Hi all, Sadly I'm selling my VGC Disco 2 :( A copy of the AutoTrader blurb is below with all info. I am the 3rd owner and this has been a fantastic vehicle, starts every time. I return roughly 30 mpg on a typical run, on a longer motorway run that creeps up slightly. Condition wise, it's...

Thanks mate, may take you up on that :)

Hi all, Looking for someone not too far from me that would read the codes on my Disco. Will happily provide beer tokens or similar for the favour. Trying to get to the bottom of the Three Amigos fault. Thanks Will

I think they change to 2 aerials half way through the Disco 2 cycle but I could be wrong?

I think the later models had the aerials fitted in the glass of the rear windows, looks a bit like heated glass. Mine has a wire going through the middle both rear windows.

Thanks for the reply, only 1 fit, the other has a slightly larger male connection. It's probably the other that will give the stronger signal as currently as the signal drops constantly.

Morning all, I put a new HU in my Disco but now have poorer radio reception and no AM. I understand that the second aerial is an amplified one but I wasn't sure how to connect it as well as the standard one. Does anyone know how to connect both to an after market HU? Is there an adapter or...

Technically I got an engine and gearbox warranty from the garage I bought my Disco from. I am wondering if this turns out to be an expensive repair that the garage should help cover the costs?! It may be worth a phone call.

What an offer! Sadly I won't be anywhere near Corby in the near future but thanks all the same. I'm going to get myself a Nanocom I think, we have 2 Discos in the family so no doubt it will come in useful. I'll also try the mod and see if that cures the problem.

Thanks for the replies. Mine has done it twice now in 2 weeks, no real pattern for them to come on. Just stopping and starting seems to clear it but I don't want to have to keep doing that each time! I'll have a look at the video when I get home later, thanks.

Thanks for the reply, I just found a thread on 'The Three Amigos' and also a link suggesting I buy a Nanocom. The fault is intermittent, stopping and starting again seems to clear the problem. I did read that there is an earth somewhere in the glove box which can be the cause so I'll have to...

Morning all, This has happened twice now in the 2 weeks I've owned my Disco. Driving along normally, the ABS, TC and downhill warning lights come on on the dash. There is no change in how it drives but still slightly concerning. Any ideas? Thanks Will

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was going to do but I was just seeing if my plan to connect using the phonos and turning off the internal amp would work.

Morning all, I am half way through installing (and blowing out and cleaning inside the dash) my new stereo in the Disco. So far I have removed the standard head unit and CD changer and begun tidying the wiring loom to allow a bit more room for the new one. My question, as the speakers are all...

Hi, sorry, I have the pictures taken today and I'll upload them this evening. Sorry, work got in the way.
