Not sure if this will be deleted :D Looking for alternatives to Disco 2, from other brands. So far X5 and ML come up but are hardly as capable at towing and off road. But since I almost never go off road other than to tow a trailer across a flat field or launch a boat on a slightly green...

Noticed rust that will fail MOT. It's rotted out the seam under the rubber door seal going around the arch on near side rear. Will get a photo to show but if you open NSR door, just near the seat there's a black seal running around wheel arch. The metal it grips to has rotted off. I was hoping...

Just wondered if anyone has had both or knows enough to make any sensible comparisons in terms of : Running costs Reliability Fuel economy PS I know the two vehicles are very much in a different class and most people wouldn't be considering them together but for variuos reasons we need 4 wheel...

I am considering switching from my D2 TD5 to a Freelender, probebly FL2. I never considered them really but a friend of mine just bought one and said it drives way nicer than my Disco (which is pretty horrible to drive, clutch/gearchange is so nasty!). Most important issue for me is MPG but I do...

I have wasted hours trying to make sense of bots and live chat morons who can't answer a straight question, wondering if anyone here might cut the research time down! Does anyone know of ANY company that offers car insurance with FULLY COMP cover to drive other vehicles, rather than just 3rd...

I need an original D2 Manual map, or just need to see the 'insides' of one to manually adjust mine so it passes emissions. Don't suppose anyone knows of one lying around I can take a few settings from? (My D2 was remapped, but I don't have the backup of the original map, which I now need to put...

The website is down. He was suggested to me a few years back on here. I sent my ECU to him and he remapped it. Looks like he's disappeared for good but wondered if anyone here knows him or has any contacts for him.

2004 D2 Suddenly yesterday the chime alarm started sounding, the one I usually hear when I leave keys in ignition or lights on engine off. No idea why, it comes on when I turn key to position 2 and/or start engine. It chimes constantly when driving, I haven't tested extensively yet but so far it...

My 2004 Landmark D2 seems to have a fuel gauge issue. I went out yesterday and when i left town the light came on even though the needle was on around a quarter (not in red). It's only 3 miles to home so it didn't concern me. Since then I did one journey around 5-6 miles, then yesterday it...

I have a 2004 Disco 2. Do they have a DPF? If so, I'd like to remove it!

I must have ordered about 3 different sets of wipers now, they never fit. Not sure if my D2 has non standard windscreen wiper arms, but nothing seems to fit. The end of them is a U shape with a hole in both sides. Is that normal? I really want the Bosch Aero style wipers, anyone know how to...

Howdy dudies. 2004 Disco2 (Manual). Desperately trying to improve fuel economy. Just wondered if anyone has any tips for next steps. I have had a manual before which did 30+ on a run, and a friend's got quite a bit better than that (after some mods). After doing a lot of work, the best I can...

I went to shoot some rabbits last night on friend's fields. I have 3 internal lights, front, rear seats and boot. I can turn off front with switch, but not sure how (or if poss) to stop rear two coming on when doors open. Is there a way? thanks

I have spent a lot of money on my D2 over the past month or two. As we had the chassis dropped we replaced the ACE pipes and rear brake pipes. ACE pipes were badly corroded and ready to give up. We couldn't get genuine LR pipes so had to get Britpart ones. The ACE unit was carefully cleaned...

Howdy Zoners 2004 Discovery TD5. I have a biodiesel processor I was given, a good one, brand new. I have a source for used veg oil (restaurants/chippies). IF I were to do it, it would extremely good grade stuff. Not "hooch". titration test, ph test, dry washed, etc etc. The thing is, the guy...

I bought some FL1 wheels a while back, the guy wasn't sure which model he had them on but pretty sure he had them on FL1, and had some spacers to use on his FL2 later. I bought the wheels but didn't get the spacers, wondering if I need them. When we fitted them, the inside of the spokes make...

Anyone know where I can get a decent used manual gearbox? Mine is notchy as hell, sometimes won't go into gear. It's definitely the gearbox. Wondering where a replacement can be got from? I think mine was an Ashcroft one (looks it) so looking for a genuine one which has a smooth change. Trouble...

Does anyone know if it's possible to make a set of Disco wheels (either 16" or 18") fit on a Freelander 1?

A friend of mine gave me a 55 plate Freelander TD4 yesterday for my son to learn to drive in. It has been standing a couple of years so needs work but worth putting some time and money into as it's not had a bad life apart from being neglected recently. Got it home, parked it, put keys on dash...

Trying to help out a friend. He has replaced his auto gearbox and torque converter. Did it with Disco on its side jacked up. He checked there was drive from rear of auto box in all gears and reverse, then put transfer box on and there's no drive at all. He plugged it in today and it has one...
