Other what have u done on ur disco today

Yes, me too.... Will find out the weekend.

I fink me clutch master or slave is on the way out so I'll need to replace them soon.
Or just cut a bit out of the carpet beneath the clutch pedal

Been spending weeks removing cataloy from the previous owners attempt of body work
he had smoothed out all the panels filled in the grove along the doors bonded & smoothed
the wheel arches on total mess tbh…...






Arches painted in bed liner paint 1st coat

Fitted some drainage tubes on the back of my headlights , hopefully will help with slight condensation

Also fitted some heatshrink on the ends , only heated one end so water will have a lot of trouble backing up the tube

Also put a cable tie on the washer bottle filler tube , one wasn’t fitted so wondered why it moved , another little job done

New discs and pads fitted on each corner.
Now it stops as well as it goes.

My buddy visiting us from Germany brought some snake oil for my V8...

Brimmed the tank for £84 on the M5.

Just finished a 300mi jaunt.

TD5 is very quiet at 70-80mph.

Oh and also re sealed the sunroofs.

Always wondered how much it would take to fill it, I use about 30 quid a week so that's all I put in
the most ive stuck in is 60 although it wasn't empty.

She was just 'orf the red.

When she's pretty much empty it takes £97 to brim it till the needle is pointing at the sky

I like to fill and forget for 3 weeks! Or 3 days depending! lol

Count yourselves lucky...
over here it costs me £120 to fill the tank and I only get about 500 miles from it.

Hi mate

How’s the new disco doing buddy , have u managed to work out the mpg yet

Im getting around 25/6 around town, on a run 31/2 mpg

Winter time around town it drops , think it’s because the FBH kicks in

Don’t know if u saw got a small obd2 monitor which will be interesting how they compare with the onboard mpg display or liometer in other words , lol

Glad I’ve managed to start getting the dashboard back together

Hiya Gary!

everythings great how u doin'?

She's getting 26 Town and around 30 on the Mway..

Which isn't too bad..

Considering she's a Auto D2!!

They make great motorway cruisers at 70mph and some more without issue!

Mine costs around £110 to fill, think it was 82 x litres / 18 gallons

I have no idea how big the Disco 2 tank is TBF i'll have to check the manual!

The most I can get into it is £100 and at that it's trying to come out the filler neck lol

Do you run it down to empty?

Not bad thks

Indeed, think thats a good return considering there shaped like house bricks , soon notice dropping mpg around 80mph

I normally stay in the 1st lane , put the cruise control on and sit around 65/70 mph , don’t need to rush anywhere so poodle along with the radio on

Agree , such a nice place to be on motorways , well pleased how quiet and comfortable it is

Oh i'm also thinking of getting the Alive Stage 1 map done..

Being a 10p though I have to send off the ECU!! Ehh i'm sure i can get round it!!

Ran it down as far as I dare, only done that a few times to get the average mpg , like to always have a min quarter tank

Once I plug that monitor in I’ll do another comparison , tank fill, onboard computer , obd monitor , will be interesting to see how close they are to the tank fill/ drop

The D2 and above make very nice motorway cruisers.

The fastest i've gone is 72mph he best MPG is at a steady 60 with CC on..

Bizarrely

The P38 produced the best MPG when it was right at max torque 2600rpm IIRC which was 75mph. 24mpg
