Need to make room in the garage. $500 for my 2000 D2 for any local folks in Ottawa. It will drive out of here, but needs a new windshield, and has some odd issue with XYZ switch or BCU that I couldn't troubleshoot (PRNDL flashing). Couple other issues like 3-amigos and A/C needs a recharge...

Hi Kyle.. it's a blinky combination of all the transmission letters.

Hey Folks.. I don't have time to work on this truck anymore.. I've owned it since 2000, and has been an awesome truck, but since I got my RR last year, this one sat out in the snow for the winter and I think water intrusion thru the cracked windshield has angered the BCU or ground point or...

Thanks for the suggestions. I had the fusebox out already, and it looked pretty clean. I should mention that the car was sitting outside for 6 months, and has a badly cracked windshield, so it was fairly damp inside. I think I'll pull the BCU next and check it for corrosion. Will also check...

Hey all, Getting my truck ready for sale and I've got what I suspect may be a BCU problem. 2000 Disco II. Hoping someone can help diagnose.. I'm about to start tracing wires thru the electrical diagrams to see what is common to all these faults. Things that don't work: 1. XYZ switch reports...

I can now confirm that the normal brake rotor temperature on an 08 RR is about 35 degrees C after driving about 2km with 3 or 4 stops in there. Not 305 degrees C. Ended up swapping in new rear calipers. Pistons in at least one of the old ones was seized - couldn't get it out to rebuild, so...

Hey, So I have enjoyed the past 14 years working on my discovery, and now am getting into working on an 08 RR. I note there are 4 jack points indicated in the manual, but I can't seem to easily figure out how to get stands set up. I've tried jacking beneath the large triangular assembly which...

Well, the pizza idea didn't work :( Pulled the brakes this weekend and the guide pins were fine. looks like the caliper/piston are seized though. Couldn't for the life of me get the cylinder free, so just put it back on. Coasted to the end of my road (500m) and the brakes got up to 500F...

hehe.. indeed. definitely sounds like the situation. pins are supposed to arrive friday. wonder how long it has been like this. grr :)

281C at one point on one of them tonight (538F). definitely building a pizza oven.

on the trip into the office today, one of the rear rotors got to 212C (414F)! I should start baking back there.

Hey folks.. I've noticed my 08 RR is starting to shudder a little at moderate speed - thought it may have been the road, but I suspect otherwise. Almost feels like it's missing, but nothing on the dash lighting up. On the way home today I noticed a brake squeal with the window down.. only...

thanks. probably right on the windshield, I just haven't looked around yet. working my way through a dozen to-do's on the old truck before I sell it.. finally managed to free the guide pin from that rear caliper carrier (20 more minutes of heating, chiselling, and a stud extractor finally...

Any of the following bits available to NY 14741? -one rear caliper carrier -windshield (is that even practical to ship?) -transmission XYZ position switch

I just swapped out the rear LH caliper on my 2000 D2 and installed new guide pins. I probably only needed the guide pins or maybe seals. Actuates fine, but wasn't releasing completely, causing some rotor friction. I will also throw in the other 2 new guide pins and gaskets (came in a pack of...

Thanks Scott.. will try as you suggest. And yes, Dan, that's the final option :) Cheers, Sean

Hi Scott.. I was pressed for time, so I didn't look at it closely at all -- it was raining on me. I was more concerned at the time with figuring out whether it was the hub (!!) or the brakes. Just checked AB, and they have some pin kits, etc. So I guess that's one thing to check. Will check...

I took a 2 hour drive recently, and when I got out of the truck, I noticed a funny smell. One of my rear wheels was very hot, and I could hear it contracting as it was cooling down.. even noticed a faint red glow on the rotor for a few seconds!! Presuming it was the brakes, I took the wheel...

or rather, crappy connector. I've been having intermittent starter problems, which typically required a jiggle of the starter cable to fix. I finally decided to go out and check the starter, and wow.. what a dinky little connector on that thing for the relay lead! It's just a small spade...
