    DII Tranny problems? (Was "Fluctuating idle, stalls")

    Yesterday my '02 DII's engine started having a hunting idle, with intermittent stalling. The truck felt like it had suffered a sudden massive power loss. Several instrument panel lights were flashing, particularly the circular green "M" and "S", along with the LCD gear indicator. Both battery...

    Fluctuating Idle, low power, then stalls!

    Thanks in advance everyone! 2002 Discovery with auto transmission. Less than 5K on engine. Truck has a new (less than a year) short block in it from British Atlantic.. This probelm came out of nowhere, literally five seconds after I said to my wife "I can't wait to get to the Winter Romp"...

    Rally-style hood light pod for Disco II?

    Looking for one that holds four lights. You know, like you'd see on a WRC car. I have seen them on some Discos in the major LR mags, including the Haynes-built Disco covered recently in Land Rover International. Looking for a retailer that sells these. Looks like what this RR has on the hood but...

    3rd wire on Hella 4000 plug?

    All the wiring schematics (including Hella's) show only two wires, but the actual plug that attaches to the receptacle with the two spades on the back of my 4000's has three wires. I know the colors follow European standards, but I still have no idea what the third wire's purpose is. As I am...

    Holes/pass-through in Firewall on D2?

    Looking to run some wires from the cab to the engine compartment. Wondering if there is a well-known preferred route for this on the firewall. Figured I'd ask before I start wedging myself under the dash. As always, thanks. Steve O.

    Adding two Hella's: Switch/wire question.

    Hi all: I have a new ARB bull bar/bumper about to go on my '02. The bumper does not have provisions for my factory fog lights. I am going to install a pair of Hella 4000's on the bumper. The question is this: Is it possible (or a major hassle) to splice the Hella "plugs" into the end of...

    CB radio mount location in your Disco?

    Anyone? Seems like the only viable spot is on the ceiling in front of the sunroof buttons. I know the remount mount Cobra (and similar) unit with the controls on the mic are popular in Discos because of the lack of space, but I have four CB's lying around, a couple of which are very nice...

    18" AT/MT tires for Disco Hurricane wheels?

    Title basically says it all: I am looking to mount some larger (but not ridiculous) MT or AT rubber on the OEM 18" factory wheels. (Side note: Can anyone confirm for me how wide these wheels are?) I will be fitting a two inch lift prior to the tire job for the obvious clearance I will need...
