble!

    transmission

    For reference - three years after changing my ATF fluid out (For Mobil1 ATF) step 7) order new transmission, since the new fluid has just cleaned all the gunk that was keeping yours together Has not happened....

    transmission

    Probably makes no difference, as long as the engine is warmed up before you check level, and you've been through the manual gear selection process outlined above. I use Neutral. When full, Trans fluid should pour/drip out of the fill hole, so be ready! If it doesn't - then you need to top up...

    so frusterated, covered in oil, stuck filter...?

    As a last resort I have one of those oil filter wrenches which digs into the can, but definitely provides traction as it does so. Only had to use it once - with a stealership fitted oil filter! Agree with other posters - oil the threads and the rubber seal, fit by hand and snug up. Tend to...

    Dealer says my engine is leaking oil because it is synthetic.. BS?

    Here's my problem, when people start describing a multigrade oil as 'too thin', I really start to question whether they understand anything about oil lubrication products, and how they work :ack: .

    Dealer says my engine is leaking oil because it is synthetic.. BS?

    I guess that's why these D2s drove 66,000-kilometers around the world on Mobil1 http://www.odysseyshow.com/ :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
