Love from India 🇮🇳. 🙏🏻🖤
Regarding the rear corner-pieces, I've lost a couple of them AND I tried bolting them in place but, unfortunately, all that happened was that something snagged on one and broke it in half instead of popping it out. The easiest "fix" is just to tie a 6" length of paracord to the corner-piece and then tie the other end to a hole in the body so when the corner pops off it'll just hang there and you can fit it back on again. As for the door seals, I noticed that I could see daylight through the bottom of my tailgate cos the seal was barely touching the bottom of the door. Took the door seal off the bottom of the door and fitted a strip of 12mm x 10mm self-adhesive draught excluder foam right across the bottom of the doorway, just behind the flange the seal attaches to. Refit the seal and the foam strip forces it to sit a 1/2" higher up so it now seals against the bottom of the door. 👍 Looking at your doors, it looks like a similar fix might work there too, if you have any more problems.
@@SiCrewe good idea with the draft seal. Might just try it👍
Looks a great rig! Is there a cover over the cooking area in case of rain?
@@sleepycatpictures1176 unfortunately no. Need an awning on the side.
We had a fantastic time, would love to go again and explore more areas that we didn't get chance to go to ❤
yeah~how splendid ! see ya!
i didnt get a notification about this upload, but im watching now, boge, boge!
That's a lot of rain through a door seal. I have not had rain come in there, everywhere else, but not there! Good idea though with the tubing. Not had to tangle yet with the back plastic corners so was wondering if fitting the rear steel bumper had changed the clearances. Good looking Disco too!
@@sleepycatpictures1176 large potholes or off roading would dislodge the bumper corners breaking the clips. Seems sturdy now with home made studs and nuts.
@@deanshortland7194 I think those corners were an afterthought!
Howzit All, Have any of you got to the bottom of the leak at the alternator? I have the same and thinknit might be a vacuum pump leak
@@user-ws5tz9oc4j there is seal behind the vac pump in the front of the Alternator. It could be that this is letting oil out
@@deanshortland7194 Hi Dean, Ive just replaced my banjo bolt on alternator with new crush washer and that's dry, I came back now from a test drive and droplet of oil again on the tensioner pulley bracket bottom bolt. So Ill need to remove the alternator and change that seal behind the vacuum pump. Thanks
@@deanshortland7194 Have you managed to fix yours?
Im getting back in to CBs but not that good at wiring. Most of the new ones plug in to the fag lighter but not sure about that.. 😅
What type of paint have you used for your radius arms ect?
@@bradtaylor5407 I used Hammerite smooth blue pal
@@deanshortland7194 cheers 👍🏻
Hoping to do the same job soon on my 2001. Was there anything you had to do to code out the ACE in the computer? Thanks!
Yes. I had it turned off in the BCU. You will need a nanocom for this, I paid a chap for his service to do this as I don't have one. I believe it was about £15.
Nothing green and environmentally friendly about what you are doing.
That's the trouble with screaming passengers, they keep you awake when you are driving! Looked a great family day out though. Nice one!
Thanks. It was brilliant putting the disco through its paces👍
Bit of off road rallying

You have working sunroofs!!! Good man! There is a chap in Blackpool that does the sunroofs. He did Lollopy for me. Excellent job. This Disco though -could not be bothered. I was thinking that if this Disco was rubbish too, I would not have spent needlessly on it. I like that light bar, looks good.
I don't know why people don't fix them properly. Took me a day on Sunday to sort out and it's nice having them open on a nice sunny day. Got any major plans gor yours?
@@deanshortland7194 I just don't fancy spending the rest of my life cleaning off all the sealant on the roofs, so they'll stay as there are for the moment. Apart from removing both front and rear bumpers, for various reasons, the next big thing is both front hockey stick radius arm bushes. The big ones on the chassis side. I'll have to get help though as my arthritis is kicking off at the moment. I'm still impressed how well the Disco is driving after changing the ambient air pressure sensor!
Dean where did you get the rear light bar from mate?
Got it from Hadley services pal www.hadleyservices.co.uk/
Thanks mate
Remember. Landrover s. Discovery & defender s. Are not 🚫. For speed 🚧. Speed kills.
Thank you!
Interesting idea, not seen that done before, looks ok that. I guess you could also mount it on your roofrack if you had a big roof tent on it to make it a little more aerodynamic.
