    A/C Compressor Pulley

    Thanks for the info guys, Picking the car up from the dealers. Told them not to touch the A/C Compressor. Will try and sort that myself. Won't go to the dealer here again. The bill sounds extremely high. Most of it was, I presume standard Disco II problems from what I've read on...

    A/C Compressor Pulley

    The car is in at the dealers for a 90,000 km service. For a while now I have been getting a noise from the engine bay that I have related to being one of the pulleys. The dealer says it is the pulley on the A/C compressor. They are telling me that it is one assembly and I need to purchase a new...

    Dual Optimas

    To Antichrist, Not a bad idea once I get back to Saudi. Most of the kit on my car has been purchased from EE. I've got 6 x Hella spot lights, Safety Devices roof rack, TJM winch bumper with Warn winch. The two Yellow tops didn't come from EE but did come from the States. Cheers Jeremy

    Dual Optimas

    I've been running dual Optima Yellow tops in my Disco II for about three years. I'm running a battery management system and they have not been used hard. I was quite surprised when I now find they both appear to be duff. Seem to have gone duff very quickly, no real sign of decay. Any...

    Re: Hi - any advice? Transmission failed 2 mos after warrant exp & 3 mos after service Cozy41EF, Does the transmission have a separate OBD reader connection from the rest of the vehicle? My mate has been reading OBD codes from my vehicle and nothing is coming up bad. I also have flashing M&S...

    Tyre Pressures

    Have fitted Pirelli LT245/75 R16's on DII. Up front on my vehicle I have, TJM 15 steel winch bumper, Warn 8000 winch, two Optima batteries. I reckon about an extra 238lbs. Should I still be running with LR Handbook pressures (seem a bit low at 1.9 bar/28 psi) or should I up the front...

    TJM Bumper - D shackle mounts

    Viewing William Distel's photo gallery and noticed he has fitted yellow 'D' shackle mounts to the chassis behind the replacement TJM crush cans. They run forward through his TJM bumper. Anyone know where he got them from. Can't find an e-mail for him. Cheers Jeremy Parkhouse ('02 DII, TJM...

    Jerry Fuel/Water cans

    Will, How many do you carry on the roof rack? I've also got a pair of the EE double can holders but not fitted to my Safety Devices rack yet. I'm a bit worried about the weight of 4 x cans on the roof? Cheers Jeremy Parkhouse (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia)

    Need a skidplate for a DII w/TJM T15 & winch

    I have a feeling there is a set of skid plates to fit front (steering) and rear (diff + fuel tank) made by a british company but imported to the US. Might be made by Southdown. There are pictures somewhere on this site. Someone has the exact set up youe are after I'll let you know. Jeremy...

    OME Shocks Bottoming Out

    I remember there was someone else asking a similar question and the answer was as stated..your rear shocks are probably topping out over speed bumps. I believe there are no specific OME shocks that suit the OME 3" lift perfectly. The shocks you have are designed for a 2" lift only. Someone also...
