Hello All Landy people.
My name is Gary and i live in Lancashire.
The only car I have had before that was 4x4 was a Nissan X trail enjoyed that but the engine was stuffed.
Move on a couple years and naffed off with electric handbrakes and economy mode on my out going Citroen C5 Exclusive.
Today I have bought a 2003 Landrover Discover 2 5TD Auto.
It has been modded a bit ecu revamped by Storm Tuning and 2 inch lift and on and on.
I love it, it goes really well and It's in nice condition and I look forward to using it.
Its my everyday car..
Gary

welcome to the looneyzone.

As I always say to new D2 owners.

Downlaod a copy ofr the RAVE manual.
Find / make a friend who has a hawkeye or nanocom.
If you do noot have one, get a second workiing key with fob.
Make sure the drivers door lock barrel works.
Get the EKA code and make sure it works.

Cheers

@Wopperty


Have a read of the alarm attachment here. Also gives details of where you can get it from .
https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/handy-buying-alarm-info.311291/

Nanocom or hawkeye are the leading suppliers for diagnsotics that work on the D2 TD5.
