FWIW I used the ground loop isolator.

 

With the rain we've been having the last few days and the fact the Disco is parked in the garage as opposed to the barn lately I decided to dig into a couple minor issues this truck had when we bought it back.
First problem was the passenger front window would always go up but was really finicky to get it to go down. Believe it or not, there was a small spider smashed in the contacts! 😆
A good clean and she's good as new!
Second issue was the drivers rear door...which actually has 2 faults.
The first being the window didn't work at all from either switch, and the second being the door locks under power but doesn't completely unlock.
The lock is a simple adjustment issue but the window motor is fried. Pulled the motor out and took it apart and one of the carbon brushes is about gone. I ordered a new motor.

For what reason I don't know, I only took 1 picture, which is very unlike me. I usually take way too many and have to dig through them to find one I want to post.

 

I love realistic “builds” like this. I am known for having a Jeep as my off road machine and the Discos (the D2 is my flavor) as winter drivers, but I am falling back to oldish Land Rovers as really being a great choice as a machine to build if you are going any sort of distance to get to the destination and want to do so in comfort.

I say this because the Discos (1 and 2) retain a level of simplicity that they can realistically and affordably be fixed on the trail or near to it while retaining a level of luxury and comfort others in a similar class cannot. As my wife and I have said of her hotrod Sport (her second), you can get more luxury, more tech, more truck, but not in one vehicle. This is the appeal of Land Rovers to me.

If I didn’t have my Jeep that is well modified to my needs already, I’d probably be building a D1. In the mean time I’ll live vicariously through you. Well done and keep it up.

 

Thanks for the kind words longtallsally.
I am a former wrangler owner and while I still like the older models the Discovery, in my opinion, is superior in almost every way. For what we use it for I think the only advantage I can think of is price and availability for jeep parts.
That being said my son will start driving next year and he LOVES old wranglers. I do believe there will be another one in our driveway in the near future 😂
