Dear all, hello!
Happy new year.
I’m James, new to discovery 2 ownership, I’ve been lurking on several forums over the past couple of months doing bits of reading on various things relating to discovery ownership.
I’ve got a 2000 discovery 2 td5 (Es) as a project, hopefully to re mot and run as a daily driver. So no crazy modifications yet... but I do have a small list of things to do.
I’m a teacher by day, but come from the world of classic mini ownership and diy-ing. I’ve built a few mini engines etc so am fairly handy, but they are not as complex as the discovery- I don’t think I’ll rebuild a td5 yet!
I’m enjoying the bolt apart nature of the thing and the space to work under it!
I’ve a question too about warning lights, which I’ll post in the appropriate section.

Welcome to the looonyzone.
A few things to make sure of on the D2.

Make sure you get the EKA code.
Get a second working key and fob , if you do not have a spare.
Make sure the key works in the drivers door.

Cheers

Thanks for the advice - I do have a spare but the buttons won’t work - the red light flashes but no lock/unlock. It will start the car if the other key has been pressed to take off the immobiliser. I presume the bcu has forgotten the key and it needs re coding with nanocom?
Where do I find this EKA code?

Thanks all for the friendly welcomes!
James
 
Best to use a Nanocom as the EKA can be changed (by Nanocom) in which case the LR dealers records will be wrong.
I had mine changed to something memorable to me and easier to input and then recorded it in the D2s paperwork.
