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...

With winter arriving soon in Central AZ, and the old battery showing signs of sulfating, I'm planning to swap out for a nice Optima battery before Xmas. Rather than have to f**k with the radio code due to battery disconnection - is there a way I can keep the car's systems (i.e. Radio) powered...

Long drive today, 500 miles from the Californian coast, up over 4000+ ft elevations, back down into the desert (sea level again). Outside temps were 75F-85F - high humidity and heavy rain at times. AC started out fine, but after 3 hrs or so started to get warmer and warmer, and ended up...

I set off home yesterday from a multi-story parking lot. Auto headlights kicked on in the darkness - as expected. But then they stayed on all the way home, even though it was still light! (6pm) WTF? :banghead: Is that normal - i.e. once on, they stay on for the trip? Seemed bright enough...

Can't find any mention of what this is in the manual(s) :banghead: It's in the lid of my center console - appears to be a docking connector of some kind.. Anyone know what it's for?

Noticed this on my new 08 LR3, but not on the dealership demo I drove. When I stop, switch off, get out, then lock the LR3 with the normal lock button on the remote - the LR waits a few seconds then lowers itself down a little on the air suspension. This is NOT the Land Rover button in...

Just moved up from an 02 D2 to a new 08 LR3 SE. Get the guided tour on pick-up @ the stealership, everything going well until the final item. 'Can we sync my phone to the Bluetooth' - I ask innocently... Phone syncs fine (iPhone 3G) - but when I dial using the in-car system, the mic in the...

After 120 miles wheeling across AZ today with this damn thing squeaking like a cricket on speed for most of the way, am I looking at trapped debris or a new fan unit? Damn thing squeaks until I crank up the fan a little, then it goes away. problem is, on AUTO, it always ends up back in the...

Looking to get rid of the 'double pump' braking feature on my 02 D2 :banghead: Understand that the 03 front calipers fix this issue? Anyone any heads up on what parts and proceedures involved in doing the swap? Just the fronts or front & rear? Also - SS lines required or just nice to have...

Had an excellent Saturday working on the DII - doing a lube fluid swap all round. Engine Oil, Diffs, T-Case, Trans - all Mobil1 Syn products. Thanks for the suggestion from discoweb about using two pairs of ramps when working on fluid exchange. As you can see, you get plenty of clearance...

Read many articles in the archives about how difficult the plug change on the D1 is :eek: Couldn't really find anything specific to D2 plug changing. Is it the same as D1 - major plumbing removal required for access? Going to be a fun weekend of fluid replenishment and general servicing in...

Seems that Permatex no longer produce Hylomar for the US market :( It's gone from my local stores, and I can't find it on their website any more. Anyone any good (available) alternatives for the fill and drain plugs on the trans, diffs etc? Many thanks, Chris.

I see on the RAVE CD that the front shaft on the DII (2002) has a blanking plug instead of a permanent grease nipple. RAVE CD says to use a 1/4 inch UNF nipple size, but that doesn't tally with the sizes I see quoted on grease nipples at the local Autozone - they have a size and then what I...

Just want to be sure the tool set I'm ordering will cover the diff filler plug on the DII. Anyone know what metric size this puppy is? Many thanks, Chris.

Wanted to top up the transfer case oil today on my DII - and had read many reports here about the access to the filler plug being tight and challenging. Well, they are right! However, a Craftsman 1/2" drive UJ, coupled to a 5" extension bar, allowed me to use my socket wrench easily, and have...

WANTED: An airbox cover for my 2002 Disco II Mine has cracked brakets where the catches mate with the air outlet, so I'm after a replacement before it fails. Just the lid section. Need all catches in place and no cracks. Any decent offer considered. Thanks in advance, Chris. Carlsbad CA.

In my ongoing investigations around my recently purchased 02 SE7, I find that one stud is missing on an exhaust manifold :eek: I assume it must have worked it's way out - can't see anything in the service history where they would have had to take the manifold off. It's not just amissing nut -...

My pre-owned DII SE7 has what appears to be a problem with the passenger seat. It has powered back and fwd motion, and the seat-back has power tilt, but there is no power up and down motion... :confused: I had a call in to the dealer, who gave me the old 'it wasn't included on the 2002...

Just bought a nice 2002 SE7 with 55,000 miles on the clock Nice dealer service record every 3-5,000 miles - LR Las Vegas Had the usual pre-purchase inspection by an 'independant' LR specialist - they proceeded to try and scare the hell out of me with stories of doom should I neglect to fix the...
