View This Site In Your Own Language. Monday, June 6, 2011. Amigos have left the building. Well just over a week ago I attempted to do the "option B" fix on my 3 amigos lights (HDC, ABS and TC staying on for no apparant reason). I got hold of the instructions for the ABS module fix. From the Virgin Islands LandRover Club. It's a rather long explaination, but well worth the read and very well documented with photos and descriptions. Who bought along his Nanocom. The old fashioned manual (two operators, one...

Add to it all the previous work done and I've pretty well got a fully rebuilt V8 D2 excepting the bodywork! Check on suspect head gasket fault. TK check on coolant system - found to have failed. Full engine strip down. Recommend cylinder heads removed to inspect. Found RH cylinder head gasket had failed. Send heads for pressure test and resurface - returned all OK. Refit parts as listed:. D2 secti...

Kieren's LandRover Discovery II: Nearly there....

It appears one of the head gaskets had a "kink" in it and allowed water to seep through underneath it and into one of the rear chambers. Looks like we caught it in time for it to not have caused any damage to the engine. Still required the engine taking apart though and getting heads pressure checked. Good job though really, because the quality of the last engine rebuid was nothing short of @#$%! Suzuki Alto 1&...

Kieren's LandRover Discovery II: Fucked again!
http://aussieaub.blogspot.com/2010/12/fucked-again.html

So by all accounts it's looking like the original job done was a bit of a bodge. But I'll reserve comment until we get the motor apart and see what the damage is. We're looking at another estimated $4000. Worth of work, but that will depend on extent of damage. Just wish I could afford a TD5 (sob)! The LandRover Discovery II.
