    Disco 2 What model do I have?

    Mine has sunroofs but obviously that could be as part of the spec or added as an option.

    Disco 2 What model do I have?

    I've used the search function here. I've used the equipment list on Parkers and this: http://www.discovery2.co.uk/discovery_spec.html and I still can't work out for sure which Discovery I have. It's a Y-reg yr2000 model and the closest fit I can get is a Millennium but it doesn't say that...

    ContiCrossContact AT or Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S (G012)

    I had Geolander G012 on my old Nissan X-Trail. I've replaced that with a Disco2 and will be putting the Geos on that when the time comes.

    Disco 2 no chimes at all

    What 'chimes' should get? I also have a Disco 2 (mine's 2000) and get a warning if I leave the lights on but not if I haven't got the seatbelt on. tbh, I'm not sure what else I should be getting and whether I am or not.

    Disco 2 Avoiding knackering your 4 x4

    My take on driving in snow is that tyres are everything. My old Saab with decent M+S tyres on would go past Range Rovers stuck spinning their 'rubber band' slicks. Obviously a 4x4 with decent tyres will be better still. The other thing to bear in mind is that while you have 4 wheel drive, you...

    Disco 2 Fold away seats in boot.

    No you don't. You can MOT a car with missing seats.

    Disco 2 Next dumb question... do you really have to remove the spare wheel to change rear wiper?

    The first thing to say is that I haven't got the replacement yet so not had a proper go but... If I don't remove the spare, can I get the wiper arm far enough from the window to replace the blade? Numpty-proof instructions appreciated.

    Disco 2 All terrains on wet tarmac

    Is it not almost always acting as a diff anyway? Unless driving in a dead straight line on a dead smooth surface, it will be diffing.

    Disco 2 Preferred Key Fob Replacement?

    I am a numpty. It was the spare key I swapped first and it appears the microswitch is missing... no switch, no light, no unlocking. I've just put the new case on my other key and it's working fine. Can you send me details? I'll send my spare off to them. Ta.

    Disco 2 Preferred Key Fob Replacement?

    Hmmm..... another 'partial success'. All swapped over and the unlock button works but not the lock one. It doesn't seem to shove far enough to hit the microswitch.

    Disco 2 Preferred Key Fob Replacement?

    The key blade is attached to the fob. If the Ebay ones last a couple of years and are much of a muchness, I'll go for one of those.

    Disco 2 Preferred Key Fob Replacement?

    I have a 2000 Disco2. If there are different kinds of keys mine is the one with the teardrop shaped fob with two buttons. These buttons themselves were missing from the spare when I got it and the unlock one cracked and fell out of the other one yesterday. I've seen replacements on Ebay with...

    Disco 2 Squealing when accelerating?

    Mine also squeaks a bit when accelerating in 2nd (and very occasionally in 3rd). I have no reason to suspect it's been contaminated with diesel or anything else. Is it on its way out?

    Disco 2 Thoughts on this one?

    The world is not short of '04 Discos at around that price. You really need to drive/inspect it. It's in Burnley, you're in Hinckley. I would step away from this one.

    Intermittent fault

    Is the coolant under excess pressure? I've had the same symptoms before albeit on a completely different car (Ford Galaxy) - it was exhaust gas getting into the coolant. This was the first sign of head gasket problems.

    Disco 2 How to get in without whacking head?

    bit extreme that. I think I may have mastered it now. Two whole days without whacking either head or knee.

    Disco 2 How to get in without whacking head?

    Now I don't want to judge you by my own standards but... Whenever I'm getting into a passenger side it's because I shouldn't be behind the wheel so coordination may be impaired.

    Disco 2 How to get in without whacking head?

    I'm making progress and it's definitely the ducking that helps. I can now get in without banging my head or without banging my knee. I reckon I'll have cracked this within the month.

    Disco 2 How to get in without whacking head?

    I'm definitely getting better and I think it's the ducking that's helping. I seem to be able to get in now without banging my head or without banging my knee on the steering wheel but not both.
