Hi Everyone I've been looking and couldn't find a good MAF test, so I though I'd post this. 1) First, you need an OBD2 reader that can read SAE codes (ie a base minimum of Intake Air Temperature (IAT), Air Flow Rate and RPM. 2) Connect your OBD2 reader and get: a) The RPM your engine is...

Hi everyone, Sorry, but I could help the title :) I've got a bad coolant leak at the back end of my 99 D2 and I've got coolant literally pouring out down from the tranny housing. I've also got little bits of coolant on the stubs that stick out at the back of the block (where the block meets...

Hi all, As again, I'm probably asking a really stupid question :) I did a stall test on my 99 D2 and followed the instructions to the T. Put it into D, pressed the accelerator to the floor (slowly) and saw that it reached 2000 RPM. Whole accelerator pressing operation took around 4 seconds...

Hi all, Just went underneath to check what nipples I have to grease and I noticed something that I haven't really noticed before. On the rear differential, there's a bit of angle plate bolted to the bottom of the diff with two large rubber "whatever" (around 3" in diameter) and this bit of...

Hi all, Back from a long break while I've been head down, ass up...as usual :) On a drive recently, I've noticed that my 99 D2 is taking much longer to change into 4th gear. I'm hitting 60km/hr (37 Mph) and it's still in 3rd. If I take it to around 72-75km/hr (45-47Mph) it changes into 4th...

Hi all, I have been doing heaps of research re OBD2 and I keep coming across conflicting information. For example; using software from obd-2.com, some people say you can hook your laptop directly to your OBD2 connector under the dash using a simple serial cable (found this on this board on a...

To all who may get trapped: Don't believe the torque settings for tightening up spark plugs. Use the method you have been using all your life - the "feel" or "nip" method :) For 28 years I haven't damaged one plug (and I've replaced a few), however this time I thought "why not, I'll use the...

Hi all, I'm not sure if anyone can help me out but I'm having an issue with my 99 D2 V8. Basically, when I start it in the morning, it runs very rough and if I put my foot on the accelerator while stationary, it splutters and misfires. When it's warmed up then it doesn't splutter (most times -...

Hi everyone. I thought someone may be able to help me out :) I have a 99 D2 and I noticed that it had milky coolant. I thought "oil's getting there via a head gasket" and was worried, however a mate of mine said "not to worry - it's only oil in your coolant and not the other way around"...

Hi again everyone :) Thanks to all who answered my previous post - it will certainly save me $$ :) I have another issue with my 99 Disco II - the left hand rear side is lower than the right side by about 1.5". I have airbags and was wondering if it was possible to adjust something on the left...

Hi All, I was wondering if someone can please help me out. I have a Disco Series II (99) and I thought it had a sqeaky fan belt. One person suggested it could be an idler bearing and another told me it could be the front prop shaft. Today I looked at the front prop shaft and I don't think...
