    Tyre Pressure

    Hi, I have just had a set of four new tyres on my Discovery 2 year 2000. These are the General Grabber AT2 (255/55 R18) tyres. Please advise what the tyre pressure should be for the front and back when used on road/moterway? Thanks.

    Alarm / Central Locking

    I have just tried to start the car again to see if the problem still persists - some how magically all seems to be fine. I'm glad it is. Just out of curiosity, what does the flashing 'P' and the flashing crossed 'D' mean - I could not see any information about this in the handbook?

    Alarm / Central Locking

    I seem to have a new issue now! The central locking is now working, but when I put the key in the ignition and turn to position 2 or start the engine, the dash has a flashing 'D' and then 'P'. What does this mean please.

    Alarm / Central Locking

    Alarm on my Discovery 2 V8 year 2000 (Petrol). Last week the Alarm sounded for no apparent reason whilst the car was parked. I used the remote to switch it off, then tried to unlock and lock the car using the remote. The alarm sounded once when I pressed the lock button on the remote, but the...

    General Grabber AT2 4x4 in 18inch

    Not really, a Discovery is what I need! I just want to get a right balance between their on/off-road capability and obviously cosmetic looks. Instead of getting tyres that look out of proportion for on-road use.

    Hissing sound

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

    Hissing sound

    I initially thought that too, but that sound only appears on the odd occasion, not every few seconds.
  20. G

    Hissing sound

    Cannot hear it when moving due to engine and road noise, but is heard when stationary and in any gear (automatic). I thought it was the self-levelling sound, but this hiss appears every 10-12 seconds.