Hiya. The peaky accessories one is probably the best looking one. You find the on Facebook. I saw a few posts on discovery 2 forum of other people trying this so I thought I would give it go save money on a brand new one.
hi mate, i have the same here, what size hose do you buy? TY
I belive it was 13mm. Tried a 10mm first but was way too small
That's cool! I think you might be a tad optimistic though expecting the sun . . . ! Good idea though.
Yeah more like wind and rain deflector!
Here's one I made earlier, with the power of editing! 😂
Thanks for this - just changing mine and wondered how the old ones came out. Helped me out a lot! Did you have to disconnect the battery for this job?
Hi. No didn't disconnect the battery. They are only low voltage led's so can't see it doing any damage.
@@deanshortland7194 Thanks!
It’s apartments there now isn’t it ? Or I am I thinking of wrong place
Yeah housing estate now pal
What new bushes did you go for genuine or aftermarket?
Went genuine. I've heard poly ones can sqeek.
@@deanshortland7194 yeah I've heard mixed thing with Poly bushes tbf. Think I'll just go genuine when I swap mine
Hi how has the painted frames held up
So far so good. Any stone chips I can just touch up with more black hammerite 👍
Good vid. Thanks. The music is distracting. 🙉👍🏻🙏🦘
Certainly brings it back to life again good job 👍 How do you find the brightness of the LED’s at night? Cheers Tony
They are fairly bright. But compared to the standard ones that cost about 9 quid each it's a vast improvement
Extreme offroading as you winch yourself up mountains
Looks good to me. Nice One!
Cheers pal👍
Yep, nicely done. 👍 If it'd been me, I think I'd have taken the solenoid pack off the top of the winch, fitted it under the bonnet and then attached the smaller light bar with torx bolts as a way to deter any scumbag who might want to steal the winch.
Wasn't sure at first but the chunky bar has grown on me🙂
Still A great looking Disco ❤
Yes, the trailer needed a lift. You could probably have gone another inch in my opinion. Good job though!
The yellow green wire is the ground? Black wire goes to positive?
Looking good mate
Phat lift kit
Good job!
Thanks🙂
Hi, I am considering removing the ACE system would you kindly list the parts you used to do it.?
@@deanshortland7194 wow! thanks for the reply, the price for the kit is a bit steep. My D2 leaks from the front half low pressure pipe to reservoir , its 90p with taxes and shipping to Italy. Do you think is possible to replace the segment damaged of the pipe with a copper pipe? thanks
@@robertosavorani6622 not too sure on that one. The lines are high pressure. If you can remove the damaged pipe take it to a hydrolic pipe specialist. They may be able to repair it for you. Will be cheaper than buying the removal kit.
@@robertosavorani6622 If you want to get rid of ACE, you need to be prepared to haunt eBay to find the parts. Biggest hurdle (IIRC) is finding a rear ARB. IIRC, all D2s with air suspension came with ACE so you'll only find a used rear ARB when somebody strips a (quite rare) D2 with rear coils. There's currently at least 2 pairs of ARBs listed on eBay for £200-£300.
The window on my ZS is stuck closed and I didn't think I'd be able to get it out to change the regulator, but looking at this, it looks like simply undoing the bolts on the regulator caused it to drop down so you had enough clearance?
Brilliant tutorial Dean lad as always, Discos/TD5 are a great engine to work with.
Thank very much👍
Blimey! Looks a right pain. I didn't know fuel cooler leaks were a thing! Nice one!
I don't think they are that common for leaking. Better than paying a garage to do it tho.👍
@@deanshortland7194 Yup, always.
Spent some cash on this disco, dollor, dollor
Any idea on DTC Fault then it drops engine power and lowers air suspension?
Looks awesome 👍👍
Interested in the fuel tubing/piping for the doors. Im chasing a leak in the drivers side. I have a cover over my disco when not in use to stop the water but its a right chew putting it on. Ive heard a few people say its the rubber flappy thing that goes over the door stays can let water in also.
Your front headlight grills,are they plastic or metal
They are plastic. I believe made by britpart.
This is definitely not for the faint hearted mate, really well done, brilliant part 1&2 . There isn’t another vid half as good detail as this, it’s a job I’ll definitely tackle after watching this! Cheers and look fwd seeing more mends on the Disco 2 👍✅
I tried to cover as much as possible. Another pair of hands would have have been great as they could have held the camera. Its not as hard as you think. Just get get everything you need before you start the job.👍
Awesome need to do mine and my sons looking good 👍
