ok - so it's not the relay. Has anyone has a starter fail where it just slowly turns at first and finally starts with no clicking? Last time mine failed I got a rapid series of clicks before the start. This is a lucas starter from atlantic british so maybe it behaves differently that the...
Finally got the heat shield off. Pain in the a** . Starter looked clean at the connections. Cleaned them a bit and still no joy. I read some where else this could be a relay issue? Where is that and how do i test it? Thanks.
yes - i think i will remove the heat shield and clean up that area good. Looks dirty. I am not planning on pulling the starter out. What is nut size/tool needed for the electrical wire that connects to the starter? And i think there is another connector that just pulls off with a pinch...
2000 Discovery 2 - 135K
When starting the truck it hesitates/struggles and then finally turns over. It's totally silent at first, no clicks, nothing. Then turns over after a few seconds.
Just changed the coolant tank and throttle body gasket. I was getting some coolant fluid leaking under...
Ok - so you guys were correct. Small hairline crack on the back of the tank/ top of nipple. Got the new tank and installed. Coolant level dropped again a little after the test drive. Will top off again once it cools. Hopefully that was it. Thanks.

Not sure why these are so great but this is what i ordered. Made in China.
My original one lasted 24 years.
Only thing about aluminum is you can't see the coolant level.
Cracked tank is certainly a possibility. Only leaks when engine is running. How should the hose be routed then? I didn't adjust that hose routing . It's been that way for a long time and that line running to the throttle body is not very flexible so not sure how big of an adjustment I could...

Just replaced throttle body gasket with kit today because I know they fail and it had a slight leak.
I have had an on going coolant leak issue and after doing the throttle body today and starting the truck back up I noticed a pretty substantial drip from what appears...
This leak has me confounded. Can't see any fluids on the ground nor in engine compartment. I don't have a pressure tester. Overflow tank has been low. I filled up to cold level. Son drives to school on secondary roads about 20 miles round trip. Coolant level drops only after a few days...
What coolant for my Disco 2?
I used the Land Rover XLC last time but now I have a leak. Still diagnosing the issue as the expansion tank only seems to go low after a few days. I have a new cap on order to test that first. Meanwhile need to know what pre-mix 50/50 solution I can use to top...
Got her done. Not too bad.
70mm idler pulley goes under the tensioner pulley, Larger goes up top near the alternator.
Hardest part was tightening the fan nut. I went ahead and removed it. I have the 36mm wrench for the fan nut but no tool to hold the flywheel bolts in place. just...
Water pump done at 105K miles so hopefully that's not the culprit. I have 135K on the truck now. Was done back in 2008 so not sure if time is a factor.
Still can't find the torque settings in Rave manual. Saw a you tube video of the process. Stated 37lbs for both the idler pulley bolts and...
