    4.6 - 4.0

    Dont know about the ECU but the engine will fit. My mate and I both have American spec V8 D2s. They have the 4.5 RR engine fitted. The only problem we have, and I guess it wont ever apply to you is the Spanish traffic system will not accept that a Disco has a 4.6 engine. Makes registration...

    Upgrade in car Entertainment

    Cant see how that works... A PC in the car? You must have a sat link download, and there must be a charge for that. I can see it working in a major city with free Wi Fi spots all over the place. Must work on the same system as the trains work on.. You can plug your PC into a socket inthe...

    sagging rear step

    Thats a good price. I searched all over for one for mine and ended up paying over a hundred quid from the main dealer. Note of caution.. The D2 piston is slightly different length from D1. I read that on a thread weeks ago.

    Discovery 2 Aircon facia

    My aircon controls are solid with no lights. I saw another post where the guy had lights on his aircon temp controls.. I aint got them either, both appear solid.

    Tyres for 18" wheels

    I .am running in the Andalucian hills on 255/55R18 General Grabbers. Only got them because they were the only all terrains I could get in the size I needed. They are fine. The only issue I have is when on tarmac the road noise is much louder than I expected

    Can't reach the pedals.

    Our local garage fella has his own solution to the problem. He is only about 5 feet tall and the same width ! He has a Landcruiser. He has bolted wooden blocks onto all the pedals to enable his feet to reach them. I drove it the other week and it feels odd. Perhaps if had shaped the blocks to...

    air suspension on td5 1999 advice please

    First things first..The system is self adjusting i.e. it automaticly senses the load in the vehicle and the height it should be at. This is done via the ride height sensors. You have no control over this, it all controlled for you. You can raise and lower the height from the dash for offroad use...

    cat removal

    What benifit could you obtain by taking off the Cat. Its a 17 year old petrol V8, it will need all the help it can get to pass emissions. I can see the benifit/logic in a diesel... but petrol V8?

    Engine Swap assistance needed.

    Perhaps the logic is lost on me...If you know fuel prices are high,and your not happy with that, and you want a diesel, why buy a V8?

    Blinking red light!??

    If you sit in the car and use your key fob to take the alarm off the red light should stop. I get mine on by accident if the key fob is knocked in my pocket. However it will still start and drive.....but when you turn it of again it wont start and when you attempt to start the alarm goes off. No...

    A new Disco for the house hold ...

    Gotta go with meego on that one. Mine is 8 years old, used everyday (all day) in the most harsh semi desert conditions. Looks and drives like new. Maintained properly, polised with Auto Glym and gets a hosepipe on it once a week. Had a renault Kangoo 4X4 before this from new, fell apart after 5...

    Facelift side indicators

    Thanks Sturox, all is now clear. I take it from your set up that the UK spec has a separate sidelight ( under the amber indicator light). Mine has the sidelight incorporated in the larger of the beam lights. I guess for the US they had a choice of amber or white for what is your sidelight and...

    Easy job or not?

    Old Skool tip the fella who showed me how to do it. When you take the old disc off rub away all the rust on the hub with a wire brush and then emery paper until they shine. He reckoned that the rust made the new disk sit uneven and wear early. I couldnt see the point but got on with it. Took for...

    Facelift side indicators

    I have an American Spec D2 with facelift. Strange the things you never notice. I have two amber indicator lights in the headlamp cluster, what could be a sidestrip and a repeater on the wing. Only one of the indicator lights operate. Whats the second amber for ? Maybe the americans have two...

    Disco Air Suspension

    Give a thought to buying them in UK and getting them Posted to you. I think Paddocks or Devon 4x4 ship worldwide. I did it and it cost me 10 pounds for shipping. Failing that get a mate in UK to buy them and post them on.

    Parcel Shelf for a Disco 2 (Black)

    I get round the problem by getting stuff sent to my mate in UK. He just changes the address and gets DHL to send it on. A lot of people out here do it that way, costs about 20 quid for 30 kilos. Takes about two weeks to get here.
