The D2 ACE operates on both front and rea axles, both rams are on the o/s the front one can be seen in the front wheel arch. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current
2009 TDCi 90 current
2018 Discovery 5 HSE lux current

Interesting. I always thought the D2 was rear only. Learn something every day  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

D2 had rear air only. Possibly that

Hello,

I managed to reroute the serpentine belt, without the ACE pump inline.
It merely uses a shorter belt. That was the easy part.

I'm curious about the software solution to shut off the ACE system. My local Landrover specialist said it wasn't possible?
What system can be used to deselect the ACE option? Does anyone perhaps have a screenshot? (ROVACOM/TESTBOOK or equivalent).

I got a used front sway bar and measured it and seems to fit without any problems, just a little of work. The rear bar seems to be a bit more work, as you need to lift the body slightly. The official way would be body off, but it should be possible to loosen the body bolts and gently lift the rear of the body. By this means there should be enough clearance to get the bar out.

This will also enable me to remove the dead weight counter weight parts on the back of the car.
Still thinking of pursuing it further from there... I have a Bowler EXR-S Rollcage lying around

To maybe answer my own question, I bought a non-ace belt (8PK2012) and tried to fit it by bypassing ace pump, but it's way too short.

What am I missing?

You need a new alternator, mounting bracket, tensioner and belt to fit to the 2.7

Or, I've a new OEM pump on the shelf
