    1999 Discovery 2 Transfer box oil

    Hi, we have got a 99 Discovery 2, V8i - LPG, we have just changed the transfer box oil & front & rear diff box oils and we have used Rock Oil 5/30 fully synthetic oil which we had very highly recommended to us. Now a bit worried if this is this as good at the 75/90 that is usually...

    300tdi mpg

    Thanks for that - maybe we will try and pack the caravan weight differently next time, or maybe we will tow with the Civic - we get around 35mpg towing with that. Civic is no good for the green lanes tho!!

    300tdi mpg

    Ours struggled big time on the hills - got down to 20-25mph at one stage! I think our tyres will make quite a difference as well, they are more suited to off roading than tarmac! - I think de-cat pipe sounds worth while. We were did get concerned about braking with the caravan on, cos, when...

    300tdi mpg

    It does sound like de-cat exhaust might be the way to go? Think I'll do some investigating, especially if it can make that much difference! Thanks. :):):

    Sounds like ours isn't doing too badly then - ours does about 425 to a full tank.

    300tdi mpg

    What MPG do you get from your disco? Ours is a 95 300TDI auto, with 125,000 on the clock. We are running Insa Turbo Sahara tyres (granted, not the best tyres for road work, but fantastic off-road) and we average 23 mpg off-roading and general running about. When towing our caravan (1000kg) at...

    Is this MPG any good ?

    Your fuel economy sounds good to me - in our 95 Disco 300TDI we get an average of 23mpg off-roading and running around and when we pulled our caravan at the weekend (1000kg) we only got 17mpg! we were only doing a max of 55 - 60 as well! :crazy_driver:

    Remote central locking - keyfob sinc??

    Thanks for that, we did have to fit a replacement ECU to get the central locking to work, so it sounds like we will need to have our existing fobs programmed then - we will look into the contact you have recommended. Thanks for your help.

    Remote central locking - keyfob sinc??

    Hi, we have tried the above several times, but it doesn't seem to work for us. The LED indicator on the dash doesn't flash and the indicators don't flash - does it matter that ours is a single blipper not a double? We tried it with both of our keyfobs and get the same problem each time...

    Bits for disco?

    Yet another update ..... we have central locking working as well now!! - replacement central locking ECU purchased from Ebay £9.95 - fitted it and worked straight away. Just need to sinc the keyfobs now, gonna sort that tomorrow. Then.... out to find some mud.

    Bits for disco?

    Hi... a further update for you. We have finally got rid of the ABS light and intermitant break failure!! - yipeeee!! (and no, we haven't taken out the bulb or fuse!) With the help of our local friendly LR specialist garage (£20 diagnostic check) we appear to have fixed the fault. As well as a...
