    Disco 3 (LR3) Is silicone worth it? (Intercooler Hose)

    I've had a split appear in the top intercooler hose of the D3. Characteristic symptoms (loss of power, smoke, increased fuel use) and sure enough there's a split just above the top bend in the hose. No biggie, taped up for now and will change the hose this week. Looking on youtube it seems a...

    Disco 3 (LR3) Joined the D3 Club

    Ok - so i've probably gone mad, i'm probably going to regret it, and i'm sure as hell going to miss having a D2 which I was happy to abuse off road... but as of a week ago I've joined the D3 club. A large part of the reason is work, as well as some changes in my personal life. I need a car...

Central locking does the following: Remote - does nothing to the central locking but does seem to set and unset the alarm Drivers door Key - locks and unlocks drivers door only. Intermittently...

    Disco 2 Camera or Parking Sensors

    I regularly have the joy of parking the D2 in Bath. Anyone familiar with Bath's streets will know that on-street parking spaces tend to be pretty tight. Whilst i'm more than happy reversing into tight parking bays, onto a slightly awkward drive, etc, the lack of decent rear visibility on a D2...

    Disco 2 "Hot smell" after hard driving

    So last night I was out with the landrover supervising a Scout Night Hike and due to some of the kids having what we might call a "navigational error" I had to get from A to B fairly quickly down about 4 miles of narrow hilly single track country lanes. The result was a D2 being driven pretty...

    Disco 2 rear step replacement

    The metalwork inside the rear step on my D2 has completely rusted away, to the point that the plastic surround came loose last week. Thankfully it was spotted and recovered :) The box-section arm is still in good nick - its just the inside of the actual step. Seems like classic landrover - use...

    Disco 2 Parrot Bluetooth Kit Install

    Parrot wired-in handsfree bluetooth kit arrived today. Its 2nd hand, and one of the first jobs will of course be checking that everythings there. Unfortunately my wife is of the opinion that if I have time to go and do jobs on the landrover that must mean I have time to do work on the house, so...

    Salisbury Plain - Off the ranges

    Due to some rather complex diary arrangements, the only date that we can manage for a trip that i've long been promising a friend down to the plains is whilst the ranges are in use. Obviously that rules out many of the best bits, particularly the byways across the Bulford and Larkhill ranges...

    Salisbury Plain - Nine Mile River Crossing

    Just wondering whether anyone has done the Nine Mile River Crossing on the Old Marlborough Road across the plain? It can be easily avoided by using an alternative byway around 200m further East, but we were intrigued as to whether it is actually a doable route. Sadly the light faded before we...

    Disco 2 Air Suspension Fault

    Hi Have had a search around on the forum and can't find this fault mentioned - might just be being blind though! Noticed yesterday that rear air suspension was very low. Tried raising it and nothing happened. No noise from compressor. Looked under bonnet and the Fuse was blown. Replaced the...

    Disco 2 Switches in headlining trip

    On Thursday night, it became obvious that whilst the worklights i've fitted (but not yet wired up) on the back will be incredibly useful, but it would also be useful to have some form of lighting attached to the roof rails pointing sideways to light up the area next to the vehicle. We used to...

    Disco 2 D2 Clock Light

    A few weeks ago I installed a flashing amber beacon system (for use when driving around event sites). To power the control unit on the dashboard I connected into the permanent live supply to the clock. For ease I also connected the earth into the earth wire from the clock rather than finding a...
