No faults logged in the SLABS, according to the Nanocom. I only winched out twice! The other Discos had 2 inch lifts some has larger tyres 32 inch. I am thinking of getting a lift, Just longer springs maybe, or put air springs in the rear, with a 2 inch spacer.
Sadly the Nanocom's screen broke. I can get a new screen from eBay. Fitting it may be a hassle. I guess the local phone repair place could fit this for me.
Seven of the 8 vehicles on today's trip were D2s. It were a grand sight with all these D2s in convey. What is the collective noun for D2s? A jaunt?

The eighth car was a Nissan Patrol with what looked like a 6 inch lift and 35 inch tyres.

This was my third trip to Toolangi. The first time I did not break any thing on the car!

Collective noun / since there were 7 discos maybe "the seven amigos " or " Refinery of Discos" as in oil refinery

I went over a curb front LHS, and the three amigos chimed in. The broken screen Nanocom states " ...sensor low output. " I think I am up for a new hub. The car has 357k kms on it about 100k kms with me.
But.... Just a new sensor?

Installed an water temp gauge and the allisport tank very good quality on my td5

Does the tank have a level sensor?

Does nanocom actually say LHS? there are 4 sensors, it needs to be specific,, the fronts originally had a 2 part cable and the join was problematic, sometimes just rejoining worked, sometime a new 1 piece cable was needed, sometimes it really was the sensor..

Mostly a new hub.
And yes it does name the sensor

No it's got an glass window. But you can get it with an level sensor, just costs more

When the repaired Nanocom gets back home, I'll be able to see which sensor it is.

DHL to Cyprus AU$127.00 Repair AU$132.00 Ouch!

BTW, if I do get a 50mm lift, I'll need ABS cable extensions? Is this just splice in an extra 50mm of 2 core cable? I bought the 50mm longer brake lines when I change those last year.

I don’t think you need ABS extensions for a 50mm lift. I haven’t got them and it’s been a long time since the lift.
