    Proving Series 2 is MOT exempt

    I have a series 2 landrover which was first registered on 9th January 1960. I believe with the new year, time to get it on a forecourt, time it took to find a buyer, and time it takes to get a vehicle registered, the must have been built in 1959, and would therefore be MOT exempt. Can anyone...

    Discovery 2 TD5 GS 7 Seater Auto

    This car has not been advertised else where. I have now had the drivers seat cushion professionally repaired with a replacement cloth panel, the track rod end has been replaced, and lift kit fitted. And have reduced the price to 4250. I may accept a lower price, but will be removing the winch to...

    Biodiesel-Have you?Do you?Any problems with Bio?

    I've ran my 2000, W reg TD5 disco on bio, and sometimes just filtered WVO. No problems in the past 2 years apart from once in the cold when it was a bugger to start.

    Diff lock on 2004 'Facelift' Model

    I am looking at connecting the diff lock on my year 2000 disco with a push pull cable (a bit like the choke on an old car). Does engaging the diff lock isolate the traction control system?

    Weird vibration and power steering box..

    Not sure about the vibration. My steering box was leaking buckets (about 1/5 of the reservoir a week). I put some steering fluid in it with a 'seal swelling addetive, it seeps a little, but I hardly notice any loss of fluid. If yours is only leaking a little, I'd try some of that first :)

    biodiesel

    I've been running my D2 on and off biodiesel, and sometimes straight filtered used cooking oil. Mix of between 60-90% oil and 40-10% diesel for a good 20k miles. No problems so far :)

    D2 XYZ switch queries

    All...........I've seen a thread somewhere, where it gives you photo'd instructions of how to take this switch apart and clean it up so it works again. I shall try and find it for you........It'll save you £'s to treat your Disco to a new toy :)

    Which tyres by manufacturer?

    How much for the General Grabbers 50 pence? Been told Insa's are good offroad, but put you all over the road on tarmac! Anyone any experience with Kingpins? Cheers.

    Which tyres by manufacturer?

    As the title suggests.......would love some BF Goodrich if I had the money, but looking at Kingpin or Insa's. I'm going to go for AT's as I also do quite a few road miles. Any comments or suggestions of alternatives? Cheers.

    Veggie power

    I probably should filter it more, but I filtered it to 25 microns.

    Veggie power

    mastiff, just to confuse you a bit more, I have a 2000 Disco TD5 with 113K on the clock. Been using biodiesel, straight veg oil, and filtered used oil 50/50 with diesel for almost a year and I've had no problems whatsoever :)

    Veggie Oil 93p

    Used veggie oil is made acidic through using it as a cooking oil. You need to neutralise the acid by mixing caustic soda with methanol, and mixing it with the oil at 65 deg C for about an hour and a half. Let it settle for a day, drain the crap of the bottom, and water washing...

    Fuel Consumption

    Only 22 mpg, but I do have the added weight of a winch, winch bumper, tree sliders, and diff guards.

    Alternative fuels

    Ok, I guess that's a definite NO. How big can the metal particles be? Fuel is so expensive and at 22 mpg combined, its not doing my pocket any good :(

    Alternative fuels

    Been running my 2000 TD5 on and off regular diesel, Biodiesel, aircraft fuel, and straight veg oil with a bit of diesel. Yes, your probably going to tell me I'm nuts. But I have done a good 6000 miles on the alternative fuels with no problems. Question is; has anyone used black diesel and...

    Horns not working!

    Just want to say thanks for all your responses. Horn did not when direct to the battery. New horn fitted and works a treat. There only appears to be one horn on mine....is that right? Cheers, Mark.
