    mea culpa Philip A has bought a DIESEL

    Ok , I can hear the derision already. The V8 lover has bought a D2 TD5.
    Today I bought a 2002 TD5 auto with 135KK on the clock from Gumtree Central Coast.
    2002 Land Rover Discovery | Cars, Vans & Utes | Gumtree Australia Gosford Area - Erina

    It is STOCK AS A ROCK, with nothing ever replaced eg original springs shocks etc. It has a service record about every 5KK or so!
    It is not pretty.
    It has a graze on one rear quarter and a dent in the RH rear corner and the bonnet has several spots form flying fox droppings..

    However it goes really well, and I tried out the hill descent with accompanying clackity clacks so the ABS works.
    It is a 2002 so no CDL and it has 18 in wheels with brand new crap Chinese tyres.
    The flares are whitish but no big deal.
    I don't know which model so anyone know?
    The side steps have to go , but look factory with one mount looking like a replacement bolt to the body mount. There doesn't seem to be any rust around the skylights and the roof lining has arab tent syndrome.

    There is a number of oil leaks ( surprise!) with one looking to come from a right angle union high on the timing case. Also drips on the LT230
    No oily smell to water , no diesel smell on dipstick and doesn't seem to be making oil. No warped manifold and seeing no misses etc no oil in loom.( for now)
    Aircon works and displays show 16 C but not very cold so needs regas.

    One funny thing the remote lock unlock does not work, although the light goes on. One button is missing. The seller reckons it has been this way since his parents bought it 7 years ago before passing it on to him. What is it likely to be ? any ideas.? my uneducated thought is that the immobiliser has been disarmed in the BECM. 2 keys.
    Anyone know what model it is? I thought I saw LT mentioned somewhere in the certificate from revs, but now cannot find it.
    Ah well , all comments welcome and any ideas .

    Regards Philip A

    Smile ooh ahh

    Philip, at last I may be able to pass something on to you...

    D2 diesel is a very nice vehicle and it will be much less of a handful than RRC. Oil leak from oil feed to vacuum pump. Probably replace 20c 'o' ring will solve the leak - or just nip it up. Get a Nanocom or something similar for easy diagnostics and fault clearing.

    Get RAVE2 and have a read... hours of fun!

    Welcome from the other side

    Side steps look to be genuine factory of aftermarket copy there of.

    I'm think the 18 inch wheels are not original but fitted later. The pattern looks like those from the 03/04 update. Being a 5 seater and 02 I would say it is one level above standard. There was a stripper version that year with steel wheels, no wheel flares and steering wheel audio etc, if I recall correctly. Higher spec versions had 7 seats and ALS rear suspension. I'm not sure when they went from the S/ES terminology to the later S/SE/HSE Model rankings that the update model used.

    I can't immediately explain the key. Unlike the late classic range rovers and disco 1 there separate buttons for lock (small) and unlock (large). Still confuses me coming from a single button remote. The problem could be something as simple as a poor electrical connection.

    Get a nanocom and see if there is a signal being received by the BCU from the key and go from there.

    Cheers

    Steve

    remember you no longer need to worry about how close the next servo is when your driving out of the one you just filled up in.

    Hi Philip,

    Sounds like you've scored a pretty decent buy.

    If you can PM me the VIN I'll have a look on Microcat and see what build information there is.

    The wheels appear be the "Hurricane" 18 x 8" rims that were available as an option on the 2002MY.

    cheers
    Paul

    No not a Cheep, though I was really very impressed with a JK4Dr Wrangler 2013 Rubicon that a young guy bought to show me the other day.

    I don't have a cool 50K to spend and my wife has forbidden anything with little windows and a high dash. She didn't like D3 D4 to sit in as she reckons its too low. The D2 is really like a modern RRC but has a Glovebox!

    I have to say I am looking forward to prepping the D2, although $200 plus for a battery cradle is a lot. Snorkel, 16 inch wheels, CDL, will keep me occupied for awhile.
    There seem to be a lot on ebay but most in Mexico City.
    Regards Philip A
