Hello everyone. New guy to the forum & new to Land Rovers but not to autos or German engineering (Bimmer guy too). I just acquired an 02 Disco II from a buddy. This is vehicle #5 so I'm forced to do all my own work. It quit on him one day after a round of golf. Before I get started cleaning up his and 2 shade tree mechanic's mess & fixing this beast I had a few questions. I'll just number them to make it easier to read.. Sorry for the dark Droid pics. By the way, CPS has been replaced & I just downloaded the RAVE manual.




1) What would go (or is supposed to go) next to the a/c compressor? Opposite side as alt. Pic below..

2) I sense I'm missing some relays. R6 had the relay cover off so I put the yellow one on it I found laying under the hood. Anyone have a part # for it? (only yellow relay on top row)

3) Is there supposed to be a relay in R9 (far right, top row)? What about R4 (fan I guess)? Any other relays I'm missing? (far top left? wth is that?) Pics below

4) Is the orange plug between the fuse box and coolant overflow the Land Rover diagnostics plug or is something supposed to be connected to it?

5) What is the plug in the back passenger side cowl and is something supposed to be plugged into it? Pic below

6) Is there more than one inertia switch? pass side firewall, anywhere else?

7) My scanner got code P1884. CAN message WFPDK (DKI) invalid (FFh). Disco battery has been very dead. Charging it now. Towed her about a half mile. Any direction to start? Or clear & see if it comes back?

8) Any good DIY links to the headliner replacement?

9) Dexcool is in her. Should I replace with something else? If so what?

 

Ok someone has got to know the answer to at least a few of my questions..
Anyone?

 

Just give them time. The ywill ocme and the advice is great. I am curious about those plugs as well... just look for discoMike

 

1. That is where the ACE (active cornering enhancement) pump would go, if equipped.
2-3. I don't know off the top of my tired head. If nobody has answered by tomorrow morning, I can spend a few minutes in RAVE and get an answer.
5. That plug is where the heated front windshield connects, if equipped.
6. Only one inertia switch
7. I would fix the battery problem, then clear the network code, and see if it returns.
8. Lots of forum threads here about headliner replacement and/or painting.
9. Lots of different opinions. Bottom line: whatever coolant you use, change it every two years.

 

If no one else has answered by Monday, I'll have some free time and I will do some research on some of the others. As far as the headliner, I was able to get mine done pretty cheap but there is a DIY paint the liner option in the write ups and how to thread.

As a former 2002 owner, you've never reached the level of frustration that a Land Rover will take you to.

 

Don't know if this will help, but this is a pic of my fuse box:

 

I run Dex-Cool simply because the previous owners all used Dex-Cool... they didn't have coolant issues and I haven't either.

 

2. Relay R6 is for glowplugs (diesel only)
3. Relay R9 is the Main Relay, yes it needs to be there, but it is not the far right in the top row. It is the 4th from the right, top row. Relay R4 is for the cooling fan. All of the relays in the 2nd row (all yellow) have the same part number on my vehicle. If relay R8 has the same part number printed on it as the other relays in the 2nd row, I would put it in position R4 for cooling fan. R8 is for the heated front screen which you don't have. Relay R14 (top tow far left) is for ACE (active cornering enhancement, which you don't have)
4. The orange connector is unplugged on mine also. Through RAVE, I found it to be connectors C0377 and C0391, which according to wiring diagrams, are for the ACE (active cornering enhancement) block valve.
