Thread: What happened to your Discovery 2 today?

You can see how far that fitting had backed out.
Of course my Alemlube transfer pump pooped itself after getting 5 litres into the tranny.
I wonder if the 5l of refrigeration flushing solvent I pumped though it two weeks ago had anything to do with the seals giving out?

Oh well, off to Repco tomorrow to get another pump, (unless I can get a seal kit)
I have a high pressure refrigeration oil transfer pump in the ute I won't be using, it only pumps 70ml/stroke anyway as it can pump against system pressure.
Its used for refilling refrig racks and AC comps while still running.

Took my youngest for a L plate drive in the 4.6. He loved it. Driving the 5 speed is so easy with that much good old fashioned torque. I had a drive too. Love having it back and running so sweetly.

Cheers

Pleased your car only had a hicough, Rick, not a total barf.

Guess what I've been doing not as bad a job as I thought it was going to be

Think I just caught it before it burst so a good save. Had a good look over the rest of the hoses and all looks fine

If you buy an genuine top hose it doesn't hit the AC lines

Yep that's what I'll be getting in the morning

Well mine lives!

The transmission is shifting sweetly, but I'll do a dump, filter and refill next weekend plus take an oil sample.

I now have a bent tie rod to deal with.
Thanks Mr Towie!

I questioned the hook placement
"It'll be right, that's only as a safety, it's pulling off the other one..."

D2 tie rods are a bigger diameter than a Deefer/D1/RRC, but Maxi-Drive are bigger again.
I just needed the excuse.

Hit the towie up for a replacement.
