I think you might be right. I have another one lined up to view tomorrow.

Well here we go again... I was a member here when I had a Disco2 and now (after a couple of years of a sensible car) I'm looking at a Disco 3. MOT has an advisory of 'both rear interior sills rusty'. I've not viewed it yet (Monday) so that's all I have to go on. But if I bought it I'd want it...

As per my 'Thank you and goodbye' post in the Discovery subforum, it's time to move her on. She's for sale on Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Discovery-II-TD5-/172642181764 I genuinely have no idea what a fair price is so I'm letting Ebay decide but if you're inerested, I'm happy to...

Sadly it's time to let the Disco go... She's running fine for now but I need to get a more modern (boring) family car. Something that I can rely on for long family driving holidays into Europe (3 planned in next 12 months). In part I've been out-manoeuvred by Mrs Higgo. She used to have the...

Good to hear. Sorry I couldn't help last night.

Sorry, no. I'm the only one of my mates with a 4x4 these days. I'm an un-modified D2 with road tyres and a tow rope but I could go up tomorrow morning. If one road-tyred D2 can't pull him out, maybe two can?

Yep, Derbyshire Bridge is the top of the Goyt Valley, Cat & Fiddle end of the old road to Buxton. I'm down the road in Macc but have had a few beers watching the football so not much help.

Looking back at the MOTs of mine it has a long history of scraping through on retest emissions. I recently had my EGR blanked and it failed next MOT. After some enthusiastic driving up a local hill it passed.

It's 2000 registered, '99 built so I assume it doesn't have a cat?

OK, I'm convinced. I plan to get one of these: http://www.flatdoguk.com/discovery-td5~480 unless anyone recommends better/cheaper?

Yep, I know that bit doesn't remove any emissions per se but wondered if changing the back pressure changed how it runs. I don't mind a bit of extra noise and I certainly don't mind a bit of extra throttle response. I am told by the local pub doom-monger that it will use more fuel and be a...

I'm sure this has been done on here and I have looked. My exhaust is blowing from the mid section. I'm toying with replacing it with a 'straight-through' pipe. What are the pros and cons? In particular mine has a long history of scraping through MOTs on emissions. Will a pipe make this worse...

Well done, Disco. Good luck with the insurance company.

No

Seen it and done it but I think it's gone beyond that now. What I've found is that when it won't open it will if I go for a drive. My two (equally unlikely) theories are that It's often stood for a few days - driving it may give that extra little bit of oomph to the battery to actuate the...

I don't s'pose you know where I can find it. The tailgate is becoming a bit more fussy than before and I'd like to get it fixed before it's too late. I'll have another look at RAVE as well.

Mine are standard 18" with 4 season tyres. I use it 95% on road. They're OK off road but not great. The plan is to retire the Disco from family duties in the summer and turn it into a weekend toy. It will need different tyres then almost certainly on 16" rims.

I have no interest in taking my TD5 into any of those five UK cities. I love visiting London but wouldn't take *any* vehicle there.

That video's great except that he doesn't actually fit the mirror back in. Someone more cynical than me might think that that's because every time he tried it, it cracked!

My latest frustration... This isn't the first time I've had to replace the mirror glass and I haven't got it right yet. Yesterday I noticed the drivers side wing mirror was loose and wouldn't adjust. It was only attached on one side. So I took it off and tried to put it on again. I got it on but...
