Curious:

did you replace all the brake bulbs with LEDs(incl the highmount one)?

if so, does the cruise control work?

Had this issue with my D1 recently, then it hit me why it played up and then stopped working.
Replaced the highmount with a std incandescent and all good again.
(ie. CC thought that the brake lights were all busted, so wouldn't come on).

I haven't looked into LEDs for the D2 yet(as mines not yet road going).

But the D1 is different in some ways(park/brake combo, as opposed to the D2's separate units), and I finally got all LEDs other than the highmount.

Got the D2 back on the road again...

Replaced rear ACE pipes
Replaced rear anti-roll bar links - the one on the ACE actuator breaking was the cause of all my drama
Replaced ACE pump - the original self destructed after losing all ACE fluid
New serpentine belt
New belt tensioner
Replaced the vacuum hoses on that thing that is connected to the turbo while I was in the area

Filled the ACE fluid up, took it for a drive with lots of rocking to bleed any air.
Got back and had to top up the fluid but a nice turbulence in the reservoir and so far can't see any leaks.

back to the thread - mine got wet today.
For the first time in a long time it rained out here (only a little bit). More to come hopefully

I can't get back on topic. As my lovely wife wrote of my D2, I'll live vicariously through you all.

First time without a landrover in decades.

****.
I take it she's ok?

That sucks big time. [bigsad]

The big silver lemon continues to make Lemonade,, unlike Nicks Mighty Army Perentie that failed to start this morning [bigrolf]

Yeah she's fine thankfully. Disco was a write off because the chasis got tweaked. Still drove but was crab walking a little.

No, didn’t replace the high mounted stop bulb and haven’t used or tried the cruise control since.
Everything is working fine (so far). The LED indicators did fix the trailer light flashing due to the decrease in power demand.
The trailer light was flashing due to the additional indicators on the bull bar.

Spent a couple of hours prepping the block for the new head then flattening the exhaust manifold

This may start an argument....
Installing a 78c thermostat vs a 82c in my Td5 .... will this impact the ECU or have no real difference? Discuss.

Did the unthinkable! Purchased a “tuff terrain” snorkel. Ordered Friday night. Arrived Tuesday morning. Looks fine. Will check out the template etc next week when I install. Will leave you all some feedback too. Most of the complaints I read about were templates and postage related. Wish me luck. (Oh, also HAD to buy a Dremel to do the install!![emoji6])
