Thread: What happened to your Discovery 2 today?

where the dash 'M' light is on and the 'D' is flashing on the transmission.

Do you mean the dash "N" light?
I cannot recall an M light anywhere.
If so it is most probably that the XYZ switch is out of adjustment, and the fix is to loosen the clip/bolt on the cable and align the dash and selector by putting it in neutral and moving the cable until both the dash and selector say N. It then should be correct in all gears.

I haven't had one flash so I don't know for sure that it is the problem but probably.

I think the "M" lights up when you are in low range and have selected a gear other than "D", If you get the "M" and "S" lights at the same time there is usually an issue with the transmission

Enjoyed exploring the live data feeds on my recently acquired ‘pre- loved’ HAWKEYE diagnostic tool - especially observing the peak inlet manifold pressure of 194 Kpa

My D2 is running real sweet......

I checked all the fluids and gave the rest of the truck a once over then packed it ready for 5 days fishing in Sharks Bay, A bugger of a job but someone has to do it
The Missus is in Perth for a few days so I am going on my own so the pack up didn't take anywhere near as long as it does when she comes along

Sucked out the PAS & ACE fluid out of the reservoirs and refilled with nice new fluid. Don't know if the previous owners have ever changed it but it was black like Coke.

Funny in hindsight - went to change the ACE filter for same reason plus I've been getting what sounds like the Pressure Valve making a hissing sound (bit like a quick air release). No issues removing old one, super easy job. New $60 filter would not go in and I accidentally bent it trying. So I ended up cleaning the old one in petrol and putting it back in. Who was it that said the Land Rover is a money pit? Oh yes, everyone! Good thing it's cute or it'd b out on its ear!

I still have mine sitting in the console,, now you've done that John I've lost all interest..
How on earth did you bend it?

so I started work 90 minutes late!

M comes up when you press the mode button while in low range. The same button that puts the transmission in sports mode when in high range.
