    LPG / Petrol Changeover.

    Disco 2 Auto Box

    are you sure the new box came from a td5 as well. I may be way off but I seem to recall that when they went to the 4.4 petrol the box was lengthen by 15mm to cope with the extra power and allow more gearbox oil. Dont know if this is relevant or not Andy

    Losing Coolant

    I had exactly the same problem from the same place (2000 d2 V8 on LPG) I was using around 1/2 litre a week. I used a leak sealer from euro car parts (can't remember the name , sorry) and this seems to have cured it. I was worried that the sealer would block the rad or just move the problem...

    Remote not working sometimes

    I would say it is a slightly leaking sunroof causing condensation around the receiver which will cause an intermittent short , I currently have the headlining out of mine and now it is dry I dont have a problem.. would recommend getting the eka code which will stop you being stranded Andy

    locked it, wont unlock fob x2 not working?

    this has happened to me recently as well, 1st thing to do is get your EKA code (emergency key access) this should be with your manual if not , take your log book to your dealer . This will get you going if you are stuck. It is a P.I.T.A. as you have to turn the key so many times left and right...
