Introducing myself.

Hello all,

Just thought I would introduce my self, My name is Ash and I'm from Tamworth in Staffordshire.
I have just put a deposit down on my first Land rover Discovery 2 Td5 which I will be picking up next weekend.

1st job is a good old clean and shutter valve replacement then a couple of door actuators.

I already have a nanocom to make life a bit easier.

Welcome Ash

Nanocom will make its money back in no time. Can cost just to get an accurate diagnosis, but if you know what it is can be cheap and easy fix most of the time

Hi,
Hopefully it will. My mate has a d2 and we have just put a lift kit snorkle and other bits on it so I has already come in handy for that. Makes life easier having one instead of trying to have to ask people to come and plug one in all the time. As we all know they are money pits and plenty of things go wrong on them .

Hello and welcome to landyzone Ash

Hi and welcome!

A nanocom is a good investment for a disco 2 owner!

Welcome Ash! How much was the nanocom?

Hi mate I paid £427 for it from Nanocom off eBay. I was watching second hand ones going on eBay from £330 to £395 over the last few months and thought to myself I might as well buy new and have 12 months warranty as most were going for about £380. the other thing if you get one second hand is hoping you get all the unlock codes that come with it when you buy it. I'm not sure if you can transfer ownership with them as the owner gets all the emails for updates and new software I believe.

Ah good to know. Would have probably paid for itself in the last year with the amount of diagnoses I’ve needed!

Me and a mate went half's on it as he has had a D2 for a while now and with me knowing I was going to get one it made sense.
The way we looked at it if it cost you £30 to £40 every time you need a diagnostics reading it soon adds up and before you know it its probably not far of the cost of a Nanocom.

I have a quick question for you all as I wasn't sure where to post. I don't know if I'm missing something I have been trying to search for things with the search bar in the top right. there is a post I found before joining on google that was done by Dopey regarding a roof lining fix. I can get it on my phone without being a member but it wont load photos, I thought if I log in it might show the photos. problem is when I try and search for it using the search bar it just comes up saying (the search could not be completed. Please try again later). it still doesn't show the photos on my phone even when im logged it, thanks Ash.

The search is not working at the moment. Site is being upgraded so off til works are complete.

Il fetch it for you now mate. Dopey is on most nights you could just ask him, he is good with upholstery stuff. He later redid the one in the ‘how to’ coz it fell back off but I didn’t tell you that

You are correct - photos in it are off?

Last time site changed a lot disappeared (some for the best ). Hopefully that one will cross over.
Sagging headlining is guaranteed with P38

That would explain it.That's brilliant thankyou really appreciate it. Theres a place in Leicester I spoke to about doing it for me I just need to remove it and they will cover it for me for a good price as I used him to do my Honda s2000 seats. I will send him a message if I get stuck, I wont tell him you told me that
Thank Ash.

There are places that do headlining roughly £200 while you wait. To buy bits already done will cost more than another RR is stupid money.
Getting it in/out is the hardest part if you do that you are 70% done may aswell do it yourself

I rang a few places for prices, The one who did my seats said buy the fabric from martrim that's £60 he will fit it for £120 but if I clean it all up as well so all he does is fit the fabric he will only charge me about £60 to £80 so I don't mind doing the hard work.

Martrim the boys use.

Go over that foam again and again.

When you are satisfied it’s done- go over it again!
Blasted stuff is a nightmare but you have to be thorough or it will sag again the next winter

That's where I'm going to get it from. I might have a go at it that's for the advice I will get a couple of extra spray cans and completely cover it.

You need adhesive that will cope with heat. P38 roof you can cook a chicken in summer on it

I can believe it.Hopefully the stuff martrim supply will be good enough will have to check with them.
