My vehicle has been into a garage for a service which actually included the full drain of the coolant and refill - because a coolant "hose" above the gearbox was noticed to need replacing i.e was leaking.... On receiving the car back i noticed that the climate control doesnt seem to be...

Labels??? neither of mine had the labels whether the 7seats were fitted or not, despite both having air.... When i come across quirky things like that, i just assume its a vehicle built on a friday afternoon, or one that passed a certain process just before a tea-break... I am off to look...

Before owning my current 2000MY V8 ES Disco 2, I had a 2001MY V8 XS Disco 2. It had 5 seats but also stated 7 seats. It had air rear suspension. Is it possible that vehicles fitted with air suspension, yet not fitted with 7 seats still have the correct documentation so should the seats be fitted...

Although dredding it, I got an aircon specialist to take a look at the car. He arrived vacuumed the system, and he was impressed with the fact that everything appeared in order. Added some oil and measured the 134 gas back in - to the correct level - under the bonnet there was a label with...

Managed to locate a New old stock seat of the right hand - so I am all sorted. It looks like the best option if you have a mechanism failure is to rob from another seat as parts from the dealer are not available individually. I have also ordered a seat back for the other seat, as these were...

Dealer has been very helpful, but lets just say the parts from land rover are more like assemblies - and small parts are not forthcoming. One of the most common parts to go wrong - the "leg" or "latch" is also one of the most expensive.... and the little lever on the side to lower the back...

After reading the posts on air conditioning I dont really see the answer to my problems for later shape Disco2. Although everyone seems to be having gremlins with 200/300s. The a/c is not functioning in my opinion. It can be cool, but it can also create this background heat in the car very...

I am going to borrow a RAVE CD off someone, and i think i should get at the end of the week, but was wondering if anyone could assist in the meantime. Thanks for your help

Neither of the rear seats were operational on my 2000MY Disco2. Today I have managed to make one perfect one from two. A spring was missing on the link between the cams on the "leg" - and some other parts needed lubricating. On the second seat things dont look so great. The spring is now...

Last morning with a light frost on the journey to work the Disco started to slide on a bend! Took me quite by suprise but managed to get it back without too much hassle - considered it to be a one off! On the drive to work today...similar conditions, much more cautious...no problems at the...

Well I picked up the discovery on Saturday... Its a 2001 V8i XS - in dark red (sure some people will know the proper name of the colour) - half grey /alcantra interior. 1 Owner from new, 12months MOT with no advisories :-) It was a main dealer part exchange, and was supplied and maintained by...

I was thinking of doing the same for trips when the vehicle is in Europe, i.e having some spare lamps, and simply swapping them over. But of interest do you think this would effectively invalidate insurance? If you have a UK based policy? When the insurance advisor always says: "standard...

Thanks Dave, Is there a buying guide on this website, or things I need to look out on Disco 2 or V8s in particular....obviously normal bits and pieces, but what does go wrong on them? When I get it I will have to post lots of pictures, I bet i will be modifying after a few weeks - already...

Thanks guys for all your input...Initially I was V8 keen and then started looking TD5 because of resale value...but to get a TD5 auto in a nice colour with leather - breaks the budget, or compromise on condition, or mileage. There are some steals at 5k I have been offered 2004 TD5 Newer...

more than enough snow to play with here, but unfortunately no disco just yet. Been searching hard today...but although there is a lot of choice, not one vehicle stands out as perfect... I guess thats the used car market for you..
