    TD5 electric heated windscreen

    so if I were to fit a switch and relay (and check fuses as you say) and then IF my windscreen were to need replacing and I told the nice people it was a heated one then, job done. I mean in this cold weather it could easily develop a nasty crack :D Of course it'd need enabling via ECU but I...

    Good Vibrations, not so good :(

    mine does that too, i think it's supposed to. TC light will flash on when it's activated and the noise comes with it as it stops wheels spinning, the braking thing is a little odd a first but you get used to it, especially in this weather, I tend to still use cadence braking too to avoid the...

    Discovery 2 swing away tyre carrier?

    I use 'Thule' cross bars. Bought them for my Zafira but they fit the Disco. Easy to fit and adjust and have lockable clamps on each end. I only have a roof box on it so I guess it depends what you want on the roof too. There's an online shop 'theroofboxcompany' or similar that are good for...

    Discovery 2 steering wheel controls

    Simple question :confused: Are the controls on the steering wheel supposed to illuminate when the lights are turned on? never thought about it before but I was out the other night and fumbling around and it dawned on me that on other cars I've owned (non LR) with these controls they light...

    Who's got it, and how much have you got!!!

    Beds/Cams border...woke up with about 4" on the drive and about 5"-6" on the bonnet. Left the Zafira at home and took the Disco to work. 1500-1750 rpm all the way (25 miles)...even treated myself to a power slide in the carpark when I got here

    Play on steering - what's normal?

    that's a relief, i only had 'normal' cars before the Disco and we have Vauxhall Zafira too and that has zero play in the steering. I had a Pug 307 before the Disco and everything was loose on that heap so not a good comparison, only thing it had going for it was comfortable seats. Will not...

    New to LR, new to Landyzone

    Got my 1st LR, a 2000 Disco V8 Auto GS, with air suspension about 2 months ago. Plumped for the V8 mainly as it was so much cheaper than the TD5 and it was a low mileage car, equivalent TD5's where about 70% more expensive, oh and it does make a really nice sound :)...this weekend have fixed a...
