    M and S issue

    I've replaced the XYZ switch a few years ago, but now getting M&S lights flashing, and D in LCD flashing - but not going into limp and starts fine. Mainly happens when I've shifted (slowly) from R to D. It is a P0705 fault. I had extended the AC drain tube previously but saw today that has...

    Have removed all three bolts etc and assume the FPR assembly would detach easily from the engine block - but it won’t budge. Any thoughts? Thank you!

    Disco 2 Bottom windscreen finisher seal gap?

    The rubber seal at the bottom of my windscreen is pretty tired - should it be forming a proper seal against the windscreen? Won’t water just run down the windscreen into the heater intake? Therefore should I try to replace or just stick this against the windscreen with some black mastic? I think...

    Replacement 1/4 rear chassis

    Assume this is a dumb question - need a new 1/4 rear chassis for a 2003 D2 - found one which has 900mm extensions rather than 600mm - does that just mean the “arms” are longer and therefore can replace more of the rusty bits?!

    Discovery 2 - front right speakers no sound

    I have an aftermarket stereo fitted in my 2003 D2 - used to work perfectly. Now the front right speakers don't have sound - if you stick your ear by them you can just about hear something. Rear right all fine - and rest of car all fine. Is there a fuse to check? No-one has tampered with the...

    Rear bumper

    May be a dumb question - have just bought a rear bumper off Marketplace to replace the smashed one on my 2003 Disco 2 - assume there is no difference between pre and post facelift rear bumpers? Can you buy the wrong one? Car not with me at present but it looks the same to me!

    Disco 2- rear bumper foam piece?

    Bought a second hand bumper to replace mine - the new one has a piece of foam stuck on the inside on one side, but no the other so assume missing. Is this important and does anyone have a part number? It's the curved bit in the photo - sorry about the shadow. Thank you!

    Disco 2 Reset gearbox adaptive values

    have recently had a remap done by Alive Tuning and all my recent problems seem to have gone, although the gear changes don't feel right. Just wondering if I should do the adaptive value reset so the ECU can relearn my driving style? Do have a Nanocom. Assume its ok to do this after a remap?

    Disco 2 D2 splutter

    my 2003 D2 has started to splutter now and again - seems to be running just fine then I'll get a splutter and then it's fine again. Not all the time - did it just now as I was accelerating at about 40mph and then again at 60. Any ideas?

    Disco 2 New driver seat cloth

    I need to replace the cloth on my driver's seat base. Could someone help identify the colour/cloth. Have attached a photo, but the middle is sort of velour and the sides are leatherette - colour is a bit almond on the sides and slightly greener in the middle! Car is 2003 D2, possibly XS...

    Disco 2 high pitched squealing

    I'm getting a high-pitched squealing from underneath my 2004 Disco 2 at 30mph - happens both when accelerating and cruising. Sounds metallic - and definitely underneath so not engine related. I have greased the UJs but maybe need more. Any suggestions gratefully received!

    Is it worth changing a steering box with slight leak?

    Would appreciate views - have a 2003 D2 with a steering box that has had a slight leak for the last couple of years. A few drips a day - so not pouring out, and after a decent clean got past MOT without an advisory (but has had for the last three years about this). Is this something just to...
