Desert Cat

Hello, I don’t know if it’s the same thing but I had this incident while driving 50mph at the highway as for suddenly this happened Cooper STT pro 265/75-16 tyre manufacturer date is week 19 year 2019

It's not a cut off, the rubber "escaped" underneath the metal ring holding the rubber bag to the plastic base (upper one). Is it repairable? Any good address to fix those in UK or somewhere else? Contitech Germany?

I would like to consult here regarding the RKB101200 failure I had. My GENUINE RKB101200 were starting to drop, so I decided to replace them with two fresh ones. Purchased the BEARMACH OEM - CONTITECH. Well, to be honest they look different from the GENUINE one I have, but decided to give it a shot and replace them. All went well up to the point the compressor was starting to raise the chassis, the rear right air spring burst right away following the rear left. Up until today I had ALWAYS used the GENUINE Land Rover parts while changing my Air Springs with no issue including changing in the trail when one failing. Does anyone encountered such issue? What bother me the most they BOTH failed so it might be a manufacturing failure? What do you people recommend?

Your ideas are very successful. Further more, opening the intercooler hoses and seeking for tons of oil, gladly I didn't find a drop, dry as a desert as should be (2 years old turbo) so it's not the way to go. I decided to go the "electric way" as I was told by several forum members all over the world (yes, UK, US and OZI...). After verifying I don't have excessive amount of oil in the ECU red connector, I had removed all the sleeves surrounding the wires going from connector C0171 to the ECU, and closely examin for any physical damage, well I didn't find any, but I had uses excessive amount of carburetor cleaning spray all over the C0171 connector all over, having ANY trace of oil to come out, sprayed also the wires themselves, making it easier to observe for any physical damage without the greasy layer they had. After cleaning all electrical connectors both C0171 engine harness side and ECU side C0158, i headed for the test drive. As I was experienced from the past, climbing with the front left wheel high enough to cut-out the engine (~ 1 meter rock) this time, surprize, the engine was still running ! but with very slight misfiring. Drove back home and realized the logic behind engine cut-off / misfiring while the engine was tilted to the right (left front wheel up, engine tilted to the right), the injector loom is soaking with oil under the engine cover. No escape for the fifth injector loom replacement...

2001 Discovery TD5, black smoke while engine starts to choke. Same behaviour when tank is 1/2 or full. Replaced for a new BEARMACH OEM fuel pump - no change. I have a NANOCOM connected, and right after the engine cut-out I get a message "all five injectors (1-5) output drive peak charge is too long". Slided back from the steep rock I drove on with left front wheel to simulate the cut-off with engine off, closed starting switch and re-start, it start immediately. I had some suspicious with the following: 1. Genuine Fuel filter - was replaced- symptom 1 was happening, symptom 1 was happening. 2. Replaced fuel pump - OEM Bearmach - symptom 1 was happening, symptom 2 was gone. 3. Bypass the Interia switch - symptom 1 was happening, symptom 1 was happening. all five injectors (1-5) output drive peak charge is too long This is what I found on the www to check: 1. Check the ECU Earth - Not sure how to do this... 2. Check the Main Relay under the passengers seat - Not sure which relays. 3. Check for Oil on Red ECU Plug and Clean - Done, very little oil before cleaning - No change 4. Check Battery Voltage is Between 9V & 16V - Done, in range. 5. Test Injectors Using Nanocom - OK when idle 6. Check Cylinder Balances with Nanocom - balanced on idle - NOT balanced during cut-out. 7. Check both ECM Connectors - Both OK no oil - Done - No change 8. Use Injector Cleaner - liqui moly diesel injector cleaner super - Done - No change 9. Check Circuit Integrity from ECM to injector harness via engine harness connection - How to perform this Any other ideas?

Its started a week ago, while climbing a seep hill at the desert, the engine was cut off like the fuel ended. Closing the switch and restart the engine, it start immediately with no hesitation, no pedal was needed. while driving a steep slope down, no issue with engine, all is well. Drove home for 100KM up and down on the roads, no problem occurred, normal gear change and top RPM for gear change was 4200RPM as normal from my 7 years experience with this car. I can reproduce the cut-off each time I step on a high rock with my front left wheel, then the engine cut-off, doing the same with the front right wheel the scenario does NOT happen Driving fast in the round-about fast enough (Left hand side driver) the car gets a big roll over to the right, the engine cuts off. So I have two actions help me reproduce this engine cut-off: 1. Climbing a large rock with front left wheel. 2. Driving fast in a round-about. I had some suspicious with the following: 1. Genuine Fuel filter - was replaced- symptom 1 was happening, symptom 1 was happening. 2. Replaced fuel pump - OEM Bearmach - symptom 1 was happening, symptom 2 was gone. 3. Bypass the Interia switch - symptom 1 was happening, symptom 1 was happening. Maybe Fuel Pressure regulator? Electric issue?

2001 Discovery 2, had replaced both sides front windows regulators. All went well but noticed the CHANNEL ASSY - of the front doors glass were badly rusted to the bone.. I know there is the ASR1681 for the rear doors, any Lnad Rover P/N for the front glass doors?

As looking into the OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER UNLIMITED bulbs, the relevant model is 64193NBU - Link to technical info-Bulb family sheet BULBs are P43T mount display the following: it's a 60/55W 1650/1000 ln power While the "Off-Road" is an OSRAM 62204 It's a 100/90 W 2900/1700 lm in power The lumen difference is very significat here the Night breaker is 5A while the "Off-road" is 8.3A Do you recomend replacing the bulb socket to a ceramic one? link

Can I fit an OSRAM 80/110W bulb as a replacement on a 2001 D2 headlamps? It's a 2001 Discovery with glass headlight. Bulb specs

I ride a 2001 discovery TD5 After locking the central diff, driving on hard surface (parking lot) there is a mechanical noise of engaging teethe in the transfer while driving with steering wheel all the way right or left. unlocking the central diff, driving under the same environment, noise is gone. I was assuming it's to be the other way around, noise from center diff while it's open, but no... Any idea?

I ride a 265/75R16 tires. Could a 7.5R16 snow chains can fit on this tire size?

It's a bit old topic, buying from Melling this pump is safe, and not a cheap copy?

There are the genuine for 80gbp for UBP101601 Britpart or bearmach for 35gbp I know the britpart is a no-no, how is the Bearmach?

Would like to replace my Auto-gearbox oil cooler pipes before they burst... Is there a real difference in quality between the Land rover 85GBP "Genuine" to the BRITPART 34GBP "OEM" ? Genuine for 75GBP while OEM for 35GBP You don't do this every day, I have 300K on my vehicle tending towards the "genuine" but I not 100% there is a real difference in quality. UBP101601 UBP101610

Did anyone added an additional oil cooler in parallel of the stock one, connected to the gearbox in front of the main radiator? https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/files/resized/medium/M/img/m_oc10_10bsp1.jpg
