    I THINK the SRD000150 was 4wd lock lever enabled, and the SRD500070 had looser fault reporting.

    But.. My memory is pretty sketchy these days.

    And they don't always have the one that the VIN suggests they should.

    Never a truer word...... Currently having a "debate" on a FIAT page. People tell me that their car has duch and such an engine, therefore it must be factory... on a nearly 60 yo car! Who knows what's happened to it.. But, mine's low mileage so the engine must be original.... Yeah, right. 60s level speedos were, of course, tamper proof...

    Meanwhile, back to D2s. Nothing has happened to mine. It's sits sullenly and reproachfully, while I go mad unravelling the bloody rats the PO of my OKA called wiring, behind the instruments etc. Found a real rats nest while I was at it. At least the occupant was not to blame for any wiring issues, just ate most of the foam insulation off the heater. But that doesn't work anyway... Just like a big Defender, really.

    Engine is coming out of the D2 when I gat the time and strength, so not tomorrow then.

    Just a few. The fuel shut off wire was plugged into a warning light socket. Fell out once, that caused some panicked head scratching. That second pic? They're all live, under a glove box thing with no box. No cover over it at all. Bodywork ( if you can call it that ) all around. That is NOT how I want to find my missing ten mill spanner. It's all connected directly to the cars main 80 amp fusible link, which is one way of turning everything off, I guess.
    I really needed a new challenge at my time in life. Bloody glad the trip to the corner country has been postponed.

    Well the white wagon let me down (sort of) my daughter was using it while I gave her Getz a bit of love (timing belt, plugs, water pump, coolant flush, pads and rotors all round)

    The idea was I'd return it when I flew out for work on Sunday, anyway she calls Thursday morning "I can't unlock the car and the unlock button has fallen inside the fob!" I'd finished the Getz so off to Perth with the spare key, swapped vehicles and homeward bound again in the Disco. Got home, yep, the little button on the circuit board had come off, no worries, I've got a roll of like 50 of them ready (Aliexpress) Of course, I couldn't get the switch to solder back to the board, tried a few tricks, none worked.
    Fine, I've got a couple spare keys/boards, just need to code one of them. As I run an old Nano 1 things took a lot longer and didn't want to work tried again next day after referring to AULRO to the correct directions, finally got it working as it should

    But, now when I put any key in the ignition I get like 6 'Bongs" I've no idea how I turned them on, even less idea how to turn off, so I'm open to suggestions...

    Apart from that, it's trucking along nicely, the young blokes red truck is working well and sometime in the next 6 weeks I'll start on the Blue rescue D2 (It had been sitting for at least 6 years with an oil cooler leak, still starts and runs well, absolutely stock as a rock and only 230,000 on the clock)

    Land Rover life, the gift that keeps on giving...

    cheers
