Disco 3 and me

[red5]

See the shiny new wheel bearing hub? Timken.

See the Disco on it's arse? That's mine, that is.

Compressor given up ghost. Kit ordered. Again.


We will see. Now i have to shuffle cars etc - one Fiest amk3 for sale on beige - can post it here also if anyone is interested?

Cheers,
Sam.

Brake wear sensor routing from hell.
Under the arch liner.
Bloody wire is nearly a metre long. Thanks L-R.

I had to do that on mine - bastards aren't they? Managed to do it by popping a couple of the plastic stud things and prising the liner out of the way just enough. No skin left on knuckles (agin) though.

Indeed. Some bits are genuinely inspired design, some an afterthought.

So, compressor removed, eventually. Pipes all corroded to hell in push for connectors. They are all now on the list of service items for me.

Compressor rebuilt with the exception of one bolt previously overtightened. Filters and granules changed - absolutely sodden. New end cap etc etc.

As usual chassis mounts rotted. At least they are clip on.

So now she has working suspensiom, up, down, adaptive and access! Yay.
Rear arms, turbo actuator and parking sensor(another) next. Hmm..

Why would you do this to yourself???

Does anyone on here know anything about the air suspension compressors on the Disco 2?

[red5]

Why would you do this to yourself???

Well, yes. This.

It drives superbly for a big old bus, the wife likes it, the kids live it. It's a van, towcar, bus.

Ah, that's why.

So,

To take the park sensors out and access the loom you need to remove the rear bumper cover.

Which entails -
Rear lamps out.
Mudflaps off. Which leads to wheels off.
Then rear 1/4-wheel arch trims off. Then bumper cover corners off.
Not without my kit, all safely* at work. Not on a L-R weighing in at 2.7 tonnes with slightly suspect air suspension.

So much squeezing of tiny hands into impossible places leads to RRInner sensor being removed without wheels off. New one plugged in at reading is immediiately 0.01M. FFS.

Harness rubbed through. So, now I need a 2 poster. We have 18 at work. I'm not allowed in to sole-work because of pen-pushers who don't understand distancing/sole-working safety.

It's driving me mad. 'Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'

[red5]

Have a picture whilst I have a beer. It's just started pissing down here. 'On the righteous' and all that relligious claptrap.
