    Disco 2 Stereo blues!

    It's a cheap £150 Chinese flip up screen head unit, though I would give it a try and see. I've connected the connector blocks from the HU to the car connector blocks and I can get sound from the radio, but nothing else, IE Amazon music, Bluetooth, aux lead etc. It's obviously going thru the amp...

    Disco 2 Stereo blues!

    Whilst it's possibly been asked before, I need help as I'm stumped trying to fit an aftermarket head unit to my D2, basically, I bought the car recently and it came with an aftermarket head unit fitted, which seems to work (with sound, Bluetooth etc) however, I have bought a flip screen android...

    The start of many questions!

    Yeah, that's one of the things that appealed to me with this car, the idea of TC and a CDL, have noticed when I switch the ignition on that the TC light comes on and goes out with rest as it should. Think I need to find me some mud and see if everything is working

    The start of many questions!

    Thanks for the replies, bulbs traction control, I might have been jumping the gun, I read some documentation that came with the car that said the TC was disabled! I thought, as it does have HDC and ABS it should have it as well. Like I say, jumping the gun, maybe I need to find some mud and have...

    Reintroduction

    Hey guys, used to be on here a number of years ago but sold my old Disco and moved on, however, I've decided to return the the fold and I'm collecting my new(old) Disco tomorrow, glutton for punishment some might say! Anyway, I will no doubt be bugging all you experts out there with questions...

    Disco 1 300tdi Burning oil diagnostic

    To me, and I may be wrong, it sounds like valve guide oil seals, letting a little oil seep thru after being stood overnight. Mine does the same, always when its cold and clears up after a couple of mins. Think if it was the head or gasket, it would smoke all the time. I'm not too worried about...

    quick couple of questions for ya

    Having just bought my second Disco, it now requires some attention(of course) so I thought I'd throw a couple of questions out there! First, when I unlock the central locking, the drivers door lock pin doesn't come up far enough to unlock the door, is this the common spring issue? Next up, the...

    Propshaft gone bye byes

    Stripped the propshaft off my old Disco and bolted it on the new and.....hey presto, instant smooth running car :-) Plan is to replace all the bolts as soon as I can as I'm not happy reusing old bolts on somthing like that! But the main thing is its up and running and hasn't cost a fortune :-)

    Propshaft gone bye byes

    Yeah, I'm really glad it didn't flip up and hit someones car or anything when it came out of the back of mine, I guess it could have been a lot worse!

    Propshaft gone bye byes

    And, yes to the last two replies, that is what I'll be doing. On the plus side, the rest of motor doesn't seem too bad :-) Just hoping the propshaft off my old '94 will be the same as the newer '97 model

    Propshaft gone bye byes

    The response I got off the geezer I bought it off, when I explained I was sat at the side of the A64 with a broken car having just avoided causing a multi car pile up, that I'd literally just bought off him was, "well you checked it out and said it was fine so there's nothing I need to do about...

    Propshaft gone bye byes

    Thanks for the replies guys, finally got home on the back of a "a very nice mans" recovery wagon, had a look underneath and it would appear one of the UJs has shattered allowing the prop to let loose its fury and destroy the other UJ and go howling and clanging down the road! No other damage as...

    Propshaft gone bye byes

    Has anyone experienced this before? Just been to buy another D1 as my old one has died, on the way home noticed that there was a lot of vibration when accelerating, thought it might be the rear donut causing problems. However, whilst travelling in traffic on a dual carriage way at around 60mph...

    Disco 1 Steering wobbles

    Thanks for the replies chaps, replaced the steering damper which has calmed it down a little for now. Think i will have to work my way thru everything as its probably all worn out by now anyway, just have to add it to the ever expanding, never ending list of things to do :-)

    Disco 1 Steering wobbles

    Probably been mentioned before but, when driving along at anything over 40mph and I go over a bump/pothole, the steering wobbles badly! At motorway speeds, its truly scary! Checked underneath and nothing seems loose or overly worn, so I'm thinking a new steering damper?

    doors and dash queries

    Was also wondering if getting a hot air gun on it to warm it up would help with bending it back down?

    The joys of discovering your Discovery!

    Another addition to the joys of first time discovery ownership, removing certain plastic panels to discover more of the dreaded rot! But then, i didnt buy this motor cos it was mint! Thankfully, none of the rot looks too bad :-)
