DISCO WITH NO MUSIC (no need to short then)

I have just taken delivery of my new pride and joy. A 94 V8 Disco ES.

Fantastic wagon it is. Easy to drive, comfortable, big enough for the bratz
and a months shopping. Better still I may find it harder to get stuck in the
mud than the old Vitara.

As is usual though there are always little niggles that need to be sorted
when you start driving a strange car. First issue is the CD player under the
passenger seat will not eject the magazine. I press the button, which then
flashes green but nothing else happens. Am I doing something wrong, is there
some secret ritual that I need to perform or is the bloody thing just
F$&%ED.

Any bodies help with this most urgent of issues would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Pete

Dunno about the CD changer, but U made the transition between a Jap reliable
4x4 and a Landy.. We have both, YES, a Vitara, with the non existant boot, U
can't fit a mouse back there, but the car will work until it rots into dust.

So if we need to move some big "stuff", it's over to my noisy, smelly 110,
which although it don't have a CD changer, DOES have a CD player, fitted by
my own fat hands.

I'd extract the CD exchanger, shout at it a lot, throw it at the pavement,
then go back an INSIST U have your old Vitara back.

Your kids may have to move the seats so far fwd that U all have bent noses
to get shopping in, but lets face it, did the Vitara ever really break?

The wifes just passed it's 12 year MOT, it needed 1 CV boot doing, and she
wasn't diddled, cos I put the bagpuss mobile in for her (Bagpuss and
anything pink features big time in the Vitara, I normally will NOT drive
it), and know the garage owner.

But come on, one rubber boot from a 11 year old car for it's MOT.... My 1989
Landy will need SHEDLOADS for it's MOT, my 2 front outriggers are shagged.

Landy peops, don't shout at me, I had a Vitara as well... Hangs head in
shame.. But I did have 3 Landys at the same time as well at the time, and my
ONLY car IS a Landy 110, which I am forever fiddling with, and love very
much (Bagpuss is the wifes, I WILL NOT drive the damned thang with pink
pussy cats looking thru every window)... But the Jap "crap" does make our
fave marque look very bad on the reliability front. In mine the only CD
changer that can break is me, if I don't change the CD LOL

On one of ours we had you slid the CD changer's door open first before you
pressed the button.

Not likely got rid of that crap years ago and the only thing I missed was
the occassional green lane. I did not miss the engine that lacked power
unless thrashed, the roof that took 45 mins to put back on (by which time
the rain had passed) and the bit that really baked my noodle the wiper
switch where indicators should be. Bloody thing, in the four years I owned
that car I never got to grips with that.

Rusted through fuel tank, broken propshaft, snapped timing belt (ouch pain
in pocket jap parts bloody expensive), rusty brake pipe for the very last
MOT before I sold it and the soft top went rotten.

Mine was a 92 too. Perhaps I was just unlucky.

Sometimes you'll find the little door isn't slid open far enough - it's
hard to see what's going on down there. If this happens, the magazine
won't come out. You've probably checked this already, but just make
sure the door is open fully...
