Now I have the Disco 2 I'm already considering a remap... The performance is fine on the motorway, just some of the hills round here can only just be taken in 5th and a little more oomph for overtaking would be nice. Note I will occasionally tow a small RIB (under 1te) in the future. I like the...

A grease gun is on my list of bits to buy. Should be handy for the tractor too... A useful thread.

I'm just pi$$ing by!

Thanks.

Looking at getting a dog guard for my TD5, has anyone tried this quick fit type: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Discovery-2-TD5-Dog-Guard-Half-Height-Mesh-QUICK-FIT-STC50323-LM018-/262724293620?hash=item3d2b9693f4:g:-LYAAOSw44BYLwqs As it would save faffing about with fitting kits etc...

Well deposit has gone down. Once I pay in full AND get home I'll post some pictures up. Thanks for the input so far.

How easy is it to buy/change the black wheel arch extensions, one I'm looking at has faded ones.

Just has a test drive, very slight steering wheel shimmer at 50 which then disappeared. Any big issue or just likely wheel balance? It was gone at 70.

Now lined up 3 to look at tomorrow. Surely one out of three will be a good one!

Thanks for the offers/advice. Depending on how the weekend's Disco shopping goes I may be back in contact...

One of the Disco 2s I'm going to look at doesn't have a tow bar fitted, so I would be looking to fit one. It would be used for towing my boat (a small RIB), occasional towing of my tractor (a small grey fergie) and also for the mountinmg of a bike rack. Are there many variations in towbar type...

Yep, I'll be taking a couple of copies, thanks for that very useful!

Well I'm booked in to look at two different ones this weekend. Fingers crossed at least one is ok.

My discipline is lacking at times!

Thanks for the insight so far, again much appreciated and interesting to hear the different view points, although more seem to be on the favourable side (which I suppose is a good thing).

I'm still chasing a decent Disco 2 (the good ones seem to sell quickly). This has got me thinking as my eyes stray to other cars, what made you buy a Disco 2? And would you buy one again?

Thanks for all the above.

That's a separate account, otherwise I'd have a bigger boat and a TDV8 FFRR! ;)

I understand older vehicles can often have issues, my daily drive is a 2003 VW t4 with 170k on the clock and the 2nd/weekend car is a '94 MX5, but I was wanting to get a feel for frequency/scale of expenditure on Disco 2s. This would replace the MX5 as a 2nd car (with the girlfriend and myself...

Still looking for a Disco 2 (manual, leather, preferably dark colour in good condition), but many of them seem to have issues of one sort or another. Out of interest what's your typical repair/maintenance budget for your Disco 2, and/or if you do a lot of work yourself how much time does it...
